The Televisioling remains stationary, finding other sentient Borderlings nearby. It produces a signal that only Borderlings would understand. After speaking to the other Borderlings about its message, it gives them a choice to accept or decline. After the Borderling accepts its invitation, the Televisioling will interrupt the TV station's signal. It broadcasts almost anything upon the other Borderling's requests. Strange warning messages, noises, or imagery will appear on air.
When not taking requests, the Televisioling picks up random noises from non-sentient Borderlings.
If a Witness is nearby, it changes its frequencies. To the Witness, the Televisioling had suddenly disappeared.
An impure Televisioling doesn't produce signals as well as their healthier counterparts. Sent messages are broken and distorted, making communication with the human world almost impossible.
The Televisioling's broadcast interruptions vary from subtle glitches to clear images. The length of its effects on television signals varies from a few seconds to a few minutes.
A Witness will see distorted faces and strange noises when their television is turned on. Visual and auditory glitches are the first sign of a Televisioling occurrence. Objects on TV will stutter, melt, speed up or slow down. Bizarre faces will appear on their screens. Growls and whispers will replace silence.
Some Witnesses will get inspirations from watching these strange signals on television and create videos varying from Alternative Reality Games, advertisements, and shows.
