First Journal Entry

What on Earth...?

[Layton turns over in bed to find the drone wife next to him and yelps; scrambling backward from the bed and falling onto the floor. Thankfully, he didn't wake her up; he gets to his feet, looking around in confusion. This building is completely unfamiliar, and these aren't his clothes. He reaches to the top of his head and

I afraid it isn't a ru--

Professor!?

[The telephone...?]

Flora, there you are! Are you alright, my dear? Have you seen Don Paolo anywhere?

[brbpouncingyou]

[[Hunter's in his room, looking across the gap between houses. There's some guy who's talking into a phone in the other house. He doesn't take any notice of it until he answers the phone.]]

You know Luke and Flora, do y-

...wait a sec.

[[Wait a sec. Judging from the way the man in the other room is looking, maybe it's the guy who just spoke?

He opens his window and goes back to the phone.]]

Hey, open the window for a sec.

Action+Voice

[tophatofawesome]

Before I was kidnapped, they were both in my care.

[....]

The window?

[Layton goes to the window and looks out. He's not looking into the other house, out of his instinctive sense of privacy; he doesn't see anything.]

Why?

Action

[brbpouncingyou]

[[And Hunter hangs up the phone, then goes to the window to lean on the frame, waving at Layton.]]

Hello, neighbour!

Action

[tophatofawesome]

[He sees him now and opens the window, though doesn't step away from it, looking at Hunter suspiciously.]

Do you plan to jump across the gap?

[He leans out the window and looks down at the distance to the ground, then again at Hunter.]

[bustydefense]

There are a Luke and Flora here...

[tophatofawesome]

Do you know if they're alright, Miss?

[bustydefense]

Yes, as far as I know.

[tophatofawesome]

Thank you. I don't know what I would have done if they'd been harmed or worse.

...I believe I've had the basics of this city explained to me. Seeing as you actually have a personality, I assume you were kidnapped as well?

[need_a_smoke]

So, what, the phones broadcast to everyone elses?

That doesn't sound too 1950s to me.

Good to see I aint the only one confused.

[tophatofawesome]

I suppose so. In my home, you need to dial the number of a telephone to connect to it... but I suppose things work differently here.

You've been kidnapped as well?

[need_a_smoke]

Yea. At least I was able to finish up everything I was doing before I was brought here.

[tophatofawesome]

I'm glad to hear that.

....

1950's, did you say?

[kol_shevik]

Actors, comrade? Is very long play then.

[tophatofawesome]

Oh, no, not that sort of actor. I have an idea of what's going on now, though, so --

..."Comrade"?

[kol_shevik]

Ah, good, Mayfield town would not make very good movi--

Да, comrade?

what sound does Д make oxo

[tophatofawesome]

[ooc: crap disregard that last tag, wrong journal ;o;]

No, why are you calling me "comrade"?
