I'm quite serious.  My understanding of this is that our characters don't know about the real world.  The Virtual Reality they are in is what they perceive as true reality.  The characters might have quirks from their real world selves, but they wouldn't necessarily understand why they're using the phrases/actions they are using or what they necessarily mean.<br/><br/>I mean, Lynn (and possibly others) will correct me if I am wrong, I am certain.  But that's my understanding of how this all was intended ^^"
