[color=#000000:post_uid0]Neo is back in his bunk, recovering from what he's learned. Morpheus comes in to apologize: he knew this would be particularly difficult for Neo, as he's older than the maximum "safe" age for liberating prisoners of the Matrix. (People older than this have been destroyed by the sheer shock.) Morpheus then explains about a man in the first days of the Matrix who was able to manipulate it to his will. When he died, the Oracle had predicted that he would someday return and that his second coming, now referred to as "The One", would bring about the salvation of mankind. Morpheus and those like him have searched for the One ever since; he did what he did (freeing Neo) because he believes the search is over. On that note, Morpheus leaves Neo, telling him to get some rest for his training.
Again, just one scene. Synopsis here.[/color:post_uid0] |

![]() ![]() ![]() I like Trip's and Sa'ar's scenes (especially the last line in Trip's). Also these of Standback's: Morpheus: Neo, I think you are the One. Neo: The One what? Morpheus: Ummm... you know. The One. Just general One-ness. Neo: Why are you so sure I'm The One? Morpheus: Because "Neo" is "One" with the O at the end. Neo: Oh, yeah? Well, I'm switching my screen name to CaptPicard79. This last suggestion is, well, just knee-jerk funny. You can't help but chuckle. ![]() ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Whether or not this scene was necessary before, we've gotten enough funny suggestions that I think it'd be a shame to leave all of them out. We should be able to keep it short, though. I like Kira's alteration, but Morpheus's first sentence in his second line could use a bit of work, I think. A little [i ![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe something like [quote ![]() Neo: Why are you so sure I'm the One? Morpheus: No significant reason, I just happen to like anagrams.

![]() ![]() ![]() Although I'm rather pleased with myself for managing to come up with such a succinct phrase, I do think Kira's alteration was closer to being on the right track. But I still don't like "I like anagrams". It's too...unremarkable, too dry. I think something more elaborate is needed, even if it's just the addition of one word. Like [quote ![]() ![]() or [quote ![]() ![]() or [quote ![]() ![]() Oooh, that last one in particular might have some potential...[/color ![]()
