 		This is my day off, damn it. I'm supposed to be playing Pokemon Stadium and Majora's Mask right now.

 		Whoa, Draven. Was that all out of the hex editor coding magic you did?

Beyond it being a mishmash of Roman numerals and Arabic numbers, I got nothin'.

What the hell does any of this have to do with charades, though?

EDIT:
And after playing around for like two hours, I did something that may or may not help someone whose brain is less sore than mine move a little bit further forward. Or I may have just made things even worse. I don't know yet. Also, I apologize for the spoiler box of epic proportions. Haha.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Every grouping is in triplets; one upper-case Roman numeral, an Arabic number, and a lower-case Roman numeral. So what I did was go line by line, "word" by "word", and triplet by triplet and convert everything to purely Arabic numbers. Because for some reason that makes sense in my mind.
Anyways, every other line of code is bolded for convenience's sake, and each word is on its own line with the Arabic-conversion-triplets underneath. Have fun.

 		Hadn't noticed the grouping just yet. Good eye.

And yeah, the whole thing was a text file hidden inside a ZIP archive which itself was hidden at the end of the image.

I'll work some more on cracking the damned code when I get back.

 		A quick check on Wikipedia tells me that the word charades "was originally also used to indicate a riddle either in verse or prose, of which the listener must guess the meaning, often given syllable by syllable." I wonder if that might be closer to the intruder's meaning.
Also, when you group the numbers like that, it reminds me of an outline or a citation or something.

 		Excellent work on that, Draven! I'll try & catch you online later & maybe we can puzzle this out in real-time. =D

That actually makes quite a bit of sense, Lewa. Still leaves me stumped as to how to solve it, though. Haha. I thought it might be a standard cypher, but so few of the triplets repeat often enough for it to be solved like that. I am eternally frustrated. (To illustrate that, I have that layout saved in a document titled "OoSfuckingstupidcode". I'm not bitter.)
As for the way I laid things out, that was solely to keep myself from getting confused. Any semblance to an outline is purely coincidental, I'm sure. >_>

No, I mean how in an outline, your main sections could be headed by capital Roman numerals, then with numbers on the divisions of those, and then lowercase Roman numerals on the divisions of those. I think usually letters are used for outlines, though.

 		Ah, I gotcha, I gotcha.

Anyone made any progress with this? I'm completely at a loss.

And again, charades -- what?

The deciphered text will probably be a series of clues.

 		I think it must be line-word-letter. If the first number was document or page, then I don't see how two more numbers could narrow it down to a letter.
If the charades thing is supposed to be a clue, maybe we ought to be looking at something that relates to charades? Has anybody compiled a list of the songs Rivers has put up?

The last number might just denote a word (as in page-line-word or document-line-word), which would make for a longer message.

Maybe, but then the spacing of triplets makes less sense.

Spaces could indicate end of sentence, or a line break?

There are periods, too. Those could be to mislead us, though.
