Who: Mr. Jarvis and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: Today!
[The video begins with a fellow in a well-pressed suit and a carefully adjusted tie, all befitting someone who puts the most care into looking a well-kept part in society. His poor hair could do with some pomade - it hangs a bit, droops like a wilted leaf on his forehead, but otherwise he's made sure to keep his dignity in the wake of this... horrible event. He's been clearly kidnapped. Kidnapped! He prays Miss Carter is safe somewhere; the last thing he remembers is being hit with a tranquilizer, but he can't seem to remember if it had been a terribly dangerous affair. Didn't they have the assailant in their trunk? Oh, what a beast the man had been. He will attempt to keep his composure regardless. It's his job.]
While I appreciate that you've let me keep my reading glasses, I'm afraid I won't be broken in by such... backwards methods. Whoever you are and wherever you have... taken me, I can assure you that you've chosen a terrible person to kidnap and that kindness will earn you nothing of use. I'm just the butler; a chauffeur, and I'll have little to offer you, unless you would like to learn how to properly fold any and all manner of clothing.
... Or how to properly prepare a dining table.
[I imagine nothing of that sort will interest you, you're probably all thuggish barbarians.]
If you think you'll get anything at all from me otherwise — well!
[He folds his arms, and though he's concerned for his health in the future (god please don't murder me whoever you people are), he is doing his best impression of an impassive, dry-witted butler. As always. He doesn't sell it perfectly, but at least he's selling it, and that's what matters. Look how tough and unbreakable I am. Can't hurt a butler when he's down.]
You're sorely mistaken.

[........ brb fumbling now]
How do I turn this thing off?

[ Steve got off lucky falling asleep for 70 years. ] You could say that.

I will do you the respect of not asking what had happened - I imagine it has been a trying time for you as well. Why Winter, may I ask? A codename here you've grown fond of?

[ He skims over the larger details, partly because he'll either hear them from someone else or learn them later on. They're not particularly important to that last bit of information. He can't feel inclined to share his life story with a stranger when he doesn't trust it to his closest friends. ]

Well. I'm glad that you're here with us now, Mr. Winter; everyone would much rather you be here with them than the alternative. I hope Mr. Rogers and Miss Carter have been helping you settle after such a trying time?
video;;
Heard that once or twice since getting here.
video;;
Have you been doing well here? If you need anything at all, feel free to let me know. I'm quite fond of Miss Carter and her cohorts, you see.
video;;
[ Yes, Peggy is very good. ]
video;;
[FOR EXAMPLE-!!]
After all, it doesn't hurt to practice good eating. And I find the ability to remove any stain from clothing imperative, especially given our circumstances here where there is little to be offered. With my master unavailable, I'm certain I'll be dreadfully bored in no time.
video;;
[ If not, there's always bothering the network or henning after Peggy and Steve. ]
video;;
Take care Mr. Barnes, and don't lose track of my offer for help if needed.
[He'll keep a watchful eye out for you and learn more off the comms, mister.]
video;;
[ He pauses, waiting for Jarvis to give him a name or something to work off of. Were this not in the fleet, not asking for his name right off the bat would have been careless. ]
video;;
A pleasure to make your acquaintance.
[hope this isnt awkward bro]

[ Lol, bye Felicia. ]
