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!
It was growing dark and Evanthe had been off duty for maybe twenty minutes. She and her partner had accomplished a lot in their time there, but that day had been draining for some reason. Maybe she needed to let loose a little. Maybe she needed more sleep? Who really knew. Being drained of all energy was sometimes just an unfortunate part of the job. It didn’t mean she couldn’t gripe about it though.
She’d dropped a note to her partner to meet her out here. Lately it’d been all work and no pleasure and she just wanted to relax and drink by the river. It was lonely drinking alone, and Kasper was a cheerful sort of fellow beneath all the hurt he’d endured in recent months. Or she thought so anyways.
She eventually found a ledge to sit on. She removed her boots and socks and stuck her feet in the water that was starting to catch the chill of Autumna. She had a bottle of some strong, local alcoholic drink, fresh and unopened.
Kasper is young enough to fall under the werewolf curse, yet it is dormant. Should the curse be activated his wolf form will be that of a white shaggy fur color keeping his smallness even though he is still rather large for a werewolf. His eyes also retain their green color.

Kasper had got the letter and shucked down to his most basic set of clothes, grabbed a little Coheed hash (that's what they called it; it was made from the same plant back home called witches haze) and he headed to find Evanthe. She had been a little light in the recent dark times and Kasper was grateful for her.
He also hadn't stopped thinking about Yrsa and their chance encounter, she was a beautiful woman and he hoped she'd see that she could do what she wanted. That he'd be there for her. Approaching Evanthe Kasper whistled letting her know it was him, "Already have your ass in the sand and toes in the water," he laughed pulling his hair back and tying it there, "I hope that's fresh!" and then planted himself right beside her but folding his legs under him. He was very weary of drinking anything from anyone since the ball, but he trusted Evanthe not to spike his drink and have him beast out.

Evanthe turned toward the source of the whistle. She lifted one corner of her mouth in a smile, “Heeeey,” she drawled, lifting one foot out of the water and wiggled her toes, “You know me. I’m always ahead of the game,” she held up the bottle of hooch, “Very fresh. It’s not even been opened yet,” unfortunately it had a cork in it, and she’d forgotten to bring a bottle opener…so she reached into her boot and grabbed a small knife, “One must improvise in times such as these,” she said, waving the knife tip in a circle, “Sit down, take a load off,” if his Coheed hash was visible to her at all, she’d eye it with her Cheshire grin, “Oooo, what is that?”

As she removed the cork Kasper had been wrestling a pinch of the hash into the bowl of his little wooden smoking pipe, it was carved to look like a raccoon (of course), "This my friend is Coheed hash," he was smirking, "You ever had it? Because this will knock..*he looked at his witch partner*...your metaphorical dick in the dirt," and Kasper laughed as he looked for a small bundle of sticks and flint, "Wait can you Torch me?" she did had fireball magic right? He suggested her aiming it at the sticks.

She freed the cork from the bottle and took a swig straight from it. She closed her eyes against that familiar burn as it rolled down her throat. Ah, that was the stuff! She held out the bottle to him, but wouldn’t make him drink if he didn’t want to. It seemed he had some other goodies to indulge in if he didn’t want to get drunk.
“Never had it,” she eyed the hash with interest, “But I’m intrigued.” At his question on torching the sticks, she paused, needing a moment to understand what he was wanting her to do. Her smile widened if that were possible, “Oh! Ha!” It probably wasn’t nice to giggle at him, “I could if you wanted us both to blow up with it! Incantations are no joke, man,” she patted her clothes, maybe she kept her flint, or took some matches with her…
“That wedding we went to made me realize how long it’s been since I’ve let my hair down,” Another swig, “I figured that we’ve earned a fun night off, yeah?”

Kasper laughed with her and shrugged taking a drink of the offered spirits, "I'll just start a little fire then, lords weeping no explosions if we are letting our hair down," he joked as he began to make a little fire handing her back the bottle after a second sip, "Annny ways yeah a night off ain't gonna hurt anyone but I'm not going to get like I did at the wedding," he had got drunk and high and remembered bits and pieces of it, bur he remembered Evanthe being there with him through it all, "I was hoping to get some strange but I opted for the hangover...," he looked up just as the flames from his little fire began to burn, and back towards the bustle of Gilead, "So what do you wanna do to let that hair down?"

She’d take a drink as soon as it was back in her hand and watched him light the fire, “I dunno,” she laughed, “You were so smashed, I could have convinced you that everyone around you were dancing cats and that I am really secret royalty,” she set the bottle down, “But if you did, I’d make sure nothing bad happens to you,” indeed, she had his back at the wedding. He was her partner, so it was part of the job, but she also liked Kasper as a person. She knew he was hurt, and when someone was hurt, they let stupid things happen. She’d been in that position a lot with no safety net, and she’d be damned before she let him fall without a catcher.
As to what she wanted to do, “I wanna get so messed up that I’ll be willing to skinny dip in this here fridge water. You game?”

"I'm sorry you had to do that, that means I didn't have your back and look where we are," he took a little pinch of the Coheed hash and popped it into a wooden bowl, "It won't happen again, I'm just going through some shit I thought I needed to get black out for a minute," he then took a stick and touched the edge of the small fire, "And as for your wishes to skinny dip...I don't have to be blackout for that, but I will rescue you.." he smirked.

She waved her hand, “You’re fine Kasper,” she watched him touch the stick to the fire, “You clearly needed it, and I was happy to do it,” she sobered her expression but only a bit, “Speaking of which, how are you doing now?”
At his quip about catching her while skinny dipping, her Cheshire smile returned, “Would ya, huh?” she reached out to playfully shove him, “Does that mean that you’d frolic in there with me, and not leave me to freeze by my lonesome?”

He took the playful shove, letting loose a large cloud of heavy smoke, it sank and settled for a moment before the light winds carried it away.
Kasper coughed a little but recovered to give her a reply, "I'm good, fine even better really with an offer to frolic with you naked in the water," he was smirking, "I mean why pass up such an honor to keep my wild partner warm...tis a duty my lady," and he then leaned into giving her a small shoulder to shoulder shove.

She accepted the shoulder bump, “See, I knew you’re a gentleman,” she watched him drink from the bottle, “And a gentleman would show me how to do this,” she waved at the smoking hash, “Booze is my vice, and I’ve not actually tried this.” She wondered how it was that she’d never tried the stuff.

Now Kasper’s mind was on skinny dipping but he smiled, "It's euphoric, the feeling of it almost like floating," he offered her the pipe, "Mouth goes here, hold that little carb hole like this," he would take her hands and position them on the bowl, "It makes people giggle, some are deep lost thinkers, and others get energy from it but it always makes things better," he held another stick in the small fire for a few seconds, "Food, wine, company...sex...if you want to try ill hold the fire to the hash, small inhale and then move your finger from the carb hole okay...."
Post by Evanthe Curran on Jun 28, 2024 8:03:26 GMT -5
Reaching for the pipe, she wondered what effect she’d get from it. Honestly, whatever smoking that hash would do to her, it sounded like a fun experience, “It makes all those things better huh?” There seemed to be a hesitation when he mentioned that it made sex better, but maybe he was shy about mentioning it to his partner? Honestly, she was tempted to tease him, but discarded that notion for now. She wondered how being giggly would make sex better…then again, she was usually smashed when she’d indulged in the more fleshly urges. “I’m definitely trying this,” she eyed the pipe, looking for the hole she was supposed to cover. She would let him hold the hash to the fire, and then she did as instructed, and inhaled before covering the hole, “How long does it take for it to kick in?” She wasn’t feeling any different yet…

Kasper just laughed and shook his head before taking another hit from his pipe and in a cloud of smoke he answered her question, "It takes a bit for the first time but when it hits you'll know," he shrugged, "You'll just feel happier than usual, that ambition of skinny dipping might be stronger than when you get drunk."
Taking another drink Kasper decided to kick his boots off and sink them into the water, "Better enjoy this before winter, I heard they suck worse here than back home."

“Hmmm,” Evanthe tapped her chin thoughtfully. It sounded a lot like getting drunk, but maybe loopier, “I like the sound of this stuff. Lemme have another puff,” she’d reach for his pipe, and if he let her have it, would take that puff she desired, “We’ll see who’s jumping in there wearing their birthday suit first, yeah?” She exhaled smoke, “Maybe a bet?”
“Yeah they are,” Evanthe reached for the bottle when he was through with it, “I was here before, did they tell you that? Worst winter of my life,” she laughed, “Royce was really pathetic, that ice cycle.”
