[The Item wasn't on the desk's edge this time. No, he kept it close by, on an easel. An easel that he bumped, causing the Item to fall, and click on Video. He's not painting, but the Item has a clear view of his most recent portrait, along with quite a few others.]
[Next to that, mostly out of view...]
[There are smaller canvases nearby. Trip being chased by a
Sehlat; Beatty attempting to burn down the library; a cloud of undead locusts. Ted has been busy in the past few days. The video ends when Ted finally notices the Item on the floor. With a mumble under his breath that sounds suspiciously like "Oh hell, not again", the video feed is abruptly cut off.]
