[Sometimes living here is hard. Being anywhere and hungry is hard for Luke. It gets in the way of his thinking. They've been working to gather up what food they can, but keeping it portioned to account for everyone is getting him down.
So instead of using the bicycle, he's walking into town from East A1. Slow, dejected, and keeping his eyes on the ground or the CAT in his hands instead of the scenery. People have been talking for days about "stuff from their home" showing up, and Luke has seen no such things and rather doesn't want to. What if it's something terrible?
Come now, Luke, my boy.
His head snaps up, eyes searching the immediate area faster than his brain can process. It makes him dizzy and he doesn't care, that was Professor Layton, it's been months-]
Professor? [He turns in a full circle, always looking over a shoulder.] Professor, was that you? ...Am I really hearing things?
[And then he sees it. A dilapidated once-red automobile, sitting in the grass several feet to the side of the path, overgrown with weeds, dirty, rusted. Perfect. It's a perfect Future Laytonmobile.
He hasn't run this fast in a very long time.]
It's real! I can't believe it, it's really his car! [He shakes the CAT a bit, hitting a few buttons that switch the video on.] Professor Layton's car is here! This is great, maybe it means...
...But I don't see anyone else. [Seconds before he has to whirl again at the sound of an achingly familiar, quiet laugh.] I hear him and I don't see him. [This only seems to bother him for the space of a few breaths.] Hey- Kanaya! I can show you now what I meant when I talked about a car. I wonder if it could still move...

... Terezi doesn't count.

[He is suddenly very glad she doesn't get to try it.]
Who's Terezi?
no subject
A troll like myself, only her horns are both straight and she wears red glasses. You may have seen her broadcasting messages on the network in teal blue font with all capital letters and an assortment of numbers in place of vowels.

What did you think it was?

...He's turning a very bright red and looking down at his shoes and mumbling.]
Threereezy.
[AND head up]
But that's what it looked like! The way she makes her words is, uhm, well you talked about it just now!

Okay, I can see how that happened. It is just Terezi being Terezi, and she has always been a little eccentric in most regards. She takes some getting used to.
