Delphinium: Your condition must be awfully convenient, darling. No fear of blowing your cover, no danger of being recognized . . .
WiB: It has some perks.
Delphinium: Do you ever forget to turn it off when you go home? Confuse your housemates . . . scare the cat?
WiB: Oh, it doesn’t have an off switch.
Other than the person I take orders from, I’m unmemorable to everyone. Always.
Delphinium: Everyone? Even . . . do you have a family?
WiB: They’re not in this country, but yeah, I have family. And right now they wouldn’t know me if they saw me.
Delphinium: Oh my dear, I imagine that’s rather stressful.
WiB: Yeah . . . I find ways to work it out.

Well…. THAT didn’t work!
Let’s try this…. *hugging hugs*….
Better. I find out how this stuff works (or doesn’t) via many “oopses”.
:-/
Anyway, many good thoughts to ALL those serving, and missing, family, friends, and country.
“Confuse your housemates” is a very good point. I imagine if she has any, they have to put up signs every few feet saying “if you can’t remember her face, that’s cool, she lives here; signed, you”.
…Does her power work through crystal phone calls or crystal email*?
* Is crystal email cmail?
It works over voice chat and video chat. Any photo taken of her will come out blurry.
Text messages, c-mail, and handwritten messages have a little more staying power — if she wrote something like “tickets for Leachtric go on sale next week,” you’d remember it — but any specific identifying information about herself would still fall right out of people’s minds.
Huh, so not even an email like “Hi [parent] I’m doing ok; sorry I can’t say more because of the secrecy of the government work I’ve been doing”? That’s pretty rough.
On the bright side, they probably don’t remember she ever existed, so they won’t miss her.
… Wait, not bright side. The other thing.
