Who the hell are you? - Texas Red
@sharpshotshootout
Mystic only gives Texas a cursory glance before closing his eyes again, scooting further back into the hidey-hole between the train cars. The spider crawls over face to hide on his neck, and he grimaces as it nearly pokes his eye out for the fifth time that day.
“Mystic,” he says shortly. “Who are you?” It’s clear he’s unaware of the derailed train being Texas’ place of residence, he’d been shot in the leg fleeing from a lone drac patrol on his way to the market- just a graze, but he’d needed somewhere to stop and rest up before he crashed.
“I’m definitely not,” Mystic confirms, taking Texas’ hand. “Not much different back east, probably a lot worse, all things considered.” He doesn’t seem keen on elaborating, but his tone says enough- whatever it is, is just as bad as Better Living.
He takes in the sight of the train cars properly, and he seems almost surprised at just how big they are. It must have taken Texas forever to put everything together, and he’s surprised it’s not a more well-known landmark.
Texas nods, leading Mystic into main car feeling some sense of pride, seeing Mystic’s surprise at the train and gestures to the worn sofa. “Sit while I get the first aid.” He says, wanting to ask what ‘back east’ meant, but he knew better than to pry. Texas grabs the tub he stores all the medical supplies, tossing out the things meant for his arm before dropping it next to Mystic. He hands him a bottle of water too, just in case.

“Yep.” He heaves himself up with a slight groan; he’s favoring one leg, but it doesn’t seem to be too bad. The spider disappears back into his pocket as it is wont to do, and he frowns slightly as he leans against the side of the car.
“Why are you helping me?” he asks. His eyes are still half-closed, and he looks remarkably pale; since he’s not badly wounded, it must have just freaked him out.
Texas huffs, reaching out a hand so Mystic has another source of stability when he starts walking into the carriage. “Well I don’t really want you to bleed out on my front step.” he says, and waves his offered arm when Mystic doesn't take it.
“Come on. You’re obviously not from ‘round here, I can give ya’ some pointers while we get that leg patched up.” Texas suggests, no longer too worried about what threat this man might pose. His lingering unease is due to the possibility of dracs searching for said man... an outsider in the zones means there’s places beyond the radiation, means there’s still people alive.

Texas glares warily at the spider the man is calmly letting climb all over him. He’s on edge even though its obvious this odd stranger is hurt. Hardly anyone comes by the train, much less choosing to hide in between carriages, so it had been very startling to find him tucked against the small railing on the crooked train car.
“‘m Texas Red.” He says cautiously, suddenly wishing he had brought some kind of weapon- then again, this was his train! He had no reason to carry weapons around his home. “Did any dracs see you come near the train?”
Him and Running Gun had gone huge lengths to make it seem abandoned enough for the patrols to completely ignore it. It had taken almost a year, and the precautions Texas took to keep it that way now that Running was gone were just routine now. This man could have completely ruined it.
Mystic shakes his head. The dracs had barely gotten a shot in before he’d disappeared into a ravine, making his way along the narrow stone path at the bottom until it started closing in, then he’d climbed up and headed for what he’d found to be the nearest decent shelter- it’d just so happened to be the train.
He brings a hand up to his shoulder to pet the spider, and it grabs his hands in its two front legs and moves to rest on the hollow of his throat. “Nothing followed me here, I can assure you of that much,” he says. His voice is strange, low and quiet, like he’s making an effort not to speak loudly and pitching it down ever-so-slightly. He doesn’t have the telltale Zones accent either, nor that of someone from the City- it’s strange and unfamiliar.
Texas frowns at the man’s accent, so different from anything he’s ever heard before. He curls his prosthetic into a fist, relaxing it a second later and repeating it- a habit he did when he was thinking. The spider was kind of creeping him out.
“Ok,” he says, a bit roughly. “Ok. Can you get up? ‘S a good hidin’ spot, but inside the cars would better. Might as well get you patched up too.” At least if the man was inside, Texas would have an eye on him. Didn’t seem like much of a threat, actually. He’d give directions on how to leave without being seen, that was the important part.
Misc. scenario meme.
Send one for the following scenario. Add ‘reverse’ for our muse’s roles to be reversed where applicable.
[FREEDOM] - My muse is in recovery from being mind controlled/brainwashed for an extended period of time, and is currently living with your muse.
[HAUNTING] - My muse is a supernatural or mythical creature of some kind (feel free to specify) whose territory includes your muse’s home or town.
[CHAMPAGNE] - Our muses went to a party together, and have been flirting and making passes at one another all night. Now the party’s over, and they’ve made it home together, but there’s still unresolved tension between them.
[REAPPEARANCE] - Someone from my muse’s past has resurfaced - for better or worse - and they come to your muse for advice, shelter, or perhaps to celebrate.
[REVEAL] - My muse confesses a secret to yours that they either never talk about, or haven’t told anyone about in a long time.
[TENSION] - Our muses have been arguing, and things have gotten… oddly heated. It’s difficult to tell whether they’re about to break into a fight, or start kissing.
[BETRAYAL] - Your muse discovers that mine has been lying to them about their intentions, actions or history all this time, and confronts them on it.
[AGONY] - Your muse rescues mine from the hands of the enemy, and finds them in terrible shape.
[COMFORT] - My muse takes the day off to shower your muse with the attention, comfort and affection they’ve been needing for a while.

Val watches the hand signs that Run was using, staring with a mix of mild fascination that’s mixed with confusion. It’s clear that he doesn’t understand what they’re doing, but when Texas seems to respond to the hand gestures, he quickly figures it out.
Instead of answering Texas (and Run’s) question, he asks one of his own. “Are you mute? I mean… Can you talk?”
Running Gun shrugs, and gestures for Texas to explain. He sighs, smiling.
“When they want to, though it’s difficult. Don’t quite know what happened, but somethin fucked up their throat a while ago. The most they can do is whisper, really. So we just use ZSL.” He explains, waggling his fingers. Running Gun beams, and points to Val, signing ‘water?’
“You need any water, kid?” Texas translates, signing back what he knows about the young killjoy’s history. He knows they’ll want to help, whether Val likes it or not.
Make Me Feel
15: your muse is sick in bed and my muse takes care of them
Texas hands Val some water, sitting next to him on the old couch in the main train car. The younger ‘joy has been sick for a few days now, and is finally letting Tex and Run take care of him. He’s mostly just been offering comfort as Running Gun worries over Val and the horrendeous cough that seems to rattle his whole body.
They managed to find some medicine, and has been giving a dose to Val every couple of hours, as well as some of their peaches and noodles. Texas pets Val’s hair when he’s overcome with another coughing fit.
“Deep breath, kid.” He murmurs, trying not to show his concern.
For the first few days, Val continuiously insisted that he was fine; that he was perfectly healthy and that nothing was wrong. He resisted any form of help that was offered, too; didn’t want extra water or supplies, wouldn’t do anything to bring his fever down, nor would he accept the medicine.
But after a while, his symptoms became too much and he found his body exhausted from pretending nothing was wrong. So he reluctantly allowed the pair to take care of him - though made it clear how he didn’t like to be ‘babied’ whenever they checked up on him. Even while ill, Val still wanted to keep up the 'tough guy’ personality that he had been trying to go for.
“I–” he starts to talk before his body erupts into another coughing fit. He turns his head away from Texas so that he’s not coughing directly into his face, half sitting up as he tried to take in a breath.
Texas gently rubs Val’s back, soothing the young killjoy as he nearly hacks up a lung. It was worrying, and Texas was trying his best to not hover over Val too much, to let the kid keep up his rough personality. Running Gun keeps checking Val’s forehead for fever anyways.
“Don’t try to talk, it’s ok.” Texas says, pulling the blanket next to him over Val’s shoulders.
He seems to be getting worse. It’s frightening-sickness in the zones is not something to be tough about. It has the potential to take over your body much quicker than you think. Granted, Killjoy’s immune systems are most likely shit, which doesn’t help.
Running Gun starts putting water in the old metal pot they found, bringing it outside to use the burning sand to heat it up.
“Running’s making some tea, that’ll help your cough.” Texas reassures, tucking Val’s shivering frame against his side.
