After I did that Professor Layton To Be a Princess video, I've been thinking of who would be whom if I tried to cast all the Layton characters in it, and it's hard to decide for most of them, but one choice is certain: Descole would be Preminger

And the image of it was stuck in my head so I ended up making this with Flipnote Studios on my DSi:

(in case you're curious, Preminger was voiced by none other than Martin Short in what was possibly one of his best performances ever and I mean that quite seriously)

The original scene is here

Transcript:

Layton/Julian: Perhaps I can help you look for her?

Descole/Preminger: Why don't you stick to your books, school boy. Wouldn't that be fun? AHAHAHAHA!

Otherworldly Flora and Futuristic Creatures by the Haas Brothers Illuminate the Nasher Sculpture Center Grounds

A bizarre botanical collection sprouts from the grounds at Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas. A tall, spindly specimen with a droopy head illuminates a walkway, while a sprawling tree lush with strawberries looms large in a gallery. Patinaed in an otherworldly blue, these cast bronze sculptures seem like they’ve emerged from a radioactive swamp or been transplanted from a distant planet.

Uhhhh 21, 22, 27 for Helix and Flora, 26 for Helix and Charlie?

HEHEHE HIII THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOUUU!!

21. What is their worst memory together?

now this is a great question because these bitches suffered more than jesus but. id say DYING was a pretty bad memory!!! yeah!!! getting hunted for sport and dying and feeling their joint body be disintegrated on the most fundamental level as they try to separate the corrupted fragment from the rest before it reaches their vital organs!!! that was pretty bad i think!!!

22. When were they the most vulnerable with each other?

this is a very interesting thing 2 me because like. helix and flora always have been Very vulnerable with each other..... during descension arc, more out of Necessity. flora is a malevolent entity living in helixs body and aware of their every move, so its not like they have a choice to keep Anything from her, really, but. it goes the other way too..... flora has barely began to Exist and shes only really becoming a person and everything she does is contextualized by helixs life. and that pretty much continues throughout schicksal arc, with the exception that flora is no longer Profoundly Evil and allows helix privacy. its just that helix doesnt have a Need for privacy from her? the line between which experience is whose blurs together at that point. they have their own thoughts and opinions and theyre Separate, but every single moment of their lives is spent together, and they feel the same pain..... to the point it cant even be called vulnerability because thats just how they Are. all the time. complete insight into the others psyche not out of an invasion of privacy, but out of complete trust to let the other have that insight. [this Backfires when theyre separated and suddenly, a massive blank spot appears in each and every aspect of their everyday lives. for flora especially.]

27. How far would they go for each other? Would they risk their own lives for each other?

they WOULD and they HAVE. i mean. once again coming back to their Goddamn Outbreak but it shines sooooo so well there..... helix feels every inch of their body be torn asunder and can barely see through the pain and still tears off their arm, because if they didnt, floras herrscher core would be destroyed. theyd suffer no real damage. theyd live. but flora wouldnt so whats the point!!! and flora, flora takes over their body and becomes a caricature of herself- and laughs and taunts people as if she truly was evil- just so that when the dust settles, if they dont manage to get away, shell be the one they blame and not helix. helix, if it were up to flora, would be rid of their sins and hailed an innocent martyr....

---

26. How would these characters react to being stuck in a small room with each other?

VERY much depends on which arc we're considering.

schicksal arc? they could manage it Zero problem. they HAVE managed it zero problem! for three years! helix genuinely likes charlie, and at that point, charlie may not like them [<- biggest understatement Ever] but she RESPECTS them. and she's very professional!!!! she WILL bitch and moan about it internally [and externally off duty] but like. charlie is actually a very Reasonable person at that point. theyre going to like. talk about the weather, or recent missions. or sit in complete silence each of them doing their own thing.

entanglement arc? helix is getting all of their limbs torn off one by one. well except for the one they already lost. theyre not fucking fighting back either that robot is Straight out of the hospital and barely alive.

pilgrimage arc....... now THIS is where shit starts getting INTERESTING. pilgrimage arc charlie & helix are fucking WEIRD. because for a Large part of it, being Stuck In A Small Room With Each Other is. pretty much just their reality. both literally and metaphorically. they are around each other All The Time... just cause they. have to. so like theyll both come out of it Alive but its definitely not going to be the superficially polite sort of interaction that it was in schicksal arc.

What if Xanthe Huynh voiced Cure Flora?

[hakogyi]

[vanaglori-ah]

why am i so attracted to nathan bateman? i should not be giggling and shit.

it's because he's played by oscar isaac that's why

[stayininmylane]

Ive been thinking about some of the really funny audios that came out of AI-voiced Layton characters (DearestHershel's "Villains play Minecraft" videos, The Town that Makes You Old, etc).

And like, they're *entertaining,* but they could be so much funnier (and ethical as a plus) with impressionists. Phone-mic, unprofessional VAs having a hilarious time.

The question is, then, would anyone be interested in helping make that? I'm wayy to busy to lead a project like that, but it would be so amazing to make that happen...
