Basically, Alanis is a conspiracy theorist who thinks they're now all in a computer simulation.

Also, the only reason Mio didn't blow up at him is that he didn't say the world was pointless. If he had.....dear god.

The world isn't pointless. That's ridiculous. What the hell is Eirika supposed to destroy if there isn't a world?

[Shadestyle]

It is meta, and it isn't funny, while it isn't OOC knowledge, it is about as supremely irritating as a 4th wall breaking character who isn't funny.  Especially when it essentially means "Don't make mistakes while role-playing or I will pick at them."  The same effect could be achieved by a character who starts an argument every time someone makes an off hand comment about birds.

[Twi]

Guess what? An in-universe perspective is irrelevant.The universe exists for the sake of us, the real people, not anyone inside the universe.

Which leads me to the point that all fourth-wall-damage done should be considered non-canon because otherwise, that way lies drama. As we have noticed here. And I think something similar happened back in Rise of the Magical Girls?

Anyways, if the world is explicitly meant to be fictional, like if it were framed as a romantic epic story with the people in it just being actors or something, it has to be built up around that idea. This game is not built up around that idea, so all meta-shenanigans and things-that-imply-fictionality should be subjected to what I hear is called the Brown Tewi Rule: Canon is not immutable. Everything can be as canon or un-canon as we the readers like, so  long as we don't try to hold two contradictory ideas. In this case, Alanis's evidence that the multiverse is a fictional construct contradicts the generally held belief that characters should not break the fourth wall and talk about the universe being fictional unless it's for laughs. So, clearly, Alanis's evidence must be thrown out or ignored, because it is like, 90 times less real than what the actual players want out of the game.

Kapeesh?

[Shadestyle]

Really it boils down to it not being fun, literally something labeled as key right in the OP.

I may make an exception for this particular snap, because I'm using it to introduce a plot point for later and having a depressed Alanis (anyone, really, but Alanis needs more ships) helps. Otherwise, for the love of Bellisario and all things tropey keep the fourth wall shut or someone dies.

Is it bad that I want Mio's world to end up dead just because of the massive double mind breaks it would cause Mio and Alanis?

[SOLDIER First]

Eirika can help with that.
