[Puzzle 011]

[It's early in the morning, and there's a commotion. The village knows about this commotion because things are scattered in the scuffle, including Luke's journal. It thunks onto the floor of the apartment, open and 'on' enough to record...well.

The sounds of a scuffle.

Bangs and clangs and the occasional mechanical whirr or someone shouting (classic noir American accent or subtle/overt British one, take your pick!) and the end result is a nice, spread-out flurry of chaos.

In which one of the people living in the apartment is no longer there.

After a while, there are footsteps; it's Luke trudging over to pick up his journal and gingerly talk into it.]

Um. They came and...took Czes- Benjamin. [Not without a fight!] Maiza and Professor Layton and I tried to stop them, but it- it didn't work. Sorry. [...] Maybe he won't be gone for long.

[[ooc: Those replying may get an answer from Luke, Maiza, or Layton! Depends on who's got the journal at the moment, and who's off trying to clean up the mess in a dejected manner.]]

I—I was okay! They kept me in a scary room for a while and then let me go, and I was okay.

But it was still really scary...

[voice]

[hisapprentice]

That does sound scary! I'm glad you were all right though, and I hope it never happens again.

[voice]

[asobouyo]

I hope not, either...

Is the person they took one of your friends? What's he look like? I can tell you if I see him come back.

[voice]

[hisapprentice]

He's short like me, with brown hair and a brown hat. He, um, usually calls himself Benjamin.

[voice]

[asobouyo]

[She nods to that.]

Aright! Benjamin with brown hair under a brown hat!

I'll look for him, so if I hear anything I'll tell you!

[voice]

[hisapprentice]

Thanks. That'd be just great. Sorry you had to be awake this early.

[voice]

[asobouyo]

It's alright. Be safe and sleep, too, okay?

[voice]

[hisapprentice]

I'm going to try.
