Sss, sss, sss. Get real! What kind of talking box has arms and legs?

[aceassistant]

I'm not one to judge talking boxes!

[cardboard_journalism]

Sss, sss, sss. When it comes to cardboard boxes, I only settle for the best.

Anyway! Yes, it's me in here. Myriam Scuttlebutt, ace reporter! This is my cover. My camouflage. How I become one with the shadows. Ommm...

[aceassistant]

Reporters really got it rough now, don't they?

[cardboard_journalism]

Sss, sss, sss! Hey, what do you mean by that? Being a reporter is great!

[aceassistant]

Oh! Because you get to carry a camera with you everywhere, right?

[cardboard_journalism]

Sss, sss! That's one of many reasons! Speaking of which...

"Innocent girl, frozen with fear! Victim of mass conspiracy!"

Sss, sss, sss. More fodder for the article. Hey, you ARE innocent, right?

[aceassistant]

Well, I haven't committed any serious crimes even if I've been framed enough to make up for it, I guess.

[cardboard_journalism]

Sss, sss, sss. Good enough for me. Though, how many times are we talking about, here?

[aceassistant]

Enough to say hi to the friendly security guard on a first name basis!

Sss, sss, sss, sss, sss... Wow, you sound like bad luck.
