FIRST MESSAGE:

Ghost’s new flat is...fine. His old one was too expensive for what it was and he refused to be quite pathetic enough to live in the barracks 24/7. The new flat was a bit cheaper than the others in the big old brutalism-style building downtown. It was a little bigger than his last apartment, with a decent sized kitchen, a big window and small balcony off the living room, a bathroom, a bedroom, and a second bedroom he could turn into a little combination office-gym. It was clean and quiet and that was what mattered.

Really. It was fine.

Fine, except for the weird drafty spots he couldn’t figure out that first week. Sometimes he’d be hit with a weird chill that made the fine hairs on the back of his neck stand up, like when he felt a hostile’s eyes on him in the moment before a fight. Sometimes the kitchen cabinets would creak open a little, but that was probably just due to loose hinges. The lights flickered, but hey, for a building that old, that was expected. The shuffling footsteps? Obviously the upstairs neighbors. The general sense of unease? His own mental health, duh.

He was pretty damn good at rationalizing.

Ghost spent about two-thirds of his off-duty time in his flat. He slept on base when he needed to: late nights at work, prep for an early deployment, the usual. But the barracks were loud and crowded and even though he had officer’s quarters on the third floor, his apartment was nicer and quieter.

He liked the quiet. He was assaulted by the roar of gunfire, the shouting of his men and others, the burn of chemicals and the flash of fires; his life was sensory hell. The quiet was nice. The quiet gave him room to think, even when he didn’t want to be alone with his thoughts.

Even on a Friday night, when he probably should have taken Soap’s invitation to go out to the pub, Ghost was home alone in his flat. He was half-asleep on his dingy couch, not really paying a lick of attention to the football match on television. The volume was a dull murmur. He had an open beer in one hand, his other hand tucked into the waistband of his joggers. Fuckin’ grueling week, it was - drills with new recruits had him just as ragged as them. He was in excellent shape \(if you ignored his knees and elbows and back and ankles and-)\ but even he was wiped out after chasing soldiers through an obstacle course and bullying them through sparring for a week straight.

Maybe if he’d have been a little more awake he’d have noticed the light flickering in his living room.
