[The best way to figure out the ups and downs of a puzzling situation is to explore! Right? Luke thinks so, and he's wandering up and down the streets of Luministi Greens East to get an idea of the lay of the land, so to speak, in his new neighborhood. It's weird to think about so he's trying not to; walking felt more familiar, prompting him to leave his bicycle at home.

"Home", rather.

After a while of sorting things out (the layout is nothing complicated, but he wants to sit down with a map anyway and start getting things all noted down in his notebook) he starts fiddling with the CAT again. The video function is pretty useful!]

The food they left out for us was sort of disappointing, wasn't it? I've got something less unimpressive, if anyone wants to hear a puzzle.

Well, then, I'll say this much -- looks like someone around here's the same.

[luke_triton]

Really? Who?

[detectiveofthewest]

Whoever brought us here, of course.

[luke_triton]

Oh...you don't know who it is either?

[detectiveofthewest]

Nah. Although I'd say that Caligin guy'd make a good suspect, for starters.

[luke_triton]

He's the mayor of this town, right?

[Now, Luke is predisposed to have a bit of sympathy for mayors. Especially after what happened in Misthallery.]

...What if he's just being made to look responsible?

[detectiveofthewest]

Could be. I'm kinda worried about that message, though. You saw it, too, right? The video one.

[luke_triton]

You mean the one about the sundials? What's that got to do with your idea?

[detectiveofthewest]

Well, the mayor was involved in recording the message, right? And he didn't really seem under duress while he was talkin'. I'd say that's a pretty good reason to figure he's involved in this mess.

On the other hand, we ain't seen him yet, either. So is he just hidin'? Or something happen to the guy?

[luke_triton]

I guess I'm just...careful about suspecting people. [No. No he's not. It's just...his dad. That's all.]

...What if it's a really old recording?

[detectiveofthewest]

Then we probably have someone tryin' to pull the wool over our eyes.

[luke_triton]

For all we know...it could be one of the other people here, just pretending to be confused.

[detectiveofthewest]

With a town this size, it'll be a little tough to weed out suspects, too. Well. Them's the breaks, I guess.
