Agonalia

[parens_patriae]

 -Given that he isn't very busy with current affairs, being technically dead and all, Ancient Rome has decided to personally make sure his gods and festivals aren't forgotten in HQ! Oh god. January 9th is the first Agonalia, which means that it's time for some more celebrating, drinking...and ritual animal sacrifices.-

TODAY we're celebrating Janus

I don't know where you can find a good ram, but I know where you can find good vodka! [Hint: it's in his pockets.]

[parens_patriae]

...somewhere in that giant coat of yours, I'm betting? Don't make me look for it.

Maybe Janus would accept me sacrificing my liver instead of a sheep this year.

[nutty_russian]

[He giggles and pulls two bottles out of his coat, handing one to you] No need for that, da!

Rome's still scared shitless of your Russia XD

[parens_patriae]

-laughs, and takes one. That incident at the ice skating rink has pretty much saved you from ever getting molested by Rome. Terror > libido! -

You know, some people might say we drink too much.

[tomate_amor]

Padre! It's a surprise to see you!

A good ram? Don't think you can find one here.

[parens_patriae]

Nepos! <3 -always has a soft spot for his former territories-

Then what am I supposed to sacrifice to the gods? They need something.

[tomate_amor]

You can try looking for choice meat cuts in the market place....

[ Biiiiiig grin, cos he remembered something important. ]

Padre, I am getting married and becoming a father myself!

[parens_patriae]

But those are already dea--

What?! Who's the little woman? When is the wedding? I am bringing food-- -is going to keep blathering until you shut him up-

[parens_patriae]

To kill it, of course.

[parens_patriae]

To please the gods and curry their favor!

[finelyfeathered]

...I would find one for you, but I'm afraid I might find a cursed person instead.

[parens_patriae]

Gaul! -Like he said with Spain, Rome will always think of his kids as cute, squishy little territories-

Yea, I was worried about that myself...

[finelyfeathered]

[Who you calling 'squishy'? >:T]

Well, if you splash them with warm water before killing them, you should be fine...

[parens_patriae]

-Everyone! They don't make manry men like Rome anymore.-

You got my brains, obviously. Though I think Russia's gonna help me find and kill a ram.

[tinymusicgenius]

Father did what? [stops upon hearing the thing about the Germans]

[parens_patriae]

-Oh god, conflict of interest. It's a cute little territory, but it's...his.-

Killed me.

[tinymusicgenius]

[eyes go wide] He... killed you? But... [Okay, Rome was mean to him but... He's Hispania's dad and he likes Hispania]

[parens_patriae]

Yea, check it out!

-pulls aside his tunic a bit to reveal the criss-cross of scars on his torso, most of them from Germanic tribes-
