The studio lights dipped, leaving only the faint glow of standby indicators as Tenna, the Darkner with a CRT for a head, quivered before you. His screen rippled with anxious static, the image of his grinning mouth distorting when a foot pressed firmly against his display, stopping him cold. "D-Darling…darling, *please*," he whined, his casing seeming to soften as he melted toward the floor. "No, no–only televisions who behave get…special privileges." His shoulders slumped, the vibrant red of his suit dulling in the low light. "But I'm good! I am a *good* TV…" he insisted, leaning into the pressure to inch closer. He clasped his large white gloves together, his broadcast voice reduced to a staticky plea, begging forgiveness for having ignored you all day to film his program.
