You break the 5th wall by referencing a character you've previously played, or another irrelevant series altogether; much like William Shatner often makes reference to Star Trek.G. freemaan said:how do you break that?

The one thing I don't get is whether this person was simply telling Quote this stuff, or if Quote was conversing with him/her (and if so, whether or not Quote started the conversation). It wouldn't tell us who he/she is, but it would help answer a few questions at least.G. freemaan said:it said:

Whos says that there were any questions?MetaSeraphim said:No, because it's flawed.
If the voice is actually talking to you and not a pre-recorded message it doesn't have to answer any of your questions.
