For day 2 of @layton-npc-appreciation-week we have puzzlette!!

She’s actually one of my favourites! This is also counts as a future Puzzlette design too!

Fun head cannon I have, Granny Riddleton leaves all the puzzles in Puzzlette’s care when she retires/dies?

And by then Puzzlette has become a lot more wise and less naive, her and beezly still argue sometimes but they are friends! But she’s still the same kindhearted lady you meet in unwound future!

[pentacle-artist]

I had one of the greatest ideas ever

So Granny Riddleton always acts like she's never met Layton and Luke before.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if there's actually multiple Granny Riddletons like Nurse Joy in Pokémon.

A family of old ladies with a supernatural connection to puzzles

And then there's Puzzlette (she's great)

[plposting]

Just read the tags on your post about Jubey - are they like a stachenscarfan situation?

Kinda! It’s a cross of a Granny Riddleton and Stachenscarfen situation

The main difference is that Jubey doesn’t really retain a singular canon relationship every interaction is reset/new between each scenario unless specified otherwise (established aus/stories)

So her general existence is kind of floaty I typically will just slot Jubey in wherever I want her to be and she kinda just exists as an enigma

The weird stuff abt her kinda being vaguely omnipotent but also not having consistent connections could probably played up as angsty but I mainly just use it to make Jubey kinda creepy this weird girl knows too much

Granny Riddleton, Puzzlette, and Stachenscarfen will always have some sort of connection to Jubey and always know about her (she doesn’t like the Riddletons much tho, she kinda likes Stachenscarfen)

[donpaoloslongnose]

I love your rainbow magic au! Any one-off's?

I'm not sure what Rainbow magic au you're talking about but I'm pretty sure it's the professor Layton au.

I guess I'm thinking of a one-off in the au.It's called Puzzlett the puzzle keeper fairy.

Granny riddleton used to be the puzzle keeper fairy and decided to give the magical object to her granddaughter since she's getting too old.

And guess what? Beesly's alive [Yay!]

I'll try to work on the plot later if I can.Stay tuned!

@layton-npc-appreciation-week day 3: unwound future

I did not expect to care about Puzzlette and Beasly nearly as much as I actually ended up caring about them. But here we are.

Please read the content warnings on this fic; this is all technically canon compliant but a little more willing to talk about the dark stuff going on.

ohhh i am in LOVE with them

[Image ID: large digital sketches in a semi-realistic style of Granny Riddleton and Puzzlette from Professor Layton in dark red pencil on a plain orange background. Granny Riddleton is smiling and waving on the left and Puzzlette is standing with her hands behind her back and a cute surprised expression on the right. /.End ID]

Flora: Where’d you learn to pick a lock like that?

Puzzlette: My grandma.

[laytonnpcbracket]

Welcome to the Layton NPC Showdown!

This is a bracket to determine which of the many memorable NPCs from across the Professor Layton games are the greatest.

GAMES INCLUDED: Every game except LBMR. Eternal Diva characters are also not included here.

WHAT COUNTS AS AN NPC?: Anyone who doesn't have a puzzle animation. Characters excluded are Layton, Luke, Flora, Clive, Emmy, Randall, Aurora, Des, Espella, Phoenix, Maya, Katrielle, Ernest, Sherl, Hastings, and Emiliana.

WILL THERE BE NOMINATIONS?: Nope! Every NPC will be included.

WHAT ABOUT THE LAYTONMOBILE/MOLENTARY EXPRESS?: No vehicles. Not characters.

WHAT ABOUT THE PUZZLE LADS/LASSES?: I only plan on including characters that we can speak to in-game, so no Puzzle Lads or Lasses. Sorry to the people who like them 😔

WHICH CHARACTERS ARE INCLUDED, THEN?: Anyone who isn't an exception listed above that is in the profiles of the game! A full list is enclosed below.

WHEN WILL THE TOURNAMENT START?: More information forthcoming on that! I have to seed the bracket first :)

WHY IS NAIYA YOUR ICON?: In my opinion, she's one of the more underrated NPCs of the series. I'll probably cycle through some of the ones I have available to me right now.

WHAT CRITERIA SHOULD I VOTE ON?: Whatever makes you happy :)

ARE ALTER EGOS SEPERATE CHARACTERS?: No. For instance, Ratman is not included because his secret identity is in the tournament.

US OR UK NAMES?: I will try to make available as many names for the NPCs as possible! Which includes their Japanese names and as many names in the localizations as I am able to obtain from the wiki and my own sources. I'll probably reliably have the English (both versions where applicable), Japanese, and French names for every character when I do the bracket rounds. The list below however is entirely in English.

And now for a list of the entries! I didn't check all of these for inconsistencies, but I attempted to ascertain that I used the US versions. Some of them might be UK versions though because that's the version of the game I have (specifically Diabolical Box NPCs and Last Specter NPCs -- I know some of their US names but not all).

Headcanon that Puzzle Lass 3 from Azran Legacy is the daughter of Granny Riddleton and the mother of Puzzlette.

Like her family, she works with puzzles, but instead of collecting them, she takes part in them.

She inherited her mother's short stature and long nose, and her daughter has a similar hairstyle.

She's allowed to be a bit snooty because her mother is the puzzle master and everyone needs to deal with it.

Readable on Google Drive!

Oh, c-coffee? Ha, ha— thank you, but I’m… I think I’m fine for now. But— well, I do understand that you might need it yourself, though. So many testimonies to hear in such a short time, I— I admire your courage. I just hope you will believe us, because… well, j-just keep an open mind, alright? Your coffee will… probably help with that. At least I suppose it’s what allows you to keep your calm all the time, right? Some things just have this ability to… let you forget all your worries. Tea is one example among many: it’s an absolute delight for anyone’s taste, it allows everyone to pause for any thoughts they wish to wonder about— Tea clears your mind, and always makes you feel all the more ready to face any difficulties you might encounter.

…

And then comes music. So light and heart-warming. Music is timeless. Music lets you forget up to the mere existence of reality. It would let us forget up to the very reason why we are here.

… And the reasons why, perhaps, we shouldn’t have been here.

…

Ah, um, well— yes, sometimes I… do wonder what would have happened if we hadn’t been there. But though we went through many dangers and despite the fact that I would probably have preferred avoiding this— I actually am glad that we did. Under retrospect, things would have gone much worse if it weren’t for our journey back there.

…

Oh, um— yes, sorry, of course. You want me to actually explain it, right. From the very beginning? I… will do my best.

Everything began on the day we received this letter. Luke warned us about a mystery revolving around Inglewood, a little Irish village not too far from Dublin, where he has been living with his parents for a little more than two months.

Some inhabitants from this village had started to disappear mysteriously a few days earlier. You would first think about a simple kidnapping case, but the other piece of the puzzle he gave us… made us realize that the truth was far more intricate.

Luke had joined to his letter some pictures showing very peculiar equine creatures who, according to his sayings, had started to appear in the nearby forest around the same period of time. Due to some of the inhabitants’ legends and folklore, these creatures were the first suspects for the disappearances and some organized monster hunts had begun; but this would only increase the risk of one of these men to disappear themselves. Besides, Luke firmly claimed that he was positive of these ponies’ absolute innocence: the professor and I trusted him, and as it turned out— they really didn’t have anything to do with the actual case, besides being victims themselves of the same phenomenon.

That being said— though we did prepare our departure as soon as we could, we did not leave immediately. Part of it was because the ferry would only leave a few days later of course, but… Something else happened as well in London, just the night before we left.

  Ono-B2.2β Covent Garden, London (England) March 4th, 1964 — 09:42 PM

Janice Quatlane’s talent was just as impressive as the professor had told me. She had offered us to attend her concert a week earlier, so we could not just break our promise at the last moment; besides, I wouldn’t have missed a concert like this one for anything in the world! I have to admit— though I was already thinking about the case we had to solve, I was just happy and overjoyed over practically anything at this time. I was looking forward to finally reuniting with Luke, and I was also eager to solve puzzles with them like before. The professor had even promised that I would really accompany them and actively take part in the investigation, this time! I was… Why, yes, I was excited about this case. Ecstatic, even. But this concert… should have been a first warning to me. I should have known that the case from three months ago was… not as singular as I wished.

There is so much we don’t know about this place.

There is so much we don’t understand.

Our world is dangerous.

When she was kidnapped under the entire audience’s presence, the panic that resulted was immediate. The professor ordered me to call the police, so I straightaway ran to the hall as fast as I could. Back in the theatre, the commotion was suffocating. Some people claimed they had seen men in black outright abducting her, but this flash of light was so intense, it was hard to tell whether they really were wearing black, or even if they were there at all. Well, now we know for sure that there indeed were agents back there, but— we only learned about these facts on the next day.

On that night, I found the professor on the stage, intensely trying to make some sense out of this phenomenon; needless to say, all of his theories were deconstructed as soon as he was considering them. Even when the police arrived and the forensics ran tests on the scene, not a single hint could be found. No trapdoors. No traces of flare bombs. A perfect alibi for the technical crew responsible for the spotlights. Out of the two puzzles we had to solve on that night, none met a conclusion. Despite the long hours of investigation, neither the intense light nor the fact that they had disappeared from the entire audience’s field of vision within less than a mere second could be explained: the flash of light seemed to have simply come out of nowhere, but this was impossible; the potential abductors would have found some way to not only escape from the stage on their own, but to also supposedly drag along with them a resilient victim, all of this within less than a second, without making a sound. This, too, seemed impossible.

The opera’s exits had been secured all along, obviously, but despite the police’s intense searching, neither Janice nor any potential suspects could be found. It seemed impossible at the time, but they were long gone by then. We simply had no idea how far from us they already were…

Many attempts to find a rational solution to this miracle followed, always getting more extravagant than the last. None of them ever found the slightest ounce of relevance. Even an elaborated and meticulously premeditated escape, using the multiple ropes, their respective counterbalances and the numerous beams hidden behind the stage’s curtains in order to escape through the ceiling, eventually proved to be impracticable. The inspector was tearing his hair out each time the professor was proving his theories wrong.

One single word repeatedly showed up in their debates. “Impossible.” And even the professor’s look seemed to tell that it was impossible.

…

Maybe because it was the answer we would have preferred keeping in mind.

[call-me-rucy]

Very scientific ranking of the known characters most likely to return in NWOS

Stachenscarfen: Self explanatory. In the sense that it will be unexplained. But he will be there. You can’t explain Stachenscarfen.

Granny Riddleton: Or maybe Puzzlette if they’re feeling adventurous. But most likely the Granny on a well deserved vacation (thanks to a change of the system to make puzzles stay in places through the story?).

Brenda and Clark Triton: The in-canon reason for the game. Luke is 14, he most certainly lives with them, does he not? Very likely to be around.

Flora: Could reasonably come following Layton and pop unexpectedly á la Lost Future. Also could very easily be written off as “Ah, yes, Flora, she found a job at a flower shop and is living her own life now”.

Marina: On the one hand, she’s knows Luke so she can very reasonably be there. On the other hand, I’m not sure if a game who will probably marketed towards nostalgic old fans will bother bringing something from the anime up. I’d love it but. Unlikely.

Emmy: Last seen traveling the world. This is the world. Could be a cool “old team back together”. However, for all my hopes, it’s only being two years in canon since Azran Legacy. Too soon?

And I’m not getting any more hope up. Nopes, nopes. Don’t want to suffer and it’s still a long wait.
