[he nearly responds before, yeah. puppets! he pauses for a long moment as he looks around, long enough to realize exactly who these are modeled after.]
Yeeeah, this is automatically the worst. Maybe we should just...
[turn back and leave. but he cuts himself off, because when he tries to do just that, it looks like the door is conveniently locked. unfortunate.]
[ well, at the very least, no one is dead yet, so none of the puppets are cut down or bloody! they are definitely still staring at the two of them with their big, creepy eyes, though. despite this, hope stands his ground, stepping in front of rupert in a protective manner. ]
Do you have anything on you that you could use as a weapon?
[ fortunately, hope does not show the same hesitation that rupert does when voicing what he feels like is an inevitability. he does stand down a bit when rupert reassures him, though he still presents himself as the primary target should the marionettes attack them after all. ]
I doubt that they're here just to freak us out. Though... I have a strong suspicion they hold the key to getting out of here.
[ with that, he cautiously approaches the one that looks like him; he doesn't touch it, but he does stare back into its empty, glassy eyes. ]
[he's tempted to stop him before he approaches, but he doesn't exactly have a better idea for how to get out of here. he's watching closely, though, just in case one of these terrifying puppets makes a sudden motion.]

[in response to the protective stance hope is already taking. to the question, though, he shakes his head.]
Yeah, fresh out... What do you think they want? They aren't moving or anything.
[yet, he thinks but doesn't say.]

I'm sure you already know, but - be careful.
