Video. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOOOOOU

Who: Edwin Jarvis and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Tourist, or visit him at The Melting Pot if you'd like, aboard the Iskaulit!
When: After they leave the spooky cannibal planet.

[It has been... the longest few months in his entire life, or maybe competes with the top months. The prior month particularly, and that's not even counting being stranded on a planet full of cannibals. Regardless, Jarvis has been kind of... working on keeping things together. It does nobody any good if he openly mopes or worries -- he has The Melting Pot to tend to, better stocked now since Lyuku. He tries not to seem too distracted there. And The Tourist will, of course, continue to have its routine offered breakfasts and dinners...! He's not one to give in on his usual duties just because something's dampening his spirits.

One morning, he finds a crate in the Tourist's cargo bay, and dreads the fact that his name is written on the shipping label. The last time he'd actually opened one of these, it had been... flamingos. Plastic flamingos that inadvertently turned into a galactic fashion statement. He will not make the same mistake again...!!! He shows up on his feed, hand on his hip, looking displeased.]


I don't know if you've noticed, but...!! There's a rather large box here for me in the cargo bay. When have these ever been a good thing, I implore you to inform me? I've learned quite a number of things through life here. One -- don't fiddle with your augment implant. Two -- people can apparently survive being asleep for ungodly periods of time, and three -- do not trust anything the Atroma send you! I'm not falling for it aga--

[There's a sudden explosion of confetti, the walls of the crate falling open as Jarvis yelps in a high and rather unflattering timbre, and behind him stands a cake nearly his height -- with HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY in huge letters, as well as a banner that subtitles: sorry about being trapped on a cannibal planet. Jarvis leaps back to standing upright, adjusting his riled tie and crooked reading glasses -- and looking alarmed. And covered in confetti.]

... Dear god no.

[NO NOT HIS BIRTHDAY]

That--

That is the most hazardous and ugliest cake I've ever seen in my life!!

[Oh, come on, Jarvis, it's not that--



Ohmyword.]

[Now that the planet situation has calmed down, Thor has finally gotten around to using the communicator. Naturally, this is the first broadcast he catches in real time. The explosion of confetti certainly makes him take notice. Is that just how everything is announced around here?]

Maybe the journey in the crate didn't agree with it.

[It does look kind of... wonky. But not that bad.]

[ honestly, she mostly ignores the broadcast, listening and watching only close enough to find out if there's anything in it that'll pique her interest.

cake. it's the word cake that pulls her full attention toward the screen
]

Cake is cake. Who cares what it looks like!

Happy belated birthday, dear Mister Jarvis.

[ things have been dreadful, yes. but there's something in the way his incredulity marches onward which reminds peggy that they must not allow themselves to falter. no matter what has transpired. ]

[Justice does know a bit about birthday celebrations--he does have some of Kristoff's memories, after all--but he has one main question...]

Is that meant to be on fire?

[Why would you put fire on your food, mortals? Or maybe that's what the helpful man meant by 'hazardous'.]

[That... is a huge cake. But it doesn't look THAT bad to him, honestly.]

I got lion plushies in my first box, so they aren't always bad. Happy birthday, Jarvis.

[Fenris comes running in, sword drawn after the fucking explosion, battle prepared and ready to fight whatever is attacking Jarvis. He stops dead in his tracks at the sight of all the confetti and that giant ass cake. Slowly he lowers his sword. ]

...I honestly don't know why I'm even surprised any more.

[That's quite the cake there, boss :|]

Uh.

Bon anniversaire, all the same, Jarvis. It is...considerate of them to not forget?
rebuildyourruins: (Ooh yeah. Sure. Totally.)

video.

[personal profile] rebuildyourruins 2017-11-19 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't think so. Still, happy birthday?

[Not that Jarvis sounds particularly happy about it.]
rebuildyourruins: (Yeah lmao whatever.)

Ah, it's fine. [He waves a hand, don't worry about it.] An exploding crate of cake would distract anyone.

I am new, yes. I have been here only a week. Thor, son of Odin. It is a pleasure to meet you as well, Jarvis.

[Wolfe was busy elsewhere when the explosion happened - mostly because an explosion out in space on a ship could mean a hole and fuck if he's getting sucked out into the Void - but he does come to the hold later (once he's sure they're not all gonna die) to see what all the commotion was about.]

That's... certainly something.

[He counts candles for a moment.]

You're turning 30?

[Mr. Justice? That's a new one. He tilts his head, one eyebrow creasing in confusion and curiosity.]

What is the purpose of this ritual? I see no practical reason to have candles you intend to put out placed in food. It seems like an unnecessary hazard.

[Also, Jarvis, you should keep an eye on that cake. It looks ready to dump fire on the floor.]

And what is a birthday except exactly that?

I was going to try to look on the bright side that someone thought of you, but... no. No, that is pretty bad.
