This is Professor Hershel Layton speaking.

An announcement to all students: because our core subject teachers -- and our tutor Miss Grants, incidentally -- have been drafted for the upcoming operation at Region One, school will be suspended until further notice, effective immediately to allow for battle preparations. In short, school is out until we return. If you would like to continue music lessons with Mr. Vessalius, however, I encourage you to approach him individually.

Assignments due in the meantime will be collected when school reopens. But take care not to leave them to the last minute! Allowances will be made for drafted students, but we expect those of you remaining here to stay productive.

[Aaand because why not:]

To all prospective students: as it seems the New Feather cycle has come to a close, we at the school extend an invitation to anyone interested in enrolling. There is no age requirement or education prerequisite; we only ask that you come with a desire to learn. We offer courses in maths, writing, science, art, magic, music, and world sharing, and you need only attend those classes which interest you. While you won't be able to attend immediately due to the draft, I urge anyone who has considered taking part in school to join us when we return.

I wish you all well with your preparations and bid you safe venture.

(( OOC: Other teachers may respond where applicable! And if you'd like to sign up your character for school, whether now or later, take a gander at this OOC post right over here. ))
reminded: (What's this?)
[Action?]

[Somewhere, a puzzle sits. Abandoned.

Why? How? Nobody knows. But it looks innocent enough. Little blocks in playful colors, purposefully arranged inside a handcrafted house of wood. The blocks slide easily with a nudge, almost as if they were born to do so. It looks like the big red block would fit perfectly into the space on the right. In fact, it looks like it would be a pretty easy task. Might as well give it a try, right?

But this cheerful little puzzle has a dark secret. To the savvy, it's worth 99 picarats and requires a series of 81 moves at minimum to complete. To the not-as-savvy, that means it's a lot harder than it looks. This is not a puzzle for the weak.]



[Voice, evening]

Good evening, Luceti. I’ll only be a moment. I seem to have lost a puzzle of mine -- a sliding block puzzle, to be precise. Has anyone seen it? I would appreciate any word.

(( OOC: I don’t count on him actually getting the puzzle back, but it can be spotted anywhere and everywhere. And if you'd like to play out puzzle frustrations with someone other than Layton, go right ahead! Puzzle destruction is also a thing that is acceptable. Just sayin'.

P.S.: a video of the puzzle if you want to see it in action. ))
reminded: (Let's have a look.)
[It's about time to give this device a go. In neat, legible writing is simply the following:]

5 + 5 + 5 = 550

It appears I have my arithmetic out of sorts. However, it would be a shame to scrap the equation entirely. Can you help me correct it by adding a single straight line?
