The Arcade || Lee Felix (rewritten version)

"Welcome to adventure of the strays, or as I'd like to call it, welcome to try escaping hell" he said.

"So what's this place then? The lobby?" I asked him with sarcasm, still convinced this was all a joke.

"Correct"

I laughed but it had some irony in it, like a lot, it was only irony in it, completely pure irony and noting other than irony. "I almost believed you there for a second, now where are we really?" I asked him, dead serious for once.

He looked done with me for real now. Well sorry for interrupting your beauty sleep but I would like to know where I am so that I can get back home again.

"I'm serious, you need to play trough all the levels to get out" he said.
