because why not?

[ Have a Flora walking into the dressing room, looking confused. She has absolutely no idea where she is.]

Professor? Luke? Anyone?
Is somebody here?

[Luke is a good distance away, having seen her walk into the Dressing Room, but he's not sure how to approach her. After a moment, he finally does.] Flora.

[the-goldenapple.livejournal.com]

[ Flora is a kind of surprised how much this man looks like Luke. Maybe it could be...? ]

L-Luke? Is that you?

[puzzlingraven.livejournal.com]

It is. It's nice to see you again.

[the-goldenapple.livejournal.com]

Whoa! You sure grew alot.

Also, do you happen to know where I am?

[puzzlingraven.livejournal.com]

Eight years can do that to a person.

This place is known as the Dressing Room. Supposedly, it brings all sorts of people from different worlds and times here.

[the-goldenapple.livejournal.com]

Eight years? So that means you're twenty-one right now?

... wait? Different worlds?

[puzzlingraven.livejournal.com]

That's right.

[He nods.] It would appear so, seeing as how I'm technically not from your world, Flora.

[the-goldenapple.livejournal.com]

Not from my world?

Then, what kind of world are you from?

[puzzlingraven.livejournal.com]

In my world, you're the Prime Minister and London, at the moment, is being rebuilt.

[the-goldenapple.livejournal.com]

W-Whoa! I'm the prime minister?

[puzzlingraven.livejournal.com]

That's right.

[the-goldenapple.livejournal.com]

How did I become the Prime Minister? In your world, I mean.

It sounds a little bit weird to me.

[ohsolegal.livejournal.com]

Well, if it isn't Miss Flora.

[Luke's aware that he's probably coming off as asshole-ish right now, but that doesn't mean he's going to stop.]

[the-goldenapple.livejournal.com]

L-Luke?

Since when am I Miss Flora to you?

[ohsolegal.livejournal.com]

The last time I saw you, you informed me that as an upright, eligible lady, you should be addressed as Miss. Different world, I s'pose, but I assumed it'd 'old true for you too.

[the-goldenapple.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah. But I didn't expect you to really call me 'Miss'

But you're also alot older than the Luke I know...

[ohsolegal.livejournal.com]

Well, I worked that one out already. You en't so titchy back... back at 'ome.

[If he thinks of home as just meaning his world, then it's okay, but the truth of it is that he think's 'Layton's house' when he says home, and that one stings a little.]

[the-goldenapple.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess that's that different world thingy?

[ohsolegal.livejournal.com]

'ssume so, yeah. So. What've you been doin' in your world, Flora?

[He'll drop the sarcastic Miss, he's finding that he doesn't mind her company so much when resolutely trying not to think about Layton.]

[the-goldenapple.livejournal.com]

Well, you moved a month ago because of your father's work in my world.

[ohsolegal.livejournal.com]

S'not what I asked, you're as bad as 'im.

I know what I was doin' a month after I left, but what about you?

[the-goldenapple.livejournal.com]

Oh! I'm sorry.

I live with the professor. Just cooking, reading, doing dishes and other things like that.

[ohsolegal.livejournal.com]

['Cooking'...]

Surprised you 'aven't poisoned 'im yet, if you're cookin' for 'im.

{Hey look it's someone who's not Luke!

Clive has had yet to see you, Flora, as he's so engrossed in this book, but perhaps if you catch his attention...}

[porhlayton109]

Ah Flora, It is good to see you. [He tips his hat in kind.]
