"Dead end," Vasily grumbled. "Th' whole place's a dead end."
"Then, uh, where...where do we go? How do we get outta here?"
As Jordan whimpered, twisting his hands around each other, Vasily stood silently for a few seconds. "We're apparently in some Joe's mind, which honestly don't make much sense t' me. But anyways, even if we tried goin' out th' front door, we wouldn't be escaping. I guess..." And here, the pirate looked towards the staircase, "...th' only way t' go is up."
Both hesitated to enter the stairways with the suspicious smell of smoke and burning beetles still in the air, and it was during this hesitation that the rabbit-Manikin sped up towards them and attacked.

"...and out the windows are buildings arranged in an impossible perspective, which I assume is because of Joe Peacock's feelings of inferiority. The buildings all tower in an intimidating manner, making one feel smaller than they actually are..."
It was hard for Rong to resist the urge to attempt to behead Right (or maybe behead herself). His psychoanalysis had been going on for a while. It was driving her insane. All this blathering about windows and stature and endless hallways and god this was all so stupid.
"...a multi-layered subconscious, which explains the 'basement' warning as going down would just take us deeper into the subconscious into possibly some darker secrets..."
Rong's bloodlust was starting to peak dangerously once more. If only she could go back in time and kill every stupid Chinese philosopher that ever existed.
"...so if that's true, what do you suppose would happen if we went to the roof? It would be the closest level to the conscious part of the mind..."
"Idon'tknowIdon'tknowIDON'TKNOW will you SHUT UP ALREADY! WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT SOME DWARF, HUH?"
Right grimaced, his antlers vibrating at Rong's sudden shriek. "You didn't have to be so loud...oh, look, I think I see the topic of our discussion right now."
"Your discussion," Rong grumbled.
As Eemp approached Joe Peacock from behind, Right tried to put up a friendly grin that didn't seem threatening in the least. It faltered once he saw what Joe was staring at now.
It looked somewhat like...a whale-lobster-insect. There was no other way he could describe it. "I-I guess this is what he meant by 'monstrosities.'"
"So, smartass, what does this symbolize?"
"I...have no idea."
"Can I kill it?"
It seemed by Rong's eager grin that even if he said no, she would go ahead anyways. "Just watch out for Joe."
"Dead end," Vasily grumbled. "Th' whole place's a dead end."
