Luke Triton | Professor Layton

[hintcoinplz]

Hello, Luke Triton here! I'm not here right now, but I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

In the meantime, why don't you solve this puzzle?

"As a man jumps out of a window, he hears the telephone ring and regrets having jumped. Why is that?"

[truffulacide]

Uhhhh. If I answer correctly, will you finally stop putting off going bowling with me? This is the third time we've had to reschedule.

Call me back!

[hintcoinplz]

[It's hard to make time for fun things like bowling when there's ~mysteries~ to be solved.

One call back later.]

Mhm! We can go tonight. As long as you don't drop the bowling ball on my foot this time, that is.

[truffulacide]

Is that what you've been upset about? I thought you said it didn't hurt that bad.

[hintcoinplz]

...It was a bowling ball. On my toe.

Anyway, that's not the reason I've been putting it off. I found something really cool!

[truffulacide]

And I said I was sorry. What do you want, blood?

[oooh?]

Um, Luke. Just to be clear, your definition of cool is disturbingly different from mine. Is this detective business, or is it something actually awesome?

[hintcoinplz]

I mean really awesome! [Are you implying his detective stuff isn't cool :|] It's a really old map that leads to some ruins.

[truffulacide]

[uh oh]

Okay, I take it back: that IS awesome. So it's like a treasure map?

[hintcoinplz]

I don't know. It might be, or it could lead to some kind of ancient civilization!

[truffulacide]

- Which would technically have treasure hidden somewhere in it, right? Buildings made of gold, streets paved with diamonds and stuff, just like El Dorito.

[at least he thinks that's what he remembers it being called.]

[hintcoinplz]

Well, maybe! If it's pretty well-guarded, we'll know if there's something worth finding down there.

[Oh man this is sounding more and more like an adventure this is exciting.]

Maybe they've got some ancient puzzles down there too!

[truffulacide]

Ancient puzzles controlling mechanisms leading to certain death, mind you. You know you've stumbled upon treasure when you keep running into those.

[he'll leave the puzzles to Luke, and Eddie if they bring him along too. it would pay off to have a human shield.]

[hintcoinplz]

Well what good is finding treasure if there's nothing guarding it? And the bigger the traps, the more stuff we'll probably find!

[He should not be this gleeful about death traps but...

puzzles...]

[truffulacide]

[he squishes the phone between his shoulder and the side of his hand so he can clap giddily.]

How long will it take to get there? Is it it going to be an overnight kind of deal, or do we have to do [UGH] research? I can't speak any dead languages, just for the record.

[hintcoinplz]

I think I've got it figured out for the most part. We can probably get there in about an hour, it looks like. We should pack plenty of supplies in case it takes us a while to get back.

[truffulacide]

Can do, but I should say first that the longest I'm willing to spend out there is... [pause] ...A day and a half, tops. And that's assuming we're going alone.

Which we probably shouldn't. We need backup in case things get sticky, or if both of us get bitten by some sort of poisonous critter and need our butts hauled out. I can't do much butt-hauling if I'm half dead.

[hintcoinplz]

Maybe Mr. Nigma could come with us too. It'd be helpful in case we got into a bad situation.
