Locke will be exploring the crazy bin so he can get an idea of what he's up against, probably alone so he doesn't get bogged down too hard/bog down anyone. We can attest to his dumb luck by having them meet up somehow. B)

Sounds good. Anywhere in particular you'd want them to run into each other? Or do you have a direction in mind for where Locke would head first? Edgar tore his stitches last night climbing the recreational field wall, so he's probably going to try crossing through the sun room and cafeteria to get to the courtyard.

I figure they shouldn't run into each other right off the bat- give the guy some time to acclimate to his new setting.

/stares blankly at the map LMAO

He'll probably hit the recreational field on the first turn, and then proceed to make a few more wrong turns going around a circle. :C And somehow end up in the Sun Room after a while. Maybe get a little preoccupied with the library! But eventually he'll make it to the Courtyard where he'll wander for a bit.

So they'll have similar paths! Except Edgar will know where he's going.

Yeah, the map is kind of a beast. :x

There's usually something nasty waiting in the Sun Room/Cafeteria area, so it might take him a while to cross it. They could either meet up in there, or in the Courtyard? Locke would have an easier time crossing the wall if he wants to take the Rec Field -> Courtyard route.

Or we could totally just let them wander wherever and they could jump each other first chance they do cross paths. I'm game for any sort of shenanigans.

Yeah idk anything about that. :( He'd probably avoid any fights, as he doesn't have anything to protect himself with. Uhhhh but I'd figure something out! I can't see him doing much of anything else but exploring, so I think we can have them meet in the courtyard (or anywhere else, really), if Locke can catch Edgar there. B)

Apologies for this all being kind of complicated- way to enter the game. XD

But yes, courtyard sounds good! Locke can catch Edgar totally not stealing that weedwhacker, and there are a few sharp things in the gardener's shed he can use to defend himself.

Not too complicated, once you sit down and think about it! I like it.

Stealing? Ohoho, Edgar, you learned from the best. B)

Not stealing! Just... borrowing, improving, and then intending to return it once Landel is dead. He leaves stealing for the treasure hunters.
