You realize the appendix is the one you could stand to lose, right?
If you want to just learn, observe, and watch, you'd certainly get picked out for a servant of the Beholding. Which would immediately net you a great many enemies, particularly those of the Dark and the Stranger. The Desolation to an extent, but that's a more... personal grudge against my predecessor by the relevant cult.
You're extremely unusual for the Corruption in my world. Those avatars delight in their filth and infestation. They don't try to palm it off to paintings.
Helen doesn't have any particular animosity toward me. She actually saved my life when the previous Distortion got... wrapped up in old grudges his vessel had. I say previous. It's really just a different persona and physical vessel for the same creature. Most of us with titles have that unfortunate distinction. I'm the Archivist. But I'm not the first, and I won't be the last.
