As their search for the remote has been futile so far, their silhouette goes stiff as they notice... from their peripheral ... and slowly ... turn to watch the TV's volume lower a notch or two. Seemingly all by itself. What? What? Someone has to have the remote, then. They never went outside with it (they didn't go outside today), but that would make sense. Someone's messing with the TV, and they have the remote; they're watching from the window. Obviously.
"Blooky." Hapstablook's looking at the window, the bedroom's door. Growing irritated, and they're using that irritation to mask their underlying nerves.
Their cousin should be coming in any second with the remote in hand, now. Blooky isn't the prankster type, but they had their moments in the past. "It's late, would you just give the remote b—" Hapstablook moved quickly across the room; about to open the door, pillow tucked under their arm (to use as a shield, in case) until—
Their nub is paused, hovering over the doorknob as their gaze turns back to the TV. Their eyes are wider, more alert. That was ... creepy. If they had a heart, it'd be racing right now. The static is intense. This can't be ... Maybe they're just sleep-deprived or something because it seems like this cad of a TV is suddenly... sentient? At this hour? Isn't this like, the witching hour or something? That'd make sense, probably stupid coming from a ghost to think—
They're clutching that pillow. Would it make a difference if they threw the pillow at the TV? They wouldn't wanna break it but what the hell is going on? "Um." Oh god, oh god, oh god. "Blooky?" They still think this is some prank. Their cousins know how much they adore this TV, it'd be a little too mean if they did some kind of prank like ... pretend the TV was really talking to them. "Thank...?"
Snap out of it. This is ridiculous. Yet ... Hapstablook is slowly straying from the door and going back to the TV. Pillow clutched tightly in front of them just in case the TV ... explodes or something, they don't know. "Is this..."
They're able to feel the static from here; there's no other way to describe the energy they feel radiating off of the TV. There's always something with this TV. Since the day they met. A certain presence which most could chalk up to the TV having a strong power source, but to a ghost... Thinking about what those kids said about the TV. They named it. They said it was a good TV, and one of them even referred to it as ... him. "Tenna?" What are they thinking? This is so stupid. They hope to god this isn't a prank, someone could be listening in on them talking to their TV right now (as if they hadn't before).
