Like, when it's not full-on prose, but it's [in brackets]? Yeah, she's aware of that. (Prose, too, but that gets murkier on my end.) Saturn is not aware she is a fictional character -- that is not the nature of her metatextual awareness. Without getting too into the weeds of how her universe works -- basically, physics and metaphor are the same thing, and both of them get a little weird out in space. With a strong enough will, you can change what the narrative says: I'm shot and die instantly can become I dodged at the last second and wasn't hurt, because you feel it so strongly it takes priority over the impact your opponent is making on the narrative, and - so - becomes true, because their will for their desired outcome is weaker than yours.
By default in Karteria, Saturn has some awareness of narrative / OOC text in her own posts, but cannot perceive anything metatextual from someone else's posts - including word choice / tone - unless explicitly opted into here. Unless explicitly approved by all involved players, she is completely unable to use this to get any ideas about what someone else is doing / any information that would cause her to change her course of action.
