The Piggyback Ride Meme

Ahhh. The immortal piggyback ride. So versatile, there are so many uses for it—to transport the injured and the beloved, as a means of showing affection, and to even play. It's not just for romance. It can be done between parent and child, siblings, friends, medic and patient, even complete strangers and, in those rare moments, mortal enemies! Just be sure the person can carry you, yeah?

How this works:
→ Leave a comment with the usual information in the subject line: character name, fandom. Any preferences, including what you don't want, should be included as well. If you want, indicate if you want your character to Carry, Be Carried, or Both.
→ Congratulations. Your character is one half of a piggyback ride with whoever tags them!
→ Tag around.
→ Feel free to roll RNG (1-9) if you cannot come up with scenarios of your own.
→ Have fun, and be excellent to each other!

• 1 — Injury. (You can't walk like that. Here, let me carry you . . . )
• 2 — Romantic. (Obligatory shippy option.)
• 3 — Escape. (You're on the run and one of you is moving too slow or can't move at all!)
• 4 — Surprise! (That back right there? I'm going to jump the fuck on it and they don't even know it yet!)
• 5 — Duty. (EMT, military and disaster recovery personnel, firemen, etc. are sometimes required to carry civilians like this.)
• 6 — Game. (Chicken fight, park games, made-up games, whatever!)
• 7 — Wasted. (Go home, you're drunk. Except you can't walk . . . )
• 8 — Platonic or Familial. (It's such a beautiful day, can I carry you?)
• 9 — Fuck da police. (In other words, the random/whatever option.)

F-For one, being on someone's back while they jump over things is way past my limit!! And the only piggyback rides I've done involved walking!!

[niceguypose]

So you mean to say... you're already pushing past your limits? [The waterworks intensify.] That's so inspiring, sir!!

[indebting]

[ WHY IS IT RAINING-- ]

NO! I mean I'm past the limit that I can handle!!

[niceguypose]

Ah! Sir, are you saying that... I should slow down in some way?

[It's the most bizarre concept he has ever heard.]

[indebting]

YES! [ omg Lee, pls ]

[niceguypose]

[He turns his head completely to face her while still running. It's important to assure this young man, after all.]

I will obey your wishes with an extreme dilige-

[And while he's not looking where he's going, he accidentally steps onto a skateboard that's lying their path.

Now it's time to maintain balance as the skateboard careens onward.]

[indebting]

[ the second he turns to face her, she can feel some sort of premonition... said premonition is soon realized the second she feels them hurling forward even faster. she's practically clinging to him now, eyes shut and unable to hold back the loud scream. ]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

[niceguypose]

Don't worry! This is just... an unexpected trial of youth! [He tries to shout over her scream as they keep speeding onwards. He does try to keep a tighter grip on her arms, but otherwise he's taking this very lightly.]

[indebting]

It's too late to not worry! [ WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU LEE, WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY CRASH AND GET SERIOUSLY HURT ] Do something!!

[niceguypose]

I am thinking over my options! In a cool and youthful manner!

[But it looks like a choice has to be made soon, as the skateboard is heading straight towards a crowded intersection.

Lee looks around quickly, abruptly shifting the direction he's facing several times, until he makes his decision.

He makes a huge leap into the air, to land on the branch of an adjacent tree.]
