* If the brain-washing and hypnosis was this ridiculously reliable and foolproof, to the point where they could hypnotize people into convincing themselves a certain color is invisible, that they're witnessing transformations, and the like, why exactly did they bother with the "pure black" thing in the first place? Why not just plant a suggestion like, "you cannot see machinery that isn't meant to be there", for the machinery around town, for example? Or heck, given how stupidly broad the logic of the hypnotism is, something like "just ignore anything that doesn't make sense" could've worked. Just by breathing near a piece of paper that someone used ink made from hypnotic substances years ago. That's one hell of a broad set of "rules" that can be inflicted onto someone, just by sniffing some ink for a few seconds. * Just how freaking broad is the suggestion of the hypnotic ink in the first place? After only being exposed to it for a matter of seconds (the ink being on the pages of a book that was written years ago no less, so it couldn't have had much potency left), Luke and Layton had exposed to a trigger-suggestion that allowed them to think Darklaw was a bird and that after entering their office, she transformed from that bird into a witch, and then that she flew out of the office and into the night sky, leaving the entire place trashed. Considering how little room there actually was between the crane and the ground though that seems really improbable to me. To grab on to them as they fell, Luke would've had to have waited until they past the crane, then dropped the crane suddenly to grab onto them before they hit the ground. The crane's grabbers are aimed downwards, like any normal crane with grabbers. * How did Luke manage to catch Espella and Darklaw with the crane? Ignoring the fact that it's pretty ridiculous that a kid could learn how to operate a crane like that so quickly, they were falling downwards towards the ground. This would also future-proof any new factors and machinery introduced later into the project, as older townsfolk already under their hypnotic contract likely can't revise theirs to accommodate new stuff, only refresh it through the ink. This way, if there's something that they need to hide, simply paint it pitch black. Drain the pasta, reserving a little big of cooking water (1/4 cup). Remove from heat and add the lemon juice and zest, and the parmesan, stirring to combine. ![]() Simmer until thick and reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Assigning the townsfolk to not see a simple color (or in this case, lack thereof) is much simpler than telling them more complicated commands like, "ignore the machinery and people in cloaks". Then, add the heavy cream and lower the heat to a simmer. ![]() ![]()
