Makes you wonder how a hypothetical city of invisible people could manage to get around without bumping into others constantly. I wonder what kind of mechanisms or innovations that could be used in such a city so that people could still have personal space and an ordered society.

I mean in most invisibility stories the ones who are invisible can see others who are invisible. It would make sense that in Invis city would people see each other.

Question - I just finished ch 5. I had the scene where MC and Evelyn fuck like rabbits and he gains her power. He said she would be his guinea pig. I figured that would mean he would see what she would do that day, but instead ended up watching Marina? :unsure:

Because he touched Marina that day too. If he doesn't "select" a host himself, then he'll scry one person from whomever he touched that day. He doesn't know how to control the selection part of the power yet, so it selected Marina randomly.

Well MC also touched Bitch McBitchface in the paused photo session (if he agreed that is) so it could have been her as well.
Or Mrs. Ross.
Or Ruth.
Or Georgia.


Or Frasier ...



Thing is realistically the only person MC touched after he acquired that power is Evelyn and everyone else was touched beforehand so it should have been her.
And btw. that power also has ... weird specifications and unknowns.
For instance the "that day" is only speculated, so it could have been the not-so-nice barista she touched 5 weeks ago when buying a coffee.
Or her dad ...

It was explained pretty explicitly by Evelyn. Anyone she touches on the present day, she could scry into the next following day. The host is selected at random, but she's learn to select her host at will from those who she's physically touched.

Example: She makes physical contact with 5 people on the 18th... When she goes to sleep that night, she'll scry into the entire day's events of the 19th with full sensory perspective of her host. ONE of the five people she touched will be selected at random unless she chooses one of the five at will.

The scene where MC scries into Marina was simply to illustrate how Evelyn's power looks from her perspective. He might have touched a number of people that day and he was trying to scry into Evelyn per her advice but he failed. So his host was chosen at random and it happened to be Marina.

He did touch her before acquiring the power, true. But based on the rules we know of her power, it was within how it's expected to work. He did touch Marina that specific day and he scried into her next day while he slept.

That the time it is decided is "a day" is what Evelyn THINKS applies.
That it did not happen for days prior (and not all people look upon a calendar daily i.e. Evelyn did not necessarily know whether it was sunday or saturday when she scried that barista ...) does not mean it can't happen.
For all we know she could be scrying a dude for today she accidentally brushed against in the bus last week and her power only NOW decided to scry him.
Every power is different. And users knowing exactly how their own power works at all times are rare at best.
Amber for example knows that she is permanently invisible. Truth is it apparently can be controlled as she went visible briefly at kissing MC.

And btw. there was no mention of the current day MC scried. It could very well be that this was the second day at school for her (first day she got her clothes nicked and the day would stand out) the very same as if it was the day that is about to happen. It could be that Evelyn uses the "standard version" of the power that only works on this day and MC is "special" (apart from having a telephone pole as a dick) and accesses the "improved version" instead.


And no from what is known of that power it is not said that "it was within how it's expected to work".
Your assumption is based on Evelyn, but remember she had it way prior.
I see it as the mutagen is transferred via touch, much like todds imprint, and that action activates the power. Thing is at the point MC transferred the mutagen it could not do that.
It is like trying to eat a boiled egg for breakfast before you boiled the water.
