[Pontifex Maximus]

Publius Cornelius Sulla arrives, requesting a meeting with Gaius

[Okmin]

Sulla is shown to the courtyard, where Gaius is sitting at a desk, going over his correspondence. He stands to greet the senator.

"Welcome, Cornelius. It is a pleasure to have you in my home."

[Pontifex Maximus]

Sulla took the man's arm. "Thanks for your hospitality, and ah, what a lovely home. I've come to discuss some business with you."

[The Mad Skylord]

Gnaeus Julius Iulus arrives to the Domus Marii Aquilae, seeking the Paterfamilias.

[Okmin]

Sulla took the man's arm. "Thanks for your hospitality, and ah, what a lovely home. I've come to discuss some business with you."

"What kind of business did you have in mind? The elections, I expect?"

Gnaeus Julius Iulus arrives to the Domus Marii Aquilae, seeking the Paterfamilias.

(OOC: Assuming this is after Sulla leaves?)

Gnaeus is shown to Aquila's study.

"Salve Julius, to what do I owe the honor of your visit?"

[The Mad Skylord]

Ooc: Only fair, I suppose.

"Ave, Aquila. It is a pleasure to be in your Domus. As always, it is a well decorated and striking home. Truly a tribute to your wife's tastes."

Gnaeus coughed lightly and then continued. "Unfortunately it is politics that draws me here. I am standing for Consul, I hope there is something I can aid you with, to secure your vote?"

[Pontifex Maximus]

"As I'm sure you're aware, I am standing for the consulship." he said flatly. "If I am elected, I plan to propose measures for continuing the wars in Iberia. If something comes of them, that is just as well. I look to win a few victories and then withdraw under terms of a new peace, perhaps extracting some tribute. I have watched the ascension of your family with some interest, and I believe we may be of mutual aid to one another. In return for your family's support for the Consulship I am prepared to name you my Legatus and have you serve as a field commander in one of the legions. You will be entitled to a share of all spoils from the campaign as well as my patronage for further advancement in the years to come." Sulla quieted and let Marius consider the proposal.

Gnaeus coughed lightly and then continued. "Unfortunately it is politics that draws me here. I am standing for Consul, I hope there is something I can aid you with, to secure your vote?"

OOC: Due to the (unexpected) direction of the conversation with Sulla, I'll get back to you after that's actually done.

"As I'm sure you're aware, I am standing for the consulship." he said flatly. "If I am elected, I plan to propose measures for continuing the wars in Iberia. If something comes of them, that is just as well. I look to win a few victories and then withdraw under terms of a new peace, perhaps extracting some tribute.

You will be entitled to a share of all spoils from the campaign as well as my patronage for further advancement in the years to come." Sulla quieted and let Marius consider the proposal.

Gaius sat quietly for a moment. His last military excursion had been nearly a decade ago, he had hardly started on the cursus, and here was an offer of a position he was more inclined to associate with an ex-praetor. Sulla's proposal was either extremely generous or extremely suspicious. Probably both. Carefully, he gave his reply.
"Your words honor me, senator. I accept your proposal, though I have already made plans to run for quaestor this year. I don't doubt that your patronage would be a great boon as I make my start in the senate."

[Pontifex Maximus]

Publius smiled. "If you are elected quaestor, I shall offer you the choice to serve your term in the city or in the legions, whatever is your preference. You shall also have my vote for the quaestorship, of course." Sulla rose, satisfied with the course of the events for the evening. "Until we meet next, Aquila."

[Okmin]

Ooc: Only fair, I suppose.

"Ave, Aquila. It is a pleasure to be in your Domus. As always, it is a well decorated and striking home. Truly a tribute to your wife's tastes."

Gnaeus coughed lightly and then continued. "Unfortunately it is politics that draws me here. I am standing for Consul, I hope there is something I can aid you with, to secure your vote?"

Gaius considered his options, his meeting with Sulla fresh in his mind. "I will be running for quaestor this year, and I would appreciate your support. I understand there is quite some competition for both of our desire positions?"

Publius smiled. "If you are elected quaestor, I shall offer you the choice to serve your term in the city or in the legions, whatever is your preference. You shall also have my vote for the quaestorship, of course." Sulla rose, satisfied with the course of the events for the evening. "Until we meet next, Aquila."

Aquila rose to show Sulla out. "My thanks, Sulla. I hope this is the first of many predictive meetings."

[The Mad Skylord]

"I cannot support you for Quaestor, but I can support you for Aedile - and I could convince my son to withdraw his nomination for the Aedileship. Stand as Aedile and support my Consulship. Having done that, I will name you Legatus and I will support the first motion you place before the Senate. In addition, I will put forth a motion to put grants for Urban development in place - something that will undoubtedly benefit you."

[Okmin]

"Your proposal is generous, Julius, and very interesting. I take it you have plans for war, since you mention the position of legatus?"

[The Mad Skylord]

"I have plans to put the Italians in their place, and then for the expansion of Rome. Perhaps towards the rich lands of the East, the fertile lands of the Nile especially, or even into the lands of Gaul and the other barbarians."

[Lord William]

Marcus arrives seeking an audience with the senator

[Okmin]

"I have plans to put the Italians in their place, and then for the expansion of Rome. Perhaps towards the rich lands of the East, the fertile lands of the Nile especially, or even into the lands of Gaul and the other barbarians."

"Most interesting, and bold, plans, though I would advise against breaching our treaties with Egypt." Aquila sat quietly before continuing. "I must be honest, Julius. I have already made promises regarding the consulship. However, I could support your son's bid for aedile."

Marcus arrives seeking an audience with the senator

He is brought to meet with Aquila. "Salve senator, what brings you to my domus?"

[The Mad Skylord]

"Most interesting, and bold, plans, though I would advise against breaching our treaties with Egypt." Aquila sat quietly before continuing. "I must be honest, Julius. I have already made promises regarding the consulship. However, I could support your son's bid for aedile."

He is brought to meet with Aquila. "Salve senator, what brings you to my domus?"

"Agreed. He shall no doubt count upon your support."

[Okmin]

Salve, I been away from the political scene for a few years now and I'm interested in getting to know the senators I'll soon be working with.

"Well, since my father died last year, I am now pater familias, so I have begun seeking support for election as quaestor."

"Agreed. He shall no doubt count upon your support."

"And I on yours. Thank you, Julius."
