  1. Horatia was no stranger to the market place, she and her daughter ventured there often for one thing or another. She knew she could send the slaves and trust them to get the orders right, but she had a thing about getting her own stuff for projects she was working on as gifts. Especially when it came to fabrics. Liking the be able to feel the quality of them before she purchased yards of it. 

    This day was no different, with Appiana at her side as they moved through the crowd, stopping here and there to purchase little items that her daughter could carry with ease. Doing their business until she felt her daughter's frantic tugging at her arm. And she took a moment to keep herself modest as she asked her daughter what was wrong. "Flavia and Lucilla, mama!" came the reply pointing to the moving figures of  two people they apparently knew. 

    A smile played at her lips and she nodded to her daughter, "So it is, go great them while I pay here." She said sending the girl off, watching her as she ran through the crowd to meet up with their cousins. "Thank you" She said the merchant, handing him a few coins, "Keep the change" She continued before following the way her daughter went, calling out in greeting, "Flavia!"

  2. Aelia stepped into the domus one of the last to arrive, despite living on the same hill of the gathering's hostess. She had swiped her sister's copy of the tale to be read after spending an evening with her, not wanting to come unprepared.  A gathering of women pouring over some old story was more her sister's cup of tea than hers, but Aelia was never a wallflower. Nor was she a social climber, but having married up when she married her and her sisters' childhood friend she felt her place was to be in society. 

    Finding an empty seat on the outer reaches of the placed settees, she opened the well loved book that had her sister's hand writing on the sides. Little notes made by Gaia for future references, she supposed and she smiled tenderly before glancing up and taking a quick study of the room. Others were chattering and she contented herself to listen to the chatter instead of joining it just yet.

  5. "Ah, yes." She said glancing at the other stall as it was pointed out, "I've had run ins there. He tends to overprice and his product doesn't hold for long. It's surprising he still has customers to claim." More like the man had run ins with her husband after crates of near rotten produce had been delivered at their domus in the recent month. He seemed to be the only vendor she had issue with when it came to purchasing for home or the Venus. And even if her expression soured a bit as she once more stole a glance to the other stall before plastering back on her smile and glancing at the young woman. 

    Ah good, they delivered. Perfect. "For now I will take half a dozen of the limes and lemons. I will have to talk to the cook at my place of business first to see what she'll need on a day to day or weekly basis, but for the peaches." She paused, glancing at them again. They were quite large,  as she was barely able to fit her hand around the one she had, and she hoped they were as juicy as the promised. "I would like a dozen of them, and if I could set up a delivery of the same amount weekly to be sent to the Venus I would appreciate it. I have special friend who is a lover of peaches and I'd like to surprise her. But I fear she lives too far out of the city to ask you to deliver them to her personally.

  7. Rome was starting to recover from the earthquake, the rubble had been cleaned away and building were being worked on to be brought back to their former glory. The Venus was included in all of this, perhaps paying a little more than she normally would have for the pace she demanded. Her clientele was already sniffing around and while she wasn't sure how bad the Elysium got hit, she wasn't about to lose her big spenders due to a little earthquake. And while they weren't reopened just yet, as the plaster and paint was still drying, her husband had allowed her a generous budget for new curtains and such for the building. Which would eventually lead her to the marketplace, flitting around the various fabric stalls to price things before she would set off one of the men with her to haggle once she was certain they had the quality she wanted. 

    Then she was off looking at the others, purchasing a few bangles before heading over to where most of the food stalls were laid out. The sounds of merchants calling out to potential patrons were barely heard over the chattering sounds of the people she moved by. She normally didn't stop for food, but the kitchens at the Venus was pretty much in use to feed only the workers, and didn't provide what she normally liked daily when she arrived to oversee things. And then the fresh fruits and vegetables caught her eye. And she paused, a few feet away from it as she scanned the items. Before finally approaching the stall and picking up a peach. A smile playing at her lips as she focused on the succulent fruit in her hand. 

    The worker moved, and she saw the movement just beyond the peach and she glanced up, a playful smile still playing on her lips. "How much?" She asked, holding it up. She would wait once she knew the price of one before asking how much a basket would be, her mind instantly going to the goddess among them that would often visit the Venus and Gaia's love for peaches. "And do you deliver?

    It was early morn, one of the few hours of the day that the Venus was closed to customers. Allowing its inhabitants to rest and clean up after their long evening of debauchery. Titinia was hoping to catch a few hours of sleep before the sun was high in the sky, alerting everyone it was time to rise and ready the brothel for the evening to come. For her to spend a few hours being a mother to her young children. But that didn't seem to be fated for her that night. Her life was never simple; being a mother of five, a gang leader's wife and a brothel madam.  She had children to raise, a husband to keep after and clients to please. Because heaven forbid they go to the stink hole that called themselves a brothel down the way. 

    So instead of sleeping, she was in her office. Looking over the books one last time to make sure all was in order before finally being ready to go to bed, it was too late for her to venture home. Falco was sleeping and her husband had too many enemies for her go alone. That's when the tremors started. The world shaking beneath their very feet and she watched as her candle began to vibrate towards the end of the desk. She snatched it up before it reached it and she stood from her desk, keeping calm as she made her way into the hallways. She wasn't the only one alerted, groggy whores and sleepy house slaves a like were stumbling from their pallets. "Get down stairs. Into the open area, go on with all of you!" She's barked at them as she joined the crowd of moving bodies.

    There were some screams to be heard as plaster fell from the ceiling behind her, naked or barely clothed figures screaming in terror as they moved to get downstairs. Where the fuck where her bouncers? And Gods, please tell her that none of her clients were there, spending nights with their favorites. That would be a disaster she wasn't ready to face. Ever.
