The Fog Meme

Gosh, it's hard to see.

You are now somewhere in a fog shrouded land, filled with tons and tons of visibility obscuring fog of the worst kind. You can barely see beyond your face. You may have been thrown into a TV at some point, but your memory is a bit hazy about the exact circumstances surrounding you, this fog, and whoever else you might bump into.

Post to the meme.

Tag other people!

In case you need a prompt that's something more evocative than just 'gosh it's foggy' then you JUST heard a sound come from right behind you. Is it the person who just tagged you? Is it a Shadow, waiting to kill you? Is it a zombie or is it a wild bear foraging for berries? The possibilities are pretty endless.

And may the Force be with you.

[After what seems like hours, Badger finally stumbles upon another human figure in the mist. He approaches cautiously, as he's been hearing growls behind him, and if it's reavers, he knows running won't do much good. Still, the man doesn't seem to be scarred or mutilated or covered in blood, so he decides to give him a chance.]

You lost?

[Eliot stares as the other man for a moment, trying to make out his features through the fog. The growls pull his attention away and he points his gun toward them. Then the man speaks and it's all Eliot can do not to point his gun at the man instead.]

Not near as lost as you must be, Sterling. Or are you the one who soccer the dogs on me?

Name's Badger. Nice antique. You must be a collector. [Always the business man.] 'sit work? Not a fan of those growls myself.

Of course, it works. Wouldn't have any use for a gun that doesn't work. Hence why I don't carry antiques.

Sure, of course. [So the man is a bit crazy, but he is still a better bet than being alone in this mist.]

Got a proposition for you. We stick together. I watch your back, tell you if there's something that needs to be shot behind you.

[Eliot hesitates. This man sounds, hell, even talks, too much like Sterling for his comfort.]

I'll think about it if you can convince me that you didn't set those dogs on me.

If I had, would I be wandering about in this [Chinese for 'shit']?

[Badger gives him a 'come on now' kind of look.]

Was that Chinese?

[Badger raises one eyebrow in a very wtf-is-wrong-with-you look.]

Don't seem like you're from around here. Guess you'd best stick with me, then. Doubting it's dogs making those growls, Reavers is more like. I don't want to be caught standing here when they find us.

Reavers? What the hell are Reavers?

[But he nods his agreement anyway.]

The monsters at the edge of the 'Verse. [He makes sure his new friend is following, and starts off in the direction that seems to be going away from the growls.]

There's got to be buildings around here somewhere.

[Eliot grips his gun tight as he follows the other man.]

So where are we?

So where are they? Earth or somewhere in the 'Verse?

I feel like Eliot would survive in the 'Verse better than Badger would on Earth XD

Probably. So dogs or Reavers or something else entirely?

Something Eliot can reasonably defend them from. Reavers in small quantities?

A couple who got away from River, perhaps

Damn, that girl would be useful right about now.

She could even kick Eliot's ass
