Joseph and Mosh approached the end of the Great City. They had travelled all the way across it, and were now at the northwest corner.
"Do we need to go to the top of the falls, or the bottom?" Asked Joseph. "Top," said Mosh. "I don't understand why we couldn't have just taken the train then." Said Joseph. "I also needed stuff from the Great City, as well as the Grand Mansion." Said Mosh. "So we're going into the Grand Mansion?" Asked Joseph. "What do you even need the stuff for?"
"I'm trying to find a way out of this place."
"Again, Mosh, this place is separated from the living world. You can't get back there." Said Joseph. "You have your phone, don't you?" Said Mosh. "That's proof that there is a connection."
"It's not a connection, it's one-way. Besides, it might not even be connected the living world, if might be connected to somewhere else. What do you need from all of these places anyway?"
"I'm getting rare stuff." Said Mosh. "Stuff that can only be gotten in certain places."

The two of them went inside and began to make their way through this maze of a mansion. As they went through, Mosh grabbed multiple things, including an entire vase of violets.
After a while of wandering, the ended up at their sixth dead-end. But as they were going back, they noticed something was there. They approached slowly, to the room at the end of the hall. They opened up the door quickly, and Mosh stuck up his spear at whatever was there.
"Calm down!" They said, not wanting to be speared in the face. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Asked Mosh. "My name's Chill, and I was just trying to get some food. I got lost and couldn't find my way out. I didn't realize that you owned this place, I'll leave if you show me the exit."

Mosh put down his spear, and Chill let out a relieved sigh. "We don't own this place." Said Mosh. "No one does. I needed to know if you were a monster or not."
"Ok, do you know the way out?" Asked Chill. "Not exactly, but you can stay with us for now, we can help you get out." The three of them continued to wander, and Mosh continued to grab things and put them into his bag.

After a couple of hours, they found the exit. As they left, Chill practically ran outside, happy to be out of the mansion. "How much further are the falls?" Asked Joseph. "It's to the left, but it's better to go straight." Said Mosh. Joseph was confused, so Mosh said, "it's a quicker path, just trust me." They began to walk across the fields, but then Chill asked, "can I go with you guys? I don't really know where I am."
"Do you know ho you get here?" Asked Mosh. "No."
"Well, you can come with us. We can take you to Bricker City, where you can figure out those things." They walked across the fields, until they reached a river. Mosh said that they need to go upstream, and Joseph seemed annoyed. "Why are we going the long way?" He asked. "The falls are just downstream, we're going the wrong way."
"If we go to the lake, then we can get a boat." Said Mosh. "That way, we can just float down the river until we get back to the Great City." Joseph sighed, and they continued to walk. Finally, they got to the lake. Like Mosh said, there were tons of boats, some being brought back up by swarms of flies.

They all hopped in a boat, Joseph and Mosh in the first one, Chill in the second one, and headed downstream. "Just remember, when we get to a split in the river, we need to take a left." Said Mosh. "I checked a map, if we right, we'll end up in the Grand Ocean. Going left is the quickest way home."
As they floated down the river, Joseph began thinking. He started talking to Chill. "So, do you know how you got here?" He asked. "No." Responded Chill. Joseph noticed something. "You look familiar." He said. Chill didn't really care. Joseph began looking at him to try to find out. After a while he gave up and began looking at his phone.
Then he saw it.

He looked into it more, he needed to make sure it was right, and when he did, he was filled with shock and excitement. "Mosh, I know why he seems familiar!" He exclaimed. Mosh had no idea what he was talking about. "I think you were right! I think that Chill-"
