Plan [39] : Back in business.

[nowarstowin]

It seems the Malnosso have been bringing in more and more people as the months grow longer. It's been ... sweet runes, right around six months since I was brought here.Any of you new feathers interested in introducing yourselves? I'm Caesar, one of our resident strategist/tactician-types. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask

Ah, Caesar! Et tu, Brute, beware the Ides of March? Now that was an ambitious man. Makes for a pretty strong name for a strategist... I'm being rude again, aren't I? You probably get that all the time. Anyway, nice to meet you, I'm the Doctor.

What's an Ides of March? I've never heard anything like that before, to be honest.

Hello, Doctor; pleased to meet you -- or as pleased as you can get to meet other prisoners, I suppose. (Do I call you 'Doctor', or do you have something you'd rather be called?) How are you settling in?

[ooc: *cracks up* It's been so long in coming, I swear.]

It's what the Roman calendar would call the fifteenth of March. It was a festival day back then but it's more famous in later years as the day when Julius Caesar was assassinated. That's completely accurate, surprisingly enough. The Romans were decent record-keepers.

Just the Doctor. I'm doing well, lost a few things, found a few people who were supposed to be lost instead.

I ... see. Well, I made it through this March unscathed; here's hoping it's not a cursed name or anything, right?

I hope it was a satisfactory trade for you.

As long as you don't try to become Emperor, I think you'll be fine. Caesar's remembered as a great man. Also a dictator, but you can't have everything.

Yes, I'd say it was. But it's making it a bit more difficult than usual to get out.

I'm not excited by the prospect of public office, so I don't think I have to worry, then. That's good -- sort of?

Glad to hear it. I'm not certain you could get out of here on your own terms anyway, Doctor. It seems that any sort of ability that would work in that capacity has been completely nullified by the Malnosso, as is.
