[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. ]

( 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?

[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...

[recoined]

( have an eye roll, reyes. )

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

[acuerdo]

maybe i'll grow muttonchops. will you hate me if i do that?

[ 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.

[recoined]

magic 8 ball says your future is unclear
mostly because i have no idea what you're referring to and i really don't want to know

[acuerdo]

look it up. i know they don't have google here but the search engine works just fine.

Sure why not.

...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]

[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.

[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.]

[acuerdo]

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

[recoined]

( you know what, she's just going to throw said cuddlephone in his general direction. you look it up, reyes!!! )

[glaza]

[ Hmmm ]

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

[acuerdo]

that definitely sounds reasonable.
should there be separate judging for those who do and those who don't grow a beard?

[myownwoman]

Conditioner.

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

[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?

[acuerdo]

i don't think i should be handling my mustache in the same way.

are you going to judge too or just wow us with your locks?

[myownwoman]

It doesn't seem a very fair contest if the only way I can participate is through judging.

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

( 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. )

[glaza]

Those who don't grow one are automatically disqualified.

[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.]
