Who: Winn Schott and you
Broadcast: Video
Action: Tourist
When: Friday
[ there's something off about winn when the feed turns on. something different from all his other broadcasts. it may take a second to spot it but once you realize what it is it becomes glaringly obvious: there's not a hint of happiness anywhere on his face. his eyes, his lips, his nose, it looks like every last bit of joy has been drained from his features, so even when his lips do stretch lightly upwards, despite his dry eyes it feels more like watching him sob than seeing him smile. ]
Margaery's gone home. [ he has no way of knowing that. she could have been kidnapped to another world, one where she would have no protective big brother to introduce her to superheroes and feminism, to embroider with her and teach her science. but he chooses to hang onto that thought, to believe that she's gone back to the family he knows she so desperately missed despite never letting her pain show. he clears his throat. ] If any of her friends wanna come by for a toast and some stories, I'll be on the Tourist all day.
[ he has been on the tourist since he realized she disappeared, curled up in his bed, shut down. this is the most he's said since, and it feels almost like an outer body experience. he clears his throat again, and nods at the camera before killing the feed. ]

Action.
Movies really are wonderful, aren't they? A lovely escape, if not too easy to relate to at times. Have you seen The Wizard of Oz? I was spellbound the entire film!
Action.
I gotta admit though, my movie memories have been kind of fuzzy since I got here. [ and you have no idea how upsetting it is for him. ]
Action.
I hope we can rectify this; perhaps someone will have movies, sooner or later. The Atroma seem to sometimes send things at the most peculiar times.
Action.
[ him? bitter? what ever gave you that idea! ]
There are some, on the network and in the theater.
Action.
I would love to track these down, though. And see the theater! I suppose I've been so busy since the raid, I've been particularly bad at putting some time aside...
Action.
[ though that might be a winn specific issue. he does say it fondly, though. he loves how much jim cares. ]
Action.
You'll have to introduce me to your futuristic movie collection sometime, then!
It would be quite novel to see how far film has come.
Action.
[ everyone but him is probably sick of seeing the princess bride by now but after how sad he's been? he's got a feeling they'll all agree to a rewatch all the same. ]
Action.
Action.
In that case I'm sure everyone'll be up for it.
Action.
Name the time and the place and we'll all be cordially invited to dessert before dinner.
[He's a smoother operator than he's credited, to be sure.
Just look at the boss he has to negotiate with.]
Action.
[ look, winn doesn't know howard, but he knows peggy. and much as he likes her (it's a lot, okay, a whole lot) he knows she can be challenging so jarvis gets mad props there already. ]
Maybe tomorrow night. [ he can't keep wallowing forever, but he's not really feeling up to socializing and joking that much today. ]
Action.
[He places a completed cup of coffee down in front of the young man.
A magician clearly. Did anyone even see him pour it.]
Energize, shower if needed, let's not spend too much of the day planning the next, or we'll lose the time we have to enjoy the perils of space. To the laundry with me, Mr. Schott.
[WOOSH. Gone, like a bat in the night. Zipping off to chores.
Good lad, good lad, out of bed you go.]
