Ave, Numeri Icili!
I've read you 'hanging around' for the last few weeks; Welcome to the RP Thread!
Our story has been going on for quite some time in RL, but in fact not all that much "game-time" has passed. Our characters spent a few days in Rome, each having his reasons to help the others, and all bound for Britain to try to (a) find lost kinfolk and (b) sort out a situation before it turns into a full-blown war. Draco's brother has been drafted into the Legions; Curio's has been a champion of the Native faction. The last thing we want is them killing each other...
Our characters only left Rome maybe a little over a week ago, maybe two. A certain Senator (Gaius Equitius) may or may not have his goon squad after us. He had wanted us to delay our journey long enough to do some dirty work for him (discredit an opponent), with refusal not being listed as an option, and we--Brats!!--refused him anyway and snuck out the back door, so to speak. So we are trying not to be anywhere he might look for us, starting with Ostia (we're shooting for Massilia instead)...
As for your other Equitius in the OP, that may have been Senator/Consular/All-That-Rot Lucius Equitius Cincinnatus. He's the fellow that had me strung up over an April Fool's Day prank. That right there ought to tell you everything you need to know about the OP. Needless to say, story-Marius doesn't like story-Equitius very much at all; but I get along quite well with the fellow who plays him! >({|;-)
So feel free to make up a character, give him a reason to be on the road with us, and we will take care of the rest!
(I tried jumping onto the other RP, with an IC post that I've since deleted; I never got a response from the person that started it, not to that post and not to my many OOC queries.)
In amicitia et fide,
Aldus Marius Peregrinus.
