It was amusing to John to see the sisters dancing. He most associated the song with his now-lost wife, a nymph named Alice. It took him a while to deal with her departure, assisted by the hands of a Darkling, but now that didn't worry him as much. As the music gently flowed throughout the hallway, he would hum to the lyrics. As he did so, he walked to a section next to the staircase, where a wall-lamp was stationed. As he grips the stem of the lamp, however, a voice that situated from upstairs called, "'Ey, John, tryin' the gramaphone aut?" The voice had a hint of South-East English, which originated from, now walking from the top of the staircase, a red-bandana'd skeleton, wearing nothing more other than a torn, decaying-green loincloth, although the skeleton looked as though he wished he put on something more decent when he noticed the two, strange winged ladies. He bore the permanent look of a one that is a few sandwiches short of a picnic, his eyeholes open in a nearly perfect circle. His stature was that of a string puppet, and a sword, a glowing, magnificent weapon inscribed with runes, slotted within the back of his ribcage.
His circular eyes scrunched up in an expression of contemplation when he saids, "John, who're these people? They don't look like anything I've ever seen before."
John, who's hand was still on the lamp, looked up at the skeleton and said testedly, "First of all, Adam, you've seen humans before, hell, you've been one before, and these ladies are human, as far as I can tell, aside from the wings of course, and second of all, they're in fact from another world. You should know, I threw you into another world before!"
He would turn to the sisters and smile. "This is Adam, my brother. If I were the brains, he would definitely be the brawns. As in, he's a bit thick." He would turn back to his dumber brother. "Adam, this is Elyzia and Valfiel. They came from Grand Gaia, I know you would be confused as to what that is, I'm sure it's not in the Imagiverse, surprisingly."
Adam Skelecoot would look back at the sisters, attempting to pronounce their names under his breath, with little success, before his eyes would widen back into circles. "Nice to meet you! John's good at sending people to other worlds, I should know, he threw me in one at one time." He would unsheathe his sword from his ribcage. "And this is Hope! It was made around the time the Imagiverse was being made, for the first Adam Skelecoot. Oh, there was another Adam Skelecoot before me, a hero made by the Creators to defend the world before he disappeared. I'm the second one!" He would give a grin, revealing his lack of front teeth, the only remaining upper teeth were the second-from-the-middle pair. "I'm a Chosen One, a warrior born to protect the Imagiverse from whatever demons live in it!"
John would chuckle. "Yeah, yeah, thanks for the info, numbskull," he would say half-heartedly. "Yes, he was elected at death to protect the Imagiverse, along with three others, but I won't burden you with that information." As he says this, he would tug at the lamp he was holding, the stem shifting 90 degrees downwards. A section beside it would open up, revealing a surprisingly well-lit stairway downwards. "Adam, if you wish to come, you are free to follow. As for you," he would direct this to the sisters, "This way will provide some progress in sending you back to Grand Gaia." He would walk down the stairway, as Adam would somersault down the staircase and follow him down.
