[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?

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.

[bylothalmoons]

[Cassian looks highly skeptical.] I have no idea what 'tatas' are, but it seems healthcare should be universal, across gender and species.

[Perhaps there are specific movements in some worlds, but given what he has been fighting for, they don't have the luxury to focus on one specific thing.]

This is something specific to your world, then?

[acuerdo]

That's a very noble take on things. I respect your opinion.

[robbie purses his lips as he considers how to explain what 'tatas' are. may as well take it like a band-aid.]

I guess so? Tatas are breasts. Do people in your world not have slang terms for things?

[bylothalmoons]

...yes, linguistics, different planets, species have different words for different...things. Though that certainly isn't one of them.

[acuerdo]

That's the way it is where I'm from too. There's different languages and even sometimes within the same language there are different words that refer to the same thing.

[robbie mulls over giving him a list of all the different terms he knows for the particular word in question but thinks better of it.]

Planets. I take it you're not from earth.
