"This building here is the Theater Arts and Choir building from my high school. Even after quitting choir, a lot of my life was spent within these walls. It used to be my old house from when I was 7, but I decided to move it as the house had become too small to contain everything."

The outside is made of brown brick, with darkly painted, aluminium water drains. There is an aluminium awning that is painted the same as the water drains. The lobby is walled by glass, so the inside is visible. There are shelves to the right-hand side with 3 large trophies (about 2 feet tall), 3 medium trophies (about 1.5 feet tall), 7 small trophies (about .5 foot tall), and 11 plaques on the wall. There are clearly two sets of stairs that lead to a second floor. There are two wooden tables in the middle, two bathrooms to the sides, another two sets of double doors, and a water fountain to the right.

"The real lobby of this building does actually have these shelves, but my mind has replaced them with my own trophies. Most of them are for spelling bees, but there are a few for short story competitions and one for show choir."

There are two set of double doors. I pull the door furthest to the right open and allow you inside first.

"Come on. I'll show you the best seats in the house."
