[And somewhere in the jungle, there is a wandering detective in a drab tan suit, currently following something that might be a path, and might be a game trail, but should at least go somewhere sooner or later. His current mission: See if there's signs of other human life!
He may have been wandering off the beaten path for a while now.]

[While he can do quite a bit if he finds tracks in the trail itself ... wilderness tracking is not his strong suit; city boy is a city boy.]

[Besides that, he's weathering it rather well, if coping via resigned indignation.]

I believe there are more important matters at hand. Such as you figuring out where you are.

Oh that's simple; I'm apparently in a jungle. [Arms crossed] And somehow, knowing why someone is following me seems like a more immediate riddle to solve.

[acoldbluesmile.livejournal.com]

Good. That's one part of the big puzzle you've solved. And as for me, well, I've told you my answer before, right?

[stalking_horse]

Not exactly. You never did answer what kind of clue you'd expect to find by following me.

A clue to the island itself. I was expecting you to accidentally stumble onto something new that no one has ever seen here.

...Somehow I'd imagine "things no one has ever seen before" would not be found by following paths.
