THE MATRIX↴ "What IS the Matrix? The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it."  ► INSIDE: On the inside, it all seems so normal. Beyond what you know of the reality you've stepped in, every bit of this place feels just as real as it did back in the carnival. If you were to forget where you'd just come from, would you know any different? The simulation of Chicago is identical to how it would have been in the early days of the new millenia, to anyone who comes from a similar Earth. Humans bustle around you, oblivious to the world outside of the Matrix that they were born into. One bright side to it all is that this hyper realism means the coffee tastes just as good as it does in real life. Anything you could do in real Chicago you can do here - and perhaps even more. ► WHITE ROOM: But before that, you were here. The White Room is a loading program, intended to port objects and people into the Matrix. You arrive as a reconstruction of your true physical form, but common sense suggests that for some of you, entering the mundane world looking like yourself isn't the best idea. It's in this empty world that you will be able to load in whatever physical objects you are, and change the way you present your own body to the system. Changes can be little, or big, but whatever you do, the body has to be able to function according to Earth's physical laws. Don't forget, if you die here, you die in the carnival too. ► DEJA VU: It doesn't matter what you're doing, but at some point you'll notice it - something around you has repeated itself, like a line on a skipping record. Maybe it's the same person bumping into you twice in a row, or the same cab driver yelling at you to get out of the way. It's like reality has rewound and repeated itself, and after the fact you have no proof of it happening beyond the memory of what you saw. You don't know what it means, but something about it is chilling. It may be a good time to find a buddy. ► THE ONE: It won't necessarily come naturally, but in a moment of need you may find yourself bending the world of the Matrix through sheer belief and force of need. How you bend it will always stay without the rules of the universe, at least for now, but when it comes to enhancing your own physical characteristics, just about anything is possible. It will not be easily reproducible, not now, but it could be your first view into the window of what's possible. |

What are you!? Who are you!?
[The theif was all but forgotten at his point. Transforming hummingbirds had taken priority.]
no subject
[PLEASE PUT THOSE AWAY SIR] I know I look different without feathers and everything but I'm seriously not someone to shoot at!!
[She also never met you ANYWAY but shhhhh that's clearly irrelevant right now.]
no subject
[He frowns and puts his guns down--fortunately cause he's really not got a handle on proper gun safety considering his idea of quelling boredom is to shoot at the wall randomly--and scratches his head with the barrel of one. WHO KNOWS IF THE SAFETY IS ON THIS IS NOT SAFE HANDLING SHERLOCK]
You're one of us...how'd you manage to get the Matrix to turn you into a hummingbird?
[Cutting to the chase there. Also please stop using the gun to scratch your head.]
no subject
I'm still surprised I was able to turn back while in here, getting any magic to work at all has been really hard you know... [AND ON THE NOTE OF REALLY ANYTHING-] A-And you probably shouldn't do that if you were about to shoot me, that thing is loaded isn't it?!?
no subject
[You can be fascinated later Sherlock stop scratching your head with the gun.]
Oh this? Of course it is.
[He fires off a random shot suddenly with the other one into the air. THAT COULD HIT SOMEONE IF IT COMES DOWN]
no subject
llllllaaaaaAAAAAnnndDD that just means you shouldn't scratch your head with it!!!
no subject
I wasn't scratching my head.
[He totally was, he's just an eccentric--okay mad--genius.]

[He peers down the barrel. SHERLOCK STOP.]
no subject
Why would anyone do that on purpose it's ridiculous!!] And you're really going to get hurt if you don't watch it, I think..!!
no subject
[He drops the gun when he puts it down and he hisses in alarm, expecting to fire.
Fortunately, it didn't. He breathed a sigh of relief and pocketed the gun. Probably not even putting the safety on.]
Right. I'll be more careful.
