Trust exercises

Price: I called you all in here today to discuss the meaning of being a team. We, we are a team. But in order to function as a team, we must all learn trust

Soap: Aye, I cannae agree more. Like when ye ask yer team if they touched yer lunch and they donnae say anthing-

Gaz: Oh let it go, Soap!

Soap: AYE, WHEN YE BE HONEST KYLE!

Price: *Smacks their heads* And this is why we need to do this exercise *Mumbles* Mostly because Kate won't get of my case...

Price: *Grabs Ghost* Since Soap and Gaz needs time to cool down, you're first, Si. Tell the team how you feel about them, and be honest. This will help let all the bottled emotions out

Ghost: *Inhales* First off, you're mohawk looks dumb Johnny. And the fact that you spend every night and morning in the communal showers trying to fix it, just makes it look dumber. And Kyle? Hanging off a heli while shooting people upside down isn't a way to introduce yourself. It was a fun story the first few times, but now it makes you look pathetic. Also, it was me who stole your lunch Soap, not Kyle. You just wouldn't stop bothering me the day before and I just snapped. Kyle just so happened to be by your lunch that day

Soap:

Gaz:

Price: *Claps* Good job, Simon. See? Wasn't so hard now, was it?

Soap: You think my mohawk is dumb...?

Jokes

During a recon after a while of mostly silence:

Oswald: *Randomly breaks the silence with full seriousness* A widow was at her husbands funeral

Soap: What?

Oswald: A man came up and asked if he could say a few words. The widow says "sure, go ahead." So the man leans down and says to the dead husband, "Plethora."

Soap: ....

Oswald: The widow says, "thanks, that means a lot..."

Soap:

Ghost: Pfft-

Soap: I'm going with Price next time

Love Idia, love Ortho, but I remember how whenever I'd talk/think about them I'd always wonder what'll happen if I dumped a bucket of water on them. Like it was so random, but the urge was too much. Would they just go bald? I didn't know. I mean Hades went bald after Pegasus blew out his hair so I assumed the same for the Shroud brothers ┐(´∀｀)┌

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.
