Time to get branded

[toobitter]

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.

[If you had asked Annie a few years ago if she ever thought she'd get a tattoo, she would have said no. But now, she was about to get her fifth. Dressed in her toga, she's managed to braid her unruly hair in a sort of crown, with seaweed and a water lily braided in amongst it, to represent her father. Already the tattoo on her arm showed the traditional SPQR, as well as the trident and seven lines already from the years she'd been to Camp Jupiter, having gone since she was nine.

Luckily, the Mist had taken care of any questions anyone would have had about why a middle schooler had a tattoo.

Anyway, as always, she hovered over towards the side, taking in everything rather than going out of her way to participate. For now, at least.]
