IC-Ep 1-Plans and Schemes(Everyone)
Theater of Pompey - Rome, Italia
Early afternoon- March 14, 44 BC
Story, his companions, Caelia, and their other friends arrived at the Theater of Pompey just as the performance was ending. The Senatorial section had the best seats in the house. Caesar himself and his entourage had the best of the best seats, and numerous other senators were also in attendance. Germanicus was easily recognizable, especially as his hideous hunchbacked servant Claudius was not far from his side. Another senator, a man in his forties but still with a youthful vigor, sat with him, Two other men that they saw this morning in the Forum were also approaching Germanicus. One was the gladiator Aricus Callidus Gladio, and the other the cavalryman Decius Lupus. He and Spurius Papirius Valens knew each other already as fellow cavalrymen.

Re: IC-Ep 1-Plans and Schemes(Everyone)
Artemis followed along with the group that had left the Palace of the Queen and he continued to replay the conversation in the palace over and over in his mind. Who would want to kill Caesar? He kept asking himself. At times he tried to catch parts of the conversation, but the hum of the city, and the large amount of people was a distraction he was no longer use to.

Germanicus rises and applauds appropriately. He gathers his toga and nods at Scaevola.
"Until tomorrow, Publius Servilius Scaevola, I hope the morrow's entertainment is at least as well-performed as this one."
Germanicus makes to leave the Theater and says to his servant in a hushed voice so Scaevola can't hear:
"Give what's left of our food and wine to those men you hired, Claudius, I have a feeling they shall need to be fortified for what is to come."

"He said we were all cooked but we were all right as long as we did not know it. We were all cooked. The thing was not to recognize it."
Re: IC-Ep 1-Plans and Schemes(Everyone)
"I think a couple of us could approach Claudius and ask if we could speak to him while others speak to the Senator and his colleagues," Artemis said to Caelis and Spurius. He started to move towards the Senator, his community's hopeful patron, and his servant.
Re: IC-Ep 1-Plans and Schemes(Everyone)
Claudius dutifully bowed.
"Yes, Marth'ter. Your wish is my command, Marth'ter" he bowed deeply, so as to hide his face more.
Without an audible grumble, and with many a curse in his head, he departed, holding coin for purchase of wine, bread, and meats. He had no love of mercenaries, but then, he had no love for man, beast, or God, bar, perhaps, his master.

Artemis proceeded to intercept the Senator's servant as he departed from the Senator's box at the Theater.
"Ave, Claudius, a moment of your time if I may impose such a burden to have you speak with my colleagues and I, for just a mere moment," Artemis spoke with a smile towards the moving servant and gestured back at Caelis and Spurius.

Caelia comes forward, modestly. It looks like the hooded man is about to run and she doesn't want to scare him off. "Hello Claudius." She says simply.
Re: IC-Ep 1-Plans and Schemes(Everyone)
Cladius mumbled something under his breath. He risked a quick glance at the two, before staring stoically at their feet. You could tell quite a bit from a persons feet, he had discovered. Then again, he had a lot of practice.
"I fear I cannot delay, my marth'ter has sent me on errand to procure wine and meats" he explained, spluttering his words. A few splashed of spit ended up perilously close to said feet.
Despite his statement, he did not proceed further, for risk of causing offence. He waited nervously fro what the two had to say.

Story nods at Brook's question and says, "Yes, the change would be devastating. Tread lightly."

"I'm sure it will be memorable," said Scaevola, rising and gathering his retinue. "Until tomorrow, Germanicus." He and his servants headed off in a different direction.

Aricus slows his approach to the Senator when he sees others engaged with him.
Re: IC-Ep 1-Plans and Schemes(Everyone)
"Claudius, maybe we could walk with you and that way we do not cause you any delay in meeting the Senator's needs?" Artemis looked at the bowed man and waited for his response. "We need to ask you about something the Queen shared with us, and to me it makes little sense, but you listen and observe everyone, so maybe you might understand much more than this provincial would."
Re: IC-Ep 1-Plans and Schemes(Everyone)
"Yes, let's move away from here, there are far too many people taking too much interest. I suppose that's Romans for you, but even so. And we would not want you to get into trouble Claudius. My name is Calia Alba by the way." Caelia is not bothered by a bit of spit that lands nest to her sandal, narrowly missing a beautiful toe. It is only one of the four humors after all.
Re: IC-Ep 1-Plans and Schemes(Everyone)
"I've had a thought," Elizabeth whispers to Story, Lucius, and Brook. "If some of us were to infiltrate the conspirators against Caesar, we might see who they associate with to find out how they might be connected to the Brotherhood of the Beast. Our special knowledge puts us in a unique position to do that."

Re: IC-Ep 1-Plans and Schemes(Everyone)
Head bowed, Cladius mumbled his assent and pressed on.
"Speak then as we walk" he grumbled. "I fear I will have few words of import for you. My Marth'ter is a wise and powerful man" he said, allowing the faintest edge to his words, to insidiously suggest he could not lightly be taken advantage of. "Yet I am but a humble slave, not privy to his thoughts" he explained, before approaching, bent over, a wine merchant and perusing the wares.

"That's an excellent idea." Story said to Elizabeth in a lowered voice and continues, "I'm most intrigued with this Brotherhood of the Beast, and while you're right we are in a unique position, we're also on a potential slippery slop. We must be careful."
