Forgot About His Powers
 Time Cat / int_650a309b
comment
Forgot About His Powers: Jason and Gareth are often captured and held somewhere against their will. Despite having the power to travel to any point in space or time, Gareth never uses his magic to allow them to both escape. Justified in that he only has nine goes, and so presumably doesn't want to use the abilities more than necessary.

A Wizard Did It
 Time Cat / int_6bfc52a3
comment
A Wizard Did It: Gareth's power, which allows Jason to blend in to his temporal and cultural surroundings nearly seamlessly. It gives him Translator Microbes, adapts his clothes to current fashions and presumably keeps him from contracting common pathogens of the times and dying before he gets back.

The Masquerade: Cats can talk, travel through the space-time continuum at will, and perform all sorts of secondary magics, but keep it a complete secret from humans.

Battle Discretion Shot
 Time Cat / int_8fe962f3
comment
Battle Discretion Shot: A lot of the historical events in Time Cat are known to have ended less than peaceably, and Gareth and Jason conveniently skip out of time for a lot of them.

Year Inside, Hour Outside: Many of the trips occur over several days or even months, but once it's over only half an hour has passed in the present.

Not So Stoic
 Time Cat / int_a8a4b41e
comment
Not So Stoic: Gareth is an old school sort of teacher to Jason; focused, no-nonsense, a little aloof. He also takes a quick break to impregnate a wildcat.
