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. |

To gather herbs to give my brews strength.
Humans legs are not so weak
That they'll keep me from what we seek.
no subject
I really wish I could say I was so sturdy
But I’m gettin’ too used ta bein’ a birdy
While my wings are strong as anythin’
I think my legs are a little too thin!
no subject
With flying as her goal!
You flit all around
And forget the ground!
no subject
At least I still know how ta run
That much I can promise, I’m not only a flier
Just need ta stretch my legs more so I don't tire
no subject
A checkup when we return.
[Zecora waggles a finger at him, demonstrating that she has picked up a few things about being human-shaped in her time around the carnival.]
no subject
I swear I’m a smarter fellow!
[Minimal crashing-into-things damage. Minimal.]
no subject
And what it takes to make a zebra flip.
no subject
What would it take ta get some clemency?
[He’ll resort to bribery, no shame, if it will help her forget his many flying incidents.]
no subject
Treat yourself well! And listen to your doc!
no subject
I’m walkin’ with ya and well~
So there’s no need ta worry or raise up a fuss
When it comes ta gettin’ hurt, I ain’t in a rush
no subject
Getting weak or slow is no gain.
And if your new wings
Distract from other things
Then I must correct
That thinking defect.
[Zecora reaches out to poke his head. It's easier for her to be more physical as a human, because the body doesn't quite feel like hers.]
no subject
Yes mum, yes mum, I promise I won’t be lazy
I’ll be good and exercise, so don’t berate me~
[And he keeps up the playful banter with her, all the way to the museum. An impressed whistle leaves him as they make their way to the entrance, and he makes sure to pay for her with a full wallet he made sure to get while in the white room. As they step inside, he twists his head around to take in everything.]
They have huge places like this where yer from, Zecora?
no subject
Manehatten might compare
But I haven't been there.
This incredible scene
Is the largest I've seen.
Call this thread done?
Whenever yer done and decide ta move on~.
[Either way, he’s content to escort her and tour the place a little bit, a chatterbox throughout the whole place as they make a day of it.]
