Just to add to this, Missy Elliott could be the Missing Zuchinni, because the most popular brand of Zuchinni is Black Beauty, and Missy Elliott has an album called Black Beauty. But speaking of Missy Elliott, someone mentioned anagrams of T.S. Eliot being "toilets". How about, with Missy Elliott (two L's and two T's instead of one L and one T in Elliott) being "missyl toilet", meaning "missile toilet". Something was hidden in the toilet on the sixth floor, which causes it to overflow in the animation. Reminded me of M-80's from when I was a young Vandal. That would have come from floor 11. Floor 11 has lots of rockets.
Stuff on floor one from floor eleven. The bowl of cereal stuff on the tea table. The mantel clock on the fireplace. The old newspaper in the foyer. Seems to me the residents could have borrowed material from other apartments to change the appearance of their own. It certainly looks like the mantel clock on floor one was pushed in front of the glass globe that is now half-hidden behind it. So the mantel clock looks like a new addition to the apartment, and it runs slow, like it says in the animation for Floor eleven: Time certainly seemed to pass slowly here".
Other items on floor one might have come from floor eleven. In any case, Travis himself must have visited floor 11 and retrieved the items himself. He may have left the magnifying glass on the box on floor 11 in his rush, or as an oversight.
How could a missing zuchinni become a portrait of Missy Elliott? Maybe the alchemist knows.
