[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.]]

Do you need to wait for it to cool down or something? It'd suck to burn your tongue.

No, it's-! It's great. Perfect.

[That's why he's sipping it and looking down at the table trying not to, ahem, make a scene in 'public'.]

[Well, good. But he reaches for his own cup to be sure.

He'll be happy to relax with his tea and have a slower morning than usual, if only to counteract the faster start. With no university obligations to hurry off to, he can take his time enjoying the company of his flatmates before hitting the books.]

[Good. Luke is smiling, and the professor is finally relaxed. Maiza will sit with them and drink his tea to give them all that break, before he'll return to cleaning up the rest of the mess.
