#i imagine the gangs hideout is sorta like the lodge in canon but they have a campsite in the woods as their base

probably talked abt it or mentioned it on the drawing back then but some things abt Dylan getting Schrodinger in the western au:

was thinking he's out doing tasks for the day, possibly get info for jobs, going around town, getting supplies etc. he steps out of one of the general stores by a near by town, w food and other supplies for him and the rest of the gang, when he see's a poor lil cat near by wandering alone, possibly hungry.

Dylan being Dylan he automatically goes over to the cat, he's a bit dirty but he's very friendly and sweet especially w strangers, Dylan's already in love w the fuzzy guy and totally distracted from the task he's even supposed to be doing lolol he spends a lot of time sitting near him and petting him, even giving him some canned fish as a treat.

some time later Dyl realized how much time he wasted just spending time in town playing and feeding his new friend, hurrying off to get to his horse and not get distracted even more, he looks back to the little feline sitting looking at him patiently before hopping up on the saddle. as dramatic as it sounds, he couldn't turn away from him after looking at him in the eyes, he felt like his heart would shatter if he abandoned his new friend, so ofc Dylan scoops him up and rides back to camp, carefully as he can, w his new best friend and pet Schrodinger 💕

and ofc, since Dylan founded him and took him in, plus bonding w him, he takes the most responsibility to look out and care for him. Schrodinger also stays/sleeps in Dylan's room but he still roams around freely elsewhere in camp. Schrodinger is also like a huge support to Dylan bc I hc he gets him after losing his hand (in the au) so having a lil friend by his side helps him a lot 💖
