Also, what about Cheshire as Marley? He is the fictional who has had the most direct interaction with A by far. Also, he has been refictionalized already (so that fills that requirement) and he is the most spirit-like of all the fictionals.
And let me get this straight: The bad future is Deanna taking over the role of A as a result of A not listening to us? Because it's really hard to piece together the whole story by what is scattered everywhere in this topic. I'm still not sure how much influence we have on the story either >.<
I rather like that idea, Rota. Cheshire would be both a fun character to see in the role and for somebody to play, and he really gets on A's nerves sooo
Definitely suggesting that to BW!
Yes I'm a little unclear as to the details myself. BW already went into a bit, if you read upwards. So far as I understand it, the defeat of Cthulhu goes smoothly, as it did in real life, but the Instantations remain distant, as BW said:

We can focus on Metaguards celebrating victory as well as the holidays, and our frustration at his dismissal of celebration as "FRIVOLOUS, UNNECESSARY EXPENDITURE OF ENERGY" or some-such.
Future: It's most important that the dire future we set out for the story be a result of Mr. A's attitude towards people, both fictional and real. Because in the end, what Scrooge learned in the original was less about Christmas and more about being human:
So in layman's terms: Mister A's inability to understand human traditions and customs is linked to his refusal to understand our relationship to fiction (in a way fictionals and christmas are related, because both rely on human beings' obsession with things which are not 'real', but hold a great deal of value to us; things Mister A does not udnerstand and is dismissive of). If you look back at Mister A's ealier videos his
prejudice towards fictionals is blatantly clear. He sees fictionals as things to be controlled, and the wall as a force to hold them back. So long as his desires are met, he doesn't care about HOW it's done.
We've already seen how his behaviour sometimes grated on us, partly because he just couldn't understand us, and partly because he really just didn't always TRY to. That leads to distrust, which means when a big crisis happens (for example, part of the wall DOES fall,) Mister A loses allies, is killed, and replaced by one who presents a better solution - in this case Deanna (please note, extreme leaders are a lot more likely to get into power during extreme circumstances because. That's how Hitler got into power, for example, of course Deanna is still a creepy, creepy person and we'll have to think a bit to make that plausible). If Mister A had trusted people more and been more honest with them from the start (and also listened to their warnings about Deanna) he might have avoided his fate, and thus avoided the entire bad future.
Aaaand now I've evoked Godwin's law, I'll get back to trying to figure out this audition process
Hence the smiles.
