bodyguard au

[reanbeanmachine]

[Modern fantasy Erebonia that isn't quite as wholesome as normal Erebonia because then how could we have potential gross. Anyway. There's a certain organization out there very interested in the supernatural, and not so interested in their ethics when pursuing it. Which is how they've come to purchase a human girl from a mercenary group. No Zephyr, that group has disbanded from the death of their boss, but a girl from Zephyr, which makes he a capable fighter and a desirable person to buy slash hire as a bodyguard for a certain unethical experiment.

The thing is, that organization is still not sure what to do with their very powerful but inconveniently nice and even more inconveniently unstable half-demon, so for now Fie has simple been assigned the task of bodyguard. Which means she is shipped to the facility her charge lives in, where she'll share a living space with and training facilities with "Rean". Living conditions aren't too bad honestly, and while their are stuff around for various things the part of the facility she's dumped in is left mostly alone.

Part of the problem, she may have heard on the way, is the subject is not someone with much self-control over his demonic changes, and while most of the time it's safe to interact with, part of Fie's job might include suppressing the experiment subject, especially on missions.

Missions, however, won't be for a while. They need to get to know each other.

So welcome to your new home, it's a complex of several rooms of various types with many normal facilities including an entertainment room and training areas, and of course rooms for herself and her new mission.

Said mission is not in the first room she looks, she'll have to explore to find him in the kitchen.]

Nothing at all?

[homeandgarden]

Work and training for work kept me pretty busy until recently.

[reanbeanmachine]

What changed?

[homeandgarden]

...Our leader died, and the corps split up. Or... well, it's more like they disappeared on me.

[reanbeanmachine]

...Why?

[homeandgarden]

[tucks her knees up to her chest, so she's very carefully balanced on the arm of his chair.]

I don't know.

[reanbeanmachine]

So is that how you ended up here

[homeandgarden]

Yeah. Girl's gotta eat, and all that. And it's not easy landing more legitimate jobs alone, let alone looking like I do.

[reanbeanmachine]

[He looks concerned.] I guess this doesn't really count as a very legitimate job, huh? Hopefully it won't be too bad.

[homeandgarden]

It's extremely illegitimate.

[but she shrugs]

Here's hoping.

[reanbeanmachine]

Hopefully it'll just end up being boring.

[homeandgarden]

I'd rather not hope to be bored... but those really are the best jobs, soooo. Yeah. Here's hoping for boring.

[reanbeanmachine]

Other than training and testing time here is pretty free. You could read or play as many games as you want.

[homeandgarden]

[nods agreeably]

Works for me.

[reanbeanmachine]

Anything you're interested in?

[homeandgarden]

Depends on what you've got. I already took a look around, but show me what you like to do around here?

[reanbeanmachine]

Mostly read and play games and train. I guess I work on cooking too. But I never really have someone to do any of it with, so if you like we can try doing things together.

[homeandgarden]

[she nods again.]

We should try that.

[reanbeanmachine]

Okay. How about some video games? [He's kind of excited for someone to hang with, and honestly, they should train together and that's also exciting but maybe after she's had more than a nap on the couch.]

[homeandgarden]

Sounds good to me.

[stands and stretches.]

I haven't played any before, though, so go easy on me.

[reanbeanmachine]

Hm, I'll consider it. [He's getting up too, leading the way to games!!!]

[homeandgarden]

That sounds like you're not considering it at all.

[TO GAMES]

[reanbeanmachine]

Haha, maybe not. But you can handle it, right?

[homeandgarden]

Guess we'll find out.

[reanbeanmachine]

[Well he will at least teach her how to play and let her learn before trying to kick her ass at games. It's gonna be!! fun!! even when he loses he's having the most fun he's had in like, since he can remember.]
