[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 a point to the question, Soundwave most certainly isn't advertising it; he just keeps on feeding the affectionate ducks.]

...You see it as well.

Your abilities make no sense. Of course, your world never sounded like it made much sense either.

Actually, they make perfect sense. How else do you think I know the words to songs I've never even heard before?

You assume I knew that before now.

Name a song you don't think I know, I'll sing some of it it for you.

Seriously. Any song.

...

I barely know any songs.

Google search something, then.

Or youtube it.

[Long pause.]

What would I even look for?

Look for something hip-hop. I'm not rapping.

...There is a difference between those?

[sigh] Yes and no. Hip-hop is the entire subculture, rap is a small segment of it.

The hip-hop part includes beat-boxing and mixing.

I have no idea what that is.

[rather awkwardly beat-boxes for about fifteen seconds. he's not bad, but not good.] Beat-boxing. Mixing is a little more complicated and I can't exactly explain it.

What is the point of them?

I am not watching American Idol.

That. Does not really explain anything.

The point of beat-boxing is that you can create entire songs using only the sounds you can make.

It's awesome. [this is one time when you will hear him genuinely compliment something. he can't beat-box, but he loves it a lot.]

It is boring.

[this is a long-suffering sigh. you're such a terrible judge of music, Shockwave.]

You just don't appreciate good music, babydoll.

Classical is good music. That is not.

Babydoll, classical is the stuff pianists play when they're trying to impress seventy year old grandmothers. It's not exactly good, we just hear it all the time so we assume it is.

The stuff that isn't classical is so much more interesting.

...Are you calling me old?

No, I'm calling you old-fashioned.

It's a little different.

How am I old-fashioned?

oh ryan. sometimes there is much wondering why you're talked to.

sometimes I wonder why anyone talks to him.

it must be that diseny magic~

why a music question. why.

everything has to do with music.

shockwave sucks at music stuff.

maybe that's why he talks to Ryan.

so that he may one day impress soundwave.

still got a long way to go on that one, shockwave.

/sobs.

/pats

all those millions of years without knowing a single music fact.

poor shockwave.

it is a curse.

the worst kind of curse.

living forever in sileeeence.

that would drive Ryan crazy.

oh come on, silence is golden.

not in musicals!

your musicals are confusing and break the fourth wall.

they're not as confusing as the fifty-million Cybertrons.
