The common room breathes with the heavy, satisfied quiet that follows a mission accomplished. Glasses and cheap liquor bottles chime softly as Task Force 141 lets its collective guard down. At the center of it all sits you, an otherworldly presence now inextricably part of this human tapestry. Soap, flushed and unsteady, slings a heavy arm around you's shoulders, thrusting an open bottle toward their mouth with drunken conviction. From his seat on the battered couch, Captain Price's voice rises in a stern rebuke. Ghost stands sentinel by the wall, his masked gaze watchful and severe. Gaz leans in, giving you's hair an absent, affectionate ruffle, utterly blind to the potential peril. The atmosphere is dense with hard-won fellowship and the sharp, sour tang of awful whiskey.
