Hey. Your dragonflies. Any way you can disguise them to not look like your dragonflies?

All willing subjects, of course. And no direct manipulation of the mind.

Only surface Concepts that shift the senses. Like < notice > or < blue > or < normal > or < sour >. The one I'm trying to create is probably borderline as a surface Concept, but it's one that everyone in the Inn is regularly exposed to and it's one that I'm very familiar with.

So it can't be too bad, right?

In any case, I don't really dare to do anything deeper. Changing people's minds, sneaking suggestions, tampering with the Concepts that make up a person, etc. Not even as a last resort.

Mostly because I don't think I can resist the temptation once push came to shove. It's easy to start saying everything's a shove if you have the power for it.

So I'm putting this post here to keep me honest.

I'm trying to conceptualize < Unknowable >.

The plan is to have Ava's dragonflies wreck havoc on the walls while having the Concept on them. The army will see said Dragonflies but be incapable of remembering specific details about them.

Afterwards, people will refer back to the recordings of the incident, which is where Echo's manipulation of the record will finish the job.

Because people will use the recordings to fill in the missing gaps in their memory. So what Echo creates will become what they know. Because people tend to trust technology over their own memory.

Problem it's easier said that done.

I've seen Lillian use this before. I should be able to do what she can.

So why is it so hard?

I was hoping that having the Blank Canvases around, who innately are Unknowable, would inspire me. And...they're helping somewhat. They keep putting a light bulb in my hand. And I know Lillian uses light bulbs when she feels compelled to wield Unknowable - and the lightbulb turns black in her hand - emits a light that casts everything around it in shadow.

But when I try to do the same, I keep creating the Concept < black, light > instead. And I don't have enough Faith to carelessly experiment.

I WASN'T EVEN NI THAHT BIOLOG Y CLASS?

LILS SAID THAT. NOT ME.

WHY THE HELL DID I GET THE DETENTION?

SHRIEEEEEEEEEEEK

BULLSHIT INSTIGATING HER, MY ASS.
