He says his father calls him Kit when he's in a good mood. :)<br/><br/>So, that's another question... some fairy tales, Disney or otherwise, are pretty explicitly set in specific real countries, such as Beauty and the Beast (France, for Disney), or Aladdin (Arabia for Disney, a very Arabic looking China for the original Arabian Nights). Does that still hold for our characters? Will they be able to recognise that their home world and the new world have the same geography and similar history, if they're educated enough?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Well, given that we're making our own versions of these characters, and that they exist in an alternate reality, despite where the myths originated in our world, theirs is a much smaller one wherein they can realistically all meet without modern transportation technology. While the real world will be a rather strange place, I had intended for the residents of the real world to be able to help them acclimate and handle the things they can't (technology, weapons, geography, etc.)<br/><br/>Most of them, if they are literate (we're just going to assume language is universal here, despite accents) will eventually find out that not only is this new world devoid of magic and the supernatural (minus their newfound presence there, of course) but that each of them is nothing more than a work of fiction as far as most of them are concerned, and even then, that their tales are woefully incomplete at best or completely ass-backwards at worst. But it won't affect their ability to cope since they know the reality of their own story and situation.<br/><br/>The idea that the world of the fairy tale characters is like our globe, I don't know if that works well enough unless it was drastically smaller. Perhaps a flat-earth, more of a disc? That would blow their minds to find out this new world is round, and so much huger. But they'll be isolated to a very large city and its outskirts so exploring (until one side emerges victorious, anyway) will be out of the question.
