First Journal Entry [Action]

[leekgardenfawn]

[Layton wasn't lucky enough to find his clothes next to him when he woke up in Luceti. So he's wandering around lost in the woods, hugging himself out of both cold and modesty, journal dangling from one of his hands -- he thinks it's just an empty journal that somebody lost, and plans on finding the owner eventually. He occasionally calls out the

[ Have a green haired girl walking to you, curiously. Considering the man's current looks she's thinking he might need some help... someone new right? She doesn't know that many people yet but... no harm in helping a little. ]

Are you looking for someone, Mister?

[The girl's voice jolted him, and he whirled to look at her, dropping the journal in surprise. She had wings, the same as him -- did everyone have them here?

He looked around frantically for something to cover himself -- he couldn't let a lady see him in this state! He settled for standing behind a low, leafy branch.]

Ah, yes. A little boy in a blue sweater, and a young lady with a red bow and a large curl on her forehead. [He gestured their heights.] Have you seen them?

[ Oh dear. Maybe she shouldn't have done that. Fin took a step back for good measure and held her hands out in a defensive 'I'm not going to hurt you' manner before shaking her head. ]

No, ah, I haven't. ...but I don't know many people myself yet so they could be here!

[ After all she found Maron here, anything was possible. ]

[Don't know...?]

...Have you just arrived here too, Miss? [He wanted to find Luke and Flora and his clothes, and find out what was going on, but -- this lady might need his help too. As a gentleman, he couldn't ignore that possibility, as much as he wanted to take care of his own business.]

[Now there's a face Sonic hasn't seen in a while. But despite recognizing him or not, it looked as though this person needed assistance of some sort.]

Professor? Hey, what're you doin' out here?

[leekgardenfawn]

[A... blue hedgehog-person. A talking blue hedgehog-person. A talking blue hedgehog-person that seemed to recognize him.

...At least it sounded male.]

...You know me, Mr. Hedgehog?

[action]

[blue_velocity]

[That answers that then! Sonic's ears flicked and he nodded to him.]

Well, the last time you were here, yeah! We went lookin' for your top hat the first time 'round. So I guess I gotta say welcome back to Luceti.

[leekgardenfawn]

The last time...? I'm sorry, Mr. Hedgehog, but I don't think I've been here before. Especially if I had these last time; I think I'd remember something like that.

[As he spoke, his wings fluttered a bit unconsciously, as if to clarify what he was talking about.]

[redroseprince]

[Don't be shy, Professor. Jennifer is quite harmless. She's currently sitting on a bench, looking down at her hands, so she probably won't notice Mr. Layton here until he's right up on her.]

[leekgardenfawn]

[By this time, he's gotten his clothes and an explanation, and has returned to the forest to look for Luke and Flora. He's a good deal calmer now, so when he spots her, he calls out.]

Miss!

[redroseprince]

[Jennifer jumps at the sudden voice, glancing up nervously as she involuntarily clasped her hands to her chest.]

Y-Yes? Um...can I help you?

[leekgardenfawn]

[When he saw how he'd surprised her, he winced, and bowed lightly in apology.]

Ah, I'm terribly sorry about that.

...But have you seen a little boy in a blue sweater, or a young lady with a red bow and large curl on her forehead? [He gestured at their respective heights.] Their names are Luke and Flora. I'm looking for them, you see.

[ricketytrickery]

[Hm, this guy seems pretty new. Tattoi's going to try to sneak up behind Layton and, once behind him, vent some steam. That hissing sound should get his attention, and Tattoi's appearance might make the poor guy think he's back in Folsense. |Db]

[leekgardenfawn]

[It did get his attention alright -- it almost made him jump out of his skin. He dashed forward a few feet, whirling around and looking around on the ground for the source of the noise; to him, it had sounded like a snake.]

[ricketytrickery]

[Tattoi just mentally facepalms. Deciding to go with a slightly more direct route, he approaches Layton again, taps him on the shoulder, then hisses again.]

[leekgardenfawn]

Ahh! What on Earth--

[Oh, it's a person. Kind of?]

Can I... help you?
