[Anyone who tries to call the Noir household today will be met by a strange-- but disturbingly familiar, for some-- voice.]

Can I help you, dahlin'?

[Housemates will find a woman, hardly taller than a plastic fork, answering phones and doing assorted chores around the house. She looks exactly like Vince in dress. Vince himself is in the living room,

Yes, I'd like to talk to Vince, if he's in.

If not, I can leave a message.

[numanstan]

He's kinda busy at the moment; I could pencil you in for 3:30, if you'd like.

[is_an_island]

... Busy with what?

He's not gone off and decided to hold a party without inviting me, did he?

[numanstan]

Don't rightly know, dahlin', I'd have to check his schedule!

[is_an_island]

[in a deeper voice]

Oh, hello. Boy... howdy. I'm looking to speak with... Vince.

[numanstan]

... Do I know you?

[hey it's Vince now]

[is_an_island]

Vince! [the thin disguise, dropped!!]

Who picked up the phone earlier? They were claiming to be your brain's secretary or some nonsense like that. I gave her the what-for, of course.

[numanstan]

Dolores? She's brilliant! Dunno if she's tellin' the truth or not, but weirder stuff's happened, yeah? She makes great tea, though, so I ain't complainin'.

[perfectvoice]

[See this face?

This is Miku's "wtf" face. And you bet she's wearing it right now as she walks into the living room.]

Vince-san, who's that...ah, girl? [Because she cannot find any other word for this.]

[numanstan]

Oh, she's my secretary! [this is completely normal]

[perfectvoice]

Secretaries aren't supposed to be that small.

[numanstan]

Brain secretaries are.

[alexanderofny]

Excuse me, I'm calling for Mr... Vince Noir, I understand his name is?

[crazyclownwoman]

.....huh?

UM....Vince?

[numanstan]

He's not in at the moment, dahlin'. Can I take a message?

[crazyclownwoman]

.......Um

Who are you?

[numanstan]

I'm his secretary!
