I think Simon Riley has erectile dysfunction, and I don’t think people are ready for this.

Or makes the reader like something like for example “pickles” (I’m a huge fan of pickles but I know everyone isn’t). Even worse imo when the writer does that and it’s a series, like now I can’t imagine it’s myself in the series and now I personally can’t read it :/

cw: none just thoughts

Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley wouldn’t be prepared whatsoever. His flat is so unfurnished it looks like someone moved and left their bug infested stuff behind. Second the power goes out he’d go out and buy some bags of ice to put in his freezer for whatever food he even has. His bathroom wouldn’t save him because the water would come up from his pipes. Forgets every time it happens the he seriously needs to fix it. If there was a tornado watch/warning he’d probably look around and if it looked serious enough he’d drive over to base.

‘Cpt’ John Price would already be outside ready to watch it before it even comes. Something about feeling it in his achy joints. If there was a power outage he probably wouldn’t even think of his food going bad. Too focused on how the storm looks. He sits on the porch watching the rain pound down on his neighbor’s roof and how it makes such a loud sound. There is no way they sleep at night when it’s raining it’s so loud. If there was a tornado watch/warning there would be no convincing that would make him come down to the basement. Unless the tornado is in front of him.

Kyle ‘Gaz’ Garrick most likely has a small finished basement he’d hang out in. It would be a finished basement that has a room or two and maybe some gym equipment. He would definitely brag about it being “the perfect shelter” even though it barely fits him and his missus. Just big enough to go down in and have some blankets and pillows just in case he falls asleep down there. If there was a tornado watch/warning though he’d be so focused on getting the food secured and moving his gym equipment over to shelter himself that he’d stub his toe. Complains about it the next day just for everyone to laugh at him for it.

John ‘Soap’ MacTavish wouldn’t have a basement but rather a bathroom. Over in his homeland, they don’t get many big storms worthy of tornadoes due to them being on the coastline. So he doesn’t worry about it much. But if they did get an alarming storm, he would grab a pillow, blanket, some snacks and set his way off to the bathroom with his pet chinchilla… just for his power to come back on maybe 5 minutes later and the storm to die down. (Deep inside he wishes the storm would be worse so he could sleep in his bathtub while watching some rubbish on YouTube)
