video. sponsor drop... FLAMINGOS EVERYWHERE GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

Who: Jarvis and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Tourist
When: Today!


[Jarvis had just been returning to the SS Tourist after a day of working in the water and at the bar on the Iskaulit — it's clearly the Atroma's doing, some sort of surprise for the butler that must've been quite desired... clearly... He stumbles a bit in the dark, confused, because when is the cargo bay ever dark?]


Hello? Captain??

Mr. Schott?

.... Miss Price? 

[He flicks on the main lighting system at last after a mild curse hitting his knee, and he's horrified by what he sees, as Hotel California plays muffled over the speakers. Not played by anyone on board, of course. But that's not the worst of it... No, the worst of it is that he finds himself... surrounded. By plastic...pink... flamingos.]



Oh... dear god.

... 

[He plucks up a note.]

"To Edwin Jarvis, to help with the homesickness, a kind sponsor has decided to offer an army of your favorite Earth creature..."

[He looks to the left. Flamingos. To the right. Flamingos. There's some sitting in the shuttle seats. There's one wearing one of his ties.

Jarvis wipes a hand across his forehead, looking to the floor in his shock.]


... This is the worst day of my life.

[One of the flamingos tips over and clatters.




DISCONNECTED. 


....

no, no, this is not over!!!



RECONNECTED.]



What in the bloody underworld am I supposed to do with dozens upon dozens of these?!

[hands on HIPS!!!! LECTURING THE ATROMA!!!!]

This is a sour waste of resources!! I would like a recall! Nobody wants your army of — of — hellbirds!

[... Outside of the SS Tourist, they've also peppered the ocean floor around the ship with flamingos, too.]

They do not look very sinister to me.

Then if it were to attempt to attack me, I would set it afire and offer the remains to someone who eats bird.

[listen, it won't work on her, what is fear]

I would not char it, I know better if I am going to offer it as a meal.

[this is a real conversation that is happening]

Is there not sauces one can make with it as well? I am admittedly not a cook nor do I eat meat, but I know some from watching others.

A shame your new friends are not real, or I would roast one for you to find out.

[is she serious or joking?




Probably both]

I am not, unless you consider mages to be super-powered.

That is very kind of you to say, sir.

I suppose, if you want to look at it that way. You flatter me far too much.

I don't think we have, no.

My name is Tempest. Well met, Jarvis.

It is a nickname, and unfortunately, an apt one.

[of course she takes after it]
