The slightly more complicated version is that Lily's power divides the world into what Lily calls "whitespace" and "blackspace." The former is any space that's being actively observed -- basically anywhere someone would be able to see Lily. The latter is unobserved space. The borders between the two are game for stepping, though valid boundaries do *not* include where fields of vision overlap or where they're halted by solid objects, those objects can and do cast "shadows" in blackspace. As a rule of thumb, Lily can only step if no one would actually be able to see her teleport. Additionally, steps are directional: she can step from either whitespace or blackspace, but has to step into a similar zone. | The slightly more complicated version is that Lily's power divides the world into what Lily calls "whitespace" and "blackspace."

She can see people's eyes projecting luminous cones of whitespace, rotating and flickering and casting long shadows when objects block their line of sight, wrapped in the subtle fabric of Boundaries. Her boundary sight is not blocked by physical obstructions, though details are reduced to an indistinct fog after a moderate distance, and are further washed out by her own vision when she has her eyes open. | ||
Individual steps do not require much effort, but stepping quickly many times in succession gets tiring pretty quickly, especially if a lot of distance is involved. Sharp, pronounced boundaries are easier to step across, while fuzzy boundaries or vague, dim perceptions are trickier. Other senses produce whitespace too, though often don't create much of a zone unless they're an area-surveying tool like echolocation or something. Psychic observation tends to produce big globes of whitespace which Lily can sense and ''hates | Individual steps do not require much effort, but stepping quickly many times in succession gets tiring pretty quickly, especially if a lot of distance is involved.

Other senses produce whitespace too, though often don't create much of a zone unless they're an area-surveying tool like echolocation or something. Psychic observation tends to produce big globes of whitespace which Lily can sense (and ''hates,'' because it means there's nowhere she can duck out of sight). Electronic observation produces whitespace only if a person is actively watching the feed; recordings tend to glitch out for a few seconds before and after the step. | ||
While mostly just static and noise, the glitches occasionally get a bit...creepy, especially if Lily steps multiple times on camera and the artifacts pile up. And while usually the only sign of her stepping is a flicker of movement in the corner of one's eye, some people - especially psychics, for some reason - seem to find it particularly unsettling, occasionally glimpsing something monstrous at the moment of translocation. Lily claims not to know what the deal with this is, attributing it to just kind of being a creepy power. | While mostly just static and noise, the glitches occasionally get a bit...creepy, especially if Lily steps multiple times on camera and the artifacts pile up.
