Feel free to reverse "my muse / your muse" !
Our muses meet at the trading post. Your muse has something mine wants desperately. What will it cost?
My muse meets your muse on the road. Everyone knows that you're not supposed to walk on the old roads, they're too exposed. Why are both our muses risking it?
Both our muses are travellers in a small party. We're all strangers to each other, but have been walking together for days--safety in numbers. Tonight around the campfire is the first time any of our party has opened up about their personal stake in this journey. Will your muse open up too, or keep their secrets?
Your muse finds my muse injured in the wilderness. You may or may not have the supplies to help.
Your muse finds my muse in the wilderness. Your muse should be afraid.
Our muses are both starving. We haven't found any old-world provisions in weeks, and there has been no wild game. Your muse has started looking at mine in a funny way...could they really be thinking, "it's you or me?"
My muse accidentally stumbles upon your muse's secure shelter. You have plenty of medical and food supplies, but we are complete strangers. Your muse has been alone for a long time. Does your muse let mine in?
My muse is at the gates of your highly secured private community. There are very strict rules about who is allowed in and who isn't. Does my muse pass the test? (If not, what happens next?)
Whatever disease it was that ended the world, my muse has started showing signs of it. We thought we were both immune. Could this be a mutation to the disease, or was my muse lying the whole time?
My muse realizes that your muse has been secretly hoarding supplies.
My muse realizes that your muse has been hiding a big secret.
My muse is hunting your muse. Your muse either knows exactly why, or has no clue why they're being pursued.
Our muses meet in an abandoned convenience store. We show up at the same time, and agree to split whatever we find inside.
