This room has a door, and the door is securely locked. By a lot of locks, actually. More locks than any sane person puts on a door, spanning the whole right edge, with a few scattered along the top, even on the hinge side. Most of them have simple knobs to turn; a few dangling security chains are clipped in place, and one or two can only be opened by a key. Of course, lucky you, these are all on your side, meaning you’re not trapped here. Right?

Except, locks are meant to keep things out. Slowly, certainly, the knobs are starting to turn, as whoever-- or whatever-- is on the other side of the door makes their way in.

[Unhurried, domestic sounds can be heard in the background of this post; running water, the occasional clink of dishes or clatter of a pan being set on a burner.]

Mindy, I hope you've gotten all your weekend's work done already, I don't want to have to sit up halfway until dawn going over homework with you again.

Robert, were you going to pick up a movie on the way home? For after dinner.

[Dinner which, she does not need to mention, is nearly ready. There's a pause, and when she speaks again it's a little louder, since this is more relevant to the general public, but really it's easiest to get everything done at once.]

Are there any reliable, qualified babysitters looking for work?

[ooc; action for her family~ >3 also please forgive slow/sporadic tagging, ilu all ;__;]

If I lived anywhere else I'd assume I'd been robbed. As it is, a curse seems likely. I can only hope everything will be back tomorrow. At least they had the decency to leave the cat's things alone.
