The Big Sleep

Finding someone who has never breathed in a spore in their entire life is about as likely as finding someone who doesn't know in the pit of their heart that there is something fundamentally wrong with this world. Everyday the masses of humanity reject the very existence of a dying planet, a wounded society, and the bastards twisting the knife in both. They cling to whatever thin film of "truth" lets them keep on keeping on, buying jeans and eating shitty fast food. They will do this even as forests are torn up around them, as they can barely feed themselves, or even as a fungal behemoth tears through their wall.

In short, people are stupid.

"The Big Sleep," as Sporebound have grown to call it, is humanity's ability to reject what is in front of their eyes. Most of humanity has, at some point, breathed in spores and rejected the fight between the Blight and the Mycos. In order to fortify that rejection, they will justify and ignore even the most blatant of supernatural displays. That wasn't a monster, it was a wild animal. That person bringing down a wall wasn't supernatural, the wall must have been rotten beforehand. That isn't three tons of toxic mold spewing into our stream, that's just companies being companies!

I say it again: people. are. stupid.

Now before you use this as carte blanche to roll down the street like a typhoon, there's a bit of a problem relying on this overmuch. Namely, there is a fine line between ignorance and malicious incompetence. The more people have to excuse away the supernatural, the more we back them into a corner and force a choice: join the Mycos, or reject the Mycos and become easy prey for the Blight. A vast majority of people will continue to reject what's in front of them, disconnect further from reality, and turn inward. That lack of empathy is the soil in which the Blight takes root.

Also, while your blatant use of powers is unlikely to wind up on the news, you can bet that the Blight will find out.
