The bane of work from home, just remember to mute your phone. If you handle these well you’ll zoom to the top, if you’re seen as a slacker you’ll be a big flop. Start with a Roman six, followed by the first US state. Next is a teen drama from early this century, then a preposition that makes your lights shine. Now an elven guard from Peter Jackson’s Hobbit movies and finish with a big consumer electronics show.

What do you call a toxic, hyperactive listening device?

I float to faraway lands carrying people and freight. I am filled with gas but don't deflate.

I cradle warmth in my gentle curve, a dancer in a porcelain sea, stirring tales from broth to brew, yet silent as I serve.

Red and small I burn if you fan me you see me grow before your eyes. I can be brushed away after the flames glow. I have no flame, but I still carry the burn. What am I?
