Well, this is certainly odd.

[Emmy stumbles a little as she appears in the lobby - understandable, really, given that she was stepping out of the Laytonmobile just a moment before. Much as she'd been paying more attention to Layton than her surroundings, she rather doubts that they're parked in a building. After all, they were supposed to be outside Misthallery, and who would put a town inside? Other than, well. Turning on her heel, she discovers that the Laytonmobile isn't even there behind her, anyway, and she promptly wheels around in a full circle to try to get a good look at her surroundings.]

Professor Layton!?

...anyone?

Enemies? What does that mean?

[He raises an eyebrow.]

You really don't know me, do you?

[primarydeux.livejournal.com]

Oh? I'm afraid I can't see him ever being a threat to you.

[primarydeux.livejournal.com]

Of course I don't. What reason would I have to lie?

[monocle-layton.livejournal.com]

He must be rather timid in your world then.

[primarydeux.livejournal.com]

I... wouldn't say that he's timid. But I think that he rather admires you.

[monocle-layton.livejournal.com]

Admires? That boy has nothing but loathing for me.

[primarydeux.livejournal.com]

...what makes you think that?

[monocle-layton.livejournal.com]

Didn't I just tell you that he was mounting a rebellion to overthrow my government?

[primarydeux.livejournal.com]

Ahh... well, things must have changed a lot in those years since my time...

[Her voice... cracks a little at the end. What it cracks into for a moment might sound just a little familiar to him.]

[monocle-layton.livejournal.com]

[His eyebrows lower and he frowns suspiciously.]

...Emmy?

[primarydeux.livejournal.com]

Yes, professor?

[THE PICTURE OF INNOCENCE.]

[monocle-layton.livejournal.com]

[Walks closer.]

Something was off with your voice.

[sinisterballet.livejournal.com]

I'm not saying you do...

...Well if we have no problems with the other, tell me, did you just get here?

[primarydeux.livejournal.com]

Oh? Perhaps I'm coming down with a cold.

[monocle-layton.livejournal.com]

A cold doesn't do that to your voice.

[Reaches out to take hold of her arm.]

[primarydeux.livejournal.com]

Yes, I did. I suppose that means that you've been here longer?

[primarydeux.livejournal.com]

I think you ought to try having colds more often, professor, you'll find that it does affect one's voice.

[She allows him to hold her arm, though.]

[monocle-layton.livejournal.com]

And everything else about your appearance, you'd have me believe.

[Stares into her eyes, still clutching at the arm.]

[primarydeux.livejournal.com]

Oh? And what's that supposed to mean?

[sinisterballet.livejournal.com]

Just a bit. From my understanding...well this place pulls people in from all dementions.

I was looking for a way out. I don't suppose you have any information on that...and who else is here? Do you know?

[monocle-layton.livejournal.com]

[Runs his free hand through her hair.]

Is this a wig, 'Emmy'?

[primarydeux.livejournal.com]

Really, professor, are you suggesting that my hair might not be real? How ungentlemanly.

[She can't really suppress her grin right now, though.]

[monocle-layton.livejournal.com]

What are you smirking for then?

[primarydeux.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't found a way out yet... and I've only met a couple of people here.
