   Summary

   On a walk through Toad Town, Luigi ends up accidentally running into someone he didn't expect. Funny how your whole perception on a guy could change after one conversation.

   Summary

   Rochelle, Ellis, Coach, and Nick arrive AFTER the Vannah Hotel burns, and without the helicopter and graffiti to guide them they take a different path on their search for rescue. The apocalypse brought them together, and it may just tear them apart again... or, to pieces.

   Character development and plot-heavy, Blind Man's Bluff has a primary focus on the Nick/Ellis pairing while spanning the full breadth of an alternate campaign route.
