Fears & Dramatics: Theatrical Illusions
Floppus Dramaticus
Incantation
I am weak.
I am fainting.
Only belly rubs can save me.
Quickly, human.
FLOP.
- Crime
- Flops onto the floor dramatically, demanding attention.
- Casting time
- Whenever you walk past without petting
- Mana cost
- 1 dramatic flop, 1 small dust cloud, and an immediate need for belly rubs
Every household has seen it at least once: our tiny wizard cat, flopping dramatically onto its side on the floor with a little dust cloud, demanding pets. Casting time: whenever you walk past without petting.
They faint at your feet like a tiny opera star who needs cheek scratches to recover. The mana bill arrives right on schedule: 1 dramatic flop, 1 small dust cloud, and an immediate need for belly rubs.
Sparkly eyes, zero regret, maximum floof. The spell is complete.
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.
