[Layton stands looking confused in the corridor, his hand reached out as if to open a door. He was sure his office door was there in front of him, but now it was not. He lowered his hand.]

What is going on here?

[He looks around.]

Hello? Is there anyone here?

{Clive is wandering about, exploring a bit, if you will.

But he sees you.
But he's not sure if he wants to talk to you.
What a dilemma.

Well, after talking with his mother, he feels a bit better about everything. Why not go say hello?

He's walking up to you now.}

Hello, Professor.

[Layton turns]

Clive?

{He nods.}

I thought you had gone to look for a job.

{He looks at you oddly.}

I'm afraid I don't understand, Professor.

...Are you new here?

Indeed I am Clive.

Do you have any idea what this place is?

This is a... Dressing Room, I believe someone called it.

We don't know how or why we're here, and there's no way to leave.

[Layton is shocked by this news]

interesting..

Well, I only arrived here the other day, so perhaps I havn't gotten the whole story yet...

I see.
Thank you Clive.

[He tips his hat]

{He smiles.}

Oh, I should also tell you...
The people that have been pulled here are from different time periods and universes.
For example, I've seen a version of myself from my own future.

Ah Now it makes sence. Thank you again Clive.

You're welcome, Professor. {Smiles, again.}

If you don't mind me asking, where are you from? or should I say what do you recall before you came here?

Ah... My machine just collapsed... and Inspector Chelmly was taking me to prison... {His smile has disappeared now.}

Ah I see.. back then.

[He smiles]

You should't worry, your here now and if there is no way out, well then you can't go to prison.

I... suppose... {He still can't help feeling a bit like he deserves prison, though.}

Or if you like you could see this as your prison.
[he smiles softly]

{He smiles sadly.}
This place isn't much of a prison. How could it be, when here, my mother is alive and well?

[Smiles]

Well then maybe the torment you where feeling, for the loss of her, will ease now that you can speaking to her.

I... believe it may have, a bit.

That good.

Yes, I suppose it is. {Smile.}

So what's happening wherever it is you're coming from, Professor?

Where I come from, Flora just got married, Luke is over sea and I have someone elce liveing in my home.

{Okay, he expected Luke overseas, but pfffffff how did FLORA end up married?}

Flora is married?
