then a thousand continue, and so a hundred".

Lottus is a saiyan of the age of 33.

She originally grew up on the planet of Catullus after her pod crashed in a lake and was taken into a temple known as the temple of the white tiger which was also an orphanage for children who lost their parents in times of war.

Today is the start of Saturnalia, when slaves rule their masters, when nobody works, but all indulge in feasting, drinking and gift-giving, and men wear women’s clothing. Catullus calls it ‘the best of days’, but Pliny tries to escape by spending the day alone in his summerhouse.

Thus "Aphrodisian Anabasis" came to be, with its sci-fi hooker gangs. Some examples below. In the Roman-themed bit, I called the boss Caligula, had characters called Caecilius and Metella, and made the opening line of Catullus 16 a war cry. Classics PhD put to good use there.

“I hate and love. If you ask me to explain
The contradiction,
I can’t, but I can feel it, and the pain
Is crucifixion.“
