[puzzledwife]

[Action!]
[Upon waking, Claire burst out of her bedroom, and fled down the steps. Something was wrong, she coudl feel it in her bones. She could see fine without her glasses... and the explosion, why was she safe? It didn't make sense

[The sound of hurried footsteps jerked Layton out of the newspaper, and the notebook and pencil he had perched in his lap clattered to the floor as he stood up in curiosity and suspicion. Then the front door -- he ran for the front room, and just as he put his hand on the knob of the partially open door, a family picture on the small table by the front door (meant for mail and keys and things) caught his attention.

He stared. The drone wife had disappeared from the picture, and in her place... it couldn't be. He'd been told this place could bring the dead back to life, but surely not if they hadn't died in Mayfield in the first place!

He cautiously stepped outside, almost afraid to look. His voice shook as he called out.]

C... Claire?

[puzzledwife]

[The turned suddenly, staring a moment, then hurrying over.] Hershel! What's... what's going on? Where is this?

[tophatofawesome]

[He was still staring in shock. It looked like her, it sounded like her... but it couldn't be. This had to be a dream. He reached up and pressed the heels of his hands into his eyelids until they hurt and colors flashed in the darkness, then opened them again -- but past the fading blobs of color, Claire was still there.]

How on Earth....

[He slowly realized that she'd asked him a question, and shook his head.]

It's a very long story. But how... how are you even here?

[puzzledwife]

I'd like to know the same, it doesn't look like London.

[her head was turned a bit when she said this, then she looked up at him from the first step of the pouch.] Is something the matter?

[[And Hunter's in his room, writing something. But he sees someone new outside his window. Another new person? This fast?

He opens his window and calls out to her.]]

[puzzledwife]

[Ah? A local...? She turns and calls with a smile]

Ah--good afternoon!

[Action]

[brbpouncingyou]

You're new, right?

...By any chance, are you from Layton's world?

[Action]

[puzzledwife]

Ah, You know Hershel? Where is he, can I speak with him?

[thebestnation]

Yea, there's no way out at all.

[puzzledwife]

Surely people are trying. If there's a way in, there must be a way out.

[thebestnation]

We are. We just haven't found it yet.

[puzzledwife]

We being those who've also been captured, right? Is that a group investigation or...?

[bbsatbyrobots]

Ah, h-hello Miss Claire. I'm Flora. Um...w-welcome to Mayfield.

[puzzledwife]

[A light, friendly laugh] Flora, what a nice name. Have you lived here long?

[bbsatbyrobots]

Th-thank you.

I've been here for a few months. L-luckily someone from home got here the same time I did..

[puzzledwife]

That's good. Helps to have friends around when strange things are happening.

[strongestofice]

Did you just get here?

[puzzledwife]

From what I understand, yes; and you are?

[strongestofice]

I'm Mannen. I got here a few weeks ago. This place isn't so bad, but I've heard some pretty weird things about it.

[puzzledwife]

Weird things? Like...?
