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.

Scuse you. When have I ever chickened out?

Age and crippling fear of your mom.

[ It is way better than lust for his mom. ]

The contract was one of those scary brilliant moments, but mostly scary. I have nothing but confidence that, if she catches you breaking the rules and she'll probably catch you, nobody sees Nova again until you're out of grad school.
no subject
I think she's a lot more okay with it now. I mean, she wanted me to quit, for a while after the Avengers stuff, but now when I'm out in space for four days she just tells me that I smell horrible and I need to take a shower.
no subject
Oh, right. Future bro. Hey, I've been meaning to ask you - uh. Never mind on that one.
no subject
[ Look, dude, now you've just got him curious what you were curious about. ]
no subject
[ He can totally yank that topic off the table. He wanted to know, while they were on the subject of the ladies, if Aracely had started paying attention to Sam or Vance instead. ]

[ At some point, words stop having real meaning, and he just continues a back-and-forth to stay in practice. ]
Look, I decided I didn't want to ask. It wasn't about you. I just don't want the question over-interpreted.
no subject
[ He's still curious. But, yanno, they've all got plenty of reasons to be wary of people over-interpreting things, thanks no thanks fandom. ]
