Marcus Brutus was an honorable man.

Before or after he helped kill Caesar?

ooc awesome clip - I love his talks with Cicero too. :D

[egypt-dies.livejournal.com]

I didn't pay much attention to him before, but the way he handled Caesar's death was cowardly. Still, I can appreciate that he thought he was doing the right thing.

It was probably what kept him from trying to kill me, after all.

((Isn't it? The line about the Lichter's Guild always kills me. XD))

[a-roman-w-power.livejournal.com]

In retrospect, I suppose I can say the same. Also, at the time, I did not know the whole story and even then, my station in life prevented any opinions from flying out of my mouth.

Good point.

ooc - (:D And Antony pissing in the plant pot was priceless!!))

[egypt-dies.livejournal.com]

Arrange a small mob with knives to jump one aging unarmed man? I don't think there's much to question.

They under estimated me, like so many others. It was ... the one who didn't that brought me down in the end.

((I know right. The reaction shot when Cicero gets an eyeful of Antony's unit is priceless. That whole cast was great. Just ... all the characters were riveting. I miss the show.))

[a-roman-w-power.livejournal.com]

Yet another good point.

Yes, Octavian did rather have your number summed up quite nicely.

[egypt-dies.livejournal.com]

I have them sometimes.

He did. The boy was very cunning. Beat me at my own game while I was holding most of the cards, as it were.

(ooc in place of previous comment. I blame lack of sleep - I realize it was Octavian who took the liberty of having persons deal with Cicero. *headdesks*)

[egypt-dies.livejournal.com]

((*patpat* Rome is a very politically heavy drama with many characters and that makes it very difficult to keep who did what straight. Also, because I try to research Antony and keep him as historically accurate as possible I have to juggle\remember what lines up between history and the show and what doesn't. And? The shows been off the air for what 2-3 years now? I'm sure people will end up catching me goof something too. All that was the longwinded version of its all good. XD ))

That would be before, darling. After, his mother re-tied his umbilical cord to his balls and it cut off circulation to his brain.

[a-roman-w-power.livejournal.com]

That would be one way of putting it, Domina.

[liviaofrome.livejournal.com]

*snorts* Marcus Brutus was an idiot.

[egypt-dies.livejournal.com]

Not a fool so much as naive. He romanticized the deed of killing Caesar. Thought it was the right thing to do and that it would solve all the problems he saw developing.

[liviaofrome.livejournal.com]

He betrayed Caesar. I should have run him through myself.

[egypt-dies.livejournal.com]

He did. It was a cowardly act, but then again, he was a politician not a soldier. You couldn't have expected him to challenge Caesar openly.

[liviaofrome.livejournal.com]

A real man would have.

But no, I didn't expect it, because he wouldn't. He knew he would never win.

[egypt-dies.livejournal.com]

*he nods in agreement* A real man would have.

[liviaofrome.livejournal.com]

Just like a real man would openly challenge Brutus.

Or should I say real woman. *looks rather dangerous*

[egypt-dies.livejournal.com]

No. That wouldn't do.

[soldier-goddess.livejournal.com]

Well spoken, soldier of Rome.

[egypt-dies.livejournal.com]

Oration was a family strength. Have we met before?

[soldier-goddess.livejournal.com]

Marc Antony, you and I have not met in the flesh, but you have sought me, and I have been in the battle with you.

I am Fortuna. Goddess of many, including soldiers.

[egypt-dies.livejournal.com]

Honored to meet such a lovely being who has been so kind to me over the years.

[soldier-goddess.livejournal.com]

Yes. I have. Even on a few occasions you were not worthy of it. *amused*

Tell me, Marcus Antonius, what will you do, now?

[egypt-dies.livejournal.com]

It's funny you should ask that because I've been pondering the same thing myself. I don't suppose you have any divine advice for your devoted servant?

[soldier-goddess.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid that my advice might be slanted. You see, Atia and I have an arrangement. I would offer you the same, but that might not be what you want.
