So Will has accepted that he is in some sort of Twilight Zone version of the Ring Trilogy. I think this could be very interesting to theorize about. I mean, is Will in a Virtual Reality Prison, has he started hallucinating from the sheer badness of Leviticus the Musical, or is he really the chosen Ringer Bearer? If so, what does that mean to Will's reality? It's one thing to accept that Aliens, Vampires and Government Conspiracies are real, quite another to find your life following a book; fated, scripted. I wonder if Will is starting to feel some existential terror right about now.<P>--Tuscahoma

I think Jackie is just caught up in all of this, she keeps looking at Will like "He dosent actually BELIVE that, does he?"
By the by, who is Jackie supposed to be? I've managed to recognize some of the majors, but I never did finish the series.
As for the "I'm actually fated for this" idea, DON'T LET IT HAPPEN, WILL! I really hate 'destiny', but that's another rant entirely.<P>------------------

Maybe Jackie has something more to do with this, somehow and she's suprised at how well he's taking it. <P>As for Will, I think he's running on instinct right now. <P>

Luckily Will has no time to really think about it, "fate" is pulling him along to fast, and he still isn't sure if this is some elaborate plan/reality prison, or not. (Though if it was elaborate plan/reality prison, why would we see events not directly associated with Will? The scenes with Sorryman and Gone-Ralph.) <P>It would be interesting if the story goes by, and there is no evidence that this was anything but reality. Let Will chew on that one for a while. <P>Maybe he will break the fourth wall, realizing he is a web comic character, and meet T. ala the comic "Animal Man."

Maybe Jackie's the infamous fourth wall,
that without which, nothing happens.<P>------------------

Hey! Lay off the GMs. Our job is damn hard. I can't tell you how many times I've had groups who just weren't able to roleplay very well. If I didn't drop an obvious clue or show them what was going on they would stay in place and stare, rather than explore and think. Maybe God was just getting sick of...<P>Oh, duh!
