Looking at the kissy-kissy face that Cletus is making, you realize that yes, you are a bit sensitive about your lips. And Cletus... well, you decide that Cletus should be sensitive about your lips too. You pounce on Cletus. He flails wildly about as you punch him in the hump. He struggles to try and grab you, but in doing so, he puts his hump off balance. The two of you go tumbling down the rest of the stairs.
On the way down, Cletus tries to bite you. He clamps down on your forearm, but you wind up yanking the false teeth right out of his head when you yank your arm away. He starts screaming about his missing "teef" as you continue your roll down the stairs.
You finally come to the bottom of the stairwell, with a long, bare hallway in front of you. You push Cletus off and stand up, grousing about your aching arm. Looking down, you see that Cletus' teeth are still firmly attached. You yank the teeth off and turn to Cletus. He's on his feet and hopping mad about you taking his dentures. You tell him that if he wants his teeth back, he'll have to show you around this secret basement. If you're going to inherit this house, you might as well learn all you can about it.
Cletus shows you down the hallway, all the while mumbling some sort of oddly-rehearsed tour guide speech. The hallway leads on for a considerable distance, but Cletus points to a door on your left and says that you'll need to go through it, as the straight ahead merely leads to the janitor's office. You can only assume the janitor is slowly working his way down the hall, because the walls around you are filthy.
Through the door is a large room with cages lining the walls. It's too dark for you to see the contents of the cages, but you do here a lot of strange growls and wails. And one hiccup. As you look to the cages, Cletus starts to walk a little faster. He's put some distance between the two of you, and now, he's standing next to a medicine cabinet. From the cabinet, he grabs a pair of emergency dentures and crams them in his mouth. Clacking his teeth a couple times, he turns to you:
"Alright, Pontoon Lips, you think it's funny to steal a guy's teeth? Well who's laughing now?"
Cletus runs over to a large, upright, metallic tube sitting in the corner. He gives the tube two firm knocks, and the tube splits open. Cletus begins to laugh maniacally as out from the tube walks a horrific sight:
The bizarre-looking man is giving you quite a look. And now he's advancing on you! You'd better think fast!

One of the best Destiny Books so far.
I'm still loving this. It doesn't need to make sense.
Now I feel bad about my meat lips.
I think it was a musical. My family watches it every year.
"GET OVER HERE, YOU WEIRD LITTLE MAN!"
