Though I haven't used it yet, I put together an overlay for drawing streams. I also realized I may not always be up for wanting to talk, or want to stress myself over if anyone's in chat to begin with. But I didn't want The Monitor to just sit there silently.
Then I realized something.
I can just have the intern* handle the drawing while she listens to music. (It's also an excuse to draw a less-terrible looking tablet for my model.)
