Shane jogged over and got down on one knee to grab the thing. "You're not watching anyt-" He brokeoff, entranced by the shiny of the Ultimate Matrix Collection. "This does look cool," he admitted.Tommy grinned and continued in the task.Shane opened the box set, glanced through its contents, and a while later gave a furtive look around."Uh, anyone know where Neo is?""He's next door," Chris Townsend offered. "At that computer again. Why?""Do you think he'll stay there?"Chris shrugged. "He was in there the whole of yesterday.""I Killed My Lesbian Wife, Hung Her on a Meat Hook, and Now I Have a Three-Picture Deal at Disney,"Tommy read out.Shane looked back at him. "You did what?""That's the title of-" Tommy paused, noticing the lack of red tape. "Oh, it's not one of ours. Guess we'redone then." He chucked it back into the box. "What do I- Whoa! New Star Wars movies!"Do you want to watch that or do you want to watch this?" Shane asked, holding up the Ultimate MatrixCollection."Star Wars can wait," Tommy decided, flipping the box lid shut. He pointed at the collapsing stack ofKeanu DVDs. "What do I do with those?""Just leave them there."Freshly woken up at the unearthly hour of 11am, Conor stumbled in half-awake with his hair sticking upto see some leather-clad person rolling down the stairs on the TV screen and various people situatedaround the sofa area totally engrossed in the scene."What's that?" he asked."Movie," someone said helpfully.Jack passed him the popcorn.It took them several seconds after the movie ended and the credits started rolling to realise that Neowas standing just behind them, arms folded and not looking very happy.Conor surreptitiously fumbled for the remote control and turned the TV off.Guilty faces tried to look less guilty.**Neo unfolded his arms and walked towards the TV, all eyes following him as he went by. He paused bythe pile of DVDs, then crouched down and started going through them, scanning synopses for names ashe glanced back to the captive audience sitting at the sofa.Babes in Toyland'? he wondered. Is this porn?He put that aside; it did not appear to involve a guilty party. His selection made, Neo got back up withthe DVDs cradled in one arm and walked past the others and out the door.The door shut with a low thud. They looked at it. They looked at each other.Silence."...That was an awesome movie," Tommy finally said.And the tension broke with a chorus of 'YEAH!'s and "Is there a sequel?"
Then they fell silent again as Neo returned, picked up the Ultimate Matrix Collection, and took it back tohis room.Conor saw that the sixth floor had a neatly handwritten FAQ ('Where am I? What is this place? Whydoes everyone look like me but weirder?') pasted on the door leading to its corridor. He thought aboutstealing it and sticking it on theirs, then realised that the torn paper and newer-looking tape on onecorner suggested that the folks on the sixth floor had had that exact same idea.Conor wrote an FAQ and stuck it on the door.Moments later it was gone and relocated neatly on the door to the forty-second floor.Eddie Kasalivich frowned at the insides of the little blue cube he had just taken apart. It looked alien inmake; more importantly, it looked like it had probably been a really really bad idea for Jack to havepressed the red button.Jesse whacked at the door with his fists. "DR. MERCER!"Next to him, Tommy stood cradling his bloody arm, the newly attained crate of rum at his feet andtriumph shining through his tears of pain.People made fun of his accent. Jonathan Harker trudged sadly off out of the fourth floor in search ofother British people, and to his joy chanced upon the British Holdout Group.They too made fun of his accent. Depressed, he returned to the fourth floor to be emo.Unhappy at the theft, Conor wrote another FAQ and made it Keanu-spawn specific this time.************This too was stolen and pasted on the eighteenth floor, where it proceeded to create much confusion,angst and identity crises in those characters horrified to learn that in this isolated bubble of hyperspace,they had supposedly been played by an actor whom they claimed to constantly mistake for a tree.
