Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten what you came to do, or searched for something only to realize it was in your hand? She does that to people.
The subconscious and conscious mind works together in perceiving your surroundings, take one out and your brain doesn't register stuff properly even though it's right there. It's kinda like hypnotism/brainwashing but different. I'm sure Koishi would be noticed if she bumped into somebody or made loud noises, then they'd be all "oh wow didn't even realize she was there!".
Basically, the people who see her don't deem her as significant or out of the ordinary. To them, Koishi is effectively as out-of-place in the mansion as the windows or the carpet on the floor.
Nilix said: Girls, Bullets, and Alcohol. And sometimes magic. What else is there? I'm surprised there isn't an Hollywood Movie on touhou yet.
no...NO!!! no more hollywood movies ruining sh!t, the bullets will actually be from guns, Sukia and Yuugi would be drunken sluts and the magic will be harry potter styled Marisa. I can go on this subject but I thinks this is enough. Jokes on the 'Wood.
EricGN said: So Koishi's ability to manipulate subconscious is like "you are invisible but not really invisible?"
As has been said in various other places, think of the "Somebody Else's Problem field" from Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.
They may see her, but they don't register her as anything interesting and ignore her. If she touches someone or makes herself known, then the effect is gone, but if she's quiet and acts like the group, she gets away with damn near anything (eg changing clothes in public)
I consciously want Koishi Does that mean I probably want Satori subconsciously? Only now I want her consciously as well. I think I subconsciously want to be Yuka or Flandre's plaything...
I think the best way to explain it is that she's not literally invisible. She's invisible in a much better way, one which works even if she speaks or bumps into things or even fights. She's *socially* invisible. People can see her, but they don't pay her attention and they don't understand the significance of her presence or anything she's doing, and then she gets forgotten once out of sight.
Perception Filter, just how the TARDIS operates. To quote the Doctor: "Just shifts your perception a tiny little bit. Doesn't make us invisible, just unnoticed. Oh, I know what it's like! It's like… It's like when you fancy someone and they don't even know you exist. That's what it's like."
First I'll eat dishes like those. Then, I'll take a dessert, preferably pound cake or pudding.I wouldn't mind staying there for a while.☆Koishi's tips☆
Koishi has attained the ability to hide herself from everyone by closing her third eye and moving subconsciously!While walking, I'm trying to figure out what I want to eat.※See "omake" from SA.Let's see... this is a western-style mansion. They must have dishes like cabbage rolls, gratin and stew.How does that even work!?
