OPEN: mission - protect the pageant cutie

[volcanic]

Who: Iceland, Latvia, and you!
What: Turning away suitors so Juliet Cassecoeur can be cute in peace
When: Throughout the month
Where: Juliet's place of residence
Rating: PG. Let me know if that changes.



A.
While not the most intimidating person, Iceland figured keeping this lovely lady safe from suitors shouldn't be too hard-- he's argumentative enough, right? So it should be fine if he just snips at the other men and tell them to leave, right? Unfortunately some are more aggressive or insistant on seeing or talking to Juliet, and if Iceland's horrid temper doesn't drive them away, what will? He's not about to give up though. He really, really wants that money.

So what now: Do you help him shoo away some suitors? Perhaps you're a suitor? Maybe a curious bystander or a heckler. Either way, be careful of Iceland's eruptive mood swings...


B.
It really wasn't the most suitable mission for him, but then again pretty much none of them were. Latvia especially didn't have much going for him in the way of intimidation but he still took a dominant stance, scowling at anyone who looked like they might be causing trouble (although no matter how hard he tried he always looked more anxious than angry).

A job was a job though, if he was getting payed he might as well do his best. To anyone approaching he held out his palm and signaled for them to stop.
"Halt! State your business." It sounded very out of place coming from someone so short, even more so from the fact that Latvia was forcing himself to act as in control over the situation as possible. You could probably easily kick him out of the way.

After encountering Lithuania, Poland and someone who he really hoped wasn't actually Spain, Latvia shouldn't have been surprised to find Iceland staying no more than three doors down from him at the guild. It was still surreal though, to find familiar people in such an unfamiliar place.

It was better working with strangers though, and he figured they'd be able to accomplish more together than separately. Admittedly, he'd mainly taken Juliet's request at the promise of weaponry. While he prefered to avoid conflict he'd heard so many rumors about monsters he didn't want to take his chances.

Then again, maybe this wasn't such a good idea. He keeps reading the request again and again as he sat on the edge of his bed.

"I'm sorry, I think I was a bit eager. Maybe we should have just settled for opening pickle jars..."
