After Brenda and Panda explain the situation, the Shopkeeper finds another, larger mirror and maneuvers it into the changing room, placing it opposite the mirror through which Brenda and Panda arrived. As a result, when the android tries to follow them, it only briefly phases through the Shopkeeper's shop before being transported through the second mirror to yet another time and place — the middle of a [[desert]]. Crossing back, it ends up in yet another place, and on and on for twenty-eight consecutive attempts until it gives up and decides to go into hibernation mode until it can think of something to do. | After Brenda and Panda explain the situation, the Shopkeeper finds another, larger mirror and maneuvers it into the changing room, placing it opposite the mirror through which Brenda and Panda arrived.

Walking down [[Festive Road]], they soon find that it is no ordinary place, with the passersby they cross paths with including a man in a bowler hat walking a carnivorous plant, as well as [[Guy (Death of the Author)|an old man]] in [[Eastern Roman Empire|Byzantine]] robes wearing a single scandal, currently locked in an argument with a [[Sky (Death of the Author)|lisping arachnoid creature]] about [[Jimi Hendrix]] lyrics, a [[Nun (Death of the Author)|nun]] riding a penny-farthing, and many other conspicuously eccentric sights. As Panda tries to the road, he is abruptly run over by a van being driven (or, rather, ''not'' driven) by a gaggle of [[clockwork monkey]]s fighting over the steering wheel. | ||
Panda wakes up at [[Rifkind's]] with one arm missing and loose stuffing spilling from his shoulder. After he is given a glass of [[lemonade]] to get him back on his feet, he is introduced to the group of living stuffed animals who inhabit this shop: the [[RifKind]], led by the wise old cat [[Wise Old Mog]]. They explain that they have been trying to continue the legacy of their creator, Mister Rifkind, who used to gather broken objects and toys and literally give them new life, and who went "over the bridge" many years ago. The RifKind have a rivalry with the clockwork monkeys, who are the assistants of [[Master Maker]], the antithesis of Rifkind, who messes around with intact objects to create unlikely contraptions from them. | Panda wakes up at [[Rifkind's]] with one arm missing and loose stuffing spilling from his shoulder.
