Chaos

Soap: Hey, Bonnie

Oswald: Yeah?

Soap: *Grins* The teams not here

Oswald: ...

Oswald: You got the C-4's?

Soap: Aye *Pulls out the hidden container full of explosives*

2 hours later:

Price: Hopefully the base isn't up in fire

Gaz: *Pulls up to the base* Shocker, looks normal to me

Giant explosion is heard:

Gaz: Aaaand, I spoke too soon

decided to put in an ask for a beautiful person with beautiful art <3 What would Oswald think of Sunako? To put it more specifically, how would Oswald feel about Ako joining Taskforce 141 despite her previous experience as a Shadow Company operative? And how would the Lieutenant just take to Sunako's loud and reckless personality in general? Not even sure if you're taking OC asks, but I thought I should give it a shot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lol ty 🥺

Also yeh Oc asks are fine!

Anyway, to answer your question:

They'd be the reason why TF141 barraks go up into flames.

Since Oswald is a captain of her own team, she's learned to be mature to an extent as she needs to set an example for her team; but, she still is extremely reckless.

Also, her and Ako have a lot in common. Oz was a previous operator of Shadow Co. before she rejoined her previous team, F-O-Z, as its new captain. Both were betrayed by Graves, so they'd prob just clown on him together, as well as pull pranks on 141 when Oz is stationed in the UK.

And since Oz had previously served in the U.S Airforce, she'd have a lot in common with Taejin as well.

But for first impressions? Oz would definitely feel for Ako since she knows what betrayal feels like(especially from Graves.)

Laswell and Price talking about their children(TF141 and F-0-Z):

Price and Laswell discussing their teams:

Price: *Sits downs, letting out a long, annoyed sigh*

Laswell: Long week?

Price: Guess you could say that. The teams got me all over the place.

Laswell: I get that. I have to deal with my own daily shenanigans.

Price: Really? Tuesday, Soap blew up a truck with C-4's! Wednesday, Simon nearly landed half the SAS trainees in the hospital during their sparring just because they called him "Skully." And Gaz started a full on prank wars resulting in my office being flooded.

Laswell: *Lets out a spiteful chuckle* You think thats bad? Oswald took an F-35 on a joyride, nearly crashing and now I've got Shepard on my case. Dice started a gambling ring on base and is completely broke. Smokes took this opportunity to win everyones cigs and now theres brawls and cig trading hubs all over base that I gotta deal with.

Price: That doesn't even come cl-

*Explosion in background*

Price and Laswell panicking: No one's watching the kids-

Price: Mmm...chilly night eh?

Gaz: I can handle it Capt

Soap: Aye, nothing compared to the winters at home

Price: Tough one's are you? Alright *Puts out fire* Night boys

In the morning:

Price: *Yawns* Mornin-

Ghost, Gaz, and Soap: *Sleeping layered on each other for warmth*

Price: *Grins smugly while snaping a picture* Like a bunch of primary boys in a sleepover

American Snacks

Price, Ghost, Soap, and Gaz: *Trying a Hershey bar*

Gaz: *Spits it out* This tastes like vomit!

Alex and Oswald: Vomit?!

Ghost: *Shrugs* it tastes like cheap chocolate

Oswald: Cheap?!

Price: *Swooshing his mouth with tea to rid the taste* I agree. This is probably the worst chocolate I have ever put in my mouth

Soap: *Eats the rest of the bar* I donnae what ye all mean. Chocolates, chocolate

Oswald: *Looks at soap* Thank you! You all are so dramatic, I swear

Alex: Alright, alright. Lets move on...how about root beer float? *pours a glass over icecream*

Ghost: No wonder Americans are fat...

Gaz: *Takes a bite* Mouthwash?!

Price: You feeding us mouthwash, Alex?

Oswald: It may taste like mouthwash, but its frickin delicious mouthwash-as long as its with icecream

Soap: Bonnie...If I wanted to brush my teeth I would've done it, not let the dessert do it

Alex: ...

Ghost: Soaps right. Its like if a dentist became a chef

Oswald: I hate you all

Alex: *Sighing to himself* Maybe we should've picked different snack choices...

Was randomly talking to my mom about the Maui fires a bit back and everything going on in Maui now, post fire, and it really got me thinking.

Growing up, I adored mountain fires. Being a kid in West side Waianae, mountain fires were a yearly thing since our mountains were so dry. Since Waianae is so dark(bc it's not a city like in the Windward side) you can't even see the mountains at night, making them blend in with the pitch black sky.

My living room had 2 wide sliding doors looking towards the mountains and whenever the fires came around, it would illuminate the fine mountain ridges. It was beautiful. I'd find myself sitting by that patio door every night just to see the dancing lines of blaze drawing the outlines of the almost invisible mountains, paired with the soft smell of smoke. The slight smoke filtered by the distance was one of my most pleasant and also memorable scents of my childhood.

I think it must have been weird for my parents then. Imagine seeing your child ritualistically sit by the open patio screen, staring out into the night in an entranced state? Plus the fact that it would be like that for a full month. Creepy...I'd even run out to see the fires the moment I woke up.

Another thing is a more cultural aspect. Pele. The Hawaiian goddess of fire and lava. Also my favorite Hawaiian Goddess growing up. Sometimes I'd find myself talking to the flames, miles away from my patio door as if it were Pele herself. I'd thank her for the beauty her flames provided as well as the beauty it would soon bring for these mountains.

Like I said, Waianae mountains are dry. Dry mountain = dirt colored, crusty grass aka brown mountains. Not your typical luscious green mountain full of life and care that you'd see on Hawai'is touristy ads and commercials. No. We don't have that in the Leeward. Thats why after the fires, our mountains would turn into a beautiful green, full of life and just beautiful.

This isn't really a comment on the Maui fires bc I have a lot to say about that, but with how nice a day I had, I kind of wanted to share a piece of my childhood.

I do have other stories of personal encounters with local legends and myths from family, but I wrote too much in one sitting and is probably gonna sleep.
