Role Reversal ** *Angst* TAKEN BY UNDEADVAMPIRE
Muse A (My character) is a high-powered executive in an extremely successful, Fortune 500 ranked company. They also harbor a well-guarded secret. Off the clock, the busy executive lives a submissive lifestyle, frequenting clubs to indulge their needs and desires. Muse B is looking to get their foot in the door at a major company in the city’s financial district. After many grueling interviews and more than their fair share of rejections, Muse B is hired for the position of Muse A’s personal assistant. Muse A is incredibly demanding and has no problem letting an assistant go for something as trivial as using sugar instead of Splenda in their latte, but Muse B is determined to wow Muse A with their focus and relentless drive to succeed, refusing to be expendable like so many of Muse A’s previous personal assistants. When Muse B shows up in Muse A’s office for the first day of work, they are both stricken by speechlessness. The recognition is instant and undeniable. Muse B was Muse A’s dominant at their last visit to the club just one week prior.
Room 133 TAKEN BY: YUNJAEISREALAKTF
Muse A (My character) has been admitted to a psychiatric hospital, and is currently undergoing a long term evaluation. Muse B is a volunteer at the hospital. They bring the families of the residents anything they may need, sit with patients that have no visitors, or simply act as a good listener when needed. A doctor on staff directs Muse B to Muse A, explaining that Muse A is very much alert, but does not respond to anyone that attempts to interact with them. The doctor suggests that Muse B sit with Muse A on the next day, perhaps reading them a novel or telling stories in the hopes that a fresh face who is neither staff nor patient will garner a positive response. Muse B signs in the following day with a copy of their favorite book in hand and sits at Muse A’s side to read. Muse A does not respond for days on end, but one afternoon they finally make eye contact with Muse B, the hint of a smile on their features, looking forward to continuing the story. Muse B is overwhelmed by the small gesture, suddenly hit by the realization that in spite of Muse A’s complete and utter silence, they have grown incredibly fond of them. As the novel progresses, so does the connection between volunteer and patient. Only when the last page has been read aloud does Muse A finally speak to Muse B.
Option 1 : Muse A has been faking all along in hopes of using insanity as their defense in a criminal court case against them. Muse B discovers this and is embarrassed and heartbroken.
Option 2 : Muse B confesses their feelings to Muse A, who reciprocates and in turn informs Muse B of the reason for their admittance to the hospital. Muse B promises to stand by Muse A, no matter what happens.
Obsessed TAKEN BY: METOCHAN
Muse A and Muse B were born in the same town and attended school together, but were never really more than casual acquaintances, despite Muse B’s best efforts to spark up a friendship. Muse A’s family relocates before they finish high school, but as an adult, Muse A decides to return to their hometown for work/college. As the years passed, Muse B’s infatuation with Muse A evolved into an unhealthy obsession. Up until this point it had remained a fascination indulged from afar, daydreams and fantasies of what might have been, but when Muse A returns to town, Muse B takes it as a sign that they are destined to be together - no matter what the cost. Muse B begins tracking Muse A’s movements. It starts off innocently enough, operating silently through social media but quickly progresses to more and more daring endeavors. Muse B begins to leave notes and trinkets on Muse A’s car, sends cryptic emails, and drives past Muse A’s house/apartment hoping to catch a glimpse of the face that constantly dominates their thoughts. Muse A is rattled and beginning to feel paranoid, but unsuspecting of Muse B who they don’t even remember from all those years ago. The ‘secret admirer’ act only sates Muse B for so long, leading them to finally take things to the next level, following Muse A home from class/work. When Muse B can no longer take being in the shadows, they break into Muse A’s home and corner them in order to confess their love.
Will Muse A be flattered by the extreme efforts, furious because of the invasion of their privacy, or will they be consumed with fear?
Unteachable TAKEN BY: BTS_MOCHI
Muse A and Muse B meet one night at the carnival that comes to town every year before school starts. They hit it off well—maybe they kiss, maybe more. They exchange numbers and agree to go out sometime—there was undeniable chemistry that they both wanted to explore. All of that comes crashing down when Muse A, who is a senior in high school, walks into class on the first day and finds Muse B sitting behind the teachers desk. How will they cope with the discovery that a relationship would be illegal? Will Muse B break it off before it goes any farther? Will Muse A be disgusted and beg to switch classes? Or will they work something out, both knowing that, if caught, Muse B will lose their job, and Muse A will be expelled—or worse?
Optional tweak: Muse A is a college student and Muse B is a professor.
Temporary Bliss. AVAILABLE
muse a and muse b have began a friends with benefits relationship. neither has ever had feelings for the other, but as time wears on, muse a begins to feel something. it’s the late nights, the comfortable friendship that they have with one another. it’s the going out all the time and learning more about one another. it’s the little things, like the way muse b crinkles their nose when they laugh, or the way muse a can be themselves around muse b without being judged.
after a while, muse a realizes that they can’t keep slipping under the sheets with muse b anymore without any strings attached, and eventually tells them what they’re feeling. after that, things get weird. muse b refuses to open up and feel for muse a, because they’re “incapable”, and they had “established rules in the beginning”. they no longer can function as they used to, and muse a even considers lying and saying that they no longer feel anything for muse b, just so that they can have those moments of temporary bliss again.
muse a isn’t sure if a few moments of pleasure are worth even more moments of pain, and muse b is scared that they might not be able to remain “emotionally unavailable”. (Inspired by the song The Cab- Temporary Bliss)
New boss. AVALIABLE
muse a is muse b’s boss and at work they haaaaaaate each other (like it’s actually a tad worrying and people wonder why muse b hasn’t fired muse a yet or why muse a doesn’t just quit). one night muse a is feeling lonely and goes to a singles night at a bar, and guess who’s there but muse b! the two agree not to bring their work feuds outside the office and to not ruin the night, and decide to talk as if they’re meeting for the very first time.
and, what do you know, they hit it off. the night ends with a romantic night at muse a’s house, but come morning, both agree it was a foolish move and declare it a “one time thing”. things at work go back to normal.
but then, the next weekend, they run into each other again. and again. and again.
soon, muse a and muse b have a passionate, semi-romantic relationship (not that they’ll admit it, of course) – but only on weekends, only when there’s no one around to see. and if you were to ask either of them, they’d assure you that they still despise one another. but things get more and more intense, and the relationship begins seeping into work hours as well, not being able to contain the ual tension even in the office. muse a and muse b are still unsure of their true feelings, and if they get caught, they could lose their jobs.
