Sitting Where You Shouldn't: Barrier Wards
Bathroomus Escortus
Incantation
You entered the small room.
You closed the door.
How dare you.
I must supervise.
I AM WATCHING.
- Crime
- Follows you to the bathroom and stares through the door.
- Casting time
- Every single time you go
- Mana cost
- 1 open door, 2 huge staring eyes, and 0 privacy allowed
Witnesses report the following: our tiny wizard cat, sitting and staring intensely at a human through the open bathroom door. Casting time: every single time you go.
You closed the door. Rude. A small paw appears underneath it, then a small eye. The mana bill arrives right on schedule: 1 open door, 2 huge staring eyes, and 0 privacy allowed.
Then they wash one paw, very slowly, as if nothing happened at all.
Counter-spell
1. Return a slow blink; many cats seem to find it reassuring.
2. Let your cat start contact and choose how close to be.
3. Offer chin and cheek scratches, which most cats enjoy.
4. Keep a calm, predictable routine; it builds trust.
