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?

How do I turn this thing off?
Voice.
He is so very distracted by his sweet Ana fluttering about in his mind.]
I cannot find much to regret in my life, if it meant leading me to my dearest. I found I had not known true happiness before I had met her... If I may be so sentimental. [He gives a little smile.] I suspect I'll be quite homesick.
Voice.
[She notices that he didn't seem to pay much attention to the more odd parts of her speech. She definitely wants to know more about this guy.]
Voice.
Because that would be weird. Yes, very weird. Clearly he misheard.]
Fortunately not; I would not want her taken into such a situation.
Home is a much better option, though I'm not excited to be without her.
Voice.
Voice.
... Has it been relatively safe altogether?
Voice.
[... she's very pointedly ignoring the question about safety. Good thing her other answer has a lot to take in!]
Voice.
A... magus?
Voice.
Voice.
[INTERNAL SCREAMING.]
What sort of, um. Wizarding... does he do?
[Not for the first time, he feels like maybe he's actually just on a drug trip from the tranquilizers.]
Voice.
[she's helping.]
Voice.
Did you say she.
Yes, you did.
.... Interesting.
WELL, far be it for him to judge anyone's love life! As long as one is happy and healthy, it should be of no concern. He clears his throat.
... And is then struck by the realization of the other stuff they're talking about.]
I beg your pardon?
[DID YOU SAY MOON....]
Voice.
[She sounds quite amused.]
Voice.
Oh, yes, surely I must not have. You said something about ruling the moon.
[And that you're a spirit but you know that could be just metaphorical and whatnot!
As surely that moon thing must be.]
Voice.
Voice.
[Jarvis turns away from the screen, rubbing his chin, troubled.
Muttering :]
... Have I suffered a stroke?
video
Oh, I don't know. You are talking to a spirit, after all.
video
I must have surely suffered a stroke.
I'm hallucinating conversations about moonpeople and ghosts.

[He's mumbling and lost, thank you.]
Low level...?
[Someone save me.]
video
video
This is all a lot to digest.
[Surely I'm being teased now.]
video
Well, it's not a big deal.
video
Please excuse me, I'll need a moment.
[HE'S JUST GONNA... SIT DOWN FOR A MOMENT.
PERHAPS MAKE HIM A CUP OF SOMETHING STRONG.]
video
[NOTHING IS WEIRD ABOUT THIS AT ALL.]
