Thing is, so far only Named Characters have made an appearance. And taking Cheshire off the equation, everyone active on this side until now is also a Main Character. Even if Moriarty is on this side and we include Cheshire, they still are ALL Major Characters. No Bob from the Nasuverse is show and, for such Major Characters, going back is (mostly) not that bad.

Also, I'd find it exciting to get some insight on the possible outcomes of a full break... Getting my own Devil Fruit or Air Furies would be a bonus, yes. But knowing the nature and consequences of the wall's crumbling... That's... FOR SCIENCE! :gurt:

If we get to a point of choice, expect me to join the Demolition Crew!


How do we know only named characters have appeared? Who would recognise Bob from the Nasuverse?
I think the only reason named characters are appearing is because they've been "written." Minor charcters exist but aren't really described in much detail in most stories.

Fair enough. We'd have to consider that the Bobs might not even be self-aware to the fact that they are fictional characters too. Much the same way Buffy's random students don't realize they're living in a nightmare nest, they could be here and be unaware of the difference.

On another vein, they might actually be the ones working these threats and trying to sabotage Mr. A's attempts at sending them back, after all, they'll be worse off going back.

I should stop now, or I'll end up going combinatory on this... Walls of pointless text would ensue.

This is likely the case with our confused Holmes and Poirot too, right? Not sure about the Therapist's patient... and who's to say whether Cinderella knew what was going on? Or that guy running with the sparkles... And I doubt the Cheshire cat would CARE whether he knew or not... Which of them do you think know, and which don't?
They sometimes say, "the place where I am right now was circled on a map for me"... Unfortunately, I kind of suck at orienteering.

Holmes and Moriarty seem the most self aware to me.

Oh, the Cat is DEFINITELY self-aware. Perhaps more so than any other. But like you said, it's not like he cares about that either way.
He's the only one besides Mr. A and Gurt to ever talk in terms of "this site, that side".
Sparkly and the Knight seemed VERY alienated on the videos, though. And Poirot is handling everything as if he's still inside one of his books, so...

I dunno about those two. It was weird. Sparkly was wearing jogging shorts, and the Knight seemed to be able to operate that elevator just fine. I mean, if he hadn't been able to, the camera man would have caught up to him before the doors closed.
Normal people are the easiest to manipulate. Too smart and they have an annoying tendency to catch wind of your plans, too dumb and, in the words of a certain pirate, "You can never tell when they are about to do something incredibly...stupid."

The sparkling man might not be the fictional element but the sparkle. Someone said before he could be being chased by fairies.

True. Well, I'm not really sure what to make of all those early events, since I have pretty much no specific information. As a certain Sherlock said in a recent movie "Data, data, data, I cannot make bricks without clay." I'm not the greatest WMG maker ever, since my mind doesn't work too well at creating single theories. In other words, I create a theory, then start trying to create another theory for every single area of doubt in the first one, and then I hit the limits of a human brain and end up with nothing again. I need info to shore up some of the doubt points so that I can create something that is a reasonable size.
