We had discussed this also in the Discord, and I thing the general consensus that was agreed on was “it doesn’t sound exactly right, but we know nothing of the hard science, so we will let this slide.”

Although, the idea of showing this scene to a physicist and asking them if it is correct intrigues me.

I would argue that Jade is the Witch of the East

The witch of the east was the one who originally wore the ruby slippers, and Jade is coming from the right side (East) traveling left (West).

Outside of that though, I want to say that John is Dorothy. Because while they aren’t really the “leaders” of the group, they are still the glue that holds the group tightly together.

I want to say that Dave would be the Lion because he is trying to gain confidence and courage to be as cool and brave as a real hero, like Bro and John.

Rose would be scarecrow because Dave would put her there for ironic purposes (she has all the brains being in the brainless of the bunch). But Scarecrow wasn’t dumb, just ignorant of the world because he was stuck to a pole all his life. So they are both trying to learn more about the world they are in, and use that knowledge to help everyone.

And Jack would be the Wicked Witch of the West. That one should be obvious.

I would have recommended heelies, but those would probably be terrible to use in a forest.

Jake is such a polite boy, even when hearing about his own death. But to be fair, I would have the same reaction since the concept of dream bodies is weird.
