thelegion | Locked away from the omnicom of Vance Astrovik.

[ Rob's broadcasting from Mount Wundagore, his portion of the habitat deck. He's unable to keep the doofy, dimples wide smile off his face. He's talking fast in his excitement. ]

Hola, Legionnaires! Before you continue watching this, look around and make sure Vance Astrovik, also known as Justice, Marvel Boy, and Supertights, is nowhere near you. I've spent a lot of time figuring out how to block him and don't want the surprise ruined. I'll wait.

[ Robbie pulls out loop of string that he specifically prepared for this occasion and plays cat's cradle for thirty seconds. ]

He gone? Good. If he was actually there and wants to know why he heard his name, tell him to buzz off or you'll tell everyone the punch bowl story.

Here's the deal. Vance made his section of the habitat the Crashpad. That's our old team's HQ. I'm losing you already - stay with me. We used to try and decorate for the winter hols there, hang out. All my best holidays were there, and I think he'd say the same. It was ... warm.

[ Robbie laughs and shakes his head. ]

Even when we didn't have heat.

So there's a huge holiday coming up in like a week. It's called Valor's Day.

[ Robbie puts on a weird looking Santa hat. What should be red is black with a star pattern, the white fur is now red and trimmed with a gold stripe. ]

I'm not saying it's the new Christmas, but I think it's safe to say there's some inspiration.

I know I keep talking about home, but right now, this is my home. And the Legion's my team, so you're all invited. It'll be at 15:00, on Valor's Day, and I'm sending you all the location of the Crashpad in the Habitat Deck.

[ He fiddles with the omnicom to attach a map to the transmission. ]

I don't have any reals plans - I'm going shopping for decorations tomorrow, but I've got no idea where to find Chanukah and Christmas chic. So I'm giving you all a second invitation - whatever life-affirming holiday you celebrate, even if I didn't mention it, bring something. Maybe it's special food, maybe it's a carol, maybe it's a piñata. I don't care, just bring something that makes it feel like your party too.

Volunteers to help with the setup and breakdown are hugely appreciated and will be thanked with a bribe I haven't made up yet, but I remind you that holiday tradition loves helping your fellow m- beings. Jack, if you're wondering, this is what I wanted the winter wonderland for. I just have to clear it with... someone in charge before we mess with the climate.

Oh, and Vance? If you're watching this over someone's shoulder, you suck.

...Can I just ask about the punch bowl story?

[ Grif senses dirt. Or at least something fun. ]

i could help decorate

[Do not let him help decorate.]

Upped your security. You're welcome.

[She's attempting to make friends, just being very Cortana about it.]

Chanukah and Christmas are still celebrated, they're just less popular these days.

[Parker is...very prepared for Christmas. And actually neither upside-down nor in the ventilation system when she comes on the comms.]

It shouldn't be too hard to find things, but Earth and Mars are probably your best bets for a shopping excursion.

Well, while you do that, I need you to answer one thing.

What's Valor's Day?

[Because that's a holiday he sure didn't know existed. If it existed in his time. He was pretty sure it didn't.]

I DON'T REALLY CELEBRATE THE TWELFTH ANYMORE, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO NEED HELP DISMANTLING WHATEVER HIDEOUS CREATION DAVE JUST TRICKED YOU INTO LETTING HIM MAKE.

[Which is his utterly irascible way of letting you know he'll be there. Heck, he might even bring snacks that aren't made out of troll babies.]

I dunno where to get decent tamales in the space future, so clearly my only option is an all-day taste testing tour. You know, so I'm only bringing the best.

We're going shopping.

[Hurricane Nita incoming.]
