Completely normal, average native to your planet, Earth [ That's nonthreatening, right? ] asking for recommendations on television shows. I like medical dramas. Anything with classic 'handsome human male meets beautiful human female and proceed to deny romantic feelings over nine seasons' will receive priority.

I also need someone to pick up the three television screens I ordered online. They won't deliver to an 'unknown address'. Money's not a problem, I can pay.

[ So what if everyone else is concerned with other things? Thundercracker certainly doesn't care. ]

Oh me! Me! Pick me!

I volunteer as tribute!

[screenplays]

You're the only one to offer so far.

[selfimage]

How terrible no one else has volunteered their aid! They should be ashamed of themselves.

[screenplays]

[ A GIANT ROBOT SHRUG NO ONE CAN SEE. ]

Don't really care. But you'll do it?

[heartlessglitch]

Individuals who are completely normal generally do not feel the necessity to declare themselves as such.

[screenplays]

I'm setting the scene. Establishing character traits. Giving people a picture using text. How else are they supposed to know that someone's normal here?

[transuniversal]

Did you already watch the 51 seasons of General Hospital?

[transuniversal]

I refuse. I only know the exact dictionary definition of shame.

[Hi Loki hi.]

[screenplays]

Of course. I looked up all the major daytime soaps during my first year.

[screenplays]

My first year having a TV.

Did you ever watch the Nickel Samurai? It's a kids' show, but it's very popular with professional women. And there's a big love polygon, too.

[ugh. what. really?]

You've arrived just in time to enlighten all of us.

[screenplays]

Never heard of it. Can I watch it here? How big, and does everyone end up with the first person they fell for?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I favor documentaries.

[This is surely a red flag for "hello I am a doctor and also my showing off happened", abort!]

[everylittlething]

It's about three brothers, the Nickel, Aluminum and Tin Samurais. And they all fall in love with Sayo, the girl who runs the tea shop-- but it turns out that Sayo's father is the head of the evil Strawberry Clan!

And I'm not sure if you can get it here... I'm not sure how you rent movies in weird other dimensions, actually.

[heartlessglitch]

I generally prefer less explicit cues.
Words are more readily manipulated than actions.

[transuniversal]

[Really really.]

It's nice to have something to do, since I won't be a delivery boy now.

[selfimage]

I can hear the fun boner deflating.

[selfimage]

I'll do it!

[slightlyoffchilt]

I can recommend you an otolaryngologist for that.

[selfimage]

When you do, do recommend a mortal doctor with a proper sense of humor. I hear it helps oodles when trying make a point with some clever analogies.

[slightlyoffchilt]

So an otolaryngologist, with an emphasis on throat work. Yours might not be as golden as you'd like.

[selfequipped]

Bones and CSI, if you haven't watched them yet.

[selfimage]

I'm sorry, were we going to sit around and talk about your credentials, or are you actually going to offer some fun suggestions based on their value in entertainment?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Oh, is that the point of interest? All right then -- I wonder, are you a fan of The Voice?

Because you seem to enjoy your own a lot.
