Heard you were back to yourself.

[ sup Jarvis ]

I'd like a work, when you have a moment.

action; sometime during the draft

[ahappylie]

[So, Okita took like, 20 flamingos.


And one morning, Jarvis will wake up and find one sitting right outside his room as if it moved there of its own volition. It even has its eye turned so it looks right at him when he opens the door.

Good morning, Jarvis.]

Oh dear, I'm not in trouble, am I?

It would be terrible to be in Captain America's poor graces.

[edwinjarvis]

[YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY DREADFUL MR. SOUJIROU AND I WILL NOT FORGET THIS SLIGHT AGAINST MY PERSON I AM O F F E N D E D AND I AM AIRLOCKING ALL OF THEM MARK MY WORDS]

[ahappylie]

[If you airlock them, he'll just bring them back but wearing blankets and with a tear drawn on their faces so they look sad that you threw them out into the cold unforgiving void of space.


There is no escape.

[edwinjarvis]

[V E R Y W E L L

He will be hiding and wait to catch you, sir, just you watch.

He will point the finger at this flamingo tormentor when he does, too!!]

[uprightness]

Not at all.

I meant to ask for your help, actually.

[edwinjarvis]

Oh! In that case, you absolutely may have it.

What do you need my assistance with, Mr. Rogers?

text »

[uprightness]

Several matters actually.

and I have something for you too. Mind if I come over to drop it off?

[edwinjarvis]

Understood. I'll be here at the Tourist whenever you'd like to drop in.

[uprightness]

I'll be right over.

[ with a rather large pumpkin, as it is! surprise. ]

[ahappylie]

[He's already off the ship, Jarvis. Come and get him.

]

action

[edwinjarvis]

[Oh, yes, he loves company! He is untying an apron after a fine cleaning session, and there you are, Mr. Rogers--

.........

Ah.]

... This was not what I was expecting.

action

[uprightness]

I finally managed to harvest a few. Figured you might want one.

[ captain america, vegetables and co. ]

[edwinjarvis]

[One of these days he will nab you, villain.

... Or he'll, you know, just send a message.]

Mr. Soujirou, we are all adults here, are we not?

This is getting quite — silly! The flamingo torture must stop!

action

[edwinjarvis]

I would! Oh, absolutely. But are you sure...?

If you truly would like to. I would certainly make something we could all enjoy.

[ahappylie]

[What? He did nothing of the sort!]

Flamingo torture?

[hehehheehehEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH]

Jarvis-san, what are you talking about?

action

[uprightness]

Absolutely. If you want another - I don't really have anything to do with half a dozen pumpkins.

[ proud of them as he may be. He takes a seat, pushes the pumpkin aside. ]

What we're going to discuss has to stay between us.

[ he's so serious, you'd think they're battle plans. ]

[edwinjarvis]

Mr. Soujirou, [if i say your name crossly enough many times will you admit it all] there are only so many people I actually gave those terrible little flamingos to.

[And one of them has left the fleet, soooooo.]

action

[edwinjarvis]

[omg

He'll be quite serious in return, for your sake, Mr. Rogers.

He hushes his tone.]

You have my word, I will be as discreet as possible.

[ahappylie]

[if Hijikata Toshizou cannot get this man to break, Jarvis, there is little hope anyone else can.]

Oh? But I gave all of mine away.

[Aka, I hid one on your ship and then squirreled the rest away in hiding spots around the Goldstone.]

Why? Did something happen?

ction

[uprightness]

Peg's birthday.

[ there are military operations that are less sensitive. ]

We have to decide how to go about it. She won't allow any fuss which means the fuss will have to be a quiet one.

[edwinjarvis]

... There is something utterly dastardly in your act of innocence.

[damn u, okita, damn u to heckie]

Action

[edwinjarvis]

[He brightens and is totally not grave anymore, because birthdays are joyous sunbeams shed on people as they grow.]

Oh, yes, of course!! Mr. Stark has me fetch her flowers for the occasion.

I'm quite skilled at covert birthday gifts and celebrations.

Action

[uprightness]

Well, we don't have flowers but I thought, maybe we can still aim for a cake. Figured no one knows what she likes better than you.

[ and no one better to ask for help, then. ]
