red_pill (+lack have) blue_pill (+lack have) chickenshit (+no yes) === intro === Morpheus's face is impassive behind his mirror-like sunglasses. He nods at his hands, each of which has a shining oblong object: a pill. One is red, one is blue. Do you take the blue pill? Or do you take the red pill? + Take the red pill. -> [red_pill: have] + Take the blue pill. -> [blue_pill: have] === [red_pill: have, blue_pill: lack] === You have the red pill in hand. Morpheus has not yet pulled his hands away, and you eye the other pill in his palm. + Take the blue pill, too. -> [blue_pill: have] + See how deep the rabbit-hole goes. -> [chickenshit: yes] === [red_pill: lack, blue_pill: have] === Your fingers tremble as you grab the blue pill. Morpheus's hand lingers for a moment. + Snatch the red pill. -> [red_pill: have] + Wuss out and take the pill. -> [chickenshit: yes] === [blue_pill: have, red_pill: lack, chickenshit: yes] === You pop it into your mouth and the flavor hits you immediately. "This is just a blue Mike-and-Ike," you tell Morpheus. He nods impassively. "The blue ones are, like, the worst ones," you say. "No, Neo," he says, turning as he speaks. "The worst ones... are the yellow ones." + END === [red_pill: have, blue_pill: lack, chickenshit: yes] === You put the pill into your mouth and you begin to feel the world around you reform itself into pure information before dissolving violently into digital nothingness. After what could be seconds or what could be an eternity, you find yourself emerged in a pool of orange goo, covered in digital connectors. The pod is vacated, and the goo carries your body through pipes and futuristic tubing until you are found by a junky, floating vehicle. When the hatch opens, you are rescued by none other than Morpheus. It takes you a long time to stop shivering, but you finally are able to summon the ability to speak. "That technology... that goo..." you ask Morpheus. "Was that... is it a sex thing?" His piercing eyes turn to meet your gaze. "Yes," he says. + END === [red_pill: have, blue_pill: have] === You have both pills. In the moment before you down them, you see for the first time a hint of human emotion in Morpheus, a facial expression which even behind those impassive sunglasses conveys the universally appreciable emotion: "What the fuck, man?" You open palm slam both pills directly into your fuckin' gob. Let's go, man. + END
