[A *thump* sound as the phone hits the floor. Immediately a picture is uploaded to the network; Chris' face, half off-screen, tilted at an odd angle with a look of surprise as the phone drops from her hand after she accidentally selfies herself. Behind her is Holly, her familiar, hovering in the air and looking very amused. More shifting sounds as the phone is picked up.]

What the blazes...my upload has been completed? Load of what?

[Audible laughter in the background]
