((Written;))
I must say, this really is quite a funny place. Wizards and fools and all the like from children's fairy tales that I'm sure we all so dearly loved once upon a time. Then again! I'm sure there are many of us who still enjoy them. Aside from that, we have people coming into our lives and suddenly existing inside of them for a week or so. Talk about a bumpy ride, don't you think? And a glimpse of our own worlds with a friend or two... have I missed anything...? Well, as far as the Malnosso go, and their direct influence over us... Likely not.

As for how we interact, hmm... It seems popular to ask questions of everyone around here; who's where, what do you feel about this or that, where are you from.... That is one way to meet people. I should ((...)) probably work on that. Two months here and it looks like the Malnosso are fond enough of me to keep me around. I'm sure they find those of us here vastly entertaining in all our mundane routines.

If only sarcasm bled as well as the ink that wrote it, and if only I had a satisfactory and interesting question to provide to all of you.

A pity, really . . .

But look out! Some people will give you a puzzle in return.

Ah! I'll have to watch my back then. Wouldn't want to be caught off guard by something like that. It would be a mite embarrassing.

[Darn it, Clive.

It is so hard not to like you.]

Do you think they'll beat you?

((It's his gentlemanly nature--I mean...))

Everyone has their qualities and short comings. I'm sure someone witty would come up with a puzzle even I couldn't solve. I'm no prodigy.

...Have you ever had a puzzle you couldn't solve?

Of course.... some I don't think could ever be solved.

If you remember any of them, maybe someone here can solve it.

That could work, though it lacks the same satisfaction. I'll try to jot them down if I ever think of one of them.

[A true gentleman leaves no puzzle unsolved!]

...So...what's...the last thing you did in London?

Well, that's a funny question. Aside from my brief kidnapping back to London last month, it seems the last thing I was up to was being swept away by the good Inspector Chelmey.

Oh. So...that's about the same time.

[This mix of pity and dislike and admiration and confusion is overwhelming. And he's hungry.]

Then you...did you know about Celeste?

I did, to an extent.

...She disappeared.

Hmm...

((Tips his head to think a moment, then speaks again, less fully to his journal.))

I can't say I'm surprised.

[Luke struggles with just about everything that happened in Future London because some of it was outrageous and some of it...

...Some of it he wishes had been real. He looked up to you, Future Self. You were a cunning and clever and puzzle-loving gentleman.]

I guess that's all I wanted to say.

...

Celeste was, no doubt, happy at the end of the whole journey. I'm sure she was pleased to meet you; delighted, though she couldn't express it in the short time frame available.

((What he knew and understand of her existence entirely, though, only fed the flames of his deep rooted anger.))

It's not about me! It's about Professor Layton!

[He has never seen his mentor act that way before.]

As I said Luke; she was happy. ((It was easy enough to infer. He'd know some things from Dimitri.. he'd known the woman had been following Layton.))

Perhaps, if you should ever see the professor here amongst us, you should ask him about it.

I can't do that!

[It would make him sad. Probably. A puzzle of sadness for which Luke has no solution.]

Anyway...I don't...I don't think the Professor should come here. [He said that last part pretty fast.]

..It's probably for the better that he didn't. Too much trouble to put a gentleman like himself up to.

[Oh but Professor Layton gets into lots of trouble! He's just an expert at getting out of it.]

I wonder what he would make of this place.

Well, I'm sure he'd find it puzzling, at the very least. ((chuckles.)) Perhaps somewhat troubling.

If anyone could figure out how to get us home again, it's Professor Layton.

You think? Your faith in the professor is astounding....

I can't say I disagree, though. He's brilliant like that; and lucky.

[There is nothing stronger than his faith in his professor except perhaps his appetite.]

Of course he is! No one's better than Professor Layton, especially at solving puzzles.
