Eager to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life for the weekend, Muse A retreats to the great outdoors for a little camping. Determined to spend the entire trip "off the grid", Muse A shuts off their cell phone before setting off to find the best spot to pitch their tent. As the sun starts to set and the temperature in the woods begins to drop, Muse A is struck with the realization that they've left something important in the trunk of their vehicle [blankets, matches, cooking supplies, etc.]. Muse A tries to hurry back to the car while there's still some daylight, but it's not as close to the camp site as they thought and it isn't long before they get lost. Breaking their own no-tech rule when they start to panic, Muse A is only able to get GPS signal on their cell phone for a few minutes before the battery dies. Luckily, Muse B is camping just a few yards away from where Muse A winds up. It's Muse B's first time camping and they can't help but be startled by every snap of twig or rustle of leaves they hear around them. When they hear Muse A nearing their camp site, they're relieved to have some company.

Optional:

Muse B invites Muse A to stay at camp with them until morning

One of the muses is a criminal on the run, laying low from the authorities

Muse A and Muse B actually know one another and they aren't friends
