Imperium I [Video]

[callmecaesar]

 What insult to the republic, its consul kidnapped by foreign gods. Surely blessed Venus would be displeased to find her own lineage so unceremoniously disrupted and disrespected. [A pause as jade eyes, cold as glass and sharp in their disdain, regard his surroundings in displeasure] Barbarity. 

No true Roman would bow to a god from beyond the Rhine, and nor shall I. [He moves to stand] But if I am expected to remain here, as it seems is the intention of these ...gods... then I should like to know if there is a library. A library or a forum should suffice, so long as lectures are held or scrolls are to be found. 

[If he can not begin his machinations for Brutus and Cassius, at least he can bide his time with arming his mind to the task. 

He then gives pause, straightening with pale brow furrowed, as if a thought has suddenly alighted upon his shoulder and distracted him momentarily from his great task of empire.]

Ah. I suppose it would be best I introduced myself...I am Gaius Octavian Caesar. Consul of Rome.

They seem overly interested in bringing those from high stations.

[Because clearly, this man is noble.]

For gods with no care for common decency they've an appetite for the fruits highest on the tree with little mind to the consequences.

You will find no disagreement here, Lord Caesar.

[Octavian gives pause at that. The title. Caesar...how recently he'd chided Pullo...

They call me Caesar now

But being put after 'lord' puts a new perspective on the matter. A foreign title in a foreign place.]

...Octavian is sufficient. [Though he is hesitant after so much time and blood spent in the chase for the respect of "Caesar" to simple rest back on his boyhood name, naked of its achievements] Lord and Caesar are titles I assume no longer hold meaning in this place.

Ah, forgive me. I thought Caesar was your house.

[So many complications.]

For example, I am Ser Loras, of the House Tyrell.

[Loras would prefer to be called 'Ser' along with his name, but if this man is looking to be casual, then he will be flexible.]

But you may call me Loras, then, Octavian.

I am sure the gods of Other Asgard would allow you to keep on paying your respects to the Roman pantheon of gods, Julius Ceasar. You are Julius Ceasar, right? He also hails from Rome, you see?

[He knows that because movies told him so. Loki likes movies.]

Though, Gaius does not entirely sound like Julius. Hmn, perhaps we have a quite a puzzle on our hands.

Re: [video]

[callmecaesar]

Gaius Julius Caesar was my father.

I am Gaius Octavian Caesar.

[video]

[not_a_troll]

Aye! The Ceasar gave you away, you see?

[Loki is actually very excited about all of this.]

But Not Julius Ceasar, I remember that you wanted to know if there is a library.

[He pauses a long time...]

Well, it is your lucky day! There is a library! And it is full of thick tomes containing important information and witty stories.

Am I correct to assume you are bursting with excitement right now?

Re: [video]

[callmecaesar]

Perhaps bursting is not the correct word...but I am relieved to hear there is a library.

[If she wanted to be a terrible troll she would have dressed up in her Cleopatra garb, but that seemed a terrible trick to play on a new arrival]

Hail Caesar.

Re: video;

[callmecaesar]

That is not necessary.

[Though if you were in Rome he would not have protested]

[hullo_sweetie]

Oh, but it is. I merely refer to the respect honored to you.

[Romans were pretty rare here. She was simply trying to keep him as comfortable as possible]

Did you find your sleeping quarters, sir?

Re: video;

[callmecaesar]

Do you mean in this Odin House?

[A nod]

Yes...I have been shown.

[Though she has never heard of Rome, it is quite obvious to her this is a man of great power.]

These gods care little for titles or rank so it seems. There are kings and queens here who have been taken from their world.

[She omits the fact the she is one of them for now, not yet sure how bandying about her station will affect her.]

Re: video

[callmecaesar]

The sheer level of disrespect shown by these gods is appalling.

video

[grownstrong]

That much is apparent. Have you ever heard of the gods they speak of here? I'm not sure they are true gods at all.

Re: video

[callmecaesar]

I have heard tell of an Asgard in tales of lands beyond my own, though I cannot be certain these are the same. Still, they are not my gods.

[comeonthensexy]

A Roman! I love Romans! Hello! Gaius Octavian Caesar, you say? Brilliant.

Re: [Video]

[callmecaesar]

You love Romans? That is an interesting thing to say...

[Given you don't look like any Roman]

But yes. I am Gaius Octavian Caesar.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Pleasure to meet you! It's interesting? How?

Re: [Video]

[callmecaesar]

An honor, Sir.

It is of interest, as you do not appear to be a Roman yourself, yet you claim to love us. Why, might I ask?

[Did someone say "Roman"? You know who pipes up? A Celt.]

[gwenhwyfar]

And what can a Roman like you possibly do? Don't you have lands to plague?

Re: video;

[callmecaesar]

Spare me. I've not the time for such petty quarrels.

[gwenhwyfar]

Why should I? After what your people have done to mine?
