[Accidental Voice Post]

--found these this morning, in the front room.

[There is the faint, yet sudden sound of a heavy metal instrumental solo near the microphone, followed by a sharp click! and silence as the Walkman shuts off. A moment later, there is a rustle of paper.]

It seems you've acquired a half-dozen secret admirers. Congratulations.

Are you two alright? Neither of you are hurt, are you? Was anything stolen?

[prefers_chess]

[Wait what. Why is there a voice spontaneously coming out of his--oh. It was recording. Grrr.]

Nothing but the sanctity of our residence. Was it you?

[ms_marycontrary]

Am I so suspicious?

[prefers_chess]

No one is above suspicion.

You're after Mike, aren't you.

[adamantined]

You need an adult.

[prefers_chess]

Those were Mike's words, not mine.

[adamantined]

I got that. Even without knowing who's who by the sound of a voice alone, I'm pretty sure you're the only one in this situation who'd say the security's been breached.

[prefers_chess]

Which is, in this instance, an accurate description.

[child_radical]

[What was that, did he just hear the magical words of breached security?]

[prefers_chess]

[Say something. Anything. He dares you.]

[child_radical]

I told you so.

[prefers_chess]

So you admit responsibility.

[justasystem]

- Are you alright?!

[prefers_chess]

Everyone here is entirely unharmed. The intruder merely left notes.

[justasystem]

That's... a little creepy...

[prefers_chess]

Hence the label of psycho. But an investigation is well under way.

Has anybody bothered you today?

[ This girl loves from the shadows. Secret identity, secret love, the pieces fit together. ]

[prefers_chess]

[Madam, you are crazy. Crazy.

...But man, does he want to know how you did it.]
