Spring-Loaded Grip

That chunky wooden television remote on the armchair looked entirely too smug lying faceup. I climbed the coarse fabric of the chair, hauled myself onto the wide leather armrest, and found an abandoned metal paperclip twisted into a spiral nearby. Perfect modification tool. I grabbed the stiff wire with both hands, hooked one loop into the rubberized volume gap, and leveraged the prong of my sai to clamp it tight around the casing. The plastic clicked under the pressure, but it held firm. Now that flat slab has a rugged steel handle. If anything tries to snatch the controls, it'll have to answer to my rigging first.
