The doors open, and what do I find?

A poor joke; if it can even be called that.

Barriers. Modification. Momentary lapse in memory, judgment, time.

... Such a sound, that infernal ticking, like a bug buzzing in my ears. Only to be swatted.

...Sir?

[amoebicide]

... A child, of no use.

[gracedfall]

[...Hey now.] This isn't a joke...You're the City now.

[amoebicide]

A city, yes, as is obvious. But rather location and state is a different matter. I understand this is not the same existence as mine before.

As I doubt you do.

[harrysbackup]

It's not a joke.

[amoebicide]

Isn't it, though?

[harrysbackup]

Yeah, if the joker is the Devil, I guess. This place, quite frankly, sucks balls.

[amoebicide]

There is no such thing as the Devil.

How very quaint.

It's not a curse-

Like being stuck here is a joke.

[amoebicide]

A very bad one, but a joke all the same. Why, I may even laugh.

[oopsitslipped]

Are you stupid? It's not a joke when you can't leave.

[amoebicide]

The exit may remain invisible to your lacking eyes, but it is wrong to assume there is not one. Foolish.

[child_radical]

This is no joke. You're stuck here.

[amoebicide]

And yet I remain amused.

To be 'stuck', however, remains an impossibility. If you are able to enter, certainly you may leave.

[child_radical]

Leaving is possible but it remains near impossible to find an exit. They tend to shift their location constantly.

[amoebicide]

Unsurprising.
