IC spying is a little trickier, but typically I consider it a form of social interaction. That means there's really no retribution to apply besides talking to them or, if at an event, the event's IC security. An RP event usually has some rules, and while all they can do to a person who doesn't follow them is complain OOCly and tell people to ignore the rule-breaker, most people seem to play nice in that regard. While L'yhta is thoroughly oblivious, in other games, I've gone right up to the spy/stalker and engaged them in RP. Sometimes they run off, sometimes they tell me OOC that they thought my character was interesting and they were just listening OOC, and sometimes they RP the situation. It's hard to tell why a person is keeping an eye on you without asking them IC or OOC.
In Mysterium, we have a rule about auto-consenting to the reasonable declared defensive mechanisms of a character's "sanctum," which typically refers to private locations of their creation and under their control such as FC house rooms. So, if someone follows you around and spies on you out in public, that's an IC social interaction (assuming they don't hide themselves by, say, using magic on you) for which there can be IC social responses. However, if they were to follow you into your house, where you've stated you have guards, magitek locks, and a magitek cannon set to fire on unauthorized visitors (for example), they automatically consent to those guards booting them out, the lock keeping them out, or the cannon giving them an extremely bad day.
