send one for my muse's reaction!
“I know you think you got a handle on what this is gonna be.” “Do you remember our last conversation, [name]?” “Have I done something wrong?“ “There’s something different about you. About the way you think.“ “The hosts are suppose to stick to their scripts. This isn’t a minor improvisation.” “Good morning, [name]. Bring yourself back online.” “I brought you a gift. I used to read… This story to my son at night. I thought you might enjoy it.” “Dear, dear, How queer everything is today. And yesterday, things went on just as usual. I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night.” “I guess people like to read about the things that they want the most and experience the least.” “Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is… Who in the world am I?” “Morning, cowboy.“ “You really ought to talk to someone about your poster, [name]. That likeness is a crime in itself.” “Sure I can't tempt you inside? Just to express my gratitude.” “I thought you said we couldn’t get shot.” “Yeah, well, we can’t get killed. Wouldn’t be much of a game if they can’t shoot back.” “Then stay here. I want a little adventure.“ “I got a late start this morning. Didn’t get much sleep last night.” “Forgive me if I’m not sympathetic.” “I specifically asked you about whether [name] was going to be a problem, and you assured me he wasn’t.” “Don’t you talk to me that way.” “Do you see that? He’s talking to someone.“ “Go. Handle the stray. Do something that’s actually in your job description.” “I’ll do a little more digging and get our friend here back upstairs.” “You know, if you wanted to play cowboy, you could’ve just used your employee discount.” “Proposing to engage me in a gun battle?” “Well, I’d challenge you to a fistfight, but the way I heard it, you only like to tussle with working women.” “Why are we going to handcuff a dead man?” “Oh, you’re new. Not much of a rind on you. I’ll give you a discount.“ “Don’t mind me. Just trying to look chivalrous.” “You gonna tell me where you been?” “You know if I could stay right here with you, I would.” “What if I don’t want to stay here? It’s just sometimes I feel like. The world out there is calling me… Whispering, ‘there’s something more.’“ “You’ve traveled all over these parts. Isn’t there anywhere we could go?” “Well, there is a place I heard about down south… Where the mountains meet the sea. They say the water's so pure there, It’ll wash the past clean off you and you can start again.” “’Someday’ sounds a lot like the thing people say. When they actually mean ‘never.’ Let’s not go someday, [name]. Let’s go now.” “Before I met you, [name], I was a different man. And I got some reckoning to do before I can deserve someone like you. But I’m close. I’m close to making things right. And someday soon, we will have the life we’ve both been dreaming of.” “The coward dies a thousand deaths. The valiant taste of death but once.” “You look upon the face of true evil, you ain’t liable to forget.“ “Some hands weren’t meant to pull a trigger. Perhaps it’s for the best.” “You have to leave again, don’t you?” “You know if I could stay right here with you, I would.” “Promise me you’ll come back.” “I didn’t sign up for this crazy shit. I told you we should’ve done the riverboat thing, man.” “What, are you gali-fucking-leo?” “With due respect, sir, I’m not sure you’ve told me the entire truth about this situation.” “I suppose I’m glad for you. At least you have a way of forgetting.” “This pain… It’s all I have left of him.” “See? This is why I hide behind sarcasm.” “Imagine there are two versions of yourself… One that feels these things and asks these questions, and one that’s safe. Which would you rather be?“ “I’m sorry. I’m trying, but I still don’t understand. There aren't two versions of me. There’s only one. And I think when I discover who I am, I’ll be free.“ “You should be getting back, [name], before someone misses you.”

he kept a watchful eye on the boy as his hands also lowered, still smiling and trying to present himself just as friendly as he possibly could. he would take however much alliance and even temporary friendship he could find anymore; it wasn’t exactly easy to live alone and was even harder to live without even the briefest help from strangers.
and what did another dead kid do to help the world?

“not a problem, man,” Lee replied, trying to sound relaxed. “don’t plan on it unless you give me a reason to. need, uh… need people anymore to get by, you know?
he hoped Russell didn’t feel as tense and awkward as he did.

     For a valid reason, Russell had quite difficult time to relax around the man, even when he has only come off as nothing but kind so far - a lot kinder than most of the strangers he’d come across these days. He sighed heavily, pressing his left palm against his right arm, rubbing the fabric of the hoodie slowly. Yeah.. um..  you could tell from the way he stuttered that he was still a bit unsure of this all & the stranger’s kindness definitely was unexpected to him. “ I’m.. on my way to Statesboro. My gran lives there & I gotta make sure she’s okay. he explained to Lee, his eyes briefly looking at the ground. What even were the chances of her survival ? She was old & this shit has been going on for months now. But if there was even a tiny chance that she would still be out there, Russell found the journey to be worth the try.

     Awkwardly, he rubbed the back of his neck as he side-eyed Lee. You um.. are you goin’ anywhere ? “ he wouldn’t lie, travelling companion would be useful to him, mostly because he had nothing that resembled of a firearm right now. However, the downside is that they just met. While Lee seemed friendly right now, couldn’t he just stab him whenever he was sleeping & just steal his stuff ? That was a possibility.

@nctrouble liked for a starter.

“Are you friendly?” Ashe had noticed a guy about her age passing by. He was obviously still normal, or as normal as someone could be in this world. She kept her gun at her side, ready to grab it if he was a threat. Marina had been hunting for some food and left her to guard the camp.

     It was easy to tell from his expression that he, in fact, was rather nervous by the stranger’s encounter. It was never easy to tell who was there to harm him & who was there to help him; you shouldn’t trust anyone these days. Y-yeah !! I ain’t here to cause any trouble, please trust me. he bit his lip tightly as his arms were slightly lifted upwards as a form of showing defeat. Noticing a gun on her side, Russell knew to be careful about his actions & words.

SEND ME A “ 🔥 “ FOR AN UNPOPULAR OPINION.    /   accepting.

probably not big news comin from me but um yikes i legit care more about the 400 days cast that had 20 minutes of screentime than any of the characters from the new frontier ( & i don’t mean they are necessarily…..bad characters… i just didn’t feel connected to them at all )

IT WAS VERY CLEAR very fast that this was a kid. even still, Lee lowered his gun just a fraction to look the stranger over and ensure he held no weapons. if it was anything else, he couldn’t see it at the moment; he didn’t see a handgun in the back of the kid’s pants so hopefully there wasn’t one concealed.

“don’t panic,” Lee spoke with a firm tone, nodding his head. “not gonna shoot you if you aren’t gonna shoot me. i’m puttin’ my gun down—are we good?
the action was slow and careful, deliberately done until the gun was put away once again. his hand came back up, palm splayed to mirror the submissive gesture to the stranger as he nodded another time. this time it came with the offer of a small smile as he said, “hey. i’m Lee.”

     His eyes wide open, Russell stared at the stranger terrified as he waited for him to say something. At least the kid looked sort of harmless (despite the fact that the term “harmless” has lost its meaning these days) & there was no gun to be seen anywhere on him. The boy would definitely come across a lot more hostile if he’d be pointing a weapon at his way too. 

     Swallowing heavily, he then slowly nodded his head as Russell firmly kept his eyes on the man. He watched him place the firearm away from his sight; he was actually surprised the situation had escalated this well this fast. As the stranger’s hand was lifted up, Russell could feel his heartbeat slowly getting back to its normal pace. At the same time, he was relieved but also, doubtful. Did he really give in that easily? He hardly met that kind of people these days. Being his paranoid self, he decided it was for the best to cooperate with the stranger & at the same time, keep his guard up, just in case

     He finally brought himself to answer the stranger who introduced himself as a man named ‘Lee’. “ I.. Russell. he said as he lowered his arms back down. It was rather obvious the young man still felt tense & slightly afraid; anything could still go wrong. I, um.. thanks for not shootin’ me I suppose. “
