Cool Old Guy: Jack is getting into that age bracket, though he was not in the first stories.

Breaking the Fourth Wall

comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Characters are perfectly comfortable talking about the audience. At one point, one character describes an eerie feeling of being watched and is reassured it's just the audience.

Mad Scientist: Dr. Missoula, though not a very sinister one, in Fourth Tower of Inverness. Well, he's called a mad scientist, but his effects are more Magic-Powered Pseudoscience.

Really 700 Years Old
 Jack Flanders (Radio) / int_5c5ac0e2
comment
Really 700 Years Old: The recurring/reincarnating character Little Freida is (at least sometimes) a Venusian child who seems about ten in Earth terms but declares herself to be "a million and a half years old."

Long List

comment
Long List: Early in Dreams of Rio, a mechanical voice starts listing all of the types of Coca-Cola available. The list keeps going even as the narrator is talking over the top of it.

Our Vampires Are Different
 Jack Flanders (Radio) / int_9f63d4f1
comment
Our Vampires Are Different: The Lady Madonna Vampira, in Fourth Tower of Inverness, is an energy vampire. She starts a love affair with a victim, then breaks it off in the middle, going off with all the guy's psychic energy, leaving him an Empty Shell, at least for a while, and making her something of a succubus. She is, however, one of the good guys (more or less) and can't help herself.

Narrating the Obvious
 Jack Flanders (Radio) / int_ae254ead
comment
Narrating the Obvious: As per standard with radio dramas. Since Jack has a distinct (and sometimes interactive) narrator, the characters don't have to describe their own circumstances quite as much as they otherwise would, though they still do more than they would in another medium.

Our Dragons Are Different: They breathe fire and looks exactly like classic dragons but they are thought-forms from the collective unconscious.

Interactive Narrator: Mostly not, but occasionally characters will do things like correct his pronunciation, and, at the end of Fourth Tower of Inverness, the narrator gives Jack a ride in the jeep back to town (and out of the story).
