Bramblepoint you are not the butterfly i expected

One of the good things about coming somewhere alone is that there wasn't anyone to be responsible for aside from those you chose to be.  No annoying siblings for him, nor anything else of that sort.  It had it's pluses and minuses, but right now this chick was a good example for going places alone, no matter what side of the card you were on. Hey, I was headed to the lake not Spike Central -- there's perfectly good places to camp out over here instead of Caltroptopia, I've got no idea why you guys set up camp here instead of going somewhere more comfortable.  Also no fun to drag geese through the region, but at least here he was retrieving someone who could carry themselves along under their own power.

And so, they headed off towards the Caldera, even though they weren't going to arrive there at the same time.  Did this even count as a successful recruitment?  Oh hell if he knew.
