“Well obviously she’s not spreading them enough. When’s the last time you heard of a demigod descendant of Cardea anyways? Maybe she’s too concerned with making sure doors open right to worry about fucking everything that moves like ol’ papa Juitor.” Jen chuckled a little before a stab of pain caused her to wince a little and her laughed died off in a little moan of pain. “Yeah I’m talking about you ya codgerly old bastard. Now leave my head alone.” It hurt to laugh but at least she was getting her vulgar sense of humor back a little.

“Noon? Gods that must have been some party last night.” Jen wished she could remember how it ended but at least she had a good time. Next time though she was making sure that she had a boy to go home with. At least that way she could wake up in a comfy bed...at least she hoped she would have enough sense to make it to a bed. “I’d gotten up eventually. I’m hung over not dead even if I look it. Besides, there’s always the chance some hot Roman boy would have come across me and taken me back to his place to take care of me.” Jen shrugged a little. “I am a daughter of Fortuna after all.”

Jen was bored out of her mind. You would think that in a place like New Rome there would be no shortage of things to do but oh no it had to be a place that was so focused on order and discipline and glory and honor. Gods she had to sneak out of the barracks sometimes or she was worried her head would explode from the sheer amount of bull shit they kept trying to shovel into it on a daily basis. 'I would gladly kiss Pluto's icy blue ass cheeks,' She thought in her desperation. 'if I could meet just one person who actual thought the way I do about all this.'

It wasn't going to happen of course. Not here in Stickupmytogaville, USA. So Jen did what she normally did when she was feeling fed up with the legion and skipped training today. Oh sure she'd probably never hear the end of it when she got back but surely she could find some way to pass the time even if it was going skinny dipping in the aqueducts for kicks and giggles. That was a last resort but at this point she was getting pretty desperate.

Jen had almost lost all hope. It truly was a horrible day when the daughter of Fortuna wasn't lucky enough to find something to do with her day off but then it happened. She spotted someone else who had sought out the seclusion of the aqueducts for the day and this one certainly looked like she was having a good time. Was that booze she spied as she approached? Jen thought it was and that meant that her luck might have just turned around. "Blood and fire." She said as she walked up. "Which god does a girl have to fuck to have a good time around here?"

"The legion survived because it knew when to go underground." Jen said with a laugh. "Now there's a tactic they don't teach you about in drill, sometimes it's better to turn tail and run. Live to fight another day." A well-oiled machine the legion might be but fighting smarter as well as deadlier was the real ticket. She wasn't going to just throw her life away fighting an unwinnable battle like some Romans seemed to be content to do. "Knowing your allies though, that's something I can get behind but you don't get that that in a training exercise though. That comes through battle and seeing for yourself the person beside you doesn't swing their sword like a complete ass wipe. I get what you're saying though.”

Jen hadn't expected to get into a deep philosophical conversation on the strategies of the Twelfth Legion today but she found that she didn't really mind. The guy was passionate and that said something good about him. Granted Jen was passionate about living life to the fullest and that also said something her so take that for what it was worth. "Listen we could stand here arguing about tactics all day but at the end of the day I'm just as loyal to the legion as you are. I just don't buy into that morbid sense of honor most seem to have. There are more than enough monsters out there and I do my part to offer up a fitting sacrifice to Mars just like anyone else. If the bloody old bastard doesn't like how I'm doing it he's welcome to come tell me but so far I think he's been pretty pleased. As for me I think I earn myself the right to have some fun every once in a while. No one lives forever after all and we might as well live it up while we're still here." She paused for a moment and looked Link over before continuing. "Besides, surely you're not all Mr. Glory and Honor and Let the Eagle Fly all the time are you?"

Jen followed Chey's gaze to the front of the party and found the reason for her concern in the form of Praetor Finley. "All the lively ones out tonight.” She said more to herself than any of the other girls present but she could understand Chey's concern. Party poopers were a major drag and personally Jen didn't have time for any of them tonight. If they needed to play hide the Praetor to keep the party going then Jen would do what needed to be done.

Jen laughed at the girls' offered idea of a mission. Now here was some glory and honor that she could get behind. "A soldier's work is never done!" She said as she grabbed another cup from a distracted party goer. "Stick with us oh brave commander of cohorts and we will have you enjoying yourself before too long. Come ladies. I see some lonely Romans in need of company." Grinning and taking a sip of her new drink she made her way forward into the crowd heading towards a group of boys that seemed to be in need of four beautiful companions.

Jen waited patiently for the girl to kneel down close enough so that she could help herself up and with some effort and help from Kaylee she was finally able to get to her feet. Her legs felt wobbly under her at first and she didn’t know if they would be able to support her even with Kaylee’s help but after standing for a few moments and taking a few breaths to steady herself she was feeling at least marginally like a human being again. Still, that didn’t stop Kaylee from being her cheerful, super happy self.

“Sweet gods of Olympus girl.” Jen said indignantly as Kaylee smiled her smile at her. The daughter of Fortuna groaned and shut her eyes as she turned away from the girl. “What do you do, brush with Jupitor’s lightning bolts or some shit like that? You could blind someone with those pearly whites.”[/b] Jen blinked a few times as she considered the girl’s next question. She still didn’t want to go to the sick bay but she was stuck now. Oh well, maybe she would get lucky and would meet a child of Bacchus along the way. A little hair of the dog that bit her would probably set her closer to right than anything else but she was sure that was asking too much. “Alright come on. We better get going. Besides, I’m sure that you have to get back to picking daisies or holding hands with bunny rabbits or something.” With that Jen hoped she remembered how to walk and took one wobbly step forward.

'Pluto's icy cold cock, why did I have to get so drunk?' Jen lamented as she sat dizzy and groaning on the ground. This was all pretty normal stuff. She could make it to the infirmary and finally get away from the little sun drop she just needed to sit for a minute and take things slower the next time she tried. It wasn't that she couldn't walk just that walking was hard and Jen wasn't really in the mood to put in that much effort.

Kaylee apparently had other ideas though and before Jen knew it the other girl was moving around to help her out. "I'm fine...really." Jen protested but she wasn't fine, not really, and very likely she would stumble back to the barracks to wear out the effects of the previous night's party as soon as she was out of sight if Kaylee let her.

Realizing though that she probably wasn't doing a very good job at convincing the other girl Jen groaned internally. She was stuck whether she wanted to be or not and it looked like she was just going to have to deal with this Kaylee annoyance until the girl was satisfied. "You're really not going to let this go are you?"
