3rd Person's POV
"I can't really see much. We could jump down, hope for the best." Jedediah suggested as they looked out of another grate they had ended up walking to.
"But we have no idea what's down there," Octavius said. After being said they heard a thumping throughout the vent.
"We don't know what's up here, either," Jedediah said before they jumped down.
"This is a Roman city. I can feel the familiar pull of history in its very foundations." Octavius said looking around.
"Where the heck is everybody?" Jedediah asked because the miniature city was empty apart from the cowboy and Roman.
"I've seen this town before, I'm sure of it," Octavius concluded.
"Romans?" Jedediah yelled.
Larry had continued to lead the group through the Asia section of the British Museum. Lancelot walled next to Nicky.
"I see you have the name of a lady on your arm," Lancelot commented.
"Andrea. Yeah."
"So this Lady Andrea is your Guinevere. Does any man stand between you and your ladylove?"
"Yeah, actually. My dad kind of messed things up the other night." Nicky explained.
"Nick." Lancelot started, grabbing Nicky's shoulder.
"Oh, we're stopping."
"Let no man stand between you and your destiny."
"Oh, 'destiny' may be overstating it a bit. We just have calculus together. It's more one of those...fleeting moments of eye contact. 'Who's gonna look away first?' But I get you. No man..." Nicky said to Lancelot.
"Good."
"Okay."
Jedediah and Octavius had walked to the edge to find the name of the familiar city.
"'Iiepwop.'" Octavius said.
"Iiepwop," Jedediah repeated, trying out the foreign word.
"Doesn't ring a bell."
"Now who's this son of a gun?" Next Jedediah asked tapping Octavius and pointing to a statue across from them.
"Pompeii!" The statue yells.
"I'm sorry. I'm having trouble hearing you!" Octavius yelled.
"Pompeii!"
"No comprendo, amigo...because you got the thing in front of you!" Jedediah tried to yell.
"What are they doing?" Octavius asked Jedediah, pointing at miniatures running away from Iiepwop.
"Where in the blazes are they stampeding off to?" Jedediah asked Octavius. "Was it something we said?" He asked yelling at the people running away while laughing.
"Come on back to Iiepwop! There's plenty of room!"
"Come on back! They're as crazy as road lizards."
"People are strange," Octavius concluded.
Back in Asia, the group touring through was stopped by a little golden statue.
"Hey, guy. We're just passing through." Larry said. The little guy kept mumbling in his high-pitched voice.
"It's a Garuda from Tibet," Teddy informed.
"A Garuda? Hi, Garuda. How you doing?" Larry asked it.
"Garuda! How you doing?" The Garuda said mimicking Larry.
