Olive: You in the ominous shadows! Where did you come from, and why don’t I know who you are?
Man-In-Black Type: Look, you know how the Secret Order of Monster Hunters has Man-in-Black types who disrupt the memories of their foes?
Olive: Mmhmm?
MiB: I’m a little too good at my job.
Olive: . . . orrrr you could be a total stranger with an overly elaborate cover story.
MiB: Yeah, I get that a lot. Crystal! Roll °212.

…is that a Daily Show reference?
Sure is.
Hmmm… a little too good at disrupting memories… I see braids and a familiar collar shape in the darkness… Emmanuel? Is that you?
Prooooobably it is!
Glad to see I am not the only one who thinks that!
Great! Why can’t I remember who Emmanuel is?! Can anyone help?
Because he’s a little too good at his job, of course. (I don’t recognize the name, either.)
This is Erin’s personal design for the Man in the Tan Jacket from Welcome to Night Vale; calling him Emmanuel specifically refers to Erin’s WTNV/His Dark Materials crossover, where TJ is Cecil’s brother who was the target of a… very botched spell. At least, I think Emmanuel is only TJ’s first name in that particular universe.
Different name, gender, and backstory, but I am definitely ripping off my own character design. And some of my favorite unmemorability gags.
Let the theorizing about her origins commence….
Does she still have an affinity for insects?
I haven’t nailed down her daemon yet, but I can tell you it will be a little more… conventional.
Erin, I am seriously Googling plants/flowers that are associated with forgetfulness. I’ve only come up with Poppy and Daylily so far.
Calling her “Forget-me-not” would probably be a little too on the nose….
Best ever outcome would be if they turn out to be the President’s long lost brother, ahahha
