[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?

[acuerdo]

[ just u wait, reyes, she'll roll up with the most incredible hercule poirot mustache at the end of the month and it will be a sight to behold. men will weep, women will swoon, she'll solve murders and suddenly be belgian, it'll be great! ]

There are a lot of things you don't know about me, Robbie. Maybe I come from a long line of hairdressers.

[acuerdo]

[it all sounds very impressive, unrealistic but impressive. he's fully expecting her to show up with nary more than a little smattering of peach fuzz. but if she's going to show up to the party with a real live mustache he will eat his metaphorical hat.]

you know your story keeps changing by the minute. i only know one person with that many backstories and if it weren't for the fact that i'd been reassured she wasn't lying i wouldn't believe it.

[read: "i don't quite believe you, gaby teller"]

[myownwoman]

Oh did I forget to mention? I'm a spy.

[ wait for it ]

;)

[ because gaby still is disinclined to seriously tell people she is, you know, actually a spy and that stupid winky face she doesn't even like makes it completely unbelievable. ]

[acuerdo]

well, that certainly explains a whole lot.
but you probably shouldn't go around telling people.

[he doesn't believe her, of course, but he'll go along with it for a second... oh and there's the wink so the going along with it is done and over with. thanks a lot gaby.]

you... i'm blaming the fact that i can't see your deadpan expression for my believing you.

[myownwoman]

They don't let mechanics be spies, liebling.

[acuerdo]

maybe not in your time... and i'm gonna need you to give me a german dictionary.

[myownwoman]

Darling

[acuerdo]

i know we see each other a whole lot, but i didn't think we were to the pet name stage.

[myownwoman]

Don't worry, it is not romantic.

[ well it can be, but it's not. sry 2 say ]

[acuerdo]

break my heart why don't you.
maybe i wanted an office romance.

[and since tone really can't be interpreted through text sometimes.]











kidding.

[myownwoman]

I'm sorry to hurt you this way.
