"We do have the advantage of knowing when muster drills are. Having someone around to help answer questions after the faceless dame does her speech, that's definitely something that can happen."

The rest, well.

"So, how do you recognize an illusion, Mr. Pleasant?"

"You throw a rock at it."

Haha! Gottem.

"Or, you learn to feel for them. Even without magic, anyone can feel the difference in air density and flow. A crowd of people takes up space in a way illusions do not. Sometimes, they'll have tells. Reflections, for example, might act like the person they reflect, but it's a hollow replica. Sometimes they'll have watches on the wrong wrist or reversed logos on their shirts..."

There aren't reflections around here exactly, but the idea is there. "Generally speaking, an illusion will sit wrong with you. You might not realize why at first, but with practice, it becomes easier to notice."
