The Senate Floor II

[Tassadar500]

My gift to the Senators of Rome is a new Senate building. The old one was falling apart, and had an odd smell to it, so I decided a new one was needed. Welcome.

Be assured that I am not forgetting our glorious empire and my duties to it. My family and I have just moved to a new palace and once I'm finished scrubbing the floors (you think the emperor is a tyrant? You should meet my wife) I will deal with affairs of state.

Tonight I will write up a poll asking for your opinions on the direction of our empire. These will be ignored but such gestures seem to keep the people happy.

Yours,

Marcus Koreanus,
Emperor of Rome, Servant of the People, Slave of Korean Wife

Woo-hoo, a new Senate building at last!

And how is this to be paid for Senators? From war booty? Or from us taxing the working class and plebeians?

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Hmmm I dont like the colour scheme, cant we have Red walls ???

[Aqualung71]

Why, what colour are the new ones?

Red... I think we have a colour-blind senator. And with regards to the financial issue of this new senate building, I paid for it with my own gold.

All Hail Senator Nuclear for his magnificant gesture to Rome

[Paddy]

ok, so we're in this new building - good value indeed

any word on when Emperor Masuro will be handing over the reigns of power???

[Donegeal]

Soon I believe. I hear things have become ..ah.. difficult for him during his time as Emperor.

Where is that Great Roll of Emperors? Who's next?

[Aqualung71]

The former glorious empire of Rome has become a rudderless ship, drifting towards inevitable decay.

Kinda like real life, huh?

Last day in the Senate

MDCCCLXXXIX arrives late for another sleepy afternoon senate session. He has grown comfortable in his routine and hardly ever thinks of his past or how he has risen to such a fine position in the world. Mr. and Mrs. MDCCCLXXXIX have not however and are eager to surprise their son with their first visit to the capitol.

They greet him so to speak with open mouths, mouths that have dropped open in shock or horror. They demand explanations that are not easy to give. They are confused, the mother bursts into tears and worst of all a crowd forms.

“That’s not MDCCCLXXXIX, that’s not our son. That’s MCMXLV, our son’s servant and a slave!” "Gasp" goes the crowd. MCMXLV is unable to continue the masquerade for long. Unlike MDCCCLXXXIX he is wholly illiterate, has horrid breath, an incredibly dull sense of humor, is nearly a full fathom shorter and has strange lesions that he claims are not in fact his but actually belong to a lady friend that he met just last night. When the magistrate arrives the story comes out.

MDCCCLXXXIX was kinda killed by bandits just outside Lake Palmyra when he and his slave set out for Rome so long ago. MCMXLV assumed his masters identity and continued on to Rome rather then return to Lake Palmyra and explain about the strange lesions.

Upon hearing that the sentence for his crimes is to be crucified along Via Apia at dawn, he refuses to explain his use of “kinda” in the previous paragraph.

[Paddy]

wow... what an amazing turn of events indeed

and we thought those lesions were quite becoming in the end

[Tassadar500]

I accept your resignation.
