Awakenings: For The Love Of RP

I've delved back in to the Matrix Comics, and found something interesting.  It's the story of an aborted Awakening. The Potential pulls the phone cord from the wall - twice - and that is that.  No Red pill nor Blue pill.  Check out the author of the comic.

and another by the same author, a tale of two who become aware of the different worlds, and the ruthless way the System and Agents manipulate and destroy them....

3. Bluepills are not remedial.


If a bald black man named Morpheus in a purple suit and an alligator-skin coat that wears sunglasses indoors, at night approaches me, knowing my name, and other thinks he shouldn't while saying I'm in danger and that he can help, I'm a little more inclined to believe him than if his name is Sup3rKillahXxX.  Sorry, but if you chose a stupid name when you made your character, you probably should leave awakenings to those of us that didn't.

Bluepills can't see the identification tags encoded on a Redpill's RSI.  They would have no way of knowing any stranger's Handle  until/unless introduced.  Redpills have their old bluepill name(s) to use in these situations.  I wouldn't introduce myself to a pod-person as PS10N, though I might talk to them about the "Priory of Sion" or "Psionic Abilities" or "The Divine Scion" if I was impersonating a religious/spiritual type during the "getting to know you" process.  Usually I fall back on my "I'm a contributing reporter for the Sentinel" or "I'm a private investigator."  Sometimes this can lead to, "I'm investigating this Redpill subculture that started in the city a couple years ago" which explains why I would be dressed like a Redpill, tho in need I have civilian clothing handy.  There are other angles of course, none of which involve severed heads, schizophrenia or poison.
