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?]
.... 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.

If you should see the living thing perched on one leg, you should run immediately. Do not give it a moment to strike!

[He would also probably shield Bernard from death, because he's a peach.
It's a problem.]
But perhaps they taste good with a bit of seasoning.

[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.

But I'm not sure what flamingo tastes like.

[is she serious or joking?
Probably both]

But more importantly!!]
Are you a super-powered sort of individual then, by chance?
With this uncanny ability to roast all manner of bird.

Have we been properly introduced? I feel my manners have slipped a bit.
My name is Edwin Jarvis, but Jarvis will do just fine.

My name is Tempest. Well met, Jarvis.

You don't take after it too much, do you? I would rather not have my hair blown sideways.
