animus_network | [VIDEO] let's get down to business-

Hello, everyone. My name is Luke Triton.

[Wow, a proper and civil greeting- on the network at that! The kid tips his hat politely to the camera, before setting it back where it belongs on his head.]

I suppose it's too much to ask for anyone to remember me- I won't be upset if you say no. However, those of you who may...I am most concerned for Mr. Kirkland. Does anyone know if he is here, or when he was here last?

[With that aside, the kid shifts in to a more focused and determined expression, even for a British teen.]

I also would like to know how many people here have pets, or animals of any sort. I found a hamster during the fiasco that occurred recently, and am unsure who he belongs to. I asked him his owner's name, but I think the chaos may have traumatized him slightly...

With that said, who needs help with what? I'm not one to sit idly by, so if there are any projects or the like that need doing, I am willing to lend a helping hand!

[A pause, as he gives a grumpy squint at the camera.]

...within reason.

[And then the feed cut off!]

I know you.

I can help update you on lots of things about the tower you missed, as long as we can compare experiences equally.

Arthur's still here, last I knew. That might have changed in the... recent chaos, but I'd hope not.

[Ken's eyes widen. There he is!]

Tan! You found him!

[He'd been worried about his little buddy. ;w; ]

[Okay sure, that's pretty suspicious...but whatever, he'll give you the benefit of the doubt. For now.]

I'm fine with that- but if that is the case, the network may not be the best place.

He is? That's a load off! Don't worry, if he was here all that mess, then he's probably still here.

[...typed with entirely too much hope and belief for an oldbie.]

[When the video starts up, Luke's already holding the quivering little hamster gently, looking worried at the viewpoint.]

-he your owner?

[There's some sort of...squeak, and Luke gives an affirming nod before looking up.]

I found him in the hallway, during the ruckus- I can bring him back to you if you can give me your room number. Or, you could come down here...? Whichever you're more comfortable with.

[Well that's weird, but -]

I can meet you where you are.

[He still feels kind of weird with people knowing where he sleeps. Force of paranoid habit, probably.]

That's right. It's the least safe place.

How about this. We'll meet in the former most interesting place in the tower. There's an alcove with real shady lighting, almost like it's near the heart of darkness.

See you there when you've got time.

... you... can communicate with animals?

Former most interesting...?

[...was this, a puzzle? If they really did claim to know him, then it'd make sense, especially with how cryptic they were behaving. Even more reason to be concerned!

Even with that said, it wasn't hard to figure out where they meant, and he wryly sent his proper response a second or so after the first.]

I'll be there shortly.

[He was already in the library- so it was just a matter of finding the British Classics section. He'd never directly read Heart Of Darkness- his father had claimed it was 'too grim' -but it was only natural that he knew of it.

And there he'll be, waiting on edge at the corner of the Lit section, a grip held tight on his bag.]

I'll be here- don't feel rushed.

[Featherman Tan may appreciate it though.]

Yes, it's something I've always been able to do, ever since I was young. [And then he puffs himself up, as if that's not the exciting thing.] But I can do much more than that! I'm the number-one apprentice of the great Professor Layton!

Hi!

_{[Sayaka arrives a few moments later, popping up from behind the bookcase opposite Luke - there's an out-of-place smile on her face.

She's definitely older than him, but also definitely not an adult - and isn't someone he's actually ever met before.]}

Eh? Really? That-That's amazing!

Professor Layton?

Hey there, Luke. My name's Labrys.

[She looked at the hamster, curious.]

Y'can talk to him? Ain't that hard for people to do?

[He heads towards where he saw in the background and peeks in.]

Hello?

[Tan, where are you? ;w; ]

i have a monkey. ſort of.
