The Nightly Routine of the Roommates

It's almost 8PM again, and Roberto and Kieran quickly dropped whatever they were doing and rushed to the living room of the apartment they share to get ready to catch their favourite show. However, their routines haven't always been like that, until recently. In fact, while the two have been sharing the apartment for close to two years, the roommates didn't really hang out together much and weren't really close friends in any way, mostly no more than just cordial co-renters. 

That is until about a month ago when Roberto bought this interactive TV box from a second-hand store. Once he had hooked it up in their living room, he decided to test it out and Kieran came in to check out the new gadget as well. Once the device was turned on, a low static hum came on from the speakers and then followed by some seemingly random flashes on the screen. The roommates were immediately stunned by the effects before they could realize what happened. The next thing they knew was they came to again with a start, and they noticed the screen was dark. Their heads were also throbbing and buzzing, so they went to bed right away and crashed in exhaustion.

The next evening, at 8PM sharp, both roommates instinctively made their way into the living room couch. As soon as Roberto turned on the media device, the static noise and flashes on the screen filled the room again and both guys fell into a trance immediately. With their instructions already ingrained into their minds the night before, the two acted like automatons, grabbing each other's feet and began worshiping them in earnest. Unbeknownst to Roberto and Kieran, the TV box has a built-in webcam that broadcast their scene onto the network of subscribers. For two hours every night, the two roommates performed for their anonymous audience, sniffing, kissing and slobbering all over each other's sweaty socks and feet sensually and without pause. At the end of their two-hour broadcast, the device would shut itself down, and they guys would come out of their trance, waking up not remembering anything of it. They would think that they have spent the last two hours watching a new show that liked a lot, though they could never remember any details about it. They also make a mental note to themselves that they'll need to be home by 8PM every night to not miss out on the episodes. The roommates stretched a bit, said their good night and went back to their regular separate lives in the apartment. They would never realize that they are actually the new show being watched all over the world...
