...It might have been "whew that scary cat isn't here any more." He looked absolutely TERRIFYING in his Echo. Maybe they just fed him because they were too frightened of what he'd do if he got too hungry.

'I once had an Echo to call my own Let's see if I can call it once again... METANEKO-ECHO! METANEKO-ECHO! METANEKO-ECHO!'

He shouted at the Nothing for three hours, forty-two minutes and three-point-one-four seconds. It seemed to roar back from time to time, becoming louder and louder the closer he came to the Crack in the Wall in the Void...

'For the first time in my life, something messes with my mind. I worry about the kittens that I have left behind >:|'

The Cat indeed knew of the danger that awaited us. He had grinned in the face of the Jabberwock several times, but this Elder God attempting to break through the Fourth Wall was millions of magnitudes more horrifying. But just before he decided to go back, he saw

'A curtain? Curiouser and curiouser... '

It covered the lower part of the Crack, and behind the curtain, he saw a small door stuck in the Crack in the Wall. He knew he almost certainly would not be able to fit through in this state. The cat turned his attention to turning the golden doorknob. Most doorknobs will remain lifeless when turned, but this one did not feel like doing such a thing.

'This doorknob has eyes,
Its handle a nose,
Its mouth is a keyhole
A face, I suppose '

'Yes, yes, I am well aware of my face. It's really all I am, you know. Say, what happened to your fur?'

'You are the first to ruffle it. Are you saying I have not cleaned myself well?'

'Well of course not! I didn't mean any insult, it's just that I remembered you more pink-and-purple. Have you been outdoors for a while, Cheshire?'

'Cheshire? Pink and purple? Oh dear, something just clicked... I recognize you, you recognize me! An additional character in a mere copy of the work that gave me birth.'

'A mere COPY?! I don't know who you think you are, but you have insulted my very being! I won't let you through.'
'Now now, it's not quite nice to slam the door in my face '

'Well, you have your haughty behavior to thank for that.'

'I am a cat. I would not be a cat if I weren't haughty, and not be haughty if I weren't a cat >:|'

'Well you're certainly not adorable. In fact, if I could move I would...'

The Wall shook. It had remained immobile for the entirety of its existence, ever since a caveman decided to draw his cavechildren a bedtime story. Even with the Cracks, the Wall itself had remained relatively stable. But now, with this demon awakened and trying to escape, reality was in true danger. Cthulhu's attempts to break through sent ripples of energy through the fabric of the Wall.

'W-What was that?'

'I smell seafood. Normally I am quite fond of it, but this particular beast tends to snap back. I prefer to stay far away from eldritch calamari.'

'I can feel something powerful hitting the Wall. Are we in danger?'

'I have a feeling we are. And even moreso if we dawdle here any longer. I apologize for my rudeness earlier. This is no time to make enemies '

'I don't know... You still look awfully tricky.'

'... '

'Very well then. Now, let's get you smaller, shall we? Otherwise I am simply impassable. Why don't you try the bottle?'

Yes, there lay a bottle behind them, made with glass and filled with some green... stuff. Cheshire took a sip and found it to be an energizing drink, if a bit hallucinogenic. He shrunk (because what else would you expect) and could now easily walk through the door. On the other side it felt as if the air was quaking. Cheshire hoped that everyone would still be at their places.

'A-hum!'

'Ah, yes, of course '

He set his claws deeply in the wood and with an amount of strength you would not expect from a talking cat, he yanked Doorknob with door and all out of the Crack in the Fourth Wall.

'Thank you.'

'My pleasure. One good turn deserves another, as you would say...'

Both were behind the Wall now and parted ways. Doorknob slowly floated back to his own world, and Cheshire too felt drawn towards home. The tropes showed him the way, guided him back into his own story. A girl's voice was heard, saying 'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'

'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.
