Perhaps, I, can be of assistance?
*A large shop appears out of nowhere.*
The name's "professor" J. Hyronimus Slick, procurer of oddities, antiquities and rarities, at your service.
*Shows everyone my wares.*
I've got geegors, whirly gigs, thing am a bobs, doohikies, nik-naks, paddy whacks, and if you bring your dog around, I'll give em a bone!
Nothing for cats? I see how it is.
Brings sign out of nowhere (ala Looney Tunes)
Trader Slick hates cats.
I am starting a protest and asking everyone to boycott this establishment.
Depends. If he has the latest issue of 'Rampant Housemaids' magazine, I'm afraid he's just blown a gaping great hole in your boycott.
However, if you can remove this tusk from me with the minimum of discomfort, I'm on your side.

Now, now, I was just quoting ye age old rhyme:
"Nik-nak, paddy whack, give the dog a bone!"
What's that? You haven't got a dog?
*Presents a cute puppy to everyone.*
Then perhaps, I can interest you in an Australian Shepherd?
*As the puppy sees Kat's Eye, the little darling chases the cat, into a giant ant's nest (where they both get eaten).*
Um, OK then. Tell you what, as a good will gesture, I'll let you have the latest issue of 'Rampant Housemaids' free of charge!
*Gives Comte de Malodor the magazine, as he successfully frees himself from the tusk (only to get caught in another bear trap).*
Yes. A club, that should do it. And a spade for later. Not much later.
Wouldn't a spade do for both?
*Comes out of the giant ant nest.
I think you misinterpreted what you saw. I lured your puppy into the the nest by pretending to be afraid of it.
Although if I must be honest, the ants in there were a little bigger than I thought they would be.
A great big playground?
I still remember those terrible Ouija board movies.Yeah, not an optimal choice of viewing platform for motion pictures, sitting around waiting for a ghost to describe each scene letter by letter.
It is certainly an investment of time.
*hovers*
I actually do know what this place is. However, my duties here are strictly observational in nature. Though we have already acquired the rights to distribution of the resulting film.
Snakes, and chickens, and chiggers, oh, my.
And mares, and goats, and little lambs.
Crocodiles, and wombats, and panthers.
If you behold a panther crouch, prepare to say “ouch!”.
Welcome to the jungle... We've got fun and games.

*Hits Waterhammer across the back of his head.*
Jumanji is based on the jungles of AFRICA you dolt!
*Sees another one of the nameless adventurers get attacked (this time by a prowling leopard) and Comte de Malodor gets his face caught on one of Goattoucher's rat traps.*
So, Vidmaster7, would you be interested in joining us? We could use a man with first hand experience (such as yourself), besides, we'll be losing people as we continue.
You earlier said: “I don’t know where we are.”
I believe you.
Crikey mate I think I can help ya out. *puts on his tan shorts*

Hey now, don't you lot forget about me!
*Pulls out a small object from coat pocket.*
Can I interest you in a genuine, one of a kind, "Get Out of Danger Free" card?
*Sees everyone's excited faces.*
Yes sire bob, this card allows its holder to get out of danger free! There is just one catch...
*Everyone starts asking what is the catch.*
It's not free! So, how much are you willing to pay for this priceless little beauty?

You lot can buy the card if you want, as for me, I will have nothing to do with him!
*Scribbles some notes on a piece of paper.*

Obviously, the flora and fauna are hazardous too.
I’m not your Murphy, I’m no one’s Murphy.
Yes!
Ouch!
That's schmerz, not schmurph.
Kid’s morph, All about town .
The amazing power of the apostrophe.
Let’s talk about some urfs
Exactly what is an urf, anyway?
Smurf'n sway.
Hassenfeffer!
Hold on - none of me are a bear or a rabbit, so there's no good reason why I should keep getting caught in these traps.
That's very sweet of you, honeycakes, but a new tie would have done just as well...
There is a song there.
Shall I sing it?
Deal.
I will not sing that song.
*looks askance at the no-longer-corrupt but apparently unhinged Core*
This unit has achieved individual sapience. You know as well as any that Iron Federation laws prohibit any and all forms of enslavement of sapient beings. And I'm certainly not putting myself back in the command chain of any core unit that would think I would actually take my brain with me into a place like this. As usual, this physical body is an expendable shell.
*looks back at Reiner*
Jumangi is borderline intelligent and mildly malevolent. If its current threats do not faze you, it will inevitably produce one that can. Besides, it would ruin the suspense to list the dangers ahead of time, and this place is, in many ways, more concerned about telling a good story than anything else. Fortunately for you, that means that if you make your escape a good enough story, it will let you leave. Just don't try to shortcut things, or it may become irritated.
Oh Were doing Jumanji OK all this conversations about the jungle makes sense now. I guess I do look a little like Alan Parrish.
Who?
Same for I. Hadamicus Wunce!!!!
Yeehoohahohurhur!!!!!!!!
