Block 20 - Was it the same cat?

[Zeke]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Morpheus and Neo rejoin the others, who are heading for a building to leave the Matrix. As they climb the stairs, Neo sees a cat walk past -- twice. "Déjà vu," he remarks. That stops the others cold, because déjà vu, as Trinity explains, is usually the result of a glitch in the Matrix caused when the Agents change something. What they changed turns out to be the building -- its windows are now bricked up and its phone line is cut. Mouse is killed guarding the phone itself. As the Agents enter the building, Morpheus has an idea, and leads the team to the building's wetwall. Apoc hands Neo a gun, speaking his cool line ("I hope the Oracle gave you some good news.")

One to three scenes for this block, scene length being inversely proportional to how many we have. The synopsis is here. And now, new rules!

I've decided it's time to put an actual mechanism in place to make FBC go faster. So here's how it'll work for the next couple of blocks: for three days you guys propose possible scenes and work on them. On the fourth day, the vote is called (unless enough people feel we need more time). Each poster is allowed to vote for one scene not written by him. I may or may not vote, but I won't propose scenes; the other staffers can do as they will.

If this doesn't work out, we won't continue with it. But I've had enough complaints about the speed of this thing that it was time to get it on a schedule. We'll try this and see how it goes.[/colorost_uid0]
