NPC appreciation week - Day 7: Free day

Nils from Miracle Mask

I almost forgot about the last day!! fjdhfd SO I went with Nils, I really liked him! His design is super cute and I loved all his almost snarky commentary and smarts about the goings on in Monte d'Or... and it's lacklustre police force haha. I just thought he was a lot of fun - and maybe kind of ripping off Henry's fashion sense jdhfsjdf

OK IM LATE and i cant do all the days but i had to do my favourite at least, so here's Day 3 for the @layton-npc-appreciation-week

the reason i picked socket this year is bc he's the only black raven who doesn't appear in a single cutscene! which i think is a huge shame, so he'll get a lil more love today. tbh he's got some of the funniest lines in the game, i bet his banter is impeccable lmao

Day 7: free day

Here’s Loosha from specter’s call!🦭 💕

Sorry I skipped two days, I didn’t want to give up on the week fully so I decided to end it on a simple yet cute doodle. Thanks for hosting this week again! Hopefully I’ll be more into it next time ^-^

@layton-npc-appreciation-week Day 3: Mimi!

Mimi has such a pretty design; I love her hair, dress, and expression. She’s also very clear-minded and logical rather than giving in to superstition about Misthallery’s strange happenings, and wants to raise her child to be a puzzle expert!

I went back to my “chalky” lineless style today. I enjoy the watercolor-like style I’ve been experimenting with , but it needs work.

NPC appreciation week: day 3 - Last Specter / Eternal Diva

Arianna and Tony Barde - Last Specter

These two break my heart... I'm glad they had each other in that big empty manor. Hard to wrap my head around how young they are... - I was very taken by the image of Tony's toys scattered in the hallway, I hope they found time to play together and raise each others spirits a bit u_u !!

[ultra-puzzlemaster]

A bit late but for the @layton-npc-appreciation-week, I wanted to talk about Beth from The Last Specter:

Mostly because I've only now realized how important she's for the plot, years after playing LS for the first time.

Spoilers for Last Specter/Spectre's Call ahead!

So Beth worked as a maid for the Barde family, but got fired shortly before Evan's death, then started working in the Triton household. Which means she's the one who can tell you the most about both families and how things changed when the Specter appeared. And she does so!

Her first and perhaps most important action was actually before the game started. If you remember what Luke says…

That's right, she's the one who let Luke know about the flute being sold at the black market! She may not be aware of it but it's thanks to her that Layton and the other get to meet the Black Ravens and learn about Barde, and ultimately

In fact, if you think about it, perhaps she could have told them even more about this flute if they had asked her, since:

She already knew Arianna was the one playing it all along.

But that's not all! She has a role that might be less important for the professor but crucial for us players.

Indeed, she's the one giving us the biggest clues about Doland being an impostor:

In game, Layton realizes and proves he's the mastermind thanks to Luke's notes, which we sadly can't see.

But if we listen to Beth and help her, she'll tell us how Doland suddenly changed after the Specter appeared: his beautiful penmanship became nearly impossible to read, he started going out who-knows-where a lot, didn't gave her clear instructions like he used to, and got mean to her.

Another character, Jasmine, notices and mentions Doland's change in character but she doesn't say much except "he ignored me and my puzzle do you want to solve it?" while Beth gives us an entire puzzle based on Descole's awful handwriting.

And it makes sense: since they work together, she's the most likely to see the cracks in his act, and since he doesn't really care about her, she didn't get kidnapped nor blackmailed.

Other notable things she can tell us include:

Mentioning the oracle and that Doland knows about it.

Another clue that there's something hidden in the cellar, and that when Emmy thought she heard voices it wasn't just her imagination. (also the poor woman started to doubt her own sanity because of Descole)

She confirmed (although was there any doubt about it?) that Barde's death and his will are very strange, even if they were confirmed by the famous police officer Third-Eyed Jakes. She doesn't say it in front of Luke but she suspects that Clark killed Barde and now his ghost is haunting the house.

Speaking of Jakes, she informs you later that Clark left with him.

If you go see her before going to save Arianna she'll tell you that both Clark and Doland left without a word. Layton knows what's going on.

Not a hint but she also has this line:

Poor Beth struggles with Fake Doland's instructions and bad temper to the point she has to repeatedly ask Layton to help, she gives him puzzles (which he likes) and then feels guilty about it. This woman deserves a break. And someone to tell her it's not her fault Doland was so rude to her.

There's a lot more to talk about: how working under a manipulator's supervision affected her self-esteem, how her role in the story was overlooked, how the game treated her character… (I could probably make a whole post about sexism, working classes and the devaluation of social work… but not today)

I'll end with this picture from the credits where we can see Beth regained her place in the Barde's family:

If you've read to the end, thank you very much!

And remember: whoever you are, whatever you do, you matter, and you're more important than you may think.

Layton NPC Appreciation Week

Day 1: Curious Village/ Diabolical Box

A few months ago, I was gifted some Simbrix and never used them. Until today!

I made a little pixel Sammy Thunder, using this artwork as a base.

He turned out a lot bigger than I was expecting, but I'm happy with the results.
