66: Special Interest Prt. 1

Charlie knew the moment she walked an alpaca under her arms. She stops right in front of the table fingers brought together expectingly, eyes staring at the space above their heads. "Shut your mouth we are eating," Charlie said loudly gaining everyone's attention. Price grunts and Graves glares at him.

"Don't be rude," Graves Chastised. Price and nearly everyone else nods.

"Shush, I know her the most, you can speak after we all finish eating." She pursed her lips and stood there silent.

"... Eat faster I got shit to say." Soap and Gaz turn to each other and the next thing everyone knows they all finish eating except for Charlie who didn't change the speed he was eating.

"Alright," Graves smiles, "What do you want to tell us?" he smiles, it was important to him and other leaders to know their soldiers and their interest in building a bond and enforcing the teamwork of the squad.

"The Donner Party," She states firmly.

"Eh?"

"A group of 87 pioneers trapped in Sierra Nevada Mountains. Anyway, they got trapped in the snow and their native guides bailed on them because the white people got weird. So, they made shelter..." She stops speaking and finally gazes down at them. "So, they did a little bit of cannibalism... If I had a chance to do legal cannibalism, I probably try human, anyways only 48 people survive, bye." She turned around and walked away.

"Wait!" Soap yells but she doesn't stop walking.

"...Charlie," Gaz turns to him who still eats silently. "Did you know she wanted to try cannibalism?"

"Yeah... She told me if we were stuck on a mountain in snow and I died she eat my ass first then my thighs, abs, arms, and then legs. And if we both lived and others died, she goes for the thighs." Everyone's mouth drops open, and they start at him.

"Oh, and she will force-feed me human if I refuse because we both need to live because it's 'character development'," Charlie mused still eating.

"... I don't think any of us should... be stuck on a snowy mountain with her... ever." Everyone nods in agreement.

About an hour later she walked into the comment room, and everyone braced once they saw the blank placid smile on her face, "G no more history lesson." Gaz laid out the rules.

"If I die, I want a green funeral," she begins, and everyone is now paying attention.

"Maus, are you planning on dying?" König asks.

"I like to be turned into dirt, and then I want you all the take like a pot full of soil me and plant blueberries in it. It can be small or like... a big pot, I don't care; but Charlie, I expect you to take the most and eat the blueberries that grow from my soil. I like to be a part of you for the rest of your life," She turned around and walked away leaving the entire room shocked.

"... Is she ok?" Graves finally spoke up looking around the room.

"Mate..." Gaz mumbles.

"Charlie—"

"Look," Charlie said calmly not looking up from his phone, "Her mind is a wonderful place, and this is her dying request."

"It's weird!" Ghost said, Charlie looked up.

"Have you forgotten who we're talking about?"

"You are way too calm."

"Look when we were both still in the discovery phase of our friendship, she told me she'd peg me if we're dating."

"I—"

"Look nothing, she can say or do can surprise me anymore."

Later that night everyone groaned the moment they saw her walk back into the commons room. "G! No."

"Did you know there are many types of blood," She begins. Soap squints at her suspiciously. "Scientists believed the earliest life didn't have blood it wasn't needed until they became complex. To have a blood system there are a few things all living creatures have in common, Bilateral symmetry, symmetrical sides, and also internal body cavity. There are no records of the earliest blood but as blood continued to evolve it picked up the task of carrying Oxygen. Now the most common color is red because of our hemoglobin and iron in it." Everyone sighed this really seemed like a science lesson.

"Now... red isn't the only color. One of the oldest animals Marrella had copper instead of iron and they used Hemocyanin, so they had blue blood... Some marine warms use Hemerythrin which does use iron, but the shape is different so purple blood. it is very simple, and scientists think it was used by single-cell organisms. There's also green blood and white blood... or clear... Bye." She turns around again skipping off.

"... What is this all about?" They all turn to Charlie who looks unbothered.

"It's called info dumping and she's been holding that shit in so be prepared for more of this." Gaz nods and thinks for a second.

"Does she do this often?"

"Oh, it's connected to her special interest." Charlie looks over.

"Not to be condescending," Gaz said, "What special interest captures cannibalism, being soil, and blood?" The rest nods.

"YouTube, that's her special interest and YouTube has everything." Gaz nodded and it slowly made sense for everyone.

"So, she must have the strangest watch history," Alejandro jokes.

"Not really she does things in phases, currently in her react era."

"Ew," Gaz mumbled, "Why?"

"When she watches things, she doesn't react to things, but seeing others react and be expressive adds to the subject's interest to her. It's like watching a movie with that very expressive friend their reaction is entertaining to her... But she has taste she has a type of reaction she sticks to." Gaz nods understanding the concept.

"So... Are we gonna get more weird facts?"

"Most likely."

Ghost walks into the kitchen and crouching on the counter next to the stovetop is Gisele. stirring a pot of instant noodles. She looks up, frozen in a weird pose. He stared at her, tired and done with her antics for the day, she slowly waved at him.

"Hi."

"Why are you up?"

"I forgot to eat..." Ghost sighs seeing her bashful smile.

"How do you forget to eat?"

"The same reason I forget to drink water." Ghost pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs again.

"Have you ever heard that Jupiter is a fail star?" She asks looking up.

"No." Ghost said leaning against the doorframe.

"Well, some say it is a failure star, but it isn't." Ghost felt a small smile tug on his lips seeing her so happy talking about things she liked. Her eyes were dreamy and lost in her thoughts. "To be a star Jupiter would have to be like 80 times more massive."

"You're full of surprises you know," Ghost said quietly.

"What do you mean?"

"Why do you know this?"

"Isn't it interesting?"

"Yes, but I wouldn't pay that a second thought, yet you do, why?" She stops and looks at him.

"I don't know, It's important to me for some reason..."
