... y-you won't remember this... right..? Um... what do you, uh... really think of me..?

[Soundwave responds physically to Anti by smiling brightly, walking over, and wrapping him up in a big hug.]

Hehe, you wanna know the truth?  I think that you’re a good guy who just wants to make the world a better place.  I really look up to you, you know!  You and the rest of the Bravo Corps are pretty much my idols!

I just hope you’re not scared of me from the time we fought…

You're character has got one free pass to ask my character anything, and they must answer truthfully, and afterwards my character will forget the conversation. How does your character use it?

[cousin-soundwave]

Hi Cadenza! How did you and Soundwave first meet?

||-W-wow.  That’s actually kind of a big question.  I don’t know how I didn’t expect to get this, actually.-||

||-Here’s what my data shows of the reasoning of my existence.  Once Soundwave had left his cousins and home to find his purpose in life, he once became very interested in robotics, and the construction of such.  In turn, he also got pretty interested in AI programs, and how to program them into machines that didn’t normally need them.  It was a weird hobby, I know, but he had a friend over intergalactic web that was a whizkid at it.  They never knew each other, but Soundwave learned a lot from his friend.-||

||-Sound was pretty good at it, but he never made anything as technologically advanced as I am.  He ended up getting bored with making robotics, and decided to try his hand at mixing music as a hobby.  And this is where I come in.-||

||-Soundwave’s internet friend was delighted to hear that he was trying his hand at music, so to help him out, a set of AI-driven headphones were created and shipped to him from a planet named “Earth”.  I was that headset, but I didn’t have nearly the personality I have today.  After getting used to my mainframe and how to operate me, Soundwave decided that music was his passion, and that he was going to create the greatest piece of music in universal history.-||

||-He ended up getting lonely out in space by himself, and his friend asked him to send me back for a surprise.  When I returned, I could think and talk just like any organic being.  And so we made our way across the cosmos, and settled on Earth in hopes of one day meeting Soundwave’s friend (and my creator) in person.-||

||-Soundwave, you need to quit.-||

......no.

||-Listen, I know I'm not your mom, but you seriously need to at least get a few hours of sleep, man.-||

......nuhhhh.  'm a mage.  Lookie, I can turn this guy into a sheep.

||-Sigh.  Whatever.  You'll tucker out eventually.  I need to answer the last ask in the askbox.-||

........okay, I'm just gonna play one more ga-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[cousin-soundwave]

Is there anywhere at all you would really like to see or visit more than other places?

||-I would absolutely love to get to see a black hole up close.  Our spaceship isn’t that strong, so me and Soundwave have to stay as far away from them as possible.-||

||-Other than that, the only place I want to be is somewhere I haven’t been yet.-||

[cousin-soundwave]

[Soundwave's head swirled with this new information, fuzzing his vision with how awful and serious this situation really was.  Not only Anti, but Bravoman himself was also dead.  And who brought about that?  Bravowoman.  His mind lost to worry, Soundwave slowly sat down on the curb of the street, his eyes glued to the pavement.]

[But just as he felt a tear come to his eye in sadness, Anti-Bro said something that shook Soundwave's core even further.  The city was divided.  Humans were on one side.  Presumably everyone else was on the other side.  And the last time Soundwave checked, he wasn't exactly human.  These people didn't want him.  Hell, they didn't even want him on their planet.]

||-Their prejudice towards non-humans will just have to sit and fester, then.  Soundwave here is dead-set on becoming a superhero, and if this city needs them, I don't know anyone better for the job.-||

[Soundwave's ears perked, and his eyes widened, still looking at the pavement.  Could...could he still be able to help, even if he wasn't wanted?]

...I...

[Soundwave slowly stood back up, turning to face Anti-Bro.]

...I know I can help if someone teaches me how to.  I don't care if I'm a "Non" or not.  Without Anti and Bravoman, the city is going to have a crime wave without new help!

So...I-I don't care if the the job is better for someone else.  I'm ready.

Anti-Bro jumped from rooftop to rooftop, keeping an eye on the streets and alleys below him. Ever since Tonfa had formed the team, they'd spent pretty much every waking moment patrolling the city for danger and taking care of petty criminals. He stopped and watched as a strange blue boy walked along the street below. Alfred told him to be wary of people with strange-colored skin. Something about aliens and Anons that could be dangerous. He jumped down and landed beside him, not saying a word.

[It was another pretty nice day outside in Namco City, or so that’s what the weather report had read for today.  They were normally pretty accurate, and seeing that it was a bright sunny day out, this seemed to be no exception.  The sun’s rays reflected off of the chrome parts of Cadenza’s headset, and Soundwave made his way down the street with a smile on his face, and music pumping into his ears.]

[While he was headed towards the Bravo HQ, questions flooded his mind.  How much training does someone need to become a superhero?  Is it really hard?  What if they didn’t want to accept him as part of their team?  A twinge of worry stuck to Soundwave as he pondered these, but a smile never left his face.  He’d find a way, right?  After all, he’d given one of their members a pretty good fi-]

||Be advised!  There is a figure dropping rapidly from a nearby rooftop towards your position!||

[Cadenza’s voice buzzed in his ears through his music, which lowered in volume as she spoke.  These questions would have to wait until another time.  He quickly turned his attention upwards towards the rooftops of the nearby buildings, and sure enough, someone was dropping down quite quickly.  Backstepping, Soundwave readied himself for anything to happen, his eyebrows furrowed a bit in determination.  Namco City was not what you’d call a “predictable” city.  The figure landed in front of him, and Cadenza’s voice chirped at him through her external speakers when the dust cleared.]

||Identify yourself.  Immediately.||  

[cousin-soundwave]

What do you think of Anti-Bravoman's death? Does this change anything for you?

||-…if anything, it’s made me more concerned for Soundwave’s wellbeing.-||

||-He’s hardheaded, and once he gets something in his mind, there’s no going back.  Same goes for this superhero thing he’s trying so hard to get into.  I know he wants to help people, but…listen, I’ve been hearing a lot of anti-nonhuman talk on the radio waves I monitor.-||

||-I don’t think that Soundwave is the hero this city wants.  Not yet-||

[cousin-soundwave]

What's the most embarrassing thing Soundwave's ever done?

||-Luckily, Soundwave isn’t that much of an embarrassing person to be around.  However, there was one time Soundwave crashed our spaceship directly into the middle of an intergalactic shopping mall.-||

||-No one was hurt, because the place was closed.  Explaining to and then subsequently running from the security officers was the embarassing part.-||

[cousin-soundwave]

Is it possible for you to have romantic feelings? Have you ever been interested in someone or something before?

||-My program has hard-encoded a complex personality within myself, so technically I can have romantic feelings for others.  I’m…not exactly certain how, to be honest with you.  Soundwave had met with a modification firm a while ago that tampered with my internal hardware…who were they, Kirijo something-or-another…-||

||-In any case, I’ve never actually had a romantic interest in anyone yet.  I guess I’m probably not the warmest person to cozy up to, heh.-||

[cousin-soundwave]

Hello Cadenza! Do you have a favorite genre of music or a song that you especially like? I know choosing can be difficult, I'm just curious.

||-Ahh, hello, Kaylin.  I assume you’re doing well?-||

||-Actually, yes, I do have a favorite genre of music.  Electronica, drum & bass, and also trance happen to be some of my favorite kinds of music to listen to.  It’s kind of surreal, being an AI listening to music made mostly by AIs.  And I guess that’s kind of why I like it.-||

[cousin-soundwave]

Have you ever wanted to have your own body, like a human or some other living creature? If you had a choice, what kind of being would you like to be?

||-You know, I actually have thought about this.  It would be nice to have a “body”, so to speak, be it organic or synthetic.  Hell, just being programmed into a bipedal robot would be kind of cool, if it meant I got to walk around and actually physically do things,-||

||-Well, I mean, I technically do already, but you know what I mean.  It’d be cool, but I don’t think that my software is compatible with any robots I know…-||

[cousin-soundwave]

||-Hey there, followers.  Cadenza here.  Normally this is the part where Soundwave answers a bunch of questions from you guys, but I cannot for the life of me get him to stop playing Hearthstone.  Kids.-||

||-So, instead, I'll be taking your questions today.  Go on, hit me, I'm in the mood to be chatty today.  Hehe.-||

[cousin-soundwave]

||-...you seriously don't remember the Queen of All Cosmos.  Your aunt.  Really now?-||

Oh, I knew about Aunty, haha!  I've just been hearing a lot of people refer to someone else as a queen around here, too.  I just didn't know if we were under her rule technically, heheh;;... And, uh, technically I am!  I haven't officially started, but I'm gonna start working with the Bravo Corps to take down crime!  Cadenza here can pack a punch if she needs to.

||-Much, much more than a punch if I need to.-||

K-kidnap?!  Really?!

||-Hah, I’d love to see anyone kidnap any of you cousins.  They’d be asking for more trouble than they’d be able to handle.-||

W-well, hopefully we get superhero training before that’s an issue we have to deal with.  

…wait, we have a queen?!

So, uh…we’re calling the Anons “dongers” now?  

Cousins, help me out here.

||-Yes, please, so I can register “dongers” under associated words with Anon.-||
