Okay, serious question: what would YOU choose? I mean, say you were just stuck inside a loop of your favorite memories and this strange woman comes and pulls you back into reality, then drops a cryptic "make a choice" on you. Do you go ahead an find out what's going on, or do you want it to stop and go back to your life?

I've also decided to start actually using my blog. Specifically, I plan on sharing stuff I like with mini-reviews. The link is at the top of the page. Check it out!

They ARE a deep, deep blue, aren't they? (And THANK!)

Do you even know what that choice means for him?

I am a xenophilliac - I would jump at that offer in no time at all.

Jumping at it just because it's different? Hmm...

I would go for it because I want the truth. I'm also very likely to be the one to go mad from the revelation... :)

Well, Ghoul had his chance to leave...

That he did.

He knows, however, that if he HAD, he would forever kick himself as he wondered what that crazy Mercy was talking about.

Yessss - red pill! :D

I'd done the same myself. ...provided that I trust the person who offers the pills of course ;) I'm the curious type, who prefers to know the truth, even when it's not pretty.

Definitely red pill!

Mercy gained a lot of trust from Ghoul when she mentioned the Unwanted. It wasn't SOLID trust, per se, but it was enough to get him back. This is pretty much a continuation of that. :)

Yes! Enlightenment is the answer, ignorance is horrific. :)

Yes! So would I!

Though, I DO feel sorry for the blue pill. No one wants it. :P

Prof, you made us all take the blue pill with this reboot-

The pre-reboot version was an illusion. In taking the RED pill, you have arrived in the real version. :P

I'd go for the enlightenment, if only because I know the curiosity is bound to drive me crazy if I never asked. I'd never be able to just drop it and forget the whole thing.

That was pretty much Ghoul's exact thought. He knew it would drive him absolutely freakin' crazy if he told Mercy to go away.

That does seem like a plan, doesn't it? ;)

Well, that's kinda what he did in his earlier incarnation. It's one of the reasons I've been wondering how much of the old Ghoul transferred to the new. :)

The precise events are not exact, but he is still pretty much the exact same character...

Ghoul has a way with words. Typically ones with four letters.

Thanks!

Am I the only jerk thinking, "Lady, unless you have strong-ass coffee, leave me alone, so I can get back to sleep"? XD

Eh, he's slept enough. There's work to do. :)

But no, I'm pretty sure you're not the only one...
