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.]

Come, now. It isn't so bad. These bastards can hardly escape you like he could.

[ she at least does him the courtesy of not saying bernard's name. ]

...Alright, no, this is the most useless sponsor drop.

[wtf, Atroma. He's staring skeptically at the screen, expression warring between surprise and resignation.]
robitussin: (they're sure this cure)

The Atroma sure are having a lot of fun this week.

[Though okay, she does find this kind of hilarious. Snrk.]

[This is not helping his assumption that every sponsor drop is pink, regardless of what Nami said.]

Those are called hellbirds? What a terrible name for such a... [He pauses. Are those things cute? He has no idea.] long bird.

Hellbirds? That seems very dramatic.

[Natasha can't hide her amusement at his outrage.]

There has to be a story behind this.

You could make a matched set with the bottle rockets, that's all. [Of which she has many. She holds one up.]

I can think of many uses for a flamingo army, can't you?
namisan: (what can you do)

[personal profile] namisan 2017-03-13 09:31 am (UTC)(link)
Mmhmm. Lots of cutesie hair accessories for people with long hair. Never mind I cut it all off a few days ago. I think it's their idea of a little joke.

[....Jarvis. He likes you. He likes you a lot. You're wonderful. You cook well, you are kind and nice in a world full of snarky, awful people.

And yet here he is; laughing at you again.
]

I... see.

[He's trying so hard, he's covering his mouth with one hand, lips pursed and holding the giggles back.]

Did you have a [snrk] terrible experience with these flamingos before?
