scanned a page from my sketchbook of a design I had banging around in my head for a while. I've seen these figures off and on in my dreams, and I've started calling them 'the hounds'. They're like stagehands, except reality is the stage. If you look closely enough, you'll see them rearranging the world around you: they replace the leaves to show the seasons changing, they roll in curtains to have the night fall, that car is replaced by a wreck, that person flying through the air is held up by them... I imagine that people who can do magic simply know how to instruct these hounds better than anyone else.

While they may be literal faceless goons, they have individuality like anyone else. For them, this is just a job, and they've been doing it for a long time. Don't try to talk to them - you're part of the act, you're not supposed to break character. Bad things happen when you break character! You're allowed to break the fourth wall, that's fine, but never break character. I suppose someone may become a hound when they die.
