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.

Change in how times flows. Was 4 IC seasons, now only 2 IC seasons per 1 OOC year.
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!
People were so boring, but clearly this woman didn't want to draw any attention. So be it, even though it was a complete waste of her talents. It was money in her pocket and something she could do in her sleep. "Of course, keep it simple, I can do that." The smile would remain glimmering on her face and she pulled out her fabric measure. "Ready?" She at least needed arm measurements and some loose body measurements even if she wanted them less than form fitting.

A light panic rose up in her when she realised Oriana would have to take her measurements, but she made sure to keep this panic concealed. Instead, she smiled and nodded, stepping onto the little platform without being told to do so. "Work your magic", she said lightheartedly, spreading her arms to the side so Oriana could reach everywhere with that measure of hers.
Oriana nodded, not noticing the panic yet. And it wasn't as though there would be anything showing yet. It would be the delivery and refitting that really showed a change, but that wasn't even a glimmer in the seamstresses eye yet.
When she started however she felt a bit of tension. "I'll be gentle, I promise. Not like those old seamstresses who poke people for the fun of it." Winking she laughed, figuring it would go smooth and quick if they were more relaxed.

Scout laughed, more at ease again after Oriana's comment. The tension is her shoulders went away, allowed her arms to be less stiff and drop a little. "You never know when these ladies will put a pin in ya", she replied, thinking back to all the times she had felt a little needle in her skin when the seamstresses would pin the fabrics around her figure.
"See I've heard men and their pins are more the issue." Snickering, she figured this woman was going to pretend to be less than whatever she was, might as well go along with it. It's how she would talk with another commoner, not that she got that many in the store.
With a big smile and a gentle hand, Oriana guided the blonde through the fitting. "It'll take a little while for some of the fabrics, but in a months time should be ready for another fitting. You want to come back in for that?" Probably not her home considering she seemed to want to hide something, so Oriana figured she would give the woman that option.

She laughed together with the woman, feeling much better now. It didn't last very long though. When they had finished the measuring and Oriana mentioned another fitting in a month, her brow furrowed lightly. She hoped she wouldn't be showing too much by then, but perhaps then she could publicly come out for her pregnancy, and perhaps she'd be able to drop the act of pretending to be someone else, although Oriana would have already figured out her real identity by then, given the fact that she had been at the community meeting. "Yes, sounds good", she replied instead. "I'll be back for that."
"I'll see you then Mademoiselle Watts." Winking Oriana finished up some notes and wrote up a rough estimate receipt so that the woman would know how much to bring. She was partially excited for this different project, and maybe even a touch nervous. She was good at everything she did so surely this wouldn't be different. Only time would tell
