Sailing Away

Hello. As you know, I am Tranio. I have just possibly had the worst two days of my life. I may have escaped from Pompeii, but my family was one one of the boats that was sunk when the rocks came raining down from the sky:-( I'm now an official orphan. The good news is that the eruption has stopped kinda... I miss my house, but at least I was able to salvage some stuff from my friend's houses, and at least I'm alive!

At the Harbor!

Ok, I'm at the harbor with about 7 of my friends. People have told me that my family is already on one of the evacuee ships, so I'm not worried. So here we are, waiting in line. There about 50 ships that are sailing, and some hopefully coming back, for basically the whole population of Pompeii. Not good. We're pretty far up the line so we have a pretty good chance of getting out of this doomed city. I'll definitely miss it, but I'll miss my life more. Oh, one sec, my friend Celer wants to say hi. What's up, guys! I'm celer! Nice to meetcha! Ok, see y'all later! BYEBYE!. OK, thank you for that little interlude, Celer. Hey, move up! HA! We're almost at the ships! Wait, this doesn't look right. Ther should be more ships! Oh dear... It seems like some of the ships got hit by rocks. That's a double not good. It still looks like we'll be on one, though. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! Mt. Vesuvius's pyroclastic flow is hitting Pompeii! It's gonna kill us all! Hey, get on the ship! Aaaaaaahhh! SMASH!!!!! CRASH!!!!!!!!! BOOMBOOMBOOM!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! The pier is gone! Thank god we're on the ship! Hey! We're on the ship! Yahoo!!!!!!!! WE'RE FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll check in later! See ya!!

OMG! NO TIME!

Alright, here I am looking for my friends. A lot of them work in rich people's houses, so that's where I started looking. Lo and Behold, I found like 10 of them. The good news is that most of them decided to come. The bad news is that only MOST of them decided to come. This sucks. If my friends die, and I get out of here, then I'm gonna blow up a pocky warehouse. Alright, so I'm going into this rich dude's house, and there's my friend, Bobius! He'd know what to do, cause he knows everything! In Zeus's name! He's dead!. Oh well. I'm gonna go get the friends who want to LIVE, and not DIE, over a freakin' stick of POCKY, and get the heck out of this hellhole. I just hope I can make it out! Stupid freakin' pocky...

Packing Up

Alright, I've just finished packing up! I also managed to convince some friends to come with me and escape before we all die a horrible death. They say that the eruption won't hit us until tommorow, and the ships are not sailing till tommorow, when the eruption should finally reach us. I've heard small stones hit my roof a couple times now, so it's a little unnerving to go to sleep, but I need my sleep. tommorow, I go look around for my friends, thell them of the Olympic Pocky War, and then get the heck out of here! Alright, I'm going to sleep now, but tommorow I'll be up bright and early, hopefully not for the last time in my life!

The Beginning

Hello, my name is Tranio Iulius. I am a simple citizen of Pompeii. I have a nice job working at the baths, but life wasn't the best. One day I was just walking home, when I heard a strange rumbling sound. I looked around for the source, and saw people screaming about an eruption. It turns out that Mt. Vesuvius is about to erupt maybe. I went to a priest and asked him why. "In Mt. Olympus, Zeus and Hephestus have had a fight. It seems that Zeus ate the last stick of the super limited-edition coconut pocky, and this is Hephestasus's revenge! He is going to destroy Zeus's people!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" That's stupid. Pocky? I do love pocky though. But blowing up a mountain and killing us all? Thats too far! Wait, what am I going to do? I guess I should go pack. Then, a rumbling sound split the air! Mount VESUVIUS IS ERUPTING!!! I'm gonna die for a thing OF POCKY???????!!!!!!! Ok, I have to get out of here! I gotta go pack my stuff, and find my friends!
