[Puzzle 001]

[In the plaza, near its southern edge, there is something strange. It is most noticeable now that snow is falling in earnest - a shape, smallish and curled up on itself. There is a boy in the snow. Asleep, dressed only in new feather pants, shivering. When he finally shivers himself awake, it's a groggy half-there voice that broadcasts. Seems the journal's open.] Just...a few m-more...minutes, Prof-ffessor...

Yes I am! N-Now stop shaking me.

[identity profile] pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
[She stops shaking you.]

[Only to take a step back and start yanking on your arm, trying to get you back onto your feet.]

[waaaaaah what are you doing you crazy girl]

H-Hey, that hurts! It's still cold you know!

[The only solution is to get up...and stumble. Numb feet.]

That's why I'm trying to get you up! [She doesn't let go of his hand.] You'll get sick if you sleep in the snow!

[Flaaaaail He can't get his legs to hold him up! Windmilling arms and...no he's gonna go down here in three seconds.]

Aah!

[Sob you're worse than Ion. Digging heels in and yanking harder on your arm, trying to haul you upright again.] Whoa! Hold on!

[identity profile] his-apprentice.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
I can't feel my feet! S-Stop pulling like that for a minute!

[identity profile] pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
You what?! [She drops Luke's hand, staring at him in concern.]

[identity profile] his-apprentice.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Well it's cold! I don't even know where I am or how long I've been here.

[no no don't let go! He falls back over backwards, landing hard on his butt in the snow]

Owww...

[identity profile] pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[She sighs and offers her hand, instead of trying to drag him up again.] That's serious! I've heard stories of people getting their body parts turned to ice then needing to chop them off!

[identity profile] his-apprentice.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
What? That...that wouldn't really happen, would it?

[Professor where are you to stop him from freaking out. Very slowly he gets to his bare feet and shivers harder]

Where did all of this snow come from...

[identity profile] pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? It's been snowing for awhile now! [She takes a look at his clothes. Oh.] Hey, you're a New Feather, right? Welcome to Luceti! C'mon! Let's get you inside first!

[Grabbing your hand again~!]

[identity profile] his-apprentice.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not a- a feather! I'm Layton's apprent- [hand grabbed, arm most likely tugged on. His words choke out in his throat as Anise pulls him along. Since he doesn't know about the book, they're likely to just leave it behind in the snow]

[identity profile] pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Lucky those journals can magically return to their owner, eh?]

Of course you're not a feather! A New Feather's a term for someone who just came to Luceti! [Yep, dragging you to the clothing shop.]

[identity profile] his-apprentice.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
But this is supposed to be London! [Why aren't you understanding? He can hardly get the words out anyway, being yanked along as he is.]

[identity profile] pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Shoving you unceremoniously into the shop.] You got transported into another world! Your normal clothes should be here. Take a look around!

[identity profile] his-apprentice.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh nope he's going down again. But at least it's inside the shop and he'll start to warm up in there.

Anise you are so forceful.]


Don't make up things like that. It's not possible to be in another world.

[identity profile] pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[SIGH.] I didn't believe it at first, but it's true! Now c'mon! Let's find some clothes for you!

[identity profile] his-apprentice.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[He's just kneeling there on the floor, still looking frosty around the edges]

I still don't know where my clothes are.

[identity profile] pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[She crouches down, growing steadily more concerned. After a moment's thought she takes off her jacket and holds it out for Luke, shivering slightly.]

I know it's a lot to take in at once, but just trust me, okay?

[identity profile] his-apprentice.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh no, he can't take a lady's coat. Especially if she looks cold right after taking it off.]

Th-that's okay, I'll get warm on my own. ...Where are we again?

[identity profile] pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's fine! [She smiles a bit at him.] We're in a clothing shop! Everything's free here, so you can take what you like! The clothes you were wearing before you got here should be in this shop somewhere.

[identity profile] his-apprentice.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
Everything's...free? [He kneels up a little, looking around. There are tables and racks of clothes and...free?

Is that a familiar blue sweater? Still stumbling, Luke gets to his feet and holds onto the table it's on to get a better look.

That's it! Oh great. His shirt and shorts and - everything but the shoes and hat are there. ...But will the shorts do it in this weather?]

Hmmm...ah! What am I thinking? ["in this weather" like something normal is going on!]

[identity profile] pigtailed-loli.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know, it's pretty unbelievable! [Totally thinking you're in awe over all the things you can take and not shocked at the fact you're starting to adjust to the situation.]

[Anise points at the shorts.]
You should get warmer clothes!

[identity profile] his-apprentice.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
I don't wear this in the winter. [Well, he does the sweater. England is always cold and rainy and sweaters are just...good for that. For now he tries to put on the shirt and sweater and yelps instead]

Something's wrong with my back...?
