Protection spell?

[KaidaPyralis]

I am a first year at uni, in halls, and like all first years my friends and I have noticed that our food tends to wander off out the fridge. Anyone know a nice simple protection spell? So far all that I've had suggested is putting laxatives in it to find out who's doing it...

Thanks,

Kaida

My science teacher back when I was young labeled her stuff with the following formula:

HI + HOAg

(Yes, that's High, Ho, Silver!)

I'd go with the laxatives...lol.Practical magick and no mistake.Lol again. They certainly wouldn't want to take your food again!

As someone who lived in dorms once, I can tell you that no strength of protection spell will ward off hungry teens/college kids. I'd be a bit wary of laxatives, because some people have such terrible reactions to them it can give them severe heart palpitations (from the dehydration and electrolyte imbalance). Put the food in a deceptive container that's way too much effort to open (for instance, in a small cardboard box, taped shut, and labeled "For BIO 205: Microbial Life"). No college kid jonesing for pizza is going to bother un-taping a box that doesn't even appear to have food in it. A simpler way to do this is to just put the food in a plastic grocery bag and tie it shut. Maybe the intrigue will get to someone, but odds are, if they can't see what's in the bag, it's not going to be worth it.

You could also try leaving ONE attractive looking meal with some very hot peppers in it. I mean, really pile it on. Again, it does have some health issues, but to my knowledge unless you REALLY overdo it, it will be a lesson learned rather than a trip to the hospital.

The only health issue I've heard about (save mild chemical burns) was when a guy ate *straight* Dave's Insanity Sauce and accidentally snorted some up his nose. It started a sinus bleed, and his eyes bled. He did get over it, though, and he still makes his own (VERY HOT) sauces... including one I'd really love to send to Eretik... called "Piss of Wotan".

But he's not going to eat a heaping teaspoon of Daves Insanity on a triscut while on the inhale. Ever. Again.

I dunno, Eretik... you just strike me as the sort who enjoys the heat.

I know a 'no entry' spell which definitely works.... oh, but you need the person's name

I prefer laxatives for male relatives who don't put the toilet seat down. You just have to make sure the seat is up when they need it.

In this case, you want the peppers. May I suggest scrambling three eggs with a little cheddar and about ten habeneros? The little yellow buggers blend right in.

Another solution might be to hit some major retailer and get a little dorm fridge. They hold about a six-pack's worth of food, but if you're in college, you probably don't have a huge fridge full anyways. There might be a way to rig a lunch box with a padlock, too.

Still further, you could write creepy messages all over your containers. Or... Well, I'll stick with creepy. Creepy covers a lot.
