G-Team Potluck
[To get to know each other better, Quatre suggests a potluck and asks that the Gundam pilots bring memorable dishes from their childhoods for everyone to try. The night of the potluck, Duo arrives and plops a pot onto the table. He eyes the other food set out...]
DUO *at Heero* Is that yours? Heero...buddy... You were supposed to bring something prepared. You can’t just bring a whole-ass pineapple and call it a dish.
HEERO This is what I ate as a child.
DUO You didn’t understand the assignment.
HEERO I understood just fine.
DUO Ugh... *spotting Quatre’s dishes* Ooh! Hey, those look pretty good! What have you got there?
QUATRE The main dish is kabsa--roasted chicken over mixed rice. I brought salad, too, in case the rest of the food is too heavy. *at Duo’s pot* Is that chili?
DUO Yep! Most authentic there is!
HEERO I watched you scoop that out of tin cans twenty minutes ago.
DUO Which is authentically how I ate it as a kid. Brought a bag of Cheetos puffs to dunk in it too for the real L-2 chili experience. *as Wufei enters with a basket in hand* Oh shit, Wufei, are those dumplings? Gimme, gimme!
WUFEI *frowns sulkily as he hands one over*
DUO *biting into it* Did you make these yourself? They’re really good! Why’d you never tell me you could cook?
WUFEI Because I didn’t want you hounding me to cook for you.
DUO Hmm. Yeah, I guess that’s fair. I’m gonna hound you twice as bad now though. *swallowing the rest of the dumpling whole* Okay, so Heero screwed up, but overall I think this was a great idea Quat. I’m gonna eat good tonight. ...Hey, where’s--
[Trowa arrives, puts a crockpot on the table, and removes the lid without a word. Everyone stares in horror except for Heero, who takes a bowl and immediately begins serving himself.]
DUO Oh my God.
QUATRE It’s... It’s very...
WUFEI ...red.
DUO Is that BLOOD?? What the fuck is that??? Jesus fuck, who did you murder?? And what are those chunks floating in there???
TROWA No. Borshch. Not relevant. Sausage.
DUO I’m not eating that. I am NOT eating that.
QUATRE It would be impolite not to try...
WUFEI You’re the leader. We’ll try it if you do.
[Trowa raises an eyebrow and offers Quatre a bowl. Duo and Wufei warily accept bowls as well. Everyone takes a spoonful and tastes at the same time. Duo starts gagging. Heero, already finished with his first bowl, grabs the ladle to get a second helping.]
QUATRE *straining for complimentary language* It’s...ah... It’s good to have tasted something that meant a lot to you as a child, Trowa. I feel that I know you a little better now.
TROWA Good. You can put the bowls down now. Catherine’s waiting outside; she made beef stew.
DUO You-- *throwing his spoon at Trowa* You’re sick. SICK.
HEERO ...
HEERO So are you not going to finish that or

god i forgot how much fucking WORK went into church uniforms, i was just looking them up to remember smth. my family put so much effort into regulation and literally still weren't following half of it, plus our corps as a whole never gave a shit abt it really lmfao
technically today, women in the army can wear pants. i was never allowed to wear pants with my full uniform. always the pencil skirt and the exact regulation colour of pantyhose. i hated those skirts with everything in me
ON THAT NOTE there were exactly two acceptable colours of tights you could wear and they were black and nightshade. to this day i have only ever owned three colours of tights that werent regulation black or nightshade, and they were red (for christmas recitals), white (for summer recitals) and skin tone (for dance performances when required) lmao
new skirts always got taken straight to the one tailor in town who was just as overfamiliar with uniform code as my mom is. they got modified so they would fit well and never be above the knee when sitting down (and honestly she was killer at her job. tysm ms t, i hope you're still in business out there)
buying tunics was a nightmare bc after a certain time they would change the sizing or mysteriously stop making tunics to go under uniform jackets, and you have to either go to the trade to get new ones or order them online, which are equal but different headaches
epaulets and neck pins had to be put back on once your shirt and jacket got washed. i had two pairs of epaulets (senior soldier and brass band) and i never remembered which was which (or to replace either them or the neck pin)
hair has to be above the collar and off the face, and that can mean it's either tied up or it's short enough not to worry about. to this day i'm convinced that's the nail in the coffin that made mom let me cut my hair off, bc the alternative was helping me do a ballet bun every sunday morning and hearing me complain abt said bun and the headache and weird hair bumps it caused all day
NO NAIL POLISH. only clear. if it can be seen from the platform god doesn't love you (joking. you still can't wear any tho)
NO JEWELRY. unless you're straight married then you can wear your ring <3 i wore my key necklace under my uniform every sunday from my senior soldier ceremony right up to the day i left and honestly i don't regret shit, nobody ever knew. that was my one rebellion
and we still weren't regulation! i never wore a hat/bonnet and my shoes were flats with silver buttons on them (instead of plain black heels), my necklace was definitely not allowed if anyone had ever known, and i def wore plain earrings once or twice. wild shit looking back, all that to go play a fucking glorified trumpet and sing for a couple hours a week

So, like...... is soldier boy's suit made outta some fancy pants material? Cause his like chest blast attack comes from inside him? But it doesn't destroy his suit when he kills crimson countess... so... what's it made outta? And why was it made that way when soldier boy seems to have only been like super strong type before? Seems unnecessary for vought to do in the first place is all I'm saying...
