Is there anyone else here from my world I should know about?

To everyone else: I'm sorry about the loud, screaming goddess you just heard. She has this stupid thing against humans where she wants to wipe them all out. Just ignore her. Even if she is being really loud.

When have we ever observed privacy? We don't even have a fourth wall.

Which, if you've forgotten, we are not supposed to be discussing in public! Don't go telling people you're from a game; it's irresponsible!

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

How is it irresponsible? I'm just telling the truth. Just because we're from a video game doesn't mean everyone else is!

[maybe_a_king]

[Well that explains everything!]

Yes, I do. A friend of mine is rather fond of them. [And her uncle freaking collects any kind of samurai memorabilia he can afford with his paycheck, which includes a few games.

Plus Taiga is really frakking epic at the local Smash Bros. knockoff.]

[forceofnature]

That was 2-dimensional! We've got height to factor in now; you can't even reach me without help anymore. What are you going to do if I drop a Reset Bomb? Stand on the ground with a sword pointing up and hoping you hit the core?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

[ Pit lets out a sigh of relief. ]

Thank goodness. I had to explain it to my...um...a friend of mine who didn't have video games in her world. It was really hard!

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

I'll find a way! I'm not as helpless as you think I am!

[forceofnature]

You'll have them questioning the reality of their own existences! It's correlational - if we're from fiction, they'll realize they are, too. Then we'll be dealing with existential crises on top of the monsters.

[maybe_a_king]

[The main point that sticks from that is the fact that Viridi confirmed angels can die which pretty much makes Arturia's Mama Bear instincts kick in since she's pretty fond of the angel.]

Then it's a good thing that for the moment we have the same goal of trying to save this world. [SHE IS NOT GOING TO LET PIT FIGHT YOU ALONE IF IT COMES TO THAT. B|]

[forceofnature]

Look, we can talk about this on our own time. Can we keep this to one thread? I'm having trouble keeping continuity intact here.

[maybe_a_king]

I can imagine. I have a friend who is from the far future from my perspective. There are many things about his time period that completely boggle my mind.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Don't be ridiculous! Our being from a video game doesn't make anyone else fictional, it just means our world happens to be a video game. For all I know everyone else here comes from a world where they can play our game!

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Yeah, I'm happy my world's the way it is. I know a lot of things I probably shouldn't considering our world's not as technologically advanced as other people's.

Although I still don't know who that Icarus guy my game's named after is.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

You're the one who decided to threadjack. But whatever.

[forceofnature]

Pit wouldn't face me in one-on-one combat, anyway - not as he is now. He got all his weapons from me and Palutena, too.

[Also Viridi wouldn't have the heart to do more than throw some Nutskis at him.]

If you want a full idea of how things went down, I suggest talking to Pitooey. Much as I hate to admit, he's the least biased of the three of us.

He's [a brief pause as her voice suddenly becomes deep] ~servant to none other than himself~. [gag]

[maybe_a_king]

You've never heard the legend of Icarus?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

[ Pit tries to submit a response but is mysteriously prevented from doing so by an unseen force! ]

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Nope.

Was he cool?

[forceofnature]

C'mon, Pit, use that noggin! Fictional characters can't exist alongside real people - it just doesn't make sense! We're either all real or we're all fake here.

And given the scrollbar I see on the right, I'm pretty sure it's the latter.

Besides, it's more fun to see the funny looks they give us when we're subtle about it.

[maybe_a_king]

It depends on your perspective: his myth is considered a tragedy and a parable.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Viridi, if fictional people can't exist with real people, then why do we know so much about video games?

[forceofnature]

Hahahahahahahahaa!

O-Oh, sorry. Please, carry on. This didn't happen.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

...what?

What happened to him?

[forceofnature]

What do you mean? You're not going to start going on about the Komaytoes again, are you?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Like how do we know they look like metroids? Why did we think of Donkey Kong with those jump pads and rolling barrels? If we're fictional, we shouldn't know all this stuff! But we do. That's just how it is. So I don't see how it's impossible for us to be from a video game and still be around people who are real.

His father was a brilliant man who who designed the labyrinth that kept the Minotaur was imprisoned in. After the Minotaur was defeated, the King imprisoned Icarus and his father on an island as punishment. Icarus's father then fashioned wings out of wax and feathers to help them escape and warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun nor too close to the sea. Icarus did not heed this warning, too overcome with the joy and freedom of flight, which melted the wax on his wings and they fell apart. Icarus then fell to the sea and drowned.
