[Someone who's been missing awhile abruptly seems to have made his return. Sitting outside, Soundwave is surrounded by a few ducks -- ones that people may recognize if they knew Skyfire. Absently, he tosses out bread for them to chase and feed before they come back to nag him for more.]

CURIOUS.
QUERY: WHAT IS YOUR MUSICAL PREFERENCE?

[If there's

[notsoloyal]

What are you doing?

[Doesn't even answer the question. Soundwave should know the answer already.]

[allshock_notalk]

[Oh, he knows Shockwave prefers silence.]

OPERATION: FEEDING DUCKS.
SHOULD BE OBVIOUS.

[notsoloyal]

[Well. Classical is okay sometimes as well.]

That is not what I... Nevermind.

What is the point of your question?

[allshock_notalk]

[That is also true. And he is conscious of that. ... Usually.]

QUERY: THEN WHAT DID YOU MEAN?

[Private/Encrypted]
IT WILL BE EASIER TO PERFORM PUBLIC BRAINWASHING WHEN I AM AWARE OF A MAJORITY'S PREFERENCE.

You already know mine.

ALASTAIR. STATUS?

[voice]

[hackeralastair]

Fine. Long day at work and it's only lunchtime.

Buggin' everybody about music again, huh?

[voice]

[allshock_notalk]

QUERY: YOU WILL BE. ALL RIGHT?

IT HAS BEEN APPROXIMATELY ONE STELLAR-CYCLE SINCE I LAST INQUIRED.
NEW PEOPLE, NEW ANSWERS.

[yayashton]

Depends what day you talk to me on, but without fail it's not rap.

I'm also not horrendously fond of hip-hop.

[voice]

[allshock_notalk]

SIMILAR TASTES, THEN.

[voice]

[yayashton]

I would assume so.

Truth be told, I don't pay attention to what I'm listening to when I listen to music usually because I'm always hearing music.

[voice]

[allshock_notalk]

...ALWAYS?
QUERY: HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

[Voice] /making names/ect up CYBERTRONIAN CLASSICAL ARTIST?

[spacetimeprime]

Maestrox's work, and those of his apprentices.

...though I believe that's a bit before your time.

[Voice] /IDK THAT'S FINE

[allshock_notalk]

BEFORE. HOWEVER.
TIME MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. MUSIC: OFTEN TIMELESS.

[Voice]

[spacetimeprime]

Quite.

These humans certainly have a variety.

[Voice]

[allshock_notalk]

AFFIRMATIVE.
IT IS ONE OF THEIR FEW REDEEMING VALUES.

I am aware of your tastes.
Curiosity.
Query: Why do you continue to speak to me?

[pacifisted]

I'm not. I answered your question. That was all.

[allshock_notalk]

That requires conversing with me.
Which you have done.
You are perfectly capable of ignoring my questions.
