Puzzle 001 [Video / Action for Goldenrod]

[vengefulyears]

[The face appearing on the network now may or may not be a new face to some people, but this whole situation sure is new to Clive. Anyone who's paying extra close attention may also notice that the scenery in the background is nowhere in New Bark Town or Mahogany; it's none other than the first floor of the Radio Tower in Goldenrod.]Good evening,

[ Oh, Layton is just walking back to his hotel room after going shopping in the department store. He has just gone to buy some food for dinner tonight and his little Teddiursa is following along, carrying its dinner; a jar of honey. ]

[ Everything is beautiful and nice and-- ]

action; 2/maybe 3

[profpuzzle]

[ --who is that familiar face and suit and tie and swag and hat and has Yuri Lowenthal's beautiful voice? ]

action; 3/or maybe 4

[profpuzzle]

[ oh hey, it's Big Luke! Gosh, Layton hasn't seen him since Christmas, this is awesome. ]

Ah, Luke. I haven't been aware that you have arrived back in Johto and in Goldenrod, much less--

action; yeah, 4 so I'm done. Still wanna do 50 though :C

[profpuzzle]

[ And once walking closer, he takes notice that the poor man is shivering. (fuu) ]

--let us get you inside first though.

It's all true. Ya ain't gettin' outta here that easy, just like the rest of us. [He shrugs a little, smirking.] Don't stress about it, though. Word has it when ya leave, it'll be just as ya left it, so yer business can be attended to without a hitch.

[vengefulyears]

...Just as I left it? What exactly do you mean by that?

[usedfaketears]

Just like it sounds. If ya go back, it'll be at the exact same time ya left it.

How do you know this?

[America's totally with him on it being far too cold. He has had a similar problem, after all. That's not why he's replying to the message though, nope. It's-]

Hey! Don't worry about that stuff while you can't do anything about it! [Clive will see a nice smiling face too.] Just enjoy it while you can! [He's used to giving himself pep talks, might as well put it to good use, right?]

[Video]

[vengefulyears]

[Oh, well the optimism from this man makes Clive feel just a little better. He chuckles a bit.]

I suppose you're right. I just can't help but worry about what's going on back home...

[Video]

[ttlyahero]

[SO MUCH OPTIMISM. But he's glad that helps a little.]

Exactly! It's not like we can just go back, so just think of it as an adventure! Or a holiday!

[Video]

[vengefulyears]

[It's definitely helping. See, he's even smiling a little now.]

Yes, that's a good way of putting it.

Have you been here long?

[hintcoinplz]

[Oh wow, Luke hasn't heard that voice in ages either.

...Well okay, technically it's supposed to be his voice, but you know. Details.]

B-big Luke! Is that really you?

[Video]

[vengefulyears]

[Oh ho, another unexpected twist. First Layton, and now... Little Luke? Is that what Clive should call him? He did just call him "Big Luke," after all...]

Of course it is! I didn't think you would be here, too.

[Video]

[hintcoinplz]

Gosh, it's been a long time since you were last here! It's hard to believe you're back!

...Er, don't tell me you've forgotten about the last time you where here too.

[Video]

[vengefulyears]

Yes, I'm afraid I have...

[recklessmisstep]

[ So Lando happens to be walking by, when he hears Clive's broadcast. Yupyup he will approach and be helpful!! Okay no not really, he just wants to gather all the data. And maybe tease the guy or something. ]

You arrived in Goldenrod? Huh! That's unusual. I don't think that happens to many people.

[ He hasn't heard of it, anyway. Not that he pays attention to that stuff most of the time.

Oh right and he's just gonna take out his trainer handbook--It has so much writing on it. Really this kid needs to invest in a notebook--and marks something on it before tucking it away again. ]

Oh, right. You had questions. Lets see...Yes! Plenty of people just up and disappear. It seems to be a frequent occurrence, though just as random as our arrival.

[vengefulyears]

[Well, this is quite an interesting individual... Clive is almost curious as to what he just wrote in that handbook, but he'll leave the matter alone.]

I see... So, people don't normally arrive in Goldenrod? Where do they usually show up?

[recklessmisstep]

New Bark town! Which is a ways away, if you're going on foot.

[vengefulyears]

Interesting. I wonder why I showed up here instead of New Bark...?
