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.

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.

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.

[Well, that was surprising. She felt slightly stupid for a second before she remembered the people here were from different worlds, as hard as she found that to believe.]

Nor are they mine. As such, I do not see the point in fighting for them at all. This story they tell us of our worlds being in danger could be nothing but a story.

It would be a sensible move on their part to instill a sense of obligation in their captives.

True enough. It seems to me that most here believe the tales these gods spin without much question. Do you believe they speak the truth about our own worlds?

I am not usually one who puts faith in my captors, no.

Well then I am glad to have met someone with some sense. [She gives a slight bow of her head and a smile.] Margaery Tyrell. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
