Puzzle 001

[tapshoetomove]

[Action for 726 Anderson.]

[One thing was certain the moment Luke woke up: this was not future London. Instead, he found himself in an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar room in a very unfamiliar town. The last thing he remembered was he, the Professor, Flora, Inspector Chelmey, and Barton all taking the time machine in the clock shop to meet up with

[If you make your way to the study, Luke, you'll see a man in a loud green suit, hard at work on something big. Big enough that he doesn't notice you come in, at least.]

[tapshoetomove]

[He almost heads into the study. At least, until he sees someone else in there. Obviously they must be in on this whole kidnapping plot or whatever this was.

Luke is going to quietly back away and try to find another way out.

Or at least he was, but there seems to be a loud creak as he tries to step back.]

[puzzlerprince]

[A creak on the floor? Susan and Slugger always enter the study so quietly. Edward whips around, caught off-guard. Surprised to find someone so young staring back at him.]

What in---?

[The photos on the wall behind Luke catch his attention as well. The boy's in them, now.]

[tapshoetomove]

[Note to self: work on those sneaking skills.

Luke stumbles back, trying to sound braver then he felt.

It wasn't working.]

H-hold it right there! Don't come any closer!

So that's where you went... ♪

[tapshoetomove]

W-what are you talking about? Who is this?

[doublerinbow]

Rin Kagamine, virtual vocalist! The girl that's had to put up with your brainwashed butt for about six months now. It's almost weird to hear you sounding English again. ♪

[tapshoetomove]

Brainwashed...? You mean to say that I was here before?

[tapshoetomove]

What, how far?

[likescats]

[There is a skeleton in black robe sitting in the kitchen...there is also a scythe next to him.

And now...have a voice just appearing in your head as he looks up from the table where he was ...reading the paper.]

ARE YOU LOST?

[tapshoetomove]

[OH MY GOD HE WAS TAKEN AWAY BY THE GRIM REAPER.

Luke stands there looking as pale as a sheet.]

D-don't kill me, please!!

[likescats]

[Almost sighs]

YOU AREN'T DEAD CHILD.

[tapshoetomove]

[He is trying to find something to cower behind.]

T-then why are you here?!

[action]

[strike_you_out]

[Later that evening, once Luke has "settled in" to his new living arrangements a bit more, he may realize that there is still another family member he hasn't yet met. The photos scattered around the home indicate that Luke has a brother. A creepy one.

Said brother has been gone for most of the day and upon returning home, notices that something is different. The droned human-Terezi is missing and there's a new face in the family photos. Curious, Slugger decides to search for the new addition to the "family" and begins to wander through the house.]

[action]

[tapshoetomove]

[Said new "brother" is in his room, a bit more calmer after realizing the residents of the household hadn't kidnapped him. Unfortunately that didn't change the fact that he was stuck in an unfamiliar town with no Professor in sight.

He'll be checking out his new room, since he's going to be sleeping there.]

[strike_you_out]

[Eventually, Slugger's search leads him to one of the upstairs bedrooms. Silent as a shadow, he peeks into the room. When Luke seems sufficiently distracted, Slugger will seat himself upon the dresser and stare at him until he's noticed...]

[And he seems to be jotting something down, talking to himself as he does.]

Somehow I ended up in a place called "Mayfield", a place that loops around when you try to leave it. As strange as it sounds, I-
