Yeah, Edd gives me a highly suspicious vibe... He definitely has ulterior motives, whether it just to be a part of something paranormal or has actual designs on the kids or the Fulcrum idk.
Plus, what 12-13 year old actually trusts grown-ups?? Johnny would definitely err on keeping up with the artifact since he actually got the ink.
"My mom always says she would love to go to Italy on vacation. I think there's a volcano there. Maybe I can throw it in there if we ever actually go!"
Now, that's an idea, the Monster Hunter Club abroad!
Replay a version of LOTR and end up throwing the Fulcrum into Mt. Vesuvius. The alternative is maybe Mt.St. Helens...I think it's due to erupt like maybe in the next year or two of the MH timeline!
@witchdoctor was Johnny drawing the birds, Ramon's portrait, etc. In his grandfather's heirloom notebook?
You haven't mentioned it so I assumed he was using regular paper.
Yes, just in regular paper. He probably has a dozen regular notebooks and loose paper laying around. He'd only use his grandfather's notebook for super important things.
