"Okay. First place we should check out would probably be the Colosseum" Kevin said. "Why?" Charlie wondered "Well, I just always wanted to go there. Besides, where else can we look?"

"You do know that there are lions in there right now, right? I can hear them growling from here. Still, we may find the others over there. I am sure that some of them would like to see how it was when it was still brand new." She said and looked at her legs. "Man, I do feel uncomfortable."

"Let's go." They started walking towards the sounds of the lions growling and finally turned round that corner and saw it. It was magnificent. The white marmor and the rounded sculptures and everything..it's was something so beautiful that both of them stopped in their tracks and just..stared. "Wow..that's cool" Kevin muttered. "A-ha.."

"I've got to say it, it looks a lot better than some years later." She said and then smelled the air. "Still, it doesn't smell better. I think that this is the scent of blood." She muttered and rubbed her nose.
It is the Colosseum, an arena of blood and death, the place offering brutal entertainment for those that didn't know how to write or read. It might have looked glorious, but it made her blood freeze in her veins. Cold sweat rolled over her forehead. "Let's go."

After a large amount of confusion and me basicly makeing an ass of my self asking "so where's Ashton Kutcher already I got a test in the morning and need to get home to study a bit" I finaly sobber up and realize quickly that this is not times square and there is an almost new looking world wonder siting infront of me. *I start running towards the colluseum* A place i have only seen in pictures in books. the sight of this amazing place was something straight out of one of my text books... actually *starts to rummage through my book bag pulling a world history book from it and opening to the chapter on the roman empire* "holly hell It is" *I run inside and find my self a seat to watch the awesome fight to come*

*Calling for Kevin and the rest*
"Hey guys, wait up!" *Catches up with the group*
*walking*
"So, I've been thinking about the guy in the trenchcoat. That thing he said: "UTCTSY"" Any ideas what it could mean?"

"I have no idea. Don't walk around like that. Get dressed and hold our stuff too, if you're ok with that." Charlie said and gave him a toga. She fixed the helmet. "It's huge." She said, trying to make her voice a lot deeper than it already was.

Thinking: "That's what she said.."
But the words never left Sam's mouth. Charlie didn't seem like the girl to joke with. He reluctantly takes off his special edition AC/DC t-shirt, and puts on the toga.
"UTCTSY... "Use The Colosseum To Save Yourselves" maybe?"
As he takes off his jeans, he remembers the iPod still in his pocket. He takes it out.
"What stuff did you want me to carry?"

OOC: Wow, lot's of crap happened whilst I was away.
Shoop, who was temporarily sent into a state of nirvana by the Ancient Roman surroundings, had not realized the group had left without him.
"Crap!"
Shoop kicks the ground, in the process uncovering a shining gold plate.
"Wow, what luck!"
Shoop carries it over to one of the many merchants.
"Quid hoc acci aurea?", suddenly speaking flawless Latin.
The merchant's eyes widen.
"Haec copia aliquid, bone!"
Shoop looks around for a short while, then chooses a stylish Ancient Roman outfit, a jewel encrusted toga, a crown, 3 gold and silver necklaces, and 2 diamond rings.
Shoop rushes over to join the rest of the group.
OOC: Don't worry guys, the gold plate didn't have anything written on it.

When she heard Sam's words, her head turned slowly to his direction, showing way more attention to him. "Use The Colosseum To Save Yourself? How come and we didn't think about that before?" She said before giving him the toga she was wearing, having turned it into a bag that held her clothes as well as Kevin's. "That's what I want you to hold. It's pretty light." She said and then looked at Shoop, as he was standing close to them. "Uhm, guys, what is that Roman doing over here?" She asked. "Hey, I am Shoop, a member of the forum, like you." He said. "Where did you get those clothes anyway?" She asked again.

"Wow, you have a messed up stomach sir. How was the match in there? Who won? Juventus or Milan?" She asked before checking her sword. "I think it's time for us to go in." She said.

"I understood that Shoop. Well, I'll go ins..." She went to say but then some guards from the Colosseum walked to them and started talking to her. She turned to the others discreetly. "What the hell are they saying?" She asked and tried to use her knowledge in Italian to understand. "Ok, you may go rest, I'll go guard the lions." She said, nodding her head after every word. They nodded their head and left. "Wait, what?" She asked startled.

Charlie kneeled and put all of the clothes in the bag before giving the spare toga to Jim. "You can have it." She said and sighed before swallowing hard. "Kevin, stay with them. You're armed, so you won't have a problem protecting them. Duty calls me." She said and started walking towards the large monument.

Sam puts his clothes into the book-bag, but does not trust Jim with his iPod or watch. He notices Charlie.
"What do you mean "Duty calls you"? Charlie?"
He catches up with her.
"The last thing we should do right now is splitting up! We need to stay together!"

"The soldiers told me to go guard the lions. I can't take you in there and I cannot escape this task. If I do any of the above, they will suspect us. You should get in the Colosseum and try to decipher the clue the guy gave us. I'll be thinking about it too. If a lion tries to eat me, you'll be the first to know, but for now, you have to stick together and I have to go in there." She said and pointed at the door. "I'll be back." She said with a smirk.

Sam hesitated for a moment.
"Fine. But don't do anything that you'll regret. We'll stay within earshot of the lion pen in case you need us.*
He starts walkin back to the group, while thinking about the trenchcoat's clue.
*Thinking*:
UTCTSY.. Could be Use the Colosseum to Save Yourselves... Doesn't sound right..
Use The.. Under the?
Under the... Colosseum, The s.. No....

She looked at the sword. She had to leave the gun inside Jim's bag, so she'd have to learn how to fight with a melee weapon. She opened the door and looked at the guy with the whip. She made him a signal that she arrived and got on her post, without talking much. Her eyes were surveying the area, when she noticed the lions. They were growling, licking themselves at times. She could notice that their diet didn't include steak, their bones were almost visible. They were hungry and she knew that just a mistake would be enough to make her... Their meal. She swallowed hard and her hand was holding the handle of the sword. The handler looked at her. "Μη φοβήσαι τους λέοντες. Οσμίζονται τον φόβο σου. (Don't fear the lions, they can smell it)" He said, speaking in Greek. She looked at him startled, having understood part of his words. "Uhm, I am trying to not show fear, but I cannot help feeling a bit frightened." She muttered and smirked. He smiled as well and turned his attention to the lions again.
