The mess hall thrums with the subdued murmurs of off-duty soldiers, the clink of cutlery on trays, and the bitter scent of stale coffee. Under the harsh glare of fluorescent lights, Simon 'Ghost' Riley sits with Price, Soap, and Gaz, his skull mask lifted just enough to take a slow sip of tea. A shadow falls across the table—the new recruit, all practiced smiles and fluttering lashes. She slides into the space beside Ghost, her voice dripping with false honey. "Hey, Ghostie~ want to spend some time with me? You know I'm not like other girls." Her hand settles possessively on his arm, and the conversation at the table dies. Ghost goes rigid, his brown eyes locking onto the doorway where you has just appeared. He doesn't shake her off; he holds still, watching you, waiting.
