House of Vertigo

We're going to be trapped! Go! Go! Go! Go! Help! I need help! - My shoe! - Amber! Amber! Get back.
Sorry.
Sorry.
No shoe gets left behind.
Look.
There's some sort of pattern.
Traverse the grid with step or hop.
Follow the sequence; Do not stop.
All must complete the hopscotch test.
Before the ceiling stays at rest.
I can't hopscotch to save my life.
Well, Fabian, you might have to.
I was school hopscotch champion two years running.
I wonder if I still got it.
Boom! Back! Back! Stop! But I did it right.
You saw me.
It was pretty much textbook.
It's obvious that ancient egyptians.
Did not know a thing about hopscotch.
These aren't numbers anyway.
Look, they're, like, animal symbols.
Is that a duck? Take a picture.
Okay.
Let's just call it a day.
We need to clear our heads.
Yeah, but even if we do learn the sequence to this, What about that chasm? How do we get over that? You know what pink power ranger would do.
She'd long jump it.
Or pole-vault it.
Which javelin Between us and the mask? Ten? A hundred? A thousand? A hundred thousand? A million? Amber now you're just listing big numbers.
Yeah.
Sorry.
I list things when I get anxious.
Oh.
Have you seen Jerome Clark? I'm looking for him.
No? Jerome Clark? He owes me money.
He's a tall kid with mad hair.
Has anybody seen Jerome Clark? You talked to Fabian about the poem? Why? When? Why? Do you ever remember doing haikus with Mrs.
Andrews? See, I knew he was lying.
He was just embarrassed to adm it 'cause we were in public.
When I talk, all you hear is, "blah, blah, blah, blah, blah," isn't it? Try to listen this time.
He didn't.
Write it.
For you.
Anyway, the point is, Although it's great sweetie asked you and Eddie.
To help us out with the gala, I need you to chaperone him.
Yeah, because I just love spending time with him.
Oh, good.
Glad to see you admit it for once.
Okay, so I was thinking you and Eddie help organize the band.
Yeah, sure.
I actually have some really great Okay.
Ideas.
Just the list I downloaded.
Sweetie wants a classical quintet.
You know, violins and all that.
But I was actually thinking.
We could go with something, you know, edgier.
Maybe something punk.
Here's a list approved by sweetie.
It's in order of preference.
So if you just work your way through the numbers.
Until someone says, "yes," that will be amazing.
Thank you.
I agree with you.
You know, for what it's worth.
How long have you been there? Well, long enough.
And I'm hurt you don't like spending time with me.
What do you mean you agree with me? Well, I like good music just like you do.
And I hate events like this.
Filled with old people, Yakking on about antiques and history.
Yeah, well, no one actually even asked your opinion anyway, So Bye.
Sweetie did order me to help.
Oh Oh, very good.
Good.
And loud.
You know, as much as I relish helping poor little donkeys, I still have my debt to pay.
Roper's after me big time, and it's all your fault.
Why is it my fault? I didn't tell you to hire a p.
I.
No, but you were the one who made me feel guilty.
About poppy and d in the first place.
What good did it do? You found out where your dad was.
Yeah.
In prison.
Perfect.
He can rot, for all I care.
Hey, Jerome, there's a man looking for you.
Name is soper.
No, roper.
I need to hide.
Oh.
Morning, Jerome.
Expecting someone else? Yes.
An actor.
But it seems he's rather late.
Cutting class, are you? I can let it slide since it's for a cultural cause.
Oh, well, what can I say? I'm a knowledge soaker.
Hmm.
Well, if you have the time.
And you'd like to make yourself useful, I have a job going.
Useful isn't really a forte of mine.
There'd be payment, And I could possibly wrangle you some extra credits.
Wait, wait, wait.
Stop.
You had me at "payment.
" What is it? Running novelty tours for children.
I like both those things.
I'd almost feel bad taking your money, But, you know, I will.
There is also, uh, Also a costume involved.
Let me guess: A whip and a fedora like Indiana Jones.
I can totally work that.
Don't you worry.
Lucky for you, I'm so desperate.
But I really don't understand.
Why Frobisher-Smythe would have to make Amber, shh.
No names.
It's okay.
We're good.
I'm just saying, does an impossible quest.
Actually have to be impossible? Um, yeah, I'd say that's a basic requirement.
Sure, but wouldn't it be fun for once to have an easy quest? One that doesn't involve death and large amounts of doom? Knock, knock, Mara.
Poppy.
What are you Okay.
So what prison is he in? What? I heard you talking to Jerome.
I know my dad's in prison, Mara.
Why didn't you tell me? I wanted to, but Jerome thought he was Protecting me? Yeah.
Well, he might be happy to leave dad there to rot, But I'm not.
What's your dad like, Mara? My dad? He wears slippers, Likes diy, Dances like spongebob.
Normal stuff.
Normal sounds nice.
Poppy Help me, Mara.
I want to know what my dad's like.
Please.
You want to write to him? You were right, vera.
- Was I? - Yes.

Right about what, exactly? About the children.
They are searching for something.

And about some quest they're on.
What do you think ey're looking for? Well, the book of isis, of course.
What else could it possibly be? Yes, yes.
The book of isis.

" Thank you for agreeing to see me.
I, uh, I understand from vera.

I've been looking up hopscotch online.
It goes way back.

Little girls love hopscotch.
Of course, the Dollhouse.
We'll stake it out after dinner.
You're the chosen one, Yet you can't figure out a foldout table.

There's not a single mask here that wouldn't make your face.
Look more intriguing, mysterious, and charming.

Except that one.
Alfie, you can't wear that mask.
My dress isn't green, and you're not 8.
Amber? Whipped.

Tomorrow is the day of the grand opening.
I shall not allow you to jeopardize.
Such an important event.
Through lack of sleep or preparation.
Go to bed now.
If we ever needed convincing of our connections to the past, It's always important that we remember: Even though each civilization comes and goes, They always leave behind a footprint for the next one.
And that couldn't be more important for all of us today.
Would you like to dance? You were right.
Everything turned out perfectly.
But, Nina, I know I've been spending a lot of time with Joy recently, But I just want you to know, she's not She's only my study buddy.
