Professor Layton & Luke Triton - Professor Layton & The Curious Village
Heather: When I started the Layton series I was like, "THIS KID. WHY." But as the first game (and the series) went on, he became my tiny, little precious cinnamon roll. When Nate started playing the first game, we both cackled, "COSPLAAAAAAAY!" And we knew it had to happen. Especially due to the height difference - it actually worked for us here! :D
Nate: I left the handheld gaming world in the early Pokemon days with no huge desire to go back. After several nights of Heather obsessively playing the Professor Layton series I knew there must be something to it. A set of games with excellently written stories and characters would turn into an excellently fun time at many conventions to come! No kidding, I think we have worn these costumes at least 5 different cons or events. I just have to make sure that, due to my giantism, my top hat doesn't become a casualty of puzzlewar.

Luke Triton - Professor Layton & The Last Specter
Heather: In addition to the Luke Triton costume from The Curious Village, I also pulled together a Last Specter tiny!Luke! A friend of ours (Leesers, who you might recognize from the 999 & VLR photos/pages!) was bringing her Remy costume to Otakon and to match her we decided to do Last Specter Layton and Luke! This was really easy for Nate since Layton apparently never changes his clothes. Tiny, younger Luke needed a little bit more though. Also, this is when my foot problems were acting up. I was in a wheelchair all weekend and had to lean on magical convention center glass for these photos, hehe. It's also why my foot is hidden because of the wrap thing around it.
