TDM ✦ Oct. 2018
CODED BY BOOTYCALL
Arrival ▸ with Mary Crawley
Horatio wakes up in ancient Rome and immediately contrives to fall from even the smallest height, as witnessed by an incredibly patient woman.
First Breakfast ▸ with Archie Kennedy
Having run into an old friend, Horatio gets slightly excited about the possibilities of being in ancient Rome.
Second Breakfast ▸ with James Norrington
Having run into a superior officer, Horatio gets slightly more excited about having fresh fruit in his life and slightly less excited about learning to fight with a gladius.
On Monde Testaccio ▸ with Henry Percy
Horatio embarks on a definitely important quest to definitely help a definitely worthy cause. More importantly, he does it with someone who has actual wisdom.
A Dormouse Quest ▸ with James Norrington
July ✦ Nov. 2018
An innocent shopping trip turns is briefly diverted into genuine amazement over gliraria and oyster farming.
Training Day ▸ with Xu Shu
Apparently the right response to incredible frustration and self-loathing is to take a deep breath and focus on the change you can make in yourself.
Garum Buddies ▸ with Ainchase "Ain" Ishmael
Friends are easier to make if they also don't particularly want to talk and appreciate non-questions.
Festival Chatter ▸ with James Norrington
Even the ancient Romans don't know about ancient Rome. Time for some wild speculation amongst nerds.
Festival Attending ▸ with Archie Kennedy, Daud
How To Win Friends And Influence People: Let Archie Kennedy Do All Your Talking For You, a short essay by Horatio Hornblower.
Festival Shennanigans ▸ with Archie Kennedy
Chasing a mysterious cloaked figure leads to no actual information about said mystery but lots of information about 'when in Rome.'
Contextual Research ▸ with Adam Pierson (Methos)
There's lack of editing and there's encouraging lack of editing. And paranoia. Both? Both is good.
Digging Deeper ▸ with River Song
Land is hard. Maybe attacking the land will be less hard. Like with a shovel, hopefully.
Like Falling Off A Bike ▸ with Lady Cassandra de Rolo
Heights are fine. Heights are great. Horatio isn't afraid of heights heights are afraid of him why are they up so high??
Calendrical Conversations ▸ with Ainchase "Ain" Ishmael
When everything is starting to go to shit, it helps to have a someone else around to talk to about how calendars work.
Exhaustive Research ▸ with James Norrington
Wherein the case is once again made for actually getting any sleep at all when one can't fall back on coffee to get one through.
First Blood (Arena VI) ▸ with Loki Odinson
All credit to Xu Shu and Diana Prince for Horatio's first attempt in the arena winding up a success. Some credit also to luck, and some credit also to general support from the Chosens' naval delegation. Little to no credit to Horatio Hornblower.
The Absolute Uniqueness ▸ with Artorius Castus
Things are getting ghostly. This is surely the best time to approach people who've been giving you side-eyes for a while.
The Haunting ▸ with Archie Kennedy
August ✦ Dec. 2018
The ghostly voices aren't so bad. Or, at least, they aren't so bad until they try to wreck your best friend.
A Reg'lar Bull & Tarrier ▸ with James Norrington, Archie Kennedy
The Royal Navy: Rome finds out that the arena will be hosting a naval battle. The hype can be heard ringing through the centuries.
Boney Marched To Moscow ▸ with Ainchase "Ain" Ishmael
Ain has had a hard time in the Arena just recently. But probably the best thing is for him to go back again. Right? Right.
The Coasts of High Barbary ▸ with Henry 'Hotspur' Percy
Henry Percy wants you to win in the arena. That's basically no pressure. No pressure at all. It's fine. You've got this.
100 Years Is A Very Long Time (Arena VII) ▸ Arena Party Log
Fire Ships II: Romelectric Bugaloo ; featuring (1) a battle in flames with River, (2) a telling-off with James, and (3) a very tired night with Archie.
Blow the Man Down ▸ with Squalo Superbi
There's really nothing good about the pit and the dead body and the leeches. But there is basic human decency. Maybe.
A Thing With Feathers ▸ with James Norrington
After the unhappy collapse of the chain of command in the arena, James returns from being missing with Group 1 a handful of the Chosen. It's a good thing. A weird thing, but a good thing.
Eheu ▸ with River Song
Someone's back to bad habits. Someone else is going to shame him into going to bed in true Roman style: with intense dick jokes.
