Who: Jarvis and you!
Broadcast: Video
Action: SS Tourist or The Melting Pot, but only if you need 'em there!
When: April 19th
[Ehem. Jarvis has his glasses on, and is carefully scanning a snippet from an old booklet he'd found with regards to human life on Earth - in the future, that is, and regarding special days of the year. And lo and behold, April 19th happened to be a listed day in a variety of 'strange celebratory days'. So...! He reads the passage, adjusting his spectacles.]
... "While no one really knows the origin of the high-five, it’s believed to go back to the 1970s and likely a variation of the 'Low-Five' – which had been around since, at the very least, WWII. However...! There are two popular stories which try to explain the origin of the High-Five."
"The first story states that the first high-five occurred at Dodger Stadium on October 2, 1977, between Glenn Burke and Dusty Baker on the last day of the regular season. This high-five was in response to a home run hit by Baker off of Houston Astros pitcher J.R. Richard."
"The second story places the origin of the high-five at a University of Louisville Cardinals basketball practice in 1978. Wiley Brown was going to give his teammate Derek Smith a low-five, but the two decided to give each other a high-five instead. After that, the team began giving each other high-fives after each celebration..." Huh!
I suppose... be sure to pass along a 'high-five' to whoever is in need of one.
I hear they're quite the pick-me-up in recent years.
Though I must wonder... If there's such a day as 'National High-Five Day', what in the blazes is hidden within the other 364 days of the year back home? Or even out in and about the far reaches of space. Surely some things are a bit ridiculous to dedicate an entire 24 hours towards... No Pants Day? How absolutely lewd and unnecessary. Please, keep your pants on in public, lest you be insulted for your choice in undergarments and promptly slapped.
[He flips through the list.]
Toothache Day? A nightmare!
... And I have no clue why squirrels would need their own special day, for that matter.
They're standoffish, and their ability to recollect the location of their own hiding spots is downright pitiful.
[Is he trying to enthuse people and get their spirits raised after a really ugly planet trip? You betcha.]

[Also kind of unnecessary in modern times, people can make their own goddamn sandwiches. And servitude in general isn't really that favorable in hindsight. But he's very proud of his work and job! And keeping Howard Stark out of trouble... sometimes.]
I take pride in what I accomplish, though. It's a laborious task, but certainly one I'm content in doing. Most days, anyway.

How are you doing?

[But also terribly sad because some of his crew has vanished, and also maybe as overdone as ever when it comes to working. And also, the aura of the fleet is terrible as-is thanks to finding what is essentially a giant graveyard of forgotten people.
But he's trying to be a positive force in an otherwise sort of sad event!]
Fit as a fiddle and ready to go, as one says.
Re: video
Because if you wanted to talk about anything that's been happening, I'd be happy to listen.

[Ugh, he's terrible at pretending he's not sentimental and grateful for her potential concern.]
I suppose we're all a bit dreary in spirits, considering what's happened recently.
