The baths were in need of some excitement. And for Ethan, that usually meant something mildly destructive but at least not harmful for the average person. Unless they were allergic to Mr. Bubble of something. Gods, that would be terrible! What sort of childhood could exist without the joy of Mr. Bubble. He remembered one time that he had gone along with Jason in their adoptive father’s house and had first learned what faucets turned on full tilt plus an entire jug of Mr. Bubble could do. It was glorious. After all, who didn’t like a deluxe sized bathroom filled to the brim with at least a foot deep of Mr. Bubble dream land. It was like Candy Land, except you probably didn’t want to eat the white fluff. It wasn’t marshmallow. Their adoptive daddy was fairly certain that it was entirely Ethan’s fault, so he’d gotten to clean it up, but he was okay with that. Something about Jason being too innocent for that and needing to work on rehearsing lines anyway for some acting gig. So Ethan got to spend two hours in the bathroom with one of the house helps who he liked to call various names that were not his name, making himself look like Santa Clause or a foamy Superman.
Ah, those were the days. And six in the morning on a seemingly innocent Thursday seemed the perfect time to surprise everyone with a bubble party in the baths. Luckily, Romans liked fancy things. That meant that these baths were top notch. Including, heh, no less than six fountains of Roman people with jars or gods or whatever, pouring water into neat little basins along the walls. Soon to be pouring fluffy foam. He hitched up the family size bottle of Mr. Bubble he’s nabbed from a dollar store on one of his sneak outs and grinned like a potentially insane person.
He traipsed over to the first fountain and looked over the Roman woman pouring water from a big jar and carrying a cornucopia on the other shoulder. Pompona, the engraving titled her. Roman goddess of… um… pouring water out of jars and carrying fruit against her head. Sounded legitimate. And now she would be the goddess of pouring foam out of a jar endlessly and soaking the floor around her little basin with Mr. Bubble goodness. No offense to her, of course. He was sure she had her importance with the water and fruit thing, just she also had the misfortune of being nearest to the door. He set down the Mr. Bubble and with a careful eye, looked for the perfect place to begin his mischief. Ah, right there. The little opening in the basin that sucked the water in to pour it out again. May as well get some agitation in early! Oh, this was going to be so much fun.
