Caligula shouted grabbed it and put it in his robe "and you are" "Isaac Newton"

Bob Hale walked in, looking and grinning at every detail of the rather impressive palace. The fear touching his heart at attending a madman's (not that he would say that to Caligula out loud) party made him more excitable, which was really quite a feat, and more likely to ramble, which was near an impossible thing to do, all to try and make sure that people didn't notice he was nervous, because Bobsy was a very confident man, thank you very much.
He pulled out a big box wrapped in kitten-covered paper. (It was the only type he had after giving a gift to a friend's daughter, but he hoped Caligula wouldn't mind...) "Hey, Caligula! I've got your present here. I thought it would be a perfect way for you to try and be less bored. I saw it in the shop and knew it had to be your present. It's just so...you. You'll see what I mean. Unwrap it! Not that I'm telling you what to do. You could burn it if you like, but I'm hoping you won't do that. I'm imagining you'll unwrap it. But do what you want."

"Bob!" Caligula said happily he walked up the weather historican and grabbed the gift out of his hands "it's cats I prefer dogs but thanks" he said then there was a pause "no burning would get rid of the gift but burning does sound fun should try it one day...." he said then unwapred it, Claudius entered the room he saw Bob and Caligula but did not walk up to them Isaac just looked at them.

"It's a Whack-a-Mole game! The moles pop out and you have to use the hammer to hit them. The more you hit, the more points you get. Usually they have these at carnivals, but I found a version that you can play at home. Sorry they couldn't be pop-out gods so that you could finally beat Neptune. Then again, I'm not sure where the gods would be popping out from. The moles make sense because they're coming out of the ground. And people really do kill them, because they dig up molehills into their gardens. Seems like a bad reason to kill something, but then again, you are a Roman emperor..."
Bob looked around to see if there was any food, drink or Christian candles around. Except not Christian candles. Those were obviously Nero's forte, not Caligula's.

"Thanks!" Caligula shouted "don't worry, I can pretend the moles are Poseidon that and Cassius" he said and moved the gift to the table, he made himself a punch walked over to Claudius and dumped it on him and laughed. A head popped out from around the door, entered Batcha Caligula throw the cup away and walked over to him.
"Nice to meet you, Emperor Caligula" he said polity his father did teach him to respect his leaders after all, "I bought you gift" he said and give to him, Caligula unwarped the gift "love it!" he said it was a vase with a design of a lion eating a man around it, he smiled "I made it myself for you"

Bob walked over to the large bowl of punch and gave himself a large glass of it, impressed that not the entirety of the food on offer was as bad as otters' noses, albatross or fish guts. He made himself taller by leaning on his tip-toes to look over Caligula's shoulder at the gift he'd just received.
"Good grief, you made that yourself? Well, now I feel like my present isn't the best thing ever. But mine is modern! I do have that on my side. Until it needs the batteries replaced. You'll have to make visits to the Time Sewers to come and get new batteries, Caligula. Or could make your army CHARGE at it. Because batteries recharge it, you see."
His jokes were always bad when he had to explain them. Entertaining historical people was difficult.

"I can get them I do have a pisto want to see" the Emperor said he put the gift on the table and toke the gun out "see Dick Turpin told me about them" he said "daddy!" a voice cried out Caligula put the gun back in his robe, a little guy with cury brown hair ran out there was an older taller woman watching from the side Caligula caught her in his arms and picked her up "happy birthday again daddy" she said Caligula give a brief thanks "you remember when I said I had a daughter? Here she is Julia Drusilla named after my sister whom I did nothing incety with and if you say so I will have you killed"

Bob shook his head slowly. "Definitely nothing...'incesty'," he said cautiously. He looked at the little girl and waved his hand at her. "Hi there! I'm Bob. Want me to show you a magic trick? Here, look!"
He started moving his hands about weirdly to show something magical was about to happen. With infinite concentration, he brought one hand to her ear, very aware of Caligula watching on, and pulled it away with finesse and showmanship garnered from a lifetime of working on television and in his hand was...nothing. "You don't have any money in your ears!" he cried, looking at his hand with shock. "I've tried this trick before, and I pulled out a pound from this boy's ear... Although now that I think about it, it did turn out that he was stealing from the host at that party... He might have actually had a coin in his ear. That's a shame. I guess my attempts to do magic will never end well." He thought back to the time he tried to disappear in a cloud of smoke on air and failed, shaking his head sadly.

Queen Victoria entered the room. "Good evening! Am I too late or is the party still going on? I hope it is okay that I show up unannounced? My plans fell through so I thought why not go and attend dear Mr. Caligula's party?
She walked over to Caligula. "Happy Birthday again! I hope you received the vase I sent you? Oh, there it is. I'm glad you got it! I see Mr. Hale is here as well. Pleasure to see you, as always. Oh, and Mr. Newton and that lovely young man from the Manor. Good evening, everyone!"

"Glad to see you can come" Caligula said happily his daughter waved "hi Victora" she said Newton came up toke her hand and give it a polite shake "yes nice to meet Queen Victoria" he said, Batcha give the thing you do when meeting a queen avoiding her eyes "is is a pleasure to meet you Queen Victoria" he said Claudius minwhile walked up to her "Q-queen V-victoira i-i is nice to see you y-you again" he stuttered.
A woman came up to her, she was old looking and her brown hair was i a bun, "yes, my husband did talk about you from time to time, my name is Milonia Caesonia Caligula's fourth-and hopefully last wife"

Bob just smiled and waved at her. "Good to see you here! It's nice having one of the most modern of our strange entourage to keep me company. Should I show you the present I got Bootykins? It's from my time, so you might be interested in it."

The girl scamed out of Caligula's arm and walk over to Caligula she give him a confused look "bootykins? That's what you call my daddy? Do you want to be killed?" (sorry Loony, but uh the senates did say she took too much of of her father though it's mostly thought that their made it worse then it seemed for readers can see why their killed her, but persoanlly while it wasn't as bad as it seemed I do think she toke a bit of her father like pushing a child down, so I RP her as a cute kid with a few darker things, so kind of like Wednesday Addams from the t.v series)

Victoria said hello to Caligula's wife and daughter and Claudius, who she was happy to see again. Then she turned to Bob Hale. "Oh yes, Mr. Hale, I would very much like to see what you got Mr.Caligula!"

((Don't worry about apologising for how a character acts. It is an RP, after all. Now I'm imagining the Borgia Family song redone with Caligula's family...))
He looked down at her with raised eyebrows. "Well. Bootykins, that's like our modern equivalent for the name Caligula, since that, as I understand it, means "Little boots". Should I start calling him Gaius from now on? I could do that, but it's so much more serious. That's why I like being called Bobsy. It's a fun name. Fun names help you to be a fun person."
