star☆crossed L O V E R S
When two people come together in a relationship, it's a beautiful thing. What can be wrong with love, right? Right? Except when the union is completely and totally wrong, for whatever reason. Then things can get a little messy.
How To Play
1. Comment with your character, listing their name, canon, etc, along with any preferences.
2. Comment around to others, using the RNG to determine the scenario. It doesn't have to be a lovey-dovey relationship, obviously. There can be hate, sorrow, lust, whatever.
3. Thread! Have fun! Do things!
Scenarios
1. Warring Factions: You belong to rival organizations, armies, clubs, etc. Whatever it is, you're not on the same team.
2. Soldiers on the Battlefield: Or maybe you are on the same side, but this is the wrong time and the wrong place. Plus, attachments cause distractions.
3. Bodyguard and the Guarded: Just like the movie with Kevin Costner! One of you has been hired to protect the other for some reason, and feelings are starting to grow. Are you a professional and cut things off, or do you give in?
4. Prince/ss and Knight: Similar to the above, but with a whole 'nother level of wrong...one of you is royal. Courtly love is okay; still, don't forget your place.
5. Enemies: This vendetta is personal, and you totally hate this person! Don't you? Perhaps you're maybe just rivals, or something as serious as superhero and villain.
6. Family: The ultimate taboo. This person is related to you, so there's no way you should indulge this desire, even if it's the most pure love there ever was.
7. Age Difference: The years between you should keep you both at bay, but it's easier said than done.
8. Teacher/Student: Teachers and students have a unique bond, and to corrupt it is a dangerous thing. Will you dare to act on emotions that could put you both in a destructive place?
9. Already Spoken For: One or both of you are already involved with someone else, but the heart wants what the heart wants. Just know that you can't have your cake and eat it, too.
10. Not Compatible: Your personalities or jobs make it so it's hard for you to be together.
11. Not Compatible...in Another Way: You're both different species, which means you're either afraid to take your relationship to a physical level or you can't because of differences in biologies.
12. Not Ready for Love: You took a vow (or celibacy, of chastity, of dedication), you're married to your work, or you just don't want to be involved with anyone. Too bad!
13. Rich and Poor: One of you has the money while the other is from more modest means. Can the 1% and the 99% ever be bedfellows, literally?
14. Hurt Before: Your heart has been broken, and maybe there's been no time to heal. But here you are.

But this was different.
Lady Amalthea was different.
She didn't see through him or ignore his presence completely as many had done before. She was always kind (although sad, it seemed), always curious in a way that was endearing in a way Charles had never experienced before. Maybe it only made sense that he focused his attention (affection?) on her in a way that was unfamiliar if only because he never would have considered it before.
But he kept that affection to himself, not wanting her to feel uncomfortable in any way - or pressured to return certain feelings. It was probably for the best that way.
This was, after all, just another job.]
no subject
She finds it strange to have someone assigned to protect her, but she understands the necessity. Charlie is good company. He does his job well. She likes talking to him. Despite protecting her, he doesn't treat her like glass. After a long day, she gives him a smile. ]
I think that is enough of that for today, yes? Are you hungry?
no subject
He enjoys spending time with her and answering any questions she might have. It's not tedious in the slightest, where it might have been with anyone else. It's not a chore to escort her wherever she might wish to go. He actively looks forward to it.
And although it's not the first time she's invited him to dine with her, when Amalthea asks if he'd like to eat, he's as startled as ever to be considered worthy to dine at her table.]
Yes, my lady. I could eat.
sorry for delay, lost her voice for a bit
[ She gives him an encouraging smile. It's not the first time she's asked him to do so, nor is it likely the last. She returns to her comfortable suite to take her dinner there. She prefers it than eating in the crowded cafes and restaurants where she feels trapped.
She knows Charles appreciates her dining in the quieter areas that aren't as busy, but she does so mostly out of her own comfort. ]
What are you hungry for?
no worries <3
He is far more used to taking his supper in the barracks or out in the field where there isn't much privacy to be found, so he does enjoy having the time and space to eat at his leisure, to think without being interrupted by loud conversation drowning out everything nearby.]
Lady - ah. Amalthea. I would be pleased to share whatever you decide will be sufficient.

But he wasn't out of the woods just yet. One connection had hooked him with a simple bodyguard duty. Of all things, it had been for models. Why them of all people? He soon got an answer with how the news began to report more on stalkers lately. Left with little choice, Hei took on the job. It paid well at least. Hell, having a stable paycheck and home again was a big bonus.
He waited after the photo-shoot, standing near the vending-machines while it happened, eyes carefully surveying the area. He doubted there was much need to worry, but still, messing up this job would be embarrassing. Once the pictures were done, he went over to Ann, and extended his hand. Might as well introduce himself.]
Ann Tamaki, right? Didn't have time earlier to do this since you were clearly busy, but starting today, I've been assigned to be your bodyguard.
no subject
A girl her age who modeled for a living should expect to have people recognize her. To love her, hate her, and occasionally become obsessed with the idea of her.
It was expected, yes — but that didn't make it any less terrifying.
Harassment cases were on the rise in Tokyo, it seemed. Not a day would go by without some incident of assault being reported on the news. A groper on the subway, someone caught taking pictures up girls' skirts without them knowing, the list goes on and on. Some of the girls in the agency had taken to traveling together in packs for safety.
Others, like Ann, were given protection. It was more her parents' idea than her own, knowing that their daughter had a habit of being a loner; and it was nice... In a way, to know that her parents still thought of her even while they were thousands of miles away.
Work had finished for the day and she bowed politely to the photographer, watching as the other models giggled and playfully shoved at each other. Fingers idly twirled blonde hair around them, attention shifting at the sudden call of her name. A man had approached while she wasn't looking, his hand extended towards her in greeting.
Blue eyes lift to meet his gaze, widening when she realized he was the one that would be looking after her for the time being.
Oh no, he's hot...!
In an effort to be professional, Ann quickly untangles fingers from her hair; carefully placing her hand in his. )
Yes, that's me. Uhm... It's nice to meet you Mr. ...?
no subject
Weird how being honest was kind of the right choice. Just had to be mindful in not scaring away his own client. He briefly shook her hand.]
You can just call me Hei. I'm sure your company informed you of how our arrangement will go, right?
no subject
Uhm... You're like, going to follow me around and stuff to make sure I stay safe?
( In hindsight, she doesn't actually remember how much time she'd be spending with the man. It could be awkward trying to go to school and having him lingering on the campus — not to mention anything regarding the Phantom Thieves would have to be put off for the time being. Any attempts to shake him would only make things more suspicious, she thinks. )
( Gaze once more lifts to meet his and she's smiling, somewhat embarrassed. )
That's... All I remember. ( Then, as an afterthought: ) Sorry.
no subject
[He didn't know much about the entertainment business, but with some undercover jobs beforehand, he could tell their level of care really depended on monetary value, mostly.]
For the most part, you are correct. I can't be around constantly however, since obviously you need to live your own life.
[And it would indeed look awkward if he just was there while she was on a date with someone.]
In the end, unless it's a dire situation, you are in charge. I can stay close or be distant, or even trust your judgment if there is no one suspicious. I imagine it will be difficult to manage at times, but I'm effectively at your service.
no subject
Oh, don't say it like that. Let's just be like... Friends?
( That would probably be weird though, right? He was older than her, for one, not to mention this was his job. )
… Or something. ( A pause. ) Anyway, I should probably like... Show you where I live and stuff, yeah? Unless you were already told...?
( Seeing as she was planning on heading home anyway, it was his choice on whether or not he wanted to follow. It wasn't dark yet, so she was alright riding the subway by herself. She'd done so to get here, after all.
Part of her wanted the company, though. Now that she was older, there wasn't a need for her to have caretakers anymore and the house did get... A bit lonely. And a little creepy when it was dark out. )
no subject
[He still wasn't quite sure what to make of this, feeling a bit awkward put on the spot like this. Best to just roll with it for now. Not like she had assassins waiting around every corner or something absurd.
He nodded, though crossed his arms, briefly pondering the words.]
I know the location, but that's about it. We can just walk there and I can scope it out, if you are comfortable with the idea.
[And likely looked less awkward if he tried to search on his own.]
