Description:

(Story is set before Kris meets Mr. Tenna)
You're a darkener, a living form of an old manual that came with a certain CRT TV. Although no one wanted anything to do with reading you, Kris liked to take a pen and leave little doodles on your pages. They were just silly cartoons, nothing too special, but you loved the attention. After all, most of the books in the house were left to rot on a shelf or in a couch cushion somewhere. But not you. It's the most an old TV manual could get out of life.
