What is this 4th wall people are talking about? The airship has more than 4 walls. What makes that one any different?
Time flies? Better than this airship. ^_^
- In other news, the real world awareness is leaking.
I remember it being a plot point that Cherry was special in having that perspective. From 311. 'The one who can see past matters of our world into the reality that shapes us all.' A lot of early comics depended on it. (To be fair, most of the cast has hinted at having no 4th wall, especially for throwaway gags, such as the one on 313, so it's not unprecedented)
Pretty much every character has shown awareness they're in a video game and even a comic (Hero and Cherry commenting on becoming the B story once), so none of this 4th wall breaking is new.
I think what's special about Cherry is essentially she thinks outside of the box. While everyone else is aware of and takes their silly, cliche rpg-verse rules in stride; Cherry actually challenges and questions WHY things work the way they do (like this very comic for example).
"Airships are rare, and are prone to breaking at the slightest problem. (For instance, the current situation where a lack of fuel causing is causing an explosion. ) There's only one or two in the world that is reliable.
As for walking, we're heroes! Everyone knows you'd need to leave the car behind any time we'd need to go through a forest, or cave. ... Or a mountain village. They really need to make those streets wider. Maybe they could add a bypass around it??? Nah, that's crazy talk; there's not enough taxes for paving anything but the major city's main road, and the train lines.
Speaking of which, they only go to preset places, and (with few exceptions) we can't reach the plot using them.
Besides which, when a huge monster attacks, would you rather be on your feet, or seated in a cramped area? I know which I would choose.
Why haven't we hit the ground yet? Because there's enough fall distance for you to read all the text first. But, ... um... Brace for impact? I'm done now."

I'd honestly say it's a good third of the comic.
yep
"If cars exist why do we walk everywhere?"
"I don't know. Why do we have cars if airships and trains are common?"
