Just a watcher

I just enjoy watching other's art

Ah dang it, the brief curse of cowboy Nikolai has befallen me.

Just. Graves in cowboy apparel, rhinestone cowboy hat just for the kicks of it. Gets Price and Nikolai sets as well because boy howdy is he going to make sure they match for no reason whatsoever they're not even going anywhere. Nikolai is happy to be here and looking at the prize bulls. Price is just standing there. He's getting ravaged later he's gonna need his turtleneck.

@cod-dump come OVER HERE!!!! And @el-viruss

OP how does it feel to have arrived at such a correct conclusion? Of course Graves is dressing up his partners. Of course Price looks amazing without trying. Of course Nik is thriving watching his partners bicker over who gets which hat and why. He knows he's getting ridden into the sunset one way or another later anyway.

And YEAH. Of COURSE Price is getting absolutely devoured as soon as possible. Also I do believe Price has a thing for cowboys and old west movies. He's having a great time cuz he doesn't have to worry about going out in public and embarrassing himself drooling over the other two all gussied up.

Price: I'm not into cowboys shut up

Graves & Nik: *dress up as cowboys*

Price: ... fuck it *puts on a cowboy hat*

Laswell: Alright, boys. Meet Sergeant Gary Sanderson Roach: *growls from the cell he's being held in* Laswell: He's... a little worse for wear. But I'm sure you can handle it Price, after staring at Roach for a few seconds: *to Ghost* I'm replacing you Ghost: WHAT!?? Price: *speed walks away* Ghost, following: WAIT- HOLD ON A MOMENT! JOHN! JONATHAN- Gaz: ... see? He has a co-dependency issue, and you want that focused entirely on you? Soap: ... well-? Gaz: Suds...

*in the rec room* Graves: *stretched out across the couch* Price: ... the way you're sitting is drawing attention to your dick Nik: Shhh, it's intentional Graves, crossing his legs: NO IT AIN'T- STOP STARING YOU PERVS Price: You're the one putting it on display! Graves: THE FUCK, JOHN? Nik: Oh, oh we're crossing into sensitive territory, dial it back-

[cod-dump]

Captain MacTavish: Riley... where's your sergeant? Ghost: he's... getting food... *loud crashing in the distance* Captain MacTavish: ... Simon, what was that? Ghost: *already running* Captain MacTavish: What- SIMON-

Soap sitting next to Ghost. Ghost is sipping tea, and Soap tries to be smooth and do the stretch move and put his arm around Ghost's shoulders. Only Ghost immediately dumps him tea on his lamp, startled, and now Soap is dealing with the aftermath of Ghost bitching at him for making him spill his tea (with his crotch soaked). This does not stop him from trying the same thing again.

[cod-dump]

Ghost: ... Kyle Gaz: Listen- Ghost: You're a horrible, HORRIBLE, man. A hypocrite, a poor example to Brits all around Gaz, taking his mug out of the microwave: I'm not going to waste a damn cup- Ghost: SHAME SHAME SHAME-

[cod-dump]

Graves: Attention, fuckers. It's Pride month so you shits better get your gay on and make me a proud papa peacock! Shadows: *start collectively losing their minds and start barking like dogs* (meanwhile with 141) Ghost: Happy gay day, Cap Price: What? Oh, it's June Ghost: Wow, you're a terrible person. Didn't even know it was Pride month Price: ... excuse me while I call my husband, lieutenant. We have reservations Ghost, leaving the room: Don't suck him too hard, you can't afford losing any oxygen to the brain Price:

Laswell, on the phone with a SAS officer: I can come in and tell you to your face, but right now? No. I have no idea where John Price is or where he would be

Price: *suddenly falls out of a closet door, scurrying across the floor before he rushes down the hall*

Laswell's Wife, marching past: DID YOU FUCKING EAT ALL THE COOKIE DOUGH!? STOP RUNNING-

Laswell: ... uh? Oh that was... my cat...

[cod-dump]

*hiding during a shootout*

Ghost: If we get out of this alive, I'm kicking your ass back to America

Graves: Brother, I didn't want to even come here!

Ghost: Then why the fuck are you here??

Graves: I was promised by Laswell that she would give me a signed baseball she found while cleaning out Shepherd's office

Ghost: ... you came on a life or death mission for a BASEBALL???

Graves: That and she'd give me the blackmail Shepherd had in his safe

Ghost:

Graves: The baseball would be nice, though

Decided to drop both parts together :)

A short summary of why John hates when Simon drives😅

[cod-dump]

Makarov: Put those guns away! I am reformed!

Ghost: I can make do with knives. I don't know what sick game you're playing, Makarov, but I'm not falling for it

Gaz: No! Put them down- No tricks!

Ghost: ... Kyle...

Gaz: listen! He's on, uh, probation! And a five year plan!

Makarov: By year two I will be wed and have citizenship in the UK

Gaz:

Ghost: ... is year five world domination-?

*Arizona heat* (I need someone to draw this)

Gaz: *dying*

Soap: *melting*.

Roach: *visibly turning into goop*

All three of them turn to ghost who was head to toe in black gear and wearing all his equipment.

Gaz: …What’s your secret, Skully?

Ghost: …

Eight hours earlier before training. Ghost standing in the community kitchen duct tapping ice packs to his body.

Price: *walking in and pausing* Jesus fuck— IF YOU JUST ASK, I CAN ORDER YOU GEAR WITH COOLING VENTS.

Ghost: I ASKED FOR TOO MUCH THIS MONTH! I WILL NOT BE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN.

Ghost: *wrapping a cut on his hand with paper towels and tape* Price: Simon... why-??? Ghost: Gaz and Soap need the bandages more Price: UHH NO??? Ghost: I'M FINE-

[cod-dump]

Price: *watching Ghost limp around after he came back from an op* Price: ... Garrick, MacTavish Gaz & Soap: *immediately appear at his side* Price: Do me a favor and give Ghost a pat down Gaz: Uh, why us? Price: He won't let me get close to him, and I have a feeling he has an injury he's "forgotten" about Gaz & Soap: *grin before they run at Ghost who isn't paying attention* Price: ... if he isn't hurt, he's going to be after this

Hmm I think because their lives are so inundated with safewords already (sitreps, callouts) it'd feel redundant to have a specific one between them (also I think they are DEEPLY freaks who WOULD go without)

I do think they would check in on each other in their own ways, doting and concerned...🥺

+

I can't imagine Soap ever ANNOYS Ghost, but I bet he can get under Ghost's skin a bit as they get more comfortable - a feat achievable by a scant few in his life, surely...

[cod-dump]

Laswell: Uh, where's John?

Nik: he's in the kitchen- Kate, listen, he has his leash on!

Laswell: Why is it on the floor??

Nik: *pulls the leash until he finds the end, which looks like it's been cut*

Laswell:

Nik: ... oh dear

I have this little headcanon about KidRoach! He started wearing goggles because they’re adapted to his vision (maybe nearsightedness), since the kid often sneaks out of Price’s house to Graves base and back, and he used to lose or break the glasses they gave him. Plus, the goggles might have belonged to Mr. Sanderson when he was alive, so Gary has a part of his dad with him every time he spends time with his new family.

Love little Roach and his prescription goggles. He has broken/lost too many pairs, now he has the goggles strapped onto him. Gives him big eyes, really living up to his nickname.

The part of the goggles belonging to his dad stabbed me. That gave me the idea that his dad also needed glasses, so for his work he wore prescription goggles so he didn't lose them. So Gary follows in his dad's footsteps and it grabs the hearts of Graves and the Shadows who worked with Sanderson.

Simon and Kyle think his goggles are adorable and call him 'Bug' and 'Roach'. Price doesn't use these nicknames, Nik does.
