The peace that formerly reigned in Terra Nova has eroded, now little more than a memory. War ravages the continent. Disputes divide kingdoms; ideals divide families. The quest for power consumes absolutely and indiscriminately. None are immune to its allure.
Who will rise and who will fall? Only time—and ambition—will tell.

5 whole years of Heir Apparent goodness! When I started the site, I knew I was hunkering down for the long haul, but I never could have predicted the numerous twists and turns this roleplay site has seen. Hundreds of plots, characters, and members have come and gone, all leaving marks on the site. I am so very thankful for those who have invested. Because you keep coming back, keep getting on, and keep writing, Heir Apparent has the legacy it does today. Three cheers to us!

(this thread is for @katerina )
Night had fallen over Coheed and it was far from asleep, Othello was one of those night owls. He sat on the rail of his ship with a rag and polish in hand, a pipe laid just in reach with a light smoke rolling from the inside a pungent order filled the air. His ship was empty. The bald tattoo headed Gifted was humming loudly a diddy of a song he scarcely remembered someone humming to him when he was just a boy.
His feet swung freely as he put another dab of polish on his rag and stuck it to the railing of his ship. He worked the polish evenly, this was his baby now and he treated her nicely. He had named her 'The Drowned Canary' a hats tip to the red headed shite cherry @myla . He sometimes wondered about that asshole and sometimes he hoped she was dead, whatever he hoped the family the worst.
The sound of boots on one of the docks had him turning his head but he kept waxing, "I hope ye' 'ave some drink sailor..."
Kat had found sleep impossible in Coheed. It wasn't the less than comfortable beds, she had slept on the floor plenty of times at home. But leaving her investigation behind, leaving her family behind, it seemed like the opposite of what she had planned. Still she wasn't about to run off again, not that she could if she wanted to. Stuck in Coheed with a bunch of rowdy men, cowed women, her brand new partner, and their boss. It was almost like taking them both on a trip to a classic Skia brothel, not the Midnight House, but one of those low end places.
Walking towards the water, the one thing familiar to her, she stepped onto the docks, not expecting anyone else and thus not trying to be quiet, squatting to dip her hand in the water. At the man's voice her head whipped up. If she wasn't far along on the docks she would have just turned around, instead stilling and looking up at the boat ahead. "All of luck there, no drink or sailor here."

"well I put ah' curse on bof our houses," he chuckled stopping his polishing to squint against the darkness, the woman was poorly lit by the small torch that was lighting his small area, he saw and heard just enough in her voice to know not many women of Coheed sounded so confident much less to be hanging around the docks.
"fuck yer kind come literaly out of everywhere, 'ere a witch there a witch, every fuckin' where be a witch," Othello rambled on with a deep hearty chuckle waving her up, "come liddle cridder sit, I 'ave tha' drinks. Findin' it 'ard to sleep? It'll adjus' trus' me, fall is comin' and winter tah'follow and you'll be wishin' for the ball sweatin' heat I promise....gotta name Witch?"
Kat listened to the man, not quite sure what his accent came from, certainly the way he spoke wasn't quite the normal. It was quant, kind of like the hut thing they were set up with, reminded her more of home and the swearing drunks.
Raising her eyebrow she wasn't totally sure she trusted the guy, but knew that almost all of them underestimated her. With her hand resting on her waist, and thus close to her dagger, she laughed. "I feel outnumbered, glad to know the feeling is mutual." Making her way up, careful to avoid his work, Kat hadn't even thought about how the weather might be affecting her. "Kat." Choosing to stand for now she looked across the boat. "I certainly didn't realize the weather would be so different. Water's nice though."

Othello leaned down to pick up a very old and unique bottle of wine, it came with the plunder of the Arynnite ship, and he offered it to her.
"Othello," he picked up his pipe where the embers still slowly burned and he took a deep inhale pulling the pipe away holding the smoke for a few seconds before letting it go, "wh'ater is tha' source o'life if yuns ask me, but I am jus' a man nuffin' more nuffin' less," he offered her the pipe, "like I say, you'll adjus', I did. Are ya' in fer tha' long haul or jus' swappin' fer sum time?"
Kat took the bottle, popping off the cork and taking a swig before handing it back. She was used to old drinks for sure but not in a nice way like this. It went down quite well, probably something expensive.
"Nice to meet yah then Othello." He seemed like a nice guy, most of the people she had met so far had. She had certainly come into Coheed with some biases in her mind. Maybe not the best thing but she was only trying to keep herself on her toes. "Not sure, above my pay grade I suppose." Grinning she looked over at Othello waving her hand at the pipe. "So this yours then?"

He kept the pipe with her refusal but didn't take the bottle letting her keep it, "Aye she is, my babe," he bent over to kiss the polished wood, "the Drowned Canary. We're o'bout to set sail inna day'er so," Othello sounded like the happiest man alive talking about his ship and sailing, "No idear where I'm goin' but I'm goin'."
Shrugging her shoulders Kat took another sip of the bottle before resting it against her leg. Apparently the men in Coheed were generous, duly noted. But his words made her tilt her head and raise a brow. Certainly she knew about orders, but at least she always knew the plan. "How you gonna sail the right direction if you don't know where you are going?" There were cardinal directions of course, but you couldn't exactly plot a course if you didn't have an end destination.

Othello laughed and shrugged, "As'sa bastard o'all things youngin' anna man o'tha sea I needs no direction, tha' currents will take me where I needa go," truth was Rael was still very vague on where and what they will be doing and if he did know Othello sure as hell wasn't going to tell the Witch here all their plans, "Maybe I'll jus' sail until I fall off tha' edge of the world or find uncharted lands? Fish until the day I die? I have a myriad o'options, I truly belong to no kingdom sins me Mutha was taken from her home when I was jus' a babe," he wasn't lying to much Indigo Allemeade was rumored to have been taken or killed by Coheed as a prisoner just after he was born, where she truly went he didn't know but he wasn't a son of Coheed or Cambria but a bastard Allemeade from Lorendale, "I jus' grew up 'ere."
There were a lot of reasons that Kat had never liked sailing. There was far too much out on the water she had no control over, and that was just damn annoying. "Must have a lot of patience for all that."
Listening to the Coheedsman roll on about odd things like sailing far far away. It seemed incredibly dull. Of course they probably would pirate anything they ran into if any of those rumors were true. "Well it seems you've made yourself a home then ehy? A ship of your own and all?" She really didn't care if the man sat on the deck wallowing about not belonging, but it seemed he really found a place that was his.

Othello barked with laughter at her observation of his potential 'patience', "Oi fuck do I? I got so much patience liddle cridder I piss it out every mornin'!" All the shite he's been through and will go through Othello really considered being the most patient man in Terra Nova
Kat cackled, shaking her head. "Well I envy you there. My fuse is shorter than my knife." Taking another swig of her drink it certainly wasn't a good thing. But it was who she was and maybe she could bring some of that fighting spirit to the women of Coheed. Or maybe they'd be annoyed enough with her to train harder to get her out. Either way worked. "What do you think about the Parabolti?"

Her question was a curious one which he felt earned himself a swig of his drink if she handed it back, "The womern brigade o'fighters? Hmm," his tongue clicked once as he took a big long chug offering it back as he wiped his mouth, "their as scary assa box full o'kittens, but can't says I blames'em? Their timid. The men 'round 'ere intimidate 'em...they could use a spit'n polish."
