"Salve fellow cousins of the Gracchi family. We live in dark ages under the dictatorship of a Gallic king. It is time to forget the past, leave our hatred of the other families behind us, and start working together to recreate the Roman Republic we once had. The days of fear are over, the days of peace and victory will come soon.
It won't be long till the Gracchi family, together with all the other families are called upon to start the revolt. The only thing I would like to ask is start getting the loyalty of the troops. We cannot fight alone, we have to fight together and make a strong pact."
Antonius takes a seat and grabs a bottle of whine that was bottled in one of the Gracchi vineyards.

Indeed Antonius. It has been a long time before I have seen my family here in Rome. With my fathers sword "Luna" and my celtic grandfathers warhammer "Odinus" we will surely destroy Baleric. May the Gracchi family once again rise into it's former glory.
Maximus then takes off the Golden Masked Helmet given to him by his Mother. He sits besides Antonius and begins a conversation talking of the many accomplishments of their pasts.
(OCC: Think of the Golden mask as the one worn by the King of Jerusalem who had lepresy in the movie about the crusades a while back.)

"Dear cousin, you use a celtic weapon? Where is your true Roman spirit. We do not need foreign material to win a war."
Antonius grabs his sword and shows it to Maximus. "This is a true Roman sword, served many masters and Legati. With this sword we shall retake Rome and return it to its former glory."
He lays down the sword on the table and takes another glass of wine.

"Cousin surely you can see that this sword" Withdraws Luna, "Is a Roman Blade at the best . I only use Odinius because of my Brittanish Heritage. As you know my father and your uncle Tiberus participated in the wars of the North. He met my mother there. The Brittanish are Romans at heart though they may not be by blood."
Maximus smiles and takes a liking to the sword Antonius placed on the table. Even though it was a little unbalances on the hilt.

Julius rises from the back. "Salve, it is good to see my kindred again. But should not begin to select an Accountant to run our family's possesions?"

Stepping down into the atrium from his chambers, Mercurius eyes the weaponry arrayed on the table and smirks to himself. A slave quickly brings him a glass of water, and he thanks her before taking his seat next to the impluvium. Nodding at his cousins and their weapons, he asks curiously. "Steely business, cousins. Perhaps what we truly need here is a statue to Vulcan. My father, Gracchus Tiberius, was a pontifex to the Smith, and we do have a forge in the back. But how, pray tell," standing up and stepping to the massive warhammer, "Is this to be used while fighting in the legionary formation?"

Maximus smiles at Juliui's entry and speaks. "Hello cousin, certainly we can get someone to be the families accountant. It's whoever stands up first. I would love to be the accountant but I may be away as a Centurion."

OOC: Just to make sure Maximus, in TRE2 and TRE3 we conquered Carthage, Macedonia and Hispania, not Brittania or the Galls IC: Antonius greets Julius and replies: " Indeed I think it would be the right time to choose an accountant for our wealth. I would like to nominate myself for the task."

OOC: lol Indeed ... as far as I know we've never even seen Britannia.
As another OOC note, as the oldest remaining member of the original Gracchi from TRE II, I'd like to welcome you all to the family. We should get down to business and elect our family positions, because I'm very surprised to see this many joining our humble Gens. 8) The Gracchi have always small, but very intelligent and cunning. Our previous members include a Legate, a Pontifex Maximus, and my previous two incarnations as Commander of all the Fleets of Rome. So welcome to this proud family, and remember our motto: Scientia Potestas Est -- Knowledge Is Power. We think things out before we do them, and we're dedicated Republican loyalists -- we support the Senate and the People first and foremost.
Again, welcome all to the proud Gens Gracchia 8)
Tui Fidelis Servus, Gracchus Mercurius Tertius
