Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

rB.O.F.G. Bunny Ears
robboBunny's Obstruction Field Generator Bunny Ears v 0.1 (You can't use them to hear... yet.)
The two previously dim yellow lights in Astra's roboBunny ears flicker. The roboBunny ears get covered in a black ichor like substance. They become transparent and watery, glass-like before vanishing completely. Not long after, the black ichor covers the rest of Astra's body, gobbling all of her clothes and belongings from head to toe. The glassy, water like shimmer follows, mimicking the black ichor's advance. Astra then vanishes, her silhouette barely distinguishable in an otherwise empty room.
When the girl moves, her silhouette becomes visible, displaying a shimmery, glassy, watery like depiction of whatever it was displaying to conceal Astra. It changes and realigns to make the snowBunny obscured again, only managing after the movement stops.
When the effect stops, the black ichor becomes visible as it retreats back into the bunny ears.
The ichor cannot be touched and any object or person not covered in it will simply go through and touch Astra.
The 'ichor' is in fact an illusion, hence it's non-physical nature. The bunnyEars create a field that 'washes' over Astra's body, clothes and on-person belongings.
While this effect is active and Astra moves, the resulting distortion is the light bending being readjusted, trying to match the surroundings from all possible angles.
