Time to get branded

Who: Reyna + Romans (and anyone who wants to watch?)
What: Get another bar added to your SPQR tattoo!!!
Where: The Arena. Because that's about as Roman as it could get here.
When: October 18.

Reyna gave the message to the Romans at morning training. The next bar for the Legionnaires in their years of service to New Rome... It was, like for the Greek campers and their beads on their necklaces, a big deal for Romans.

And so this afternoon, Reyna sat in the Arena in her ceremonial toga, dogs on either side of her. It would be time for the branding ceremony soon enough, to honor the Gods, their ancestors and all those who served the Legion before them... And to earn their new bar. For those on Probatio to get theirs and to be one of the few actual Roman things left in their control. If there are Greeks or Magicians that want to witness the ceremony, Reyna will not turn them away, glad to share a part of their culture with everyone else.

[Ven's right here next to you bro. To stop you from screaming. Because he knows you likely will.]

[Hey he's not that big of a weenie. Okay he might scream a little, but mostly because he has no idea what to expect. Are they going to break out a tattoo gun, or is it going to get wild west up in here.]

[John is pretty sure he'd go with the tattoo guy, tyvm.]

[But hey, teasing aside, he is glad Ven is there! He gives him a small nervous smile.]

[Don't you know by now? It's ~magic~. Although how they're going to do this without the augur is something he's not too sure on himself. He can't say he's sorry that Octavian is one of the ones they're not sure about. He returns John's nod, but focuses his eyes on the praetors once again to wait for them to speak.]
