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-
The unheard poet [noun, presumably french origin] refers to a character who hides many words unspoken under their tongue. they have chosen to purposefully hide these words and abandoned the thought of ever letting them flow up to the surface. despite that, they tend to be very outgoing and friendly, speaking their mind and laughing at the stupidest of things whenever they can, yet there's an eerie feeling to their gaze, as none might know what they truly think of the world presented to them. the unheard poets often think of themselves as beasts with two faces, the side they show to the world never being one of their liking. they carefully craft their facade while bottling up what they truly want to say - they are people with beautiful minds, minds that deserve to be spoken out, that are purposefully hidden away due to their fear of people leaving them behind for who they are. they are the ones to attempt in molding their personality to whatever their companions want to see them as to the point where they forget which one of their 'selves' was the original poet - still as unheard and as beautiful as before. there might just be the only way to escape the tragic nature of an unheard poet and that is acceptance. - a fellow unheard poet
The Midnight Lover
The midnight lover [noun, german origin] refers to a character that believes their final destination is a second place. they are always there when people need them, but they are never their first choice, merely the one to talk to at midnight when one is the most honest, just to be thrown away the morning after (hence why they're called a midnight lover). midnight lovers love too much, fall too deep and land to hard for anyone and everyone they appreciate, but they never seem to get their love back in the way they'd want, forever united by the dreadful second place in people's lives. many take advantage of midnight lovers, using their heart that's always there to listen as something they can dump all their problems on, not acknowledging that their heart is just as fragile as any other. still, midnight lovers listen and comfort and give their all no matter it draining them - sometimes it's truly astonishing how much love they're able to store within themselves. all midnight lovers long for is to be perceived as something more than 'the second resort', though many struggle to realize their already achieved significance in eyes of others. who knows, many (or majority) may haven't ever been a second choice, they were just lead to believe so via people not treating them accordingly. as a certain saying goes, "one not worthy of your love should not be able to spend it." - a fellow midnight lover
The Tide
The tide [noun, german origin] refers to a character that considers silence the most powerful weapon of them all. they believe that in silence, there lies no agreement nor disagreement, simply the passive ability to listen. the tides are the ones to believe that there's no use in fighting for their opinion and consider the opinion as itself vastly unimportant in comparison to the rest - they are calm, collected and never let emotions overtake them, at least, not in front of others. some would call them cold, yet that'd be a mistake - there's a great fire that lies behind the facade of the nature of the tides, fire that someone, something set off in them long time ago that refuses to die down. this fire only grows stronger with each minute of the prevailing silence they pretend to thrive in and it is only a matter of time this fire burns them to their core and then...well, only tides know what will happen then. perhaps they'll scream, perhaps they'll cry, desperately trying to tell the world what misery lies in their silence that is not to be broken since no-one would listen to them either way and still, they'd be so beautifully incorrect. there's plenty of stories tides have to tell and even more that shall be listened to - they just need to let people submerge in their water. - a (former) fellow tide
The False Muse
The false muse [noun, latin origin] refers to a character that attempts to be perfect in order to receive certain amount of praise, or to inspire others to go in their footsteps. they tend to seek the spotlight, the podium, the gaze of the people looking up to them, with praise and validation being what keeps them pursuing the way of living they did before. the false muses surely have their goals, but the biggest one is to simply be better than yesterday and worse than tomorrow, to be in a constant state of self improvement they'll never deem enough. this is what leads them to the ocassional state of burnout, state one may describe as trying so hard to please the artist you become the opposite of a muse - hence why they're called false ones. the false muses might be tempted to think that they've never achieved perfection, but the truth is, there's no such thing as perfection, nor is there a way to achieve it. all muses could long for is merely the perfect version of themselves and they've achieved that already, over a thousand times.
The Icarus
The icarus [noun, greek origin] refers to a character, first curious and childish, who got so bored of the world's rotten nature they lost all hope in living. as the last resort to find the spark in the world of dying stars, the icarus may have attempted numerous times to touch the blazing surface of the sun, hoping to see any kind of redemption in the reflection of their face in the sun's flames. as a result, their wings were melted down and their bones broken by the harsh landing, yet that still didn't stop them from trying all over again. the people of icarus' nature often believe their place is with the stars and their desire to burn amongst them causes them to forget the beauty of the land they've abandoned, merely flying over it - the world has stored so much beauty for them they often struggle to see through the rays of sun and yet, it is still there. the most beautiful of flowers grow upon the lands their feet haven't even touched and maybe, just maybe, if they spared a bit of their time to give the (them forsaken) world another chance, they'd see that sky might not be the home they truly desire, but one they've seeked just because they have seen only the worst of the world. - a fellow icarus
accomplished, you rest, knowing you have earned this long sleep.
I do see her dying like this. Oz blieved she's lived long enough and would accept it. Being Captain, her only goal is her mission and keeping her team safe. As long as they're safe, she's fine.
Contented.
accomplished, you rest, knowing you have earned this long sleep.
Death had always been part of the job. He'd seen enough comrades die and knew he lived a content enough life. He'd die smoking one last cigarette before accepting his inevitable fate.
In Betrayal.
you trusted, and now you must pay the price... your final word is a half-whispered question, "why?"
DICE had lived a life full of struggle and betrayal. He struggles to trust others, but once he does, he'll start to slip up.
Unfinished.
cut down too soon, questions unanswered, desires unfulfilled... what a tragedy you are.
Unlike the rest, Mana never liked dying either it be others or himself. He always saw himself living out this job and retiring out somewhere on the beach. Never did he want it to end like this.
