CYOHA: You’re a fetching young Roman out on the pull in Pompeii

r/

It’s a gorgeous, sunny day in a long line of gorgeous, sunny days and you wake up feeling like maybe today is the day you find the love of your life. You don’t know why – you don’t know how – but you’ve got a good feeling about it. Your mother has been hinting about finding you a spouse for a while now, and so far you’ve managed to put her off, but there’s something in the air today. It’s like you can feel Cupid fletching his arrows just for you. 

Do you:

A) Head to the Stabian Baths to chat with your friends and see if any of them have anyone they can set you up with

B) Go to the Macellum by the Eastern gates of the city to run errands for your mother

C) Try to chat up an off-duty gladiator at one of the tabernae near the Amphitheatre

    C. I dream of oily gladiatorial glutes.
