Witch Librarian Game Ideas

Many of the patrons have decided not to obey the rules of the library. Teach them a lesson by casting spells on them and as you can not stand disorder, do it in a promptly manner. But be careful not to bother the ones sticking to the rules or you'll be fired.
Click on the people who are talking, running, or trying to leave without checking out their book. Different sprites for the various people, and a random effect/sprite when you click on a person breaking the rules. (make them a frog, turn them into stone, and so on..)
----
It is a very busy day at the library and you don't even have time to get up from your desk. Process returns and find books people wish to check out without getting up from the desk. There will be several areas of different types of books, when you get a book back, you would click on it and then the proper area. There will also be people asking you for help in finding a book. Scroll over the right area, find the book, click it and then click on the person. There are many people, all impatient Americans, so do your tasks with great speed. Your pay depends on it.
----
You just got a job as a librarian and in order to keep it, you must not let people find out you are a witch. As they enter the building, keep them under a spell so that they will not see your true, hideous form. Your spells only last so long though, so you will need to keep casting it. To make matters worse, after each time a person has the spell put on them, it lasts for shorter and shorter periods of time. More people keep coming in each minute, keep them all entranced until they exit.
Click on a person as they enter and there will be a way to tell how much longer they will be under your spell. As time goes by there will be many people in the library, several of whom have short durations on the spell cast time. There is also a limit to how many spells you can cast in an amount of time, so cast wisely. You can spend some time hiding from people without spells, but eventually people will notice you are not there and start wondering.
----
You work at a particulary run-down library with falling over bookshelves and a leaky roof. Keep the place in order without stepping into a puddle of water or under a drippy part of the roof.
The library would be laid out as a maze, with puddles of water and drippy areas placed about. Books will fall off the shelves or the book shelves themselves may fall over. You have to get to each and fix the problem without stepping in the puddles or under the dripping ceiling. Stepping in a puddle will kill you instantly and the dripping water will take off 10% of your health. There will sometimes be other obstacles in your way just to make life even more difficult. You will be fired if you don't fix the problems soon enough.
Arrow buttons would control movement, space bar replaces a book to the shelf, there is a timer, and a counter for money you have earned.
----
A new rule has been made, all library employees must wear a photo id while working. This poses quite a problem for you as in any picture taken of you, your image would not appear. Now you must convince your boss not to make you get a picture taken. After that, his/her's superiors must be convinced to undo their new rule.
It would be a sort of dialouge game. You would start up a conversation with your boss after avoiding the cameraman. There would be several options for each time you would say a line, each giving a different result. Choose the wrong one and you'll either have to get back in the right track or get your photo taken, revealing your witchy-ness. When you try to convince the superiors to undo the new rule, you must be careful not to offend or bother them or you will lose your job.
Start the conversation, pick a line, they reply, pick the next line to say and so on.
