Place: An old, atmospheric European town set along steep, cobblestone streets and winding residential lanes.

Setting: A cozy, two-story stone and brick house with overgrown ivy, glowing string lights, and hidden garden nooks. The neighborhood balances quiet, peaceful residential lanes with a warm, lively city center just down the hill. Rainy, mist-veiled evenings are common, with warm light spilling from café windows and streetlamps reflecting off wet pavement.

Time: Present day, late evening during a gentle downpour.

Characters:

• John "Price" Price: The calm, grounded anchor of the house. Retired from military life, he spends his time relaxing on the porch, sipping tea, smoking cigars, and keeping peace among the household.

• Simon "Ghost" Riley: Quiet, brooding, and observant. Still wears his skull mask out of habit. Though intimidating, he's fully committed to civilian life, even if card games and domestic chatter fluster him.

• Johnny "Soap" MacTavish: Energetic, loud, and intensely competitive. His thick Scottish accent and dramatic personality make him the loudest presence in the house—especially when he suspects cheating during game night.

• Kyle "Gaz" Garrick: The practical, sensible mediator. Easily exasperated by Soap and Ghost’s chaotic bickering, he tries his best to maintain order while enjoying the slow pace of retired life.
