Plot 103: Out of Body (inspired by: fix-meim-brokenxx)
Muse A has the power of projection--the ability to leave their physical body behind for a time and travel elsewhere. Muse A is corporeal in their projected state, able to interact with others and engage all of their senses, but they are always bound by the limitations of their dormant body's stamina. Each time Muse A projects out of their body, it takes a toll on them physically. If they only project for a few minutes, the toll is hardly noticeable. However, the longer they remain away from their physical body, the weaker it becomes and the less time it is able to sustain another projection.
Option A) Muse A is physically disabled/chronically ill with a condition that leaves them unable to travel far from their home. When they project into the world, they can experience life as an able-bodied, healthy person for the first time in years (or ever). They utilize the opportunity to experience all they are missing out on as much as they can, despite the toll it takes on their already poor health. Muse A meets Muse B while projecting one day and finds great comfort/interest in them. Over time, Muse A focuses on projecting simply so that they can meet up with Muse B more and more, eventually establishing a relationship. Muse A's need for a sense of normalcy keeps them from telling Muse B the truth, until that day when Muse A is too weak to hold their projected form and they 'disappear' right before Muse B's eyes..
Option B) Muse A is being held captive as a prisoner of war with no means nor hopes of escaping to safety. When they're not faced with unspeakable tortures at the hands of captors, they are left in abject isolation--enough to drive a sane person to desperation. Muse A uses their projection power in order to escape their bleak circumstances, if only for a few hours. Muse A projects themselves across the world one afternoon, after their captors have gone, and encounters Muse B. Though they have little time together, Muse B quickly becomes a bright spot away from Muse A's horrible reality. Gradually, Muse A begins to hope that Muse B can help them be rescued..
