Open/Mingle - Roll Call.

Who: Sam, and you, and anyone; tis a mingle of sorts.
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: SS Bloodsport, if you wanna find him.
When: After the planet is struck - Sept 22nd.

Note: Feel free to tag each other and inform everyone of whatever you need to, post-planetary explosion! I'll tag here and there, but consider it more of a mingle for people to touch bases about casualities and making sure people know they're okay (or if someone's injured.)

[Sam sits, triumphant in their mission but also defeated in spirit. Because yeah, they got the ship off the planet, and there's a whole civilization of people who get out of there... but he also is already too aware there is at least one fatality on their end already. Looma's last broadcast had been expected, especially after she'd sent him a warning beacon as the meteor pressed down into the planet's atmosphere, speeding, ready to smash the thing to pieces without effort.

Looma at least faced her death as one would expect, for her people. He imagines they would be proud.

Still, he sounds deflated at the thought, as he speaks a more leveled and straightforward response:]


... We've lost Captain Looma, of the SS Bishop. Umm... for what it's worth, she did it on her terms. I'm sorry.


[He's carried out the task of divvying up the blood from the blood drive, in case anyone from any particular ship needs it; there've been some injuries from shrapnel and citizen unrest, he's pretty sure. That's about all he can do, now, other than check in on the gardens... make sure Fie's work is continued alongside her, because it's important to keep those plants alive and thriving.

He slumps a little in weariness, sighing at his desk where he sits on the SS Bloodsport.]



... Role call?


Who's, um. Who's missing?

Edwin Jarvis of the SS Tourist -- letting everyone know I'm currently aboard the Lyukian station, to keep any concern at bay. I'm alive and well while I help sort supplies.

Currently, help with transport.

[He's worried for Miss Carter. He's worried for a lot of people. Miss Looma is gone, for one thing... and others are potentially gone. He doesn't want to mention something she already knows, though; it's hard enough as is.]

I've been sacrificing the bistro's food supply for the meanwhile, until they're back on their feet. It's not much, but we've all been living quite well before The Melting Pot, so we'll do without until the next waystation or planet.

Down your -- oh.

Oh, um. Oh.

[Jarvis is not so smooth at the possibility that Peggy has lost crew, not as well as Steve. So he fumbles for a moment, before he says more steadfast:]

That's not an issue whatsoever; I'll come fetch you.

[He'll... lend you himself, if needed.]

Only if it doesn't disrupt what you're already doing. [ even so... ] But I would indeed like to help.

I shall be there shortly.

I'll wait for you in the cargo bay. If I'm not there when you arrive, just hold still a tick. [ ... ] We'll see if I can fill up a crate with supplies and get a start on helping out.

[personal profile] edwinjarvis 2017-10-01 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Considering how long I've had to wait on certain people, a tick is just fine.

[But he'll be waiting. Perhaps even prepared to take the shortest of naps where he sits in his seat, and at her arrival she may be spectator as to why - he's dressed in his best, of course, as always, but his hair is a bit mussed, time lost to the concept of keeping it slicked back and completely orderly, and there's a bit of weariness to the lines of his face. It's not quite a common Jarvis sight; he finds a certain amount of sleep imperative, after all, and even with the occasional gripping nightmare as of late he's always made sure to get that time in.

But, you know. Exploding planets. Being helpful to the cause. The usual. His spirits are by no means completely sunk -- guy just needs a very long and scheduled nap later. He does offer her a small nod, polite and as routine as him picking her up to go on one of their little journeys back home.]


Miss Carter. Shall we get to it?
mucked: (☂ deep asleep)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-10-02 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ it's not a common jarvis sight, no, but it's a shade to similar to how she'd seen him in the hospital. his polish smudged and his patience wearied. it makes her swallow hard when she sees him. it makes her steps falter.

and she feels a stab of guilt. there are things she hasn't told him -- and that discrepancy chafes at her now. enough so that she can't manage a proper smile. that's easily explained; now's not a smiling time. ]


Give us a hand? [ she holds out the crate -- lord knows she doesn't need help carrying it, but maybe she's eager to give him an easy job for once. ]
edwinjarvis: (pic#10920886)

[personal profile] edwinjarvis 2017-10-02 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, yes -- Jarvis' astute observation can come and go, depending on where his mind is at, and it goes without saying that thanks to the situation he entirely misses her hesitancy. He checks to make sure all systems are on standby before he hops up, tall and ready to throw his weight around. With a deep suck of breath, he returns to his usual shield of professionalism; perhaps something Peggy relates to.

... Though, the professionalism never lasts too long, in Peggy's good graces.

She has a habit of getting him to be himself. It's both lovely and frustrating.]


I happen to have two hands, so I believe I'm more than sufficiently prepared.

[He takes the crate, passes it back toward the back of the ship. His mind does wander to the surplus of canned goods kept in the different storage areas as emergency rations -- but then he remembers that it was usually their pilot who stocked it. He's not about to ask her to offer a potentially dead man's supplies, and certainly not callously in Miss Carter's presence. He's supposed to help improve her mood, not slap it in the face metaphorically. He clears his throat.]

Is Mr. Rogers alright? The others from home?
mucked: (☂ i can't explain but i want to try)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-10-02 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it's odd to feel herself so readily deliver the crate into his care. but the act brings a flutter to her heart -- the understanding that in making the conscious choice to ask for help, she's helped more than only herself. maybe. possibly. there's some ring to it from an old conversation taken in a guest bedroom with her bloodied thigh between them.

and in the wake of his help, she wipes her hands on her trousers. ]


He's perfectly alright. Tired, a bit sore, but nothing we haven't both ourselves recovered from with a bit of time and rest. [ ... ] I think he's humouring me by staying in bed.

The rest from home have all checked in.

[And as you know, Jarvis is more than happy to involve you in group efforts, for your own benefit. He would of course be lying if he said he wasn't trying to distract himself from the potential number of causalities and the now 'homeless' -- for lack of a more adequate term -- mourning citizens. He shifts to look at her, smiling mildly.]

'Do as Peggy says', I believe is the saying?

[Don't worry, Jarvis catches on fast. But also, it's a matter of listening to the heart of the person you love... He admits, it makes his heart ache, and he feels a little envious. Terrible way to be, that. He feels like a scoundrel every time.]
mucked: (☂ 'cause the hypnotist entranced him)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-10-03 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ she consigns herself to the passenger seat. it's easier with certain souls than it is with others: jarvis, max, steve. these precious figures whose help feels less like a hindrance and closer to what help ought to feel like.

peggy belts herself in. ]


That is indeed it. [ dry, dry, dry. ] And for once, Captain Rogers has taken it to heart.
edwinjarvis: (pic#10920901)

[personal profile] edwinjarvis 2017-10-03 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[He glances over fondly.]

Oh, I don't know. I believe he may take everything you say to heart.

[Jarvis can relate.]
mucked: (☂ she's the girl)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-10-03 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh hell no she is not in the mood for this. ]

Be careful where you tread, Mister Jarvis.
edwinjarvis: (pic#10934223)

[personal profile] edwinjarvis 2017-10-03 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, but he's prepared for a cranky and stand-offish Peggy Carter. After all, everything is... well, as some would put it, a 'shitshow'. As capable as she is, he's already seen firsthand on multiple occasions the strength of her sometimes... shorter temper.

In the wake of her not-mood, Jarvis is cool and composed.]


I am not treading.

[He turns, switching to the controls.]

... Merely offering my own... personal experience.

Perhaps I am envious of you and Mr. Rogers, if you want my honesty.
mucked: (☂ or near enough)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-10-03 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Envious! Oh, that's rich. Perhaps you've missed the part where either one of us could go poof any day now and disappear right from under the other's nose.

[ the words are out before she can think better of them. ana, peggy reminds herself. of the pain and the suffering and the proto-loss on jarvis's face. it drives her attention off the butler. until that point, she'd been staring him down. now she moodily looks the other way, biting down on the edge of her thumb. ]

[personal profile] edwinjarvis 2017-10-03 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
... You're right. My apologies, Miss Carter -- that was thoughtless of me.

[His voice is light, if not a bit sad.

He hadn't meant to make the air any more awful that it already was.

Perhaps he should keep his mouth shut.]


Regardless of how I feel, I've always been happy for you and Mr. Rogers.

I would never want you to doubt that.
mucked: (☂ by ten o'clock i'm back in bed)

[personal profile] mucked 2017-10-03 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ she hates this roiling feeling in her stomach. for years and years, she'd felt nothing like it. peggy would never condescend to say that lying (by omission or otherwise) had ever been easy. but it hadn't come with the same turmoil. only she's certain that telling him now will devastate him.

christ. telling him at any point will create a crisis. she's certain of that and that alone. ]


I don't. [ she forces herself to tell jarvis what he needs to hear just now. ] I don't doubt it. Not one bit. Do be happy for us -- I will gladly pay witness to that happiness. But don't envy us. Please, Mister Jarvis.
edwinjarvis: (pic#10841141)

[personal profile] edwinjarvis 2017-10-03 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. I'm more than happy to -- and I know how lucky I am, I truly do... I do miss Ana terribly right now, and I haven't been apart from her like this since -- well... I'd gotten arrested. [He blows a puff of air, shaking his head.] But I have a lovely wife to return to that wouldn't accept such an attitude on my part, and I really should be more patient; we'll be back home in no time, we'll see to it.

Thank you for setting me straight.

[Optimistic, Jarvis! You must be optimistic. Nobody likes such a complainer.

Stiff upper lip, and all of that nonsense. He feels stupid for even frowning over a short absence. And to do so at Peggy, who has been heartbroken for someone she'd thought she'd lost... He feels like he must really make it up to her, for setting him straight. He manages a slight smile, starting them on their way with both hands on the controls.]


And at any rate, enough about my woes. We have people to help, don't we?

Much more productive.

I would appreciate that, Mr. Kirkland. I'm afraid you'll be a bit out of work at The Melting Pot until we restock at the next station we find; I've been divvying supplies to the Lyukian people, in case they run low before their gardening system is ready.
