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.]

[Yes. Yes, you are. A few more errant giggles squeak out of Wanda here or there, but she mostly seems to have herself under control now. Her face is bright red, and her eyes still watery from all the laughter.]

I- I'm sorry. It was just- just the image of you being chased around by flamingos and koalas--

[She snorts. Keep it together, Wanda. Keep it together. She clears her throat.]

I am sure it was a very... strenuous job taking care of those animals.

[Jarvis, you are making this so hard for her right now. Again, she snorts, trying valiantly to hold back a whole new onslaught of giggles. Her face turning slightly red with the effort of suppressing her laughter.]

They- they drop out of trees...

I did not know that... Did you- did you have to wear a hard hat of some kind?
notmutantbutmiracle: (That's not what everyone else sees)

[Wanda snorts at that. She can tell the poor man is clearly not fond of the animals, but Wanda's having a hard time seeing them as all that threatening.]

Well, you will have to hope enough to pick up the slack for me then.
