[There's a familiar ~~child~~ DEFINITELY 14 YEAR OLD YOUNG WOMAN on the comms, but Mabel looks unusually serious as she opens up her video feed! What ever could be troubling this sparkling ray of sunshine?

Who is literally sparkling, actually. A small cloud of glitter seems to surround her, and there are glittery fingerprints on everything she's touched in the background.]

Good afternoon, Legion -

[Her solemnity breaks. She frowns confusedly into the distance.]

Is it afternoon in space? How does anyone know what time it is in space? If someone ever tells me I have to get up early, what does that even mean if time has no meaning? Shouldn't we all just sleep until we just agree we're not tired -

[WELL THAT SURE WAS A TANGENT. Which Mabel recognizes, pulling herself back to the matter at hand.]

Anyway, what I came here to say has nothing to do with space, or time, but it's very important. This message is dedicated to all the boys of Legion.

[She clears her throat, solemnly looking into the camera.]

Space hero boys, this is hard for me to say . . . you're beautiful and dreamy and I can sort of remember all of you. Like a shimmering dream you cling to upon waking -

[She goes so far as to reach out her hand dramatically, grasping at something too ephemeral and glorious for reality.]

- but right now, the universe needs me. And more specifically . . . my bro needs me.

[She . . . realizes she probably doesn't have to elaborate. She's missed many horrifying things happening to Dipper. One horrifying thing after the other, really, that other people probably know more about than her. She's only gotten to see the aftermath. But the aftermath of Dipper's mental state is . . . she can't be the only one who's noticed it's Not Great.]

The Time Trapper has already sent me back too many times, and if I'm going to keep this job, I need to double down and become the best possible superhero I can be! And that means pouring all my time and energy into the most epic training montage the universe - multiverse - whateververse has ever seen.

So I'm sorry Beautiful Space Boys, but until Chronoblivion is no more . . . I can't be with any of you.

[She exhales, hanging her head in sad desperation that it has come to this.]

notveryquirky

[A rather awkward and uncomfortable looking 15 year-old boy with extremely unkempt hair comes over the video feed. He's obviously not used to things like this.]

[Namely: Being social in any capacity with people outside his class.]

Uh. H-hello, my name is M-Midoriya Izuku, U.A. Superhero High School class 1-A. Not that, um, not that anyone probably knows what that is, alternate universes and all...

[He catches himself slouching as his words drift off to almost whisper-quiet, his bashful nature getting the better of him. He quickly sits back upright, and speaks louder.]

I've just joined the Legion, and so I'd like to introduce myself. Which I...just did. Right. My, uh, my hero name is Deku, which is also my nickname back home, so feel free to call me that...if you want to, of course...

[Normally, he wouldn't be nearly this flustered, but being told you're going to face an unspeakable evil of cosmic, universe eating proportions can do that to a person.]

A-Anyway! I just want to say, I might be young and inexperienced, but I look forward to working with you all!

[Please, someone tell this child to unclench. At this rate it seems like he might pass out from awkwardness if left to his own devices.]

[ Grif is in high spirits today. He seems to actually be in one of the training rooms for once, which makes that a lot weirder. ]

Hey guys. There are a bunch of weirdos running around and it's been a while since we talked about powers. So guess what we're going to do today?

[ 'We' because he expects participation, dammit! ]

And because I'm feeling generous, I'll start. Guess who learned a new thing?

[ He points at himself with both thumbs and backs up, revealing a line of targets. He steps back, lines up his shoulder with them, and winds up his arm like a softball pitcher. He doesn't stop. Grif's arm blurs as he speeds up, and finally the force of the moving air is enough to tip over the nearest target. But only the nearest one. He stops, gestures at it with definite pride, and continues. ]

So let's talk about your powers because we already know mine are pretty awesome.

[ Of course they are, Grif. ]

Has anybody else figured out anything cool? And if you're new: I'm Grif and this is basically my job around here. Tell me what you got, because I'm still way disappointed about the lack of eye lasers we got going on on this team. I could read profiles, but who has time for that crap?

If I know you already... I don't know. Injury status report? What did you have for lunch? I'm just bored, okay?

((( This is a free for all mingle post! Grif will reply to everyone who responds, but if you want to have a character jump into a conversation with anybody you are absolutely welcome and, in fact, encouraged. Feel free to have characters ignore the point, talk about other things, etc etc. Threads are assumed to be public unless you mark them otherwise. This is set after the Ambush of TTHS but the Investigation is still ongoing. )))

[ The camera feed turns on, and it's immediately an in-focus, decently framed shot. Robbie actually has experience with selfie feeds and took the time to learn the controls before he started shooting.

The content is being winged, though, because it's really hard to screw up hello. Robbie grins at the camera. ]

The Pledge of a Legion, so that's a thing.

[ There's just enough of a rush to his voice to slur the edges of the words into "Pledge of Allegiance". Saying hi doesn't mean he can't amuse himself for a split second while testing the waters for possible temporarily-borrowed contemporaries. ]

Never actually had to vow before. Sign things, yes. This is kind of more official than I like to work, but a team's a team. You guys can help me with the future deets, and I'll start working on that new catchphrase for you.

[ And a new pledge, and a new team name, because wow. It's all so on-the-nose that it hurts, or maybe it's the smell of raw earnestness wafting around this place. He might've written up a few theoretical oaths for the New Warriors, back in the day, but he never got around to showing them to anyone. Enacting them, though, that takes consensus. Robbie doesn't think he'd have managed it.

He throws a deuce, because he'll never have another chance to confuse future alien peoples. ]

What up, Legion? Speedball in the house.
