  4. === intro ===
  5. Morpheus's face is impassive behind his mirror-like sunglasses. He
  6. nods at his hands, each of which holds a tiny oblong object: a
  7. pill. One is red, one is blue. Do you take the blue pill? Or do you
  8. take the red pill?
  9. + Take the red pill. -> [red_pill: have]
  10. + Take the blue pill. -> [blue_pill: have]
  11. === [red_pill: have, blue_pill: lack] ===
  12. You have the red pill in hand. Morpheus has not yet pulled his hands
  13. away, and you eye the other pill in his palm.
  14. + Take the blue pill, too. -> [blue_pill: have]
  15. + See how deep the rabbit-hole goes. -> [chickenshit: yes]
  16. === [red_pill: lack, blue_pill: have] ===
  17. Your fingers tremble as you grab the blue pill. Morpheus's hand
  18. lingers for a moment.
  19. + Snatch the red pill too. -> [red_pill: have]
  20. + Wuss out and take the pill. -> [chickenshit: yes]
  21. === [blue_pill: have, red_pill: lack, chickenshit: yes] ===
  22. You pop it into your mouth and the flavor hits you immediately.
  23. "This is just a blue Mike-and-Ike," you tell Morpheus.
  24. He nods impassively.
  25. "The blue ones are, like, the worst ones," you say.
  26. "No, Neo," he says, turning as he speaks. "The worst ones... are the
  27. yellow ones."
  28. + END
  29. === [red_pill: have, blue_pill: lack, chickenshit: yes] ===
  30. You put the pill into your mouth and you begin to feel the world
  31. around you reform itself into pure information before dissolving
  32. violently into digital nothingness. After what could be seconds or
  33. what could be an eternity, you find yourself emerging from a pool of
  34. orange goo, covered in digital connectors. The pod is vacated, and the
  35. goo carries your body through pipes and futuristic tubing until you
  36. are found by a junky, floating vehicle. When the hatch opens, you are
  37. rescued by none other than Morpheus.
  38. It takes you a long time to stop shivering, but you finally are able
  39. to summon the ability to speak.
  40. "That technology... that goo..." you ask Morpheus. "Was that... is it
  41. a sex thing?"
  42. His piercing eyes turn to meet your gaze. "Yes," he says.
  43. + END
  44. === [red_pill: have, blue_pill: have] ===
  45. You have both pills. In the moment before you down them, you see for
  46. the first time a hint of human emotion in Morpheus, a facial
  47. expression which even behind those impassive sunglasses conveys the
  48. universally appreciable sentiment: "What the fuck, man?"
  49. You open palm slam both pills directly into your fuckin' gob. Let's
  50. go, man.
  51. + END
