Let's head this off. Amongst its other definitions, "Privy" is a slightly archaic English word for a public bathroom.
Let's cover this too: Konsi is a trickery domain cleric - the level 4 trickery domain spells are polymorph and dimension door.
Konsi, asking her to become a bunnygirl on your first date is VERY forward.
The "nobody ever uses the bathroom in fiction unless something is sus" trope popped up in a Trail of Cthulhu campaign I ran back in high school. One of the PCs realized in a moment of Mythos-inflicted hysteria that he hadn't used the bathroom in 9 months, which led to him slowly realizing that he was in an episodic work of fiction and would stop existing when the story was over

@Afterpants It led to some very chaotic behavior from that character since
Player was mature rper who valued the experience of the other people at the table and very much wanted to see how everything tied together
Character was suddenly very aware that if the story ended, he would stop existing.
Player decided that the character's moment of gnosis also allowed him to possess his irl body while in-character
I've had one RPG character discover the existence of "the players" in a game before. It's very fun, and weird.
My friend is running a campaign where a recurring character, a merchant and one of the many gods, the God of perception, is highly aware of the DM and the Players. Since its run over discord there's spaces of time where it's just my friend talking to herself in different voices
