PICARATS 014 [VIDEO/ACTION IN VIOLET CITY] - backdated to 04.27.2011

[profpuzzle]

[ Now, this is a very familiar view to those that have known the Professor for some time; the Pokegear placed down on a small coffee table angled in such a way to film its owner, a open notebook with a fountain pen nearby, a hot cup of Belle Classic tea, and the great Professor himself. From the surroundings, it seems that he's in a Pokemon Centre

[Cruz quietly listened to what he was saying to everyone on the Pokegear before speaking up when he finishes.]

Um... Sorry for eavesdropping, but I would love to tag along for this adventure! [A beat.] Do you have room for one more at this table?

[Action]

[profpuzzle]

[ The Professor looks up from his Pokegear, looking just a bit surprised. Though that doesn't stay for long for a warm smile replaces it. ]

Yes, of course. Please do sit down. [ The Professor moves his notebook closer to his side and motions towards the empty seat across from him. ]

[Cruz gives a nod and sits himself down.] So, you said that you were an archeologist...?

[Action]

[profpuzzle]

Indeed, I am. I teach it at an university back in London as well, actually. [ The Professor is actually a scholar too, but he doesn't want to brag. ]

[profpuzzle]

Please do notify me if you know for sure that you and your companions are coming. I am more than willing to lend a few Pokemon to travel upon.

I am Professor Hershel Layton. May I learn your name too, my boy?

[notjustsunshine]

Wooow! I didn't know a place like that existed here...Sounds like fun, I'll come along!

[profpuzzle]

That is wonderful to hear.

May I learn your name, miss?

[notjustsunshine]

I'm Vanille, what's yours? Ooh! I can cook so if you need me to make anything while we're there I can!

[profpuzzle]

I am Professor Hershel Layton. A pleasure to meet you, Miss Vanille. [ He tops his top hat in greeting. ]

Ah, that will be lovely. I do greatly appreciate your help in this.

[Video]

[cheerfulfacade]

Wah, sounds interesting! [He gives a wide smile.] I'd love to join!

I used to run a bakery, so I can cook too!

[Video]

[profpuzzle]

A bakery? That sounds rather impressive. I will be very grateful to have you join me, sir.

[Video]

[cheerfulfacade]

Oh, thank you! [He gives a laugh.] It was more for fun than anything else!

[He tilts his head to the side.] It might take me a while to get there, though! I've almost arrived at Blackthorn City!

[Video]

[profpuzzle]

Ah, Blackthorn? That is indeed a bit far away. Will you like a Pokemon to ride upon to speed up the travel here?

[It's a few minutes before this particular response comes. But have a certain lazy mage, who looks... kind of a little beaten up, actually. The Clefairy sitting on his head looks -so- proud of herself you have no idea.]

...Um... How long would it take to get there from Azalea Town, would you say?

[Video]

[profpuzzle]

From Azalea Town through the caves to the ruins, I believe that will take... [ Give the Professor a few seconds. ] ...about a week if you travel upon a Pokemon.

[ And the Professor notices the man looking a bit beaten up. ] Are you alright over there?

[Video]

[alpha_stigma]

Ah, I'm fine. This is pretty normal, for her... [He peers tiredly upward a little at the aforementioned Clefairy, who looks down at him with a look of the purest innocence ever.]

...So about a week, then, if... [There's a "Sol." from off camera, and Ryner glances in that direction for a moment.] Well, in that case, I'd probably be able to make it... Might as well, if you have room for one more, I guess.

[profpuzzle]

I will be overjoyed to have you upon this trip with us.

Will you like a Pokemon to ride upon here?
