Picarats 002 - [VIDEO/ACTION IN CHERRYGROVE]  
[VIDEO]

[On this beautiful morning if anyone happens to be checking out their Pokegear, they would find a video of Professor Layton seemingly positioning his own Pokegear on some table. From the surroundings, it would seem that he is in a corner of the Pokemon Center, at a table with what seems to be a cup of tea.

Yes, the Professor finally got himself into Cherrygrove city and out of that god forsaken Route 29. He actually got here yesterday and even found himself a job at the Pokemon Center, but he decided just now to do a video. Hey, he just figured out how to work this gadget. Can't blame a man that just jumped from using a gramophone to these "cell phones".

After fiddling around for a bit, the Pokegear is finally positioned towards the Professor and not at his coat. He's wearing his spare change of clothes, though still sticking with his signature top hat, of course.]


Ah, that should do it. I do hope that this is working properly.

Well, would anyone happen to know how far it is to the city and from Violet City to Cherrygrove? I would like to know how much time I have to wait before I head off.

Hopefully this morning and last night's drizzle would mean the last of rain until much later. I do not want to be getting this pair of clothes wet as well.

Say, this has reminded me of a fantastic puzzle! Would anyone like a go at it until I get back to work?

"A man went out for a walk when it started to rain. He didn't have an umbrella nor was he wearing a hat. When he ran all the way back home, his clothes were soaked, yet not a single hair on his head got wet. How is this possible?"

[Who can resist throwing puzzles at the most random times at the most random topics? The Professor can't! 20 picarats* if you can solve it in your first go! Y'know you want these picarats!]


[ACTION]

[Anyone still in Cherrygrove city could find the Professor sitting at a table in the Pokemon Center, enjoying a nice cup of tea; Belle Classic if anyone is wondering. He's wearing his spare change of clothes, though still sticking with his signature top hat, of course. He's on his lunch break right now, but he doesn't seem all that busy.

Approach and solve puzzles for picarats*?]



(( OOC: *Picarats is the difficulty of the puzzle. 10 is the easiest and 99 the hardest. Every time you get the puzzle wrong, it decreases and stops at a certain number, so the lowest for 20 is 12. You get it right, you get the number of picarats you ended with! More puzzles, more picarats to your amount! Picarats here are just for SHOWING OFF. COLLECT THEM. Maybe I'll have something involving these picarats or something~ ))

Picarats 001 - [AUDIO]  
[The sound of tinkering can be heard, most likely from a Pokegear being examined at different angles and someone just pushing anything that eye catching. The owner of the device doesn’t quite seem to notice that is voice recorder is on due to the fact that there is nothing but silence and those usual sounds of the Pokegear being fiddled around for a few minutes. That is until the Professor notices it.]

Oh, is this turned on? I must have switched it on while inspecting it.

[However, he isn’t quite sure if this is just a personal recording for himself or that it is being sent out to anyone listening. He thinks it’s the latter…thinks…Hopefully it is or he would be quite embarrassed. He clears his voice.]

To any that are listening out there, my name is Professor Hershel Layton and it seems like I'm quite lost. I  have wandered into some woods from a town called “New Bark Town”. I believe I’m in “route 29”? Unless I have traveled off course…I really hope that isn’t the case.

One of the kind gentlemen in a lab coat back in town has explained some a few things about this area and pointed out the path to the next town, but I'm still puzzled as to where I am exactly, such as this country. And apparently my "mother" has given me some supplies for the trip...I am so terribly confused...

Ah, but enough about that. Would anyone perhaps know where London would be? I'm afraid I can't find it on my map. Has anyone also seen a small boy in blue named Luke, saying to be my apprentice, or a girl with a pink dress and answers to Flora? I haven't seen them since I have arrived here a few days ago. I'm awfully quite worried about them.

I apologize if I have seemed to have rambled on. I’m just…very disoriented…

Thank you.

[Now, does he turn this off or does he wait for a reply? More sounds of tinkering could be heard along with some quiet questions to his Vulpix, asking for her thoughts. Oh God, how do you work this?]



((OOC: Have to go out for a doctor's appointment. Checking if I could get any surgery or something to remove this thing under my eye; it's starting to hurt badly. Will be back soon, I hope. ))
