Three days in...

After three days into the experiment, I have officially begun to resemble my blonde, beer swilling barbarian roots. No shaving, wearing crappy clothes and drinking too much homebrew for my own good, and I've started to get that urge to pillage Rome. If I'm not careful, by Sunday I'll be wearing chain-mail and pillaging everything I see...

What exactly is this experiment? Does it involve time travel?

I too am begining to look like my ancient counterparts, the gallic Porcus tribe, mercenaries aligned with the Roman military. And like my ancestors, I too, will gain power via politics. -nods- yep.

I may have a proposal for you then. It involves a longboat, mead, and small coastal villages on the Great Lakes. However, we need to find fifty good huskarls....

I could raise a number of my clansmen...for a price, and aid you from the south.;)

Best to cut the experiment off now. If not, you might end up goose stepping to Moscow bearing the Iron Cross.

Neat. I'd like to get back to my roots, but that means I'd have to buy a spear, armor, and a ticket to Rome to defend it against you. Considering I'm going to Florida next week it's not in the budget.

I'd love to go back to my roots, but there's no good longboats around here.

You picked a good time for it. I think the weather has broken--it's been out of the 90s all week. How far south are you coming?

Around Tampa. Got friends there and I'm planning to go with them to Universal. I'm told they do a big Halloween thing.

Yeah. It ought to be beautiful weather then. 70s and 80s all the time.

Seventies...that sounds so nice...I wonder if I can legitimately substitute Tampa or Fort Lauderdale for Rome?

Okay, it's only in the 70s at night, and then only barely, but it'll cool down more in the coming month or two. But that's heaven to me.

Well, Florida and Italy are both peninsulas. Ohio is north of Florida and Germany is north of Italy, so why not? I think it makes perfect sense.
