Ghost and Soap are on a mission in the middle of absolutely nowhere, Nothing to see but Trees and Rocks and the occasional Grasshopper. I think they're supposed to be looking for something, but their goal is irrelevant at this moment. Right now Soap is hard focused on not tripping on all these roots from the trees (he's tripped 4 times already) (Ghost counted 6 times actually). So Soap is staring at the ground, obviously not having his FULL attention on it, have to stay aware of his surroundings, but most of his focus is on mapping the ground he's walking on. Because Ghost keeps fucking laughing at him everytime he trips.
Soap tripped on ANOTHER root, and of course Ghost chuckled at him, to which Soap shouted "JOE MAMA" at him, shutting Ghost up. Win. Except suddenly something else caught Soap's attention on the ground.
He got down on his hands and knees and started shoveling handfuls of acorns into his mouth. Ghoth stared.
"Ah OUUUUUFFF aorsh." says Soap through a mouthfull of acorns (he said he loves acorns). Ghost still just stared at him because this was like, really really weird. Soap was still just shoving acorns into his mouth and chewing them loudly and crunchily before eating them. He was eating acorns and Ghost was just watching. Soap decided to pause in his acorn devouring to take a breather and offer one single acorn to Ghost, holding it out in his hand.
"Try one, they're sooooo delicious." Soap said with a quirked up eyebrow. Ghost blinked two and a half times before slowly accepting the acorn, looking at it, and deciding to pop it into his mouth. The shell didn't taste like much but dirt. So he bit down. And chewed it, trying to keep his face neutral, because even though he wears a mask his eyes have a lot of expression sometimes.
It was really gross but Ghost ate it anyway. This was certainly an experience. Soap offered him another one, to which he said "No thanks man I'm full." and Soap shrugged and said "More for me then." and continued to chow down on some acorns.
"We should move on." said Ghost, desperate for Soap to stop eating so many acorns. He should leave some for the squirrels at least. "Let's stop eating acorns and focus on what we need to do." He said Sternly.
"Oh. ok" says Soap and he gets up and brushes dirt off his pants. They continue walking and Soap trips on a root again (this makes 8 times), cursing to himself loudly. Ghost didn't even pay attention to it he was still thinking about the weird acorn thing. Hopefully it won't get brought up again. Because it was really weird.
And they lived :) The End.
