Character Spotlight: Bishop (Patreon)

Trying some new format this month (Since I'm working two jobs this month I'm gonna be a liiiiittle light on writing haha). This Tuesday, I'm gonna post a minor character of mine that's in THETA, and open up for IC Q&A kinda things~? Who knows how this'll play out? Hopefully it'll be fun, 'cause I wanna do these for the next few weeks x3

"Bishop is a friendly mutt, if not the brightest of the bunch. He's a rather excitable dog, always eager to make those around him feel safe and protected. He might be a little overbearing at times and forget about personal space, but at least he's soft and warm - as long as you don't mind his pecs squashing you or being squeezed tight in his arms. He spends a lot of his time exercising, and frequently enters marathons, delighting in the simple bliss of running freely for hours and hours. He can get a little overly competitive though, and loves a challenge."

INT. THEATRE - STAGE

Phirae, a small, excitable black cat, bounces across the stage to two chairs. He whisks one away and leaves it behind the curtain, before dragging Bishop, a dog a couple of feet taller than him, over to the remaining chair.

Phirae: So! Heyyy big guy. Thanks for helping out today. Big boss gryph's saying this'll be good for 'character morale', whatever that means. I know you're busy but it's great to have you help out tonight. 

Phirae gestures towards the chair. Bishop sits.

Phirae sits on Bishop's lap.

Phirae: I'm just...gonna...settle in snuggling on your chest while I ask these questions though. You don't mind, right? Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrh~

Bishop: Not at all, little kitten. ...You do have your own chair though? You're not going to sit on everybody's lap?

Phirae: Hey, I'm the one asking questions here! Ahem. We'll start of with the basics. Who are you? And how are you, whilst I'm at it?

Bishop: Isn't that what the opening thing was for? 

Phirae shrugs.

Bishop: I'm Bishop. A beauceron by breed...mostly. You can usually find me in the park or the gym in my free time. Early mornings, or late afternoon. If I'm not heading out for food, that is.

Bishop: And I'm doing very well. Your purring makes for a snuggly rest, kitten.

Bishop ruffles the top of Phirae's head.

Phirae: Prrrrh prrrrh prrrrrrrrrrr~ Okay, but what makes you, you? WHY is Bishop? 

Bishop: That's...not a very good question. But I used to work for a security company, which was how we met, wasn't it? You remember, right? You were up on the tables in a bar, and when I tried to get you down, you said the only way you were going to leave was through me. And then...you did.

Phirae (Visibly embarassed): Y-yeah, I remember that...Prrrrrh...

Bishop: They didn't keep me long after that. Company policy on devouring rowdy patrons.

Phirae: O-oh...Sorry, I didn't know-

Bishop: It's okay, I made more money blogging afterwards, anyway.

Phirae: Blogging?

Bishop: Lifestyle things. Working out. Cooking. Eating. Mostly the eating. People would buy me lots of food. Or...y'know. Just send themselves.

Phirae: You never told me you had one of those! I'd've donated something...

Phirae runs a paw over Bishop's torso. Bishop growls and playfully shakes Phirae.

Phirae: Okay, okay, enough of that. Last one before I open up the floor and I fall asleep on ya and this goes off the rails. How big are ya, Bishop~?

Bishop: I'm seven foot three. I thought you knew that? You know how tall I am. It's written in your notes right there.

Phirae: No I mean, uh...How big are you? Like...y'know? Mrewr~

Bishop: ...I don't get it.

Phirae: [Whispering]

Bishop: Oh! Oh... Ten and a half.

Bishop: ...I thought you knew that too. 

Phirae: A-and there we go! I guess that's a good enough way to start this off! Drop comments below!
