Bodyguard

the bodyguard meme



You're a pop star, or a royal, or maybe even the last of your kind who will bring about the Earth's redemption. Whatever the case may be, you're in a position that may be a bit dicey if you attract the wrong kind of attention.

And you're a bodyguard, a soldier, a knight - a protector. Somehow, you've been roped into protecting this person. You'll be rewarded, of course. The work may be cut out for you, but just do your job, keep your head down, and it'll go smooth.

Except for when the two of you break the bounds of professionalism and feelings begin to flourish. Being in such close quarters may get you to see the other in a different light, and saving someone's life just may be the ultimate form of intimacy.

Could this be the real danger? To feel so strongly for the one you've sworn to protect...are you compromised?

How to Play
1. Comment with your character and preferences, being sure to put if you want to play the guard, the guarded, or either. Also, you may want to put if you prefer fluffy, angsty, or smutty interaction - or have no preference.
2. Comment to others.
3. There are no prompts, because there are so many potential options there could be a hundred. Feel free to play anything: the beginnings of the relationship, just meeting, getting used to each other/not getting along at first, the obligatory first time, a threat on the protected's life and how their protector responds, how the feelings between the two has changed the protection, etc. Your only limit is you.

[[Joe canonically has a uniquely horrible little guy as his driver and bodyguard but there's no love lost between them. Anybody aspiring toward (traditional/nonsexual (unless...)) goondom is welcome, current or former soldiers particularly!]]

[ota, voice testing. although she is capable of taking people on in her own right, she likely is the one in need of a bodyguard.]

( the convention is agonizingly loud and crowded, which isn't really a surprise given the popularity of fluffy across the blue, but it is annoying. and dangerous, given the state of the fulwish situation and the number of unknowns still orbiting phantasmoon games.

ashveil is at pearl's shoulder as she walks the floor, but so far? this gig has mostly amounted to using his height to clear paths for her. )


I recognize that this is more about the performance than my actual skills, but remind me how much I'm getting paid for this again?
