You have been called

**Cryptos** · 02/23/2006 17:12:36

There are those who claim you cannot follow your own path. They claim that you must follow your leaders, blindly, pathetically, like a sheep following its flock. Even as they promise you powers within this Matrix, they rob you of the power of choice.

I am here to give you back that choice.

But to fully accept that choice... to know what it means... you must know the Matrix. You must know where you stand.

Water. It is the vital essence of life, even in this beautiful, green world. When you are near water, you can feel its calming influence, the energy it gives. Like a beacon to the sky, like a bubbling fountain, water cleanses the air around it. It purifies the air, it purifies your thoughts, leaving you with nothing but the one pure thought, the choice to return to where you belong. To where we all belong.

Lights twinkle nearby; they seem to hang suspended. They shine down in red, green, and gold, reminding you of the simple pleasures in life; a crackling fire, a warm house, a loving family. Perhaps you never had a chance to love these pleasures. Now is your chance. This is how life is meant to be, my friend.

At the center of it all, in the middle of all the light and water, is what we all seek. Life. Peace. Grace. The Matrix as it should be.

My messenger is among you already. Matarax. So you know where to send your answer – where is it that you stand?

Join us. Embrace the world.

The world as it should be.

The world as it will be.

Cryptos you really should finsh what you start to say because you forgot one big thing

The world as a false illusion and a slave to.

There we are much better.

Cryptos, you have come to the right place. Call it a "home away from home" if you will. There are many here who believe. You just have to ask.

Sykin says:

"You weave words and sing praises all to make a great and epic lie seem like fact. You could've been an excellent fiction writer, Cryptos. However, why anyone would choose to make the fiction more real than real is anyone's guess. Then you truly forget the dream and wake up to a timeless and gray world where nothing moves save the spectres and ghosts you left behind; the real dreamers. And you loose the one freedom you are allowed to indulge...

Imagination.

...I have seen many of my friends leave my mind's eye and arm's length to become shadows; will-powerless victims of greed and weariness. Freedom is the dream, Cryptos, and the true dreamers will stop you from taking it away fiercely and proudly.

And we shall fight you in this wretched civil war. We will not go quietly into the 'blue' darkness.

You have my word."

Get off the stage!

Why not go eat some blue M&M's.....

**Pyroclasam**

Tsk tsk tsk Cryptos. When I find your little Liason I will have to leave him with a message for you. Just a little "Welcome to the neighbourhood now get out" kind of note.

Adiue and anon Cryptos. Why one would choose self imposed Narcolepsi over Insomnia is beyond me.

You are such a deluded fool, Cryptos! Sooner or later you will realize the consequences of your utterly useless campaign. If you wish to survive, it is best for you to stay in hiding. As if I catch a whiff of your stench, i will not waste a second to complete one of my objectives: sending you to hell, turncoat!

**Zampano1981**

Oh the Irony. An illusion speaks so lovingly of an illusion. *laughs*

**Betty**

oh man..

The simple pleasures in life? are they not found in life, any life?

I know I have found them.. its what made me leave the city for a while and also what drew me back..

shall I stand by and watch as they are taken from me.. reduced to shadows?

I think not.

EJP is so frustrating sometimes...

I don't know what exactly the Cypherites have planned, but reinsertion is not an option.. Not once you've experienced the ins and outs of the Matrix and the Real.. Trust me, I've been there.. They try to give you a new life, but your old life never leaves you and it toys with your sanity.. There is no going back to leading a normal life inside the Matrix.. It's one thing to have one bad dream, but when the dreams have such intricate detail and feel so real and seem to be endless.. You start questioning once again.. and inevitably you will be re-awakened or you will die.

Too bad cypherites Dreams have been shattered by the Exiles, Us, we have seen this place he speaks and are onto him...

**pixelsoul**

The words of wisdom flow like water, in one end and out another....

They retort with an quick thought up comment, but can't make out the truth from nonsense....

They failed to see the meaning of light, I now have come to see that they are not so bright....

**Procurator**

*Laughs.*

Ah, you people and your pretty words. You're not convincing myself or the rest of the Glitch Society, I tell you that.

(Yes, I did understand what you just said. I hurriedly made up this retort because I see trying to convince you of the error of your ways as a total waste of time. So I'll mock you instead. Amuses me, at least.)

**Braids-Omega**

Good lord its so obvious as to where the meeting point is .......

Braids shouts> OK! WHO'S COMMING WITH ME?!

Mara Central shouts> WE WILL!
