Fourth wall? What fourth wall?

Suddenly, characters are aware. Of what? Of everything. They know they come from a book, game, anime, what have you; they know they're being played badly by their muns; they know that hey, you're just doing this to embarrass me, aren't you? So better watch out; characters are busting through that fourth wall! Hopefully they can handle the knowledge... and hopefully you can handle your character.

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

Hm... Isn't that a ?

[leftmeindespair.livejournal.com]

I don't know what you're talking about.

If you live to commit suicide, as you imply, then once you kill yourself, then you truly have nothing to live for.

[leftmeindespair.livejournal.com]

Yes! See! It makes sense, doesn't it!?

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

Well...

No, not really.

When I die, I'll be achieving my life's ultimate goal!

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

But isn't that kind of... easy?

[leftmeindespair.livejournal.com]

Easy? Obviously you've never tried to die before! You have to think about timing! Location! Maybe even find some travel companions!
