general / for any muse:

your muse asking the horsemen for help after being fucked over by a greedy / wealthy / evil corporation or person. the horseman don't usually take personal requests, but if your muse made a good case ( aka pulled on their heart strings ), how could they say no? especially if said evil person has hurt a lot of people.

your muse accidentally being seen with one / multiple of the horsemen, thus being taken in by the fbi to be questioned about where they're hiding. your muse can either actually have been there by accident, or they can actually be an acquaintance of the horsemen and are helping to keep their whereabouts hidden.

alternatively, your muse is fully helping the horsemen lie low, now that they're fugitives. this could mean giving them a safe house, helping them plan their next mission, etc.

going even further with that, your muse is someone who was significant in one of the horsemen's lives ( friend, family, ex, etc. ), and after they became fugitives, your muse went out trying to find them, only to get into the path of danger / trouble, now that the horsemen are wanted criminals.

your muse being caught in the crossfire of one of their acts, getting hurt, and the horsemen taking your muse back with them to patch them up, ( which could lead to the fbi thinking they took your muse hostage, if your muse's absence is greatly noticed ).

your muse is either a new magician looking to join or a rival magician that was recruited because of their skill. there's some animosity about a new horsemen, but they all have to work together to accomplish their main goal.

your muse is significant to the horsemen in some way ( friend, family, ex, etc. ), and since they've been somehow seen or connected to the horsemen, a wealthy / greedy / evil corp or person kidnaps them, trying to leverage your muse, forcing the horsemen to steal something for them.

muse specific:

your muse and dylan being partners or working together while he's in the fbi, and your muse being the first to find out that he's actually been a part of the horsemen the whole time. your muse has to choose between turning him in or hiding his secret, which could also get them in trouble if anyone else found out.

your muse is someone daniel once dated or slept with ( bc he's a playboy and cocky as hell ). your muse stumbles across him again after he becomes a fugitive, and has the opportunity to turn him in, if your muse feels like they got played, or not if they still have feelings for him.

your muse is an old friend of jack's, maybe someone he went to school with. your muse keeps trying to tell jack to get off the streets and stop stealing, to no prevail. cut to now, and jack visits your muse to prove that he's doing something better with his life, only for your muse to realize he's now the fbi's most wanted, which is the opposite of what your muse had wanted for him.

your muse and lula were in college together, for the few months that she decided to stay there. your muse and lula hit it off and decided to keep in contact, emailing / texting / etc. back and forth every single day. when lula stops replying, your muse tries to track them down, only to realize that they're now a wanted criminal, and being seen still communicating with them could get your muse into big trouble. lula, of course, would still like to stay in touch, despite the consequences.

just like quinton, your muse also lost a family member due to the negligence and greed of tressler insurance. quin and your muse meet at some sort of grief and loss support group and hit it off. he and your muse become close, and so your muse is concerned when quinton goes missing. tracking him down, quinton tries to get your muse to leave, knowing they'll be in deep shit if they're seen anywhere near the horsemen, but your muse refuses to leave quinton's side as he becomes a bigger and bigger fugitive.

@focusedecption : ❝ i would say 75% of the things i’m saying are either sarcastic or lying. ❞

addison shook her head in frustration, a part of her not surprised despite the linger of disappointment that his comment had left behind. "so what you're saying is, that there is no chance of being able to trust a single word that comes out of your mouth?" she asked, as if she needed any further clarification from merritt. "when are you ever not sarcastic or lying? so i can make a note for future reference?"

'well, let's see . . .' the mentalist begins counting on his fingers, closing one eye, than the other. 'there's christmas, my birthday. can't forget easter. add th'one, carry th'four . . . well, that'd be never, i guess, wouldn't it?' hands drop as he gives his stare back to addision, tooth gapped grin spreading across his features. 'guess that's just how i was raised. sorry 'bout that, but hey — i tried t'warn you. and you can't fault me for tryin','

'are you kiddin' me?! that's freakin' awesome!' she shouldn't be gawking, she knows that; it's something lula has always had a problem with, staring at the strange and unusual. but this? this was way more than that, more than she could have ever expected, and definitely more than she's ever seen. eyes glance over lily's blade, mouth slightly agape as she gives an incredulous laugh. 'i mean, come on! look at that thing, that's . . . can i touch it? no, that's totally rude to ask. how long have you had it?' @bladedflower.
