Week 3:

The volcano decides to make its presence known with a little rumbling, unsettling visitors (especially Feliciano, before he and Leo head out of town) but mostly passing for business as usual among the locals. The gladiators are generally not fussed by the rain; neither is Remus, but he is supremely fussed by the news that his cousin’s arranged a marriage for him; Servia, though, is rather happier with it. Eli paints some portraits over the course of the week. Phillipus attempts to work out his next steps with Junia. Ambrosius makes a major push to read some auspices, and settles Asha into her new routine. Gratia is unnerved by the volcano’s rumblings. Chloe throws a party to celebrate Servia’s engagement, and to try to introduce Corvus to some new friends certainly not to celebrate their budding criminal enterprise, what gave you that idea. She even nets herself a rather more casual proposal in the process.

Zed makes good on his plan to buy Zo and a few of her compatriots; when the sale’s done, he throws a party. Naoto enjoys the rain, if not the tremors, and has a herd of cats to work around (thanks, Souji). Davesprite is left unattended, with Feli gone - what could possibly go wrong. Right wonders if the unusually low tide might indicate a tsunami, and runs afoul of some suspicious generosity. Saul is not terribly fond of any of this weather.

Week 4 Plotting:
The Fishermen's Games promise gladiatorial combat, swimming and sailing competitions, and an open-air fish fry at the city's temples, while Senatorial scheming, star-crossed love affairs, arranged marriages, & slaves' struggles to right the course of their lives intersect in a festival week that will not be soon forgotten.

Questions and Plotting go below. Both climax and resolution of personal plot arcs should play out over the course of the week, as the mingle on the 18th will begin with the return to Liminal Space, and kick off the Fourth Wall with a somewhat plotty bang.
