[the video flickers to life in the middle of robbie's living room. his smiling, clean shaven face greets one and all with a very important message.]

Citizens of Cadelle. I mustache you a question...

[in the background an audible groan can be heard, followed by the mutterings of his very unimpressed girlfriend. clearly she's not as big a fan of his terrible jokes as he is.]

It's the first of November. I'd like to invite all of you to grow a mustache with me. And maybe raise some funds for men's health. Doesn't matter if it's a fu manchu or a handlebar, come join me.

Let's see who can a: grow the most epic 'stache and b: raise the most funds and awareness.

Ladies? I'm enlisting you to be the judges of this unofficial competition.

So what do you all say? You in?

Does it count if we've already grown the beard?

[ Steve has been growing his thick beard since he got here and hung up Captain America the mantle. ]

[acuerdo]

Hey. [well aren't you rocking the whole lumberjack chic look, mr. rogers.]

I'm not gonna tell you how to do it. I heard a guy who did a fundraiser and the winner got to pick what color glitter went in his beard so...

[recruited]

That really wouldn't have been fun for the guy getting glitter in his beard.

[ He cringes a little. ]

Glitter stays on you forever. I can't imagine having it in my beard.

( at some point in the evening, while the poster in question is occupied with replying to any and all messages received, kimberly whips out her own cuddlephone to post a pertinent disclaimer. )

for the record, no shave november is ridiculous
but for the sake of anyone you might be cuddling, gentlemen: at least make sure your facial hair is trimmed

[acuerdo]

are you trying to tell me something here?

[recoined]

( have an eye roll, reyes. )

definitely
if your mustache goes into your mouth, i'm not kissing it

[ please enjoy a really charming picture of gaby with a lock of hair carefully held across her mouth (with someone else's hands, thanks kimberly hart, the real mvp) like a fancy handlebar mustache. ]

I'm in.

[acuerdo]

[bless you, gaby teller. he hasn't laughed this hard in... well probably ever. please look forward to the present that will be on your desk tomorrow.]

it's beautiful. so full and healthy.

[myownwoman]

Conditioner.

[ she will treasure that mug always, drink all her coffee with it, never let anyone else touch it. ]

Sure why not.

[acuerdo]

got any idea how you're going to judge the winner?

[glaza]

[ Hmmm ]

Quality of the beard, good hygiene, maybe how big. Depends.

...what if you already have a very impressive moustache and beard? Do I automatically win?

[Because, as he strokes it considerately, Vasquez thinks that it's pretty impressive, especially seeing as he trimmed it only a few weeks ago and it's grown back in. Then again, if this is a competition, he wants in.

No, more than that, he wants to win.]

[acuerdo]

The idea is to see how it looks at the end of the month, man.

Think you can keep it looking that neatly groomed if you keep growing it out?

[all these people in cadelle who've already got a nice full beard are killing him. robbie's missing his mustache right about now but it should be back in full force before long. a beard though is sadly not in the cards. not for him at least.]

[quinientos]

I've gone years without shaving and I always looked very handsome. I don't think this competition takes this into account, how little I've ever had to work before.

[He gives Robbie a squint of a look as he looks into the camera, gesturing for him to lift it up a little.]

Show me yours? Let's see what you start with?

[fightlikehell]

For men's health? That's a good cause. Any particular ailment in mind?

[acuerdo]

The organization that started the trend did it as a way to bring awareness to prostate health originally I think.

But nowadays it's kind of more broad a movement.

You planning on joining in?

[advena]

( she's trying — and failing — to muffle a giggle behind her hand at the cheesiness of i mustache you a question. the girl's a sucker for bad puns. )

Wow. You look different.

( different, sure. ten years younger, most definitely. she's pretty sure clean shaven's not the best look, but that's not very nice. )

[acuerdo]

[he knows that tone, kara danvers. he knows it well. it's the same one that his girlfriend adopted when she first saw him without the facial hair. he knows he looks like a baby without it.

don't remind him. he's looking forward to growing it all back out. fret not.]

Hi Kara. Different bad?

video; fulcrum

[bylothalmoons]

I'm not quite sure I understand the point.

[He obviously already has facial hair, and it's--well--]

Why specifically mens health? Why not health, in general? Unless you find one gender more worthy than the other.

[Some species--some people do.]

[acuerdo]

[yes yes. robbie can see that yet another person in cadelle has a nice full amount of facial hair.

envy's not a good look though, so. no comments there.]

Well, there's already a women's health movement. Yanno? Save the tatas? [of course he might not know anything about that. wouldn't be the first time.]

I don't think men are better than women. I promise.
