One Shred of Proof

"Sorry--what?"

He looked down at the offending foot, blinking for a moment in uncomprehension before noticing the small book under his heel.

"It’s been over six months since I’ve come here, and to be honest, I never expected to meet so many people! Cor, I never expected to make as many friends that I have either! Of course, I met with some of my old friends here, too, and have had so many adventures! I can’t wait for the new adventures yet to come!"

Like the muse has said, I never expected to have so much support. I know I’m not perfect and I’m terrible at keeping track of threads and replies. In addition, often times my muse won’t cooperate, especially on days when I have given tasks with school and other things. Sometimes I’m grumpy or sad, and sometimes I rant. Sometimes I’m hyper and weird, and yet, so many of you have chosen to stick with me for so long. In addition, so many of you are willing to roleplay with Luke! I know the Professor Layton series isn’t very popular in the west, and especially not on tumblr, compared to Disney, Dreamworks, Doctor Who, and all of that lovely stuff—I had thought that I wouldn’t really find a lot of partners because I had believed that they were so unfamiliar with my muse. One thing is for sure, I don’t plan to stop roleplaying as my muse anytime soon. He is a character that I love and I have been so easily inspired by. I thank you all so much for your support! Anyways, back to my point! I haven’t done a giveaway since when I reached 400 followers…more or less, I had a hard time completing stuff, so I’ve lessened the prizes to something I can manage easier for the winners. I will be picking three like last time; a first, second, and third prize winner. I will not be picking the same winners as last time unless they end up in a different place than the last one. Keep that in mind!

Rules

You must be following me! No exceptions!

You must be a roleplay blog or have one!

Do not follow me just to participate and then unfollow me as soon as the giveaway is over, especially if you are one of the prize winners! It’s unfair to those who follow me to roleplay or read my posts, and furthermore, I will prohibit you from further participating in future giveaways!

You may like and reblog this as many times as you’d like, but it will only count once! Don’t spam your followers’ dashboards!

If your muse is an OC, then you MUST provide me a full reference of your character! If you cannot provide me with one, then I will have to pick another winner. I don’t want to do it, but because all three prizes include drawings, I will need one!

You can reblog this for any muse you have, but only one of your muses will get the prize! I’m not doing all of them! This also goes for roleplay blogs for multiple muses. You must choose a specific muse from your blog, you cannot get a drawing and icons each for all of them!

Prizes

First Prize Winner Will Get!

A fully colored digital drawing of their muse like this!

Seven days of Promotions!

20 icons of their muse!*

Second Prize Winner will get!

A traditionally colored, and inked sketch of their muse like this!

Five Days of Promotions!

10 icons of their muse!*

Third Prize Winner will get!

A sketch of their muse, like this!

Three days of Promotions!

Five icons of their muse!*

*Note: if your muse is also an OC, then you will get two sketches of your OC instead of just one. I admit, I don’t know if I could draw up to twenty seperate icons for an OC >.<

The Giveaway ends on Sunday, March 30th! Two Days after Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney Comes out!

She chewed on her lip nervously, trying to think of something she could say that would make her companion feel a bit better. She could only imagine how confusing it would be to suddenly swap genders. No wonder she thought Anna would think she was crazy. 

"Well, you’re obviously not crazy. Magic can do a lot of weird things, so this isn’t really too big of a stretch. I mean, I was turned into an ice sculpture for a few minutes - which was a really, really nasty experience, I can tell you." It was probably easier to change a living thing into another living thing, right?

She sighed and laid a hand on Mildred’s shoulder in an effort to calm her. “It’s alright, you can freak out as much as you want. Just… better do it quietly.” She glanced back at the shopkeeper, “I’m not really sure what to do if people recognize you, but d’you think they’ll recognize you in skirts and petticoats and stuff?”

Mildred tensed slightly as Anna's hand came down on her shoulder, but didn't flinch away. She nodded at the younger woman's suggestion, though her eyes were baleful and she still looked extremely upset. And really, who wouldn't be, given the circumstances?

Mildred shrugged, "I don't know, I don't know. To be honest, now that I think about it, I'm...I'm not really sure if anyone paid enough attention to me before to notice. I sort of...moved away from here a while ago, and I didn't exactly leave behind a lot of friends." She shook her head, scowling and poking at her glasses, "But these're a dead giveaway! But I can't exactly go without them--I'm so nearsighted I wouldn't make it five minutes without getting hit by a car or something. Plus, my hair is...kinda similar to what it was before." Unconsciously, she reached up and brushed at her bangs, sweeping them slightly to the side, though immediately finding the sensation odd and shaking her head to settle them again.

She smiled up at Mildred and shrugged. “That’s alright, I’ve had worse reactions.” She assured her. At the offer of help her eyes lit up. “Oh, that would be nice. Er, if you don’t mind, of course.” She handed over some of her hair and continued down the hall. The sound of footsteps made her pause.

Rapunzel abruptly stopped, nearly causing Mildred to crash into her. "What?" she asked, then heard it. Her face went pale, and she gulped. Indeed, there were footsteps heading near this hall. And this hall was only supposed to be accessible to employees, which meant this had to be somebody who worked here--and most of the folks who worked here at least knew of the crazy boiler-boy. And if this was one of the board of regents...she was doomed.

"Ach, do not be ridiculous. Everyone who does not know for certain has definitely guessed. You talk as if it were not obvious. Were you trying to keep it secretive?" 

"Er, no, not exactly. I mean, I did just tell you, didn't I?" He smiled weakly, "I'm just surprised, since I didn't tell anyone, and there really wasn't anything going on between us by the time you guys left." Then, he frowned, the light beginning to dawn on him, "...It's...completely obvious, then, isn't it?"

'Nothing going on' might've been a bit of an overstatement, judging by the way Milo and Kida had been looking at each other, the way Milo had sort-of risked his entire existence to save her...but still.
