TO HAVE AND TO HOLD [modplot]

Who| Anyone who wants in
What| "To Have and to Hold" plot
Where| The planet Olum, Matihara Temple
When| Set vaguely the same time as "Gods Among Us" and "Other Mother"
Warnings/Notes| N/A

The planet Olum is a genuinely welcoming place. While the clothes they have to wear for the rituals are a bit...odd (provided they don't opt for coverups), they are comfortable, especially with such a balmy climate. Despite the Olumites allowing outsiders into their ceremonies, there's a distinct lack of tourist-ey elements; no gift shops, no merchants selling anything, just a spirit of genuine unity and celebration. The Olumite marriage guides seem to genuinely care about helping people with their relationships, and seem happy to share their cultural traditions with other species.

As far as missions go, it's definitely a nice vacation from the usual life or death struggles.

It means the Legionnaires have no distractions. They have to settle in and try to navigate this while faking sincerity as best as they can.

Vance glances over at him before looking back at his omnicomm. "Well. It's not like either of us have ever had good role models in that regard." Hell, even among the original New Warriors, it had mostly been Angelica who had a decent parent.

Well. Rich's mother was fine. And his brother. Vance still had issues with Mr. Rider.

"On the other hand, at least we know what not to do."

Vance's parents were the worst, hands-down. Rob feels like shit for even going here with the conversation, and it is his fault. The whole fake marriage concept has been bugging him since this mission started. He's tried to keep it bottled up and not object to what they had to do, but... he hates it.

The face he's making could double as the face he'd make if he got a mouthful of asparagus when he was expecting chocolate and couldn't spit it out politely. Robbie has told himself since he was a kid that he wouldn't be like his parents and do marriage for the wrong reasons, yet here he is. Even if it's fake by consent, he still feels like he's messed up.

"Apparently, I don't," he mutters, because Robbie's mouth has no off switch. He really can't complain more than that, because the Baldwins were paradise compared to the Astroviks. Then, more loudly, he says, "Which way do we go?"

Abuse was abuse. Just because Justin Baldwin hadn't laid a hand on Robbie didn't mean there hadn't been abuse. Vance was well aware of the fact that emotional abuse was just as harmful, after all.

He glances over to Robbie, then turns back to the comm and turns with it. "Looks like it's to our right. And forward, because of course it's forward."
