Why Me?

Quinn stared at the announcement in disbelief.

... The red carpet will lead everyone straight into the Coliseum of Rome...

The Tammys were going to be presented in Rome? Of all the places they could've picked! Province? Beautiful. Venice? She'd been there before, for Arthur's sake. But Rome? The very heart of the Empire she hated? Six months ago, she would've said "no way in hell!" But now... She'd already bought the dress, and had made plans to go with Adam. She had to admit, albeit very grudgingly, that the few conversations she'd had with Marius, Mark & Lance had her reforming her opinions of Romans in general. She still wasn't much for the chickenshit Cæsars, like Nero, who never took to the front lines with the troops they condemned to die.

Pride stiffened her spine. Oh, she'd go to Rome alright, and dance on Nero's grave while she was there.

It's a shame, but they feel that they don't want to hear about the 'losers'.

Though, it is the stories about the 'losers' that are most interesting.

Or if they do want t'write abou' th'losers, it's in th'best worst light jes t'make th'victors look better.

Dashing? I haven't heard myself be described as that for a long time.
