Only while they have the energy for it in the first place. And sometimes, they do miss people in applying their illusions or events.

[He knows this both from experience and from hearing it from others, and he really wonders if it might be from a lack of enough energy to always affect everyone.]

[notimpervious]

They miss people? You mean, there are people who go unaffected during events? [Interesting.] Does it happen every event? Is it always the same people?

[lifetothefullest]

[So many questions!!]

Yes, that's what I mean. I don't know if it happens every event or if there are certain people affected more often than others; I know I was missed once, but I've been affected by other events.

[He is not sad to have been skipped over for the ghosts event, even if he'd been somewhat jealous in a few ways while it was going on.]

You were missed once? [Huh.] I wonder if there is some rationale behind any of this. Perhaps it can be leveraged in our favor.

[lifetothefullest]

I was; there was a particularly bad event and I was fortunate enough not to be involved.

[Directly, anyway. He was still involved through other people, though, in several respects, and just that much had been difficult to deal with.]

There may be, and I'd be interested in looking into it, but we'd have to rely on people actually telling us things.

[Which is easier said than done here.]

[She gives a thoughtful hum, frowning as she stares off into the middle disstance.]

They might be more inclined to share their experiences if the questions are presented as a way of identifying some sort of... weakness or defect in the abductors' influence.
