video.

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?

What do they have to gain from kidnapping any of us?

[ Not really as if a kid from an apocalypse will offer them much expertise. Unless they suddenly want to learn how to wield firearms that aren't of the laser persuasion. ]

People take what they don't have. Maybe we're some weird collection.

[ Not a much better prospect!!!\ ]

Or whatever the alien equivalent of a zoo is where they also give you money.

Maybe it is, but we're here, aren't we?

It's kind of like that really old movie. Planet of the Apes. [ Sorry, Jarvis, that's a little after your time. |8 ]

Planet of the Apes.

My dad used to watch it sometimes. A scientist finds a planet ruled by apes and they kept humans as pets or experiments.

I mean yeah, if something like that is happening. I don't think I've seen the so-called hosts, either.

Sounds good. I'll let you know if it's something else weird.

[ He nods, offering a smile. ] Carl Grimes. Nice to meet you, too.
