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 open)
Othello stood only for a second outside of his door long enough to down one of his bottles and dropping the husk of glass on the ground. He had been far to nice for far to long with these ungrateful fucking swine! All the old pent up Othello was seeping through the pores of this new polished piece of shit, the collar at his neck was so irritated that the aggression from how he scratched tore into flesh lightly enough to cause bleeding.
One of the younger Van Zants was standing on the stoop, "is y'all done partying?"
Othello pointed back at the house, "o yeah the party is over, you little ones can go eat and drink all yans want," he really didn't care, "Tell'em I'll be back fer Benji later aye?"
The kid looked like he was straining to understand Othello, the booze had made him thick in the tongue still he kept walking. He was heading for the water that licked at its black soulless sands.
Elletta was out the door maybe a handful of minutes after Othello Allemeade at most, still with the canteen she'd got him bouncing on her hip since she'd put it over her shoulder instead of carrying it in her hands. She spied the glass on the ground and spent only a quick second to ask the kid where he went ("That'a'way, miss.") before she was off after the man.
She wasn't jogging but she wasn't walking at a slow pace either. It was something in the middle. And as she walked, the more annoyed she was because if someone had done something like that for her, she sure as all hells wouldn't have yelled at the person who arranged it. Especially not in his own home.
She spotted the man's back and picked up the pace. " 'Thello! Wait up!" She didn't care that he was drunk but she was hoped that he wasn't like the drunkards that she'd grown up around in her da's tavern who got handsy regardless of how only the girl in front of them was.

Zarha knew Warren asked her to walk to the castle, however, she doesn't like the idea of Elletta dealing with Othello on her own. Not in the state that he is in. He is drunk. Also she knows that he is strong she he isn't in the right frame of mind. She followed after Elletta making sure that she knows that she was here.
She noticed that the kids were going back to the house. She gave them all a warm smile. as she ran towards them both. "Hi, Othello." There was a warm smile on her face. she was still really sober so had about one glass the whole night as she knew that she need to be sober for this.

Othello didn't slow down for either of them, "I ain't got time ta' kick yer ass today Haider and I ain't comfortin' you Zarha," he yelled as he carried on drinking from his now freshly opened bottle of liquor, "I'm going fer a fuckin' swim," and between two big drinks he mumbled something about Regan and sulking about which was the reason nobody ever stopped to care about her, "oh my let's bitch about some fucking whores, whoa is god damn me!"
Post by Zarha Sliva on May 8, 2023 17:28:48 GMT -5
Zarha would of been hurt is she fucking cared about that, she will run in front of Othello and try and take the bottle from his hands. "Othello like Elletta I am here for you. So you not are not going for a fucking swim. You are going to fucking sit your arse down for a moment." Zarha's voice is firm.

When Aldrich walked out of the house, he saw there were still some people nearby. Not everyone had immediately left to go to their own homes. He really wasn't in the mood for talking to more people right now. He also felt angry at Regan, but for other reasons than Othello. Even though these reasons were different, the man and the lieutenant had something in common.
"Go home, both of you", he said, looking at @elletta and Zarha Sliva . "I'm taking Othello drinking." And he didn't want the women to come. He wanted to allow Othello to air out his frustrations, and to get absolutely shit faced. If Zarha had successfully taken the bottle from Othello, he would then take it from her.
He'd continue to walk, hoping Othello would follow him so they could find the nearest tavern to crash.
We won't call it quits. We'll call it the start.

Othello stopped walking and his shoulders tensed as the grip on his bottle of liquors neck his blue Allemeade eyes danced between the pair as they spouted their falsehoods, care about him? When Abbott showed up Othello couldn't help but growl lowly, "As far as I'm concerned caring about me is ignorant, do you both understand? Do ya' care about yer swords and yer magic jus' the same? Huh?!" he was inching closer to each of there faces as he screamed, "because guess what ladies while I'm 'ere all I am is a FUCKIN' WEAPON! Nothing fuckin' more or less, not a sparring buddy, not a friend, or gods damn drinking buddy," he was looking at Abbott too as drunk venom poured forth.

It became clear very quickly that Othello was not in a good place. While all he wanted to do was go home and forget about this whole evening, Aldrich felt too responsible for the two young women to let Othello talk to them that way, or get this close to them.
The man got between the Allemeade and the witches and held up his hands. "Fine, Othello, go for your fucking swim then." If Zarha and Elletta were smart, they would just stay silent for a while until this projectile of a man had walked away.

Elletta ground her teeth, her own annoyance tripping over into her own temper. Ignoring Aldrich, which she normally didn't do, she all but hissed at Othello Allemeade, stepping around her officer and walking into Othello's space and poking him in the chest.
"You gon' feckin' tell me bout meself and my fuckin' feelin'?! I sure as fuck didna think o' you's like that in Coheed and that ain't fuckin changed!" Her eyes were narrowed as she stood in front of him practically chest to chest and looking up, more stubborn than angry, and maybe a little hurt.
"I done showed up tonight cause you asked, an' only that. Anyone else, I prolly wouldna done that. An' I sure as hell don' buy shit for other folks and I got you somethin. So's you gonna tell me what I'm feelin 'gain?"
In her frustration she didn't even notice that she dropped her normally proper speaking.

Elletta had peeked out from behind his back and had started speaking again, and this was Aldrich's cue to leave. He really didn't have the mental capacity to deal with more shit, and this was starting to look like a whole lotta shit. The man shook his head and started walking again. He decided against going to a tavern, and instead just went home. It was a shame that the crate of whiskey was still at Othello's. Oh well.

Zarha didn't let Abbott step in front of her so When Othello shouted at her instead of poking at him she started to shove him standing to the side, so well Elletta poking him in the chest she was shoving him on the side. "I wouldn't show up to a fucking party for a fucking weapon." She doesn't care that Aldrich was gone but she needed to vent. She kept shoving him as hard as she can without hurting him. "I fucking won't be here for anybody." She doesn't care for formalities. "If you don't want me to be my friend that fucking fine by me, but I am not fucking leaving you because I care about you and we are a fucking team and I won't run away and quit on my team mates."

This kinda sobered Othello up, well he was still drunk, but less angry and he frustratingly and aggressively rubbed his face. Abbott took the hint it seemed that Othello needed a bit of space. How was it all these little witches thought they could just yell at him?
Othello took a step back and turned the bottle all the way up drinking and drinking, he held a finger up to them until the bottle was completely empty. He dropped the bottle on the cobble road busting it as he rocked back and forth, "if ya' bof care so dame much, take me 'ome," what came out wasn't coherent in the slightest and he rocked back on his heels and then took a small step backwards before blackout drunk washed over him. He hit the ground with a thud.
"Wha-Oh fuck!" She was closer than Zarha Sliva and she got a shoulder under him to catch before he hit the ground though she definitely stumbled at the sudden weight. Even if the other witch helped, they'd have trouble getting him back to his home since Aldrich left. And of all nights to not have a knife on her- a glint of lantern light on the broken glass on the cobblestone.
Leaning down, which wasn't that far thanks to Othello's weight bearing down, she grabbed a piece of glass and squeezed until she drew blood and called out a summons just large enough for Othello to be draped over it's back. She might be annoyed at the man but she wasn't heartless.
"Imma take him home Zarha. You don' hafta come with but I think he's down for the night."
As she walked back with her summons and Othello slumped on its back, her temper ebbed away.

Zarha was going to protest and help but in a way she was angry, especially angry when everybody kept telling her to go home like she was some dumb kid, like she had a home to go to at the moment. Hardly anybody knew that she was staying in the barracks till the situation with her parents sorted. As @elletta walk away She heard an angry scream coming from Zarha as she storms away.
All this time people tell her to make friends, relax but if this is how she is to make friends and relax she hates it. She wouldn't make it back to the wing till dark.
