[Learning through television. Shockwave had found television to be an illuminating way to learn about human culture, so when he noticed Blitzwing watching TV and TAKING NOTES he had to go and sit down next to the Triple Changer. See what he was doing.]

"No! ...That is impossible! My father is Esteban!"

"NO! He is .................................... your brother."

"-LOUD DRAMATIC MUSIC-"

[Blinks. Stares. Looks over at Blitzwing.]

...What are you watching?

[Frowns as he starts connecting names with a bunch of lines.]

I think it's supposed to show human culture or something.

[Crosses out a line, writes in Esteban.]

"Esteban? That's impossible!"

"Maria!"

"Maria, my love, what is it?"

"She's my love, FATHER!!"

"-DRAMATIC CHORD-"

"Esteban ... Esteban is ..................... the woman who saved me when I was shipwrecked!!"

"WOMAN?!"

[Blinks. Blinks again. Looks over at Shockwave.]

So he changed genders?

It seems a bit... dramatic.

People don't normally talk like that.

[...Or at least everyone he'd met didn't talk like that.]

"How is that possible?! ... HOW?!"

"Well you see--"

"-CUTS TO COMMERCIALS-"

[More staring. REALLY CONFUSED STARING.]

...

Possibly?

How do the humans follow this? It is rather confusing.

... Maybe we've been missing something?

[Takes the opportunity provided by the commercial break to stare at his notes. They're already confusing. He starts on a new sheet of paper.]

So Geraldo's that guy's ... son? And Esteban's his gender-changing brother.... Which makes Maria--

[He pauses as the show begins again.]

"-We now return to: A Single Potato-"

"How is that possible?! ... HOW?!"

"Well you see--"

"MARIA!!"

"Darian!"

"Maria, you must not marry these men. You will only be playing into his hands!"

"How dare you say such a thing!"

"Romaldo, I know you love Maria, as does your son. But this is not to be!"

"But why? Why, Darian, why?"

"Because I say it won't be."

"DIEGO!!"

[And the new sheet of paper is once again crisscrossed with lines.]

... Maybe they have bigger charts.

SEVERAL HOURS LATER. (tag here if you're joining in!) 10pointsforme August 26 2009, 13:42:31 UTC

[Shockwave and Blitzwing are still sitting and staring at the TV, completely absorbed. No, they have no idea how much time has passed.]

OH LOOK HERE IS A SOUNDWAVE allshock_notalk August 27 2009, 01:51:53 UTC

[Returns with groceries in his arms. Stops. Stares at both Shockwave and Blitzwing.]

...

QUERY. WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING?

[Really, he doesn't even touch the television, except to sneak in the "radio" aspect of it while Starscream isn't around.]

OH HI WAVE BRO notsoloyal August 27 2009, 03:27:54 UTC

[Huh? What was- when did Soundwave get here?]

...Attempting to figure out what is going on in this show.

It appears to be some over exaggerated view on human culture... Or at least I would assume it is over exaggerated, as there is no way this could possibly reflect actual life. It's supposed to be a form of entertainment, however how people find following the lives of a certain set of characters entertaining, is beyond me.

[Says the bot that set up cameras ALL OVER CYBERTRON and watched everyone like a creeper.]

Why they would even make something like this is confusing enough, and it is rather melodramatic... I'm quite certain Blitzwing knows more about what's going on than I do.

SUP GUYS 10pointsforme August 27 2009, 05:00:46 UTC

[Looks up at the sound of his name and blinks at Soundwave in confusion. When did he come back?]

Uh, I think Alonzo's trying to propose to Titanya, but she knows he's been having some sort of relationship with Shalina, who she thinks is her mother but is actually Markus' sister....

[He looks down at the PAGES AND PAGES of notes in front of him (all written in Cybertronian), covered in names and crisscrossed with lines.]

... Or something.
