[X beams a bit, waving to Booker and Mavis.] "Yeah! Hi! I'm the one who filled in that vacancy!" [He rubs the back of his head, looking a bit sheepish as water drips down his shoulders.] "I'm glad I managed to find my way over here too! It was way further out from the cabins than I thought it would be from the way Ed was describing it...!"
if this were a TV show, this would be a flashback montage showing him getting lost on the way to the diner, but it's not so this is just his version of the challenge
"...shit, am I lost?"
1. Find out which direction you need to be going to get back
[Well, okay, this isn't ideal. He's off to go introduce himself to the others, and already he's gone and gotten himself lost. This place is so much bigger than that island, sheesh! Well, maybe if he's lucky, he won't have been the first or only person to have GOTTEN lost here. He's going to hunt for any signs of a trail people might have taken to find their way to the village. Natural landmarks, manmade trail markers, even just grass that's flatter than the rest from being constantly walked on or the trees getting more and more sparse from encroaching civilization; anything that will lead him in the right direction.]
2. Make something to keep the rain off while you walk
[...Oh, right, the rain. That's gonna get irritating. Luckily, he has an easy solution! He takes the jacket hanging over his shoulders and pulls it over his head. This'll do nicely for now.]
3. Find something in the woods you can eat on the way so you have enough energy. If you need to, figure out how to cook it
[Ah, crap, right, he forgot to bring any food with him for the walk! ...or, more accurately, he didn't think he'd need to since his destination was a restaurant. He can't do much walking on an empty stomach. He doesn't have any weapons with him to do any sort of hunting, but his previous experiences have taught him to be resourceful. What better way to be resourceful than to go foraging? He'll scour the edges of the trail for anything he can find: fruits, berries, roots, leaves... some flowers like dandelions are edible, right?... bugs?? He remembers seeing crickets being sold as a snack at a gas station once. The bugs must be edible. Whatever works, works.]
