The Fourth Wall
From TCWiki
- "My faction's house has many rooms, but only three walls." - Sabyr
The fourth wall is a term borrowed from theater; generally it means being aware of and addressing the audience.
This can lead to the good, the bad, and the silly.
It is an unwritten rule of Megatokyo: the Clans to try and keep things separate, and the fourth wall is indicative of this separation between authors and characters. After all, there is what the author knows, and what the character knows.
Additionally, there is, in point of fact, a physical wall within the halls of the Temple of the Continuity Monks in Southeastern MegaTokyo. Hinted at during cryptic otherspace posts from Thale Balmanti, there was an investigation of large gashes in this wall, and some variety of beast attempting to escape from beyond it. It was concurrently revealed that a small measure of Reality Crystals had survived the death of WolfDead, and persisted long enough to fall into the capable hands of Eranos "DJ Sparq" Seroran (later revealed to be an impostor thereof, working for the Instigators, unbeknownst to both). What effect this weakening of the Fourth Wall, and to what ends these crystals will in fact be used, remains to be seen.
Mostly due to the fact that Thale really hasn't ever finished this thread arc. Ever.
If you see him, kick him for us.
