(Jay, Crystal, and Nya stand in front of a conveyor belt leading to the Temple of Madness)
Crystal: Every single path leads straight into a spinning blade.
Jay: (One of the blades glitch) Look at there! See it? There was a thing, for a second. (Another blade glitches again) There's another! It's like the game has a glitch!
Nya: Back on Dyer Island, we learned this was Dyer's very first adventure game, but it was never released because of problems.
Crystal: Looks like we found them.
Jay: Video game obstacles are usually on a time loop.
Nya: So if we get the timing down, we can make it to the other side.
Jay: But the glitches are unpredictable, and we can't get past them safely.
Nya: Then I guess we'll have to improvise.
Jay: Just like dancing.
(The two hold hands and start to go through the conveyor belt. Crystal stands back before following behind them.)
Jay: One, two, three, step! (They step through a spinning blade.) One, two, three, jump! (They leap over another blade.)
Nya: One, two, three, roll! (They roll through a third blade and encounter a glitch.)
Crystal: Other track, now!
(They leap to the other conveyor belt, but Jay loses balance and falls. Nya grabs his hand in time.)
Nya: (They encounter another glitch.) It's the other glitch!
Crystal: Pick up the pace! Come on!
(They successfully pass through the rest of the blades and reach the other side.)
Jay: Piece of cake. Okay, get ready. Video games usually increase in difficulty as you progress.
Nya: So whatever is on the other side of this door is gonna be even worse.
Crystal: We go on the count of three. (Jay and Nya nod) One....two....thre-
(The door to the Temple opens. The three enter only to find an empty Sushi Restaurant.)
Hostess: (Bowing) Welcome.
Jay: The Temple of Madness has a sushi restaurant?
Nya: Where are all the guests?
Hostess: We've been expecting you.
Crystal: You have?
Hostess: Of course. Jay Walker, party of three. Right this way.
Jay: Oh, perfect, 'cause I'm starving!
Nya: (Stops him) Jay, it's a trap!
Jay: No it isn't. Lots of games have areas like this, where you can recharge or power up, before you have to take on the boss.
Crystal: Are you sure? (Looks around the restaurant) Because I'm not really feeling that this is an "area to power up."
Jay: Look, if this was a trap, they'd have come up with something a little more dangerous than a sushi restaurant. Trust me. (The three sit down at the table)
Hostess: May I tell you today's specials?
Jay: Yes, you may. Boy, am I hungry!
Hostess: To start, we have some albacore tuna with garlic, crispy onions, and marinated destruction! (Her eyes glow red and she pulls out a kitchen knife, chopping the table in half.) Hiya!
