No. 00X - The Fourth Wall

[reminded]

[There sure is a lot of excitement this morning. After getting a vague grip on the situation by talking to some of the wingless newcomers, Layton decides to take a stroll around the village, trunk in hand, and observe. Something very unusual is happening, and there's no point in missing it by staying indoors.

Occasionally, he takes a seat on a bench or at a table and scribbles notes into his journal. Or puzzles into his puzzle index. Because no matter how much hubbub there is, you can never stop the puzzles.]

[Hmm. Layton thinks for a moment before opening his puzzle-stuffed trunk and digging his journal out. He turns to the first page and scrolls down the callbox until he reaches this young lady. No bun, it could be easily done.]

Would this be her?

[thebluepawn]

[Purple robes, but most definitely not her. If only he could draw out a picture or something.]

No, that isn't her. Her name is Maya.

[reminded]

I don't know any Maya... but if you'd like, you can browse the list yourself.

[As he is not a barcode scanner, he can't say for sure that she's absent from the roster. He offers his journal to Phoenix.]

[thebluepawn]

There's a list? If I can see that, that would be great!

[reminded]

Be my guest. [He points as he explains:]

Tap the arrows to scroll up and down. If you find someone familiar, you can tap their picture to "call" their journal.

[thebluepawn]

You can call from books now? Er, but I don't know if I'll be able to understand the explanation anyway...

Anyway, thank you! Can I borrow it for just a little while?

[reminded]

[Have it, Phoenix.]

Certainly. If you need me in a pinch, you can try reaching me through my flatmates. [He scrolls and points to Luke first, then Maiza. Czes, though... maybe it would be best if he didn't.] They're both helpful fellows. I don't think they'll mind.

[thebluepawn]

[He totally takes it. You're never getting it back.]

Mr. Avaro... and Luke? All right, I got it! Thank you, Professor.

[reminded]

You're welcome, Mr. Wright. Happy hunting.

[Joke's on you, it'll come back in a day, tops!!]

[thebluepawn]

[But he wants it, he likes putting things in his pocket :(]

I'll be sure to give it back to you later, but I've got to go now, to see if I can find my friend.

[reminded]

Best of luck.

[And back he goes to his puzzle index. Mr. Wright just reminded him of a very tricky courtroom puzzle...]
