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,

[ 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...?

[recklessmisstep]

Who knows. I doubt it's anything important, though. [ He's still making note of it, of course, but really it's probably nothing. ]

[vengefulyears]

[Or maybe it isn't nothing...]

Yes, perhaps just a glitch in the system. Anyway, thank you for answering my question.

[recklessmisstep]

[ Lando grins. ]

It's nothing. Gotta help out when I can, you know?

--Oh! I'm Lando, by the way. Should you ever need help with anything, just call me over and I'll lend a hand. [ He's fought bears you know. So CLEARLY he is qualified to help with everything ever. ]

[vengefulyears]

[Whoa, sudden bells going off in his head now. Isn't Lando the name of Layton's old bff...? If this really is that Lando, then that makes four other people from his world who are here. How peculiar. But since he doesn't know for sure if this is that same Lando or not, he won't bring up the subject.]

Thank you very much, Lando. And you can call me Luke.

[recklessmisstep]

[ Lando eye's Clive, when he gives his name. He looked...like Luke, in a way. But...it couldn't be. Luke was Layton's midget apprentice, and unless he'd aged ten years in the last...five, ten minutes? Well, then it's just a coincidence until further notice.

Luke was a common name, after all. ]

Luke? Heh, it's nice to meet you.

[vengefulyears]

[Clive notices the look that Lando gives him, so it's likely that his suspicious are true... But again, there's no reason to bring it up right now, so he won't.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, as well. Have you been here long?

[recklessmisstep]

[ A shrug. ]

A couple months, I guess. [ He hasn't really been keeping track. It's been a while, though. ]
