Cassius Comes to His Conclusion

The Battle has started and Titinius is telling me that Brutus sent his soldiers to early, he thought he had an advantage on Octavius and jumped on the oppurtunity and says that we are now surrounded by Antony's men.  Pindarus comes and tell me to run because Antony is in my tents.  I ask Titinius if those are my tents on fire and he says yes they are.  I tell him if he truly loves me then go find out if those soldiers are friends or enemies.  I tell Pindarus to go up a little higher on the hill to watch Titinius because my eyesight is bad.  He tells me that Titinius is being surrounded by men and they kill him.  We both here a shout of joy from the enemy.  At this point i feel like a coward and completley regret seeing my friend taken right in front of me.  I call Pindarus over and remind him that he took an oath and I give him my sword.  I tell him to take the dagger that killed Caesar and put it through my chest and Pindarus takes the dagger and kills me.

Smack Talk on th Battlefield

We begin our March on Philippi and before we start the fight Brutus and I meet Antony and Octavius and argue with each other.  It is just the four of us in the middle of the battlfield smack talking and I tell Brutus if we killed Antony along with Caesar he would not be an issue right now.  Octavius says do not forget why we are here and draws his sword and says I will avenge the holes that were put in Caesar's body or until I myslef am killed.  Brutus tells Octavius that he could not die more noble than being killed by his sword. Octavius calls us traitors and says if we dare fight them then go to the field and if not then come back when we are ready to and then him and Antony leave and we also return to our armies.  I call Messala over to me and I tell him that it is my birthday and that i have changed in many ways such as partly believing in omens like the ravens and crows that are flying over us.  Brutus walks back towards me and we talk a little and say farewell in case we do not speak again in the future and go to battle.

Seeing Through a Friends Faults

After Brutus accuses me of not giving him gold to pay his soldiers it became a little more emotional.  I told him that he should be able to deal with his friends bad sides.  I got straight to the point and said you do not love me.  I felt like a lost a bestfriend and that I was not loved anymore but Brutus says he only does not love my faults.  At this point I am telling Anotony and Octavius to come and kill me because I am hated by someone i love.  I give Brutus my dagger and I tell him to kill me because even when he hated Caesar he still loved him more than he has ever loved me. Brutus tells me to put the dagger away and that he will just regard everything as me being in a bad mood.  I tell Brutus I inherited the bad moods from my mother and ask him if he can deal with them and he agrees to it.  The two of us shake hands to end this dispute and begin to unwind for the evening.  We continue talking and I figure out that Portia has died! I am very surprised by this news but Brutus is very accepting. He does not want to talk about it at all and I think we should but we end up going our seperate ways until the next day.

A Warm Friend Cooling

I arrive at Brutus's millitary camp and pretty immidiatley go at it.  I accuse Brutus of doing me wrong by accusing Lucius of taking bribes and ignoring my letters.  Brutus begins to call me greedy and accuse me of taking bribes sometime in my past.  He starts to back talk me and I tell him that I am a more experienced soldier. Brutus says he will not cower to me and that if i am truly a better soldier than to prove it.  One of the last things Brutus says is that I denied him gold to pay his soldiers but I did not.  I told him that it was not my fault and it was the person who gave him that message.

Felling Victorious!

Caesar was just stabbed and now we feel victorious.  Everyone is trying to decide what to do. A couple things are suggested to do, such as run the streets yelling Liberty! Freedom! Tyranny is dead! Brutus and I go to the platform. Brutus is trying to tell everyone that nobody else will be harmed and Caesar only had to be killed because he was too ambitious.

Brutus tells Publius to leave so that if the people try to storm the conspirators he will not be harmed.  Brutus and I agree that death was a gift because a mans life that is shortened by twenty years is twenty years they do not have to spend fearing death.  Mark Antony comes in after he is assured he will not be harmed and him Brutus and I all talk and Antony shakes our hands.  I was not sure if I should consider him a reliable friend or not.  Brutus wants to explain to the people the reasons for killing Caesar and then let Antony speak after him and I do not like this plan but Brutus goes with it anyway.

Doing the Dirty Work

The Ides of March have finally arrived and the conspirators and I are getting ready to follow through with our plan.  Popillus comes up to me and wishes me luck in my endeavor and this makes me feel nervous.  I think that he knows about our plot against Caesar, but when I tell Brutus he says no Popillus does not know about it.  Brutus points out that Popillus is talking to Caesar and they are both smiling.  This makes me feel less nervous and now Trebonius is distracting Antony like he should be.  I fall to my knees and beg Caesar to allow Publius Cimber back into Rome as do most of the conspirators but Caesar denies the request and Casca is the first to stab Caesar. Brutus and I are the last to stab him and Caesar can not beleive that Brutus was part of the killing.

Cassius and the Conspirators

So the conspirators and I make our way to see Brutus.  He greets all of us kindly and then I ask to have a word with him.  I was confident that i could get Brutus to join us and I was successful.  When Brutus and I turn back to the rest of the conspirators I say we should swear an oath but Brutus says no, we should have reason enough to motivate us and if we need to swear an oath than we should just break this entire idea off now and go back to sleep.

I suggest telling Cicero about our plans. All the conspirators agree to the idea besides for Brutus.  I do not want to go against Brutus since the romans love him and having him in on our plan makes it seem like it is the right thing to do.  It was also brought up if we should kill anyone else with Caesar or not.  Brutus said no because if we kill anyone else, it will look like we only killed Caesar out of anger and not for the better of Rome.

The Porch of Pompey's Theatre

I am still out in the streets on this insane night with all the omens going on but Casca wants to join in my plan against Caesar.  I am like okay Casca, I already have some of the noblest Romans with me and they are waiting for me outside of Pompey's Theatre.  We both here someone coming and I know it is Cinna by the way he walks. 

Cinna is happy that Casca is with us but he still wishes that Brutus would join.  I give Cinna this paper and tell him to go put it on Brutus's chair so that there is no way for him to not see it and to throw one through his window and one on his statue.

There is a Lion in the Capitol? No Big Deal

I was walking down one of the streets of Rome one day and out of no where I hear Casca's voice.  I am just talking to Casca and I think it is a really nice night but Casca of course sees all this crazy stuff going on that blows his mind. he thinks they are all omens from the gods. I am just walking around tempting the gods by putting myself where I think the lighting would hit. Because i am confident that all these omens are not true 

Casca tells me that they are going to make Caesar king the next day and I tell him if he becomes king I am going to kill myself with a dagger so im not a slave to Caesar.  I start talking to Casca and he is like hey if you mean what you are saying then shake my hand and I will go as far as any one of you.

Cassius questions Brutus

I was with brutus after Caesar left, being warned of the ides of March, and I asked him if he wanted to go see how the race was going. Brutus said that he is not competitive like Antony and said no.  So Brutus and I continued talking and I realized that he was not acting like himself lately. I was confused and curious to what was wrong with him so I came out and asked him.  Brutus said that he has been troubled by his own thoughts and inner conflicts.
Brutus and I continued communicating and we heard trumpets and loud shouts.  Brutus questioned what was going on and feared that they made Caesar king.  He said that he does not want him to be king.
