CHIRP

[birdical]

The first time someone nicked her cooking, Elleru assumed it was an honest mistake. It was a small dish of spicy stew she was saving for Kieran with a small note attached to the lid:

Do Not Take ☺

Clearly, she hadn't labeled her dish with the proper upright terms when she'd put the container in the fridge. After all, and it was an appliance used by the community of Anchor as a whole. Someone must have been very hungry and desperate, and hopefully, they'd enjoyed the meal. She made a concentrated effort the next time she cooked, leaving the stew with an altered note:

Please Do Not Take ☺

Unfortunately, that didn't seem to deter someone from taking her dish again, this time leaving the bowl right on the counter. The rest of the kitchen was a mess, of course, but the fact that her bowl -- and the note -- was in plain view made her consider that, perhaps, this was not someone mistakingly taking her food. They had done this on purpose.

And so, a few nights later, she places one more dish in the fridge:

Please Do Not Take. I will know who you are. ☺

And with that, she leaves the dish on the middle shelf, everything else pushed to the side so it is the most accessible bowl there. She then unscrews the lightbulbs in the kitchen, and waits in the darkened corner for the thief to arrive. She's seen scenes like this a dozen times in her books, crooks entrapped by a clever protagonist, forced to own up to their crimes. She did warn in her note she'd know who did it, after all -- she intends to make true her word, even if she has to catch them in the act.]
