What do you mean the doormat bit you?
@catsalad You can't fool me; this is a mimic with poor opsec.

@jsled @catsalad
"mimic with poor opsec" is not a phrase I ever expected to see. πŸ˜†

Making me think now of a Operations Security Manual for Dungeon Monsters, 5th Ed. Department of Dungeon Health and Safety (DDHS) or something.

@catsalad

Staring into the void is one thing (and it will happily stare back). Treading on the void is another matter: Serious injury or death can result from this. (Thank you for observing all safety precautions.)

@catsalad you have passed your perception check and spotted the mimic

@catsalad

He who fights with a _Doormat_ must take care lest he become a _Doormat_.

And when you gaze long into a _Doormat_ the _Doormat_ also gazes into you.

@catsalad @cstross had that problem with a wool fleece once…
@catsalad I accidentally sat on my black cat today. She was not amused, but c'mon she's basically invisible in the dark.
@catsalad My big sister had a bag that apparently bit someone. I only remember it had a metal bit.
@catsalad The void starts to stare back …
@catsalad don't let the doormat bite you on the way out
@catsalad
NEXT: A Russian blue against a BSOD screen.
@catsalad The eyes better be made of Glow-in-the-Dark materials πŸ™„
