Day one: The Investigation Begins
"Professor," Luke said, walking into his mentors office. "You have a message on the telegraph machine."
"We have a telegraph machine?" Luke rolled his eyes.
"Yes, I've only been telling you for the past year!"
"Oh, that telegraph machine. Well, what does the message say?" Luke tried to smooth the paper out. He had wrinkled it in his haste.
"It says, "Dear Professor Layton, STOP." Layton interrupted.
"Wait, stop doing what? Do they want me to help them or not?" Luke huffed.
"Look, do you want me to read it to you?"
"Fine, proceed." Luke blinked.
"What does proceed mean?" Layton snatched the paper out of his apprentice's hand.
"Fine! I'll read it myself!" he scanned the paper and muttered to himself. "Dear Professor Layton, STOP I need your help STOP I live in a town being taken over by birds STOP It used to be called Westville, but now it has been re-named the Bird Town STOP I want you to get rid of the birds immediately because there are so many of these animals that we have had to evacuate STOP There are a few residents remaining in the town, mostly the stubborn, old people and the crazy security guard STOP
"In fact, he is so crazy, he has been lobbying for a statue of himself to be up in town square, but we keep telling him to get lost STOP Anyways, please come to our town and rid it of those bloody birds STOP I'm not kidding, they have gotten the taste of human flesh STOP That crazy security guard guy just insisted on brawling a couple of birds and it didn't go quite as planned STOP Please help us, we are in grave danger STOP
"Plus, I forgot my cat in my house when I was evacuating STOP Mr. Dibbles can't be alone or else he gets distressed STOP Thank you in advance STOP PS: If you fail, we will hunt you down and kill your entire family STOP"." Layton set the telegraph down and sipped his tea thoughtfully, before spitting it out.
"What the housebiscuits? Luke, I thought I said freshly brewed tea, not this instant crap!"
"I'm sorry professor, we were all out of water." Layton sighed and facepalmed.
"Well then, it seems we have no choice but to help this unfortunate town." Luke moaned.
"But professor, we don't have time for a field test today!" Layton frowned.
"This is not a field test! It's more like an...espedition." he snapped, waving his arms about. "Besides, a true gentleman does not refuse a plea of help."
"I wouldn't call it a plea, this doesn't even seem worth our time," Luke muttered under his breath.
"It's settled then!" Layton cried, slamming his hand down on the desk, the spirit of adventure glinting in his eyes. "We shall depart for this so-called Bird Town immediately. Luke,"
"Yes professor?" Layton narrowed his eyes.
"TO THE LAYTON MOBILE!"
Author's Note: I've always wanted to hear the professor say that last line! :3 Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of the Bird Town!
Please remember to review! :D
