Where do I think the MW2 cast live?
Headcanons on locations and what their homes look like :)
Alejandro, Gaz, Ghost, Graves, König, Price, Ruddy, Soap
A/N: I always list characters in alphabetical order because any other order makes my brain itch 🤷
~~~~~
Alejandro
He has a moderate sized house not too far outside of Las Almas
In game he didn't tell Soap where his family is to protect them so it makes sense he'd keep them distant from Las Almas for their safety
It's a big house
You two get plenty of space to keep your stuff and the spare rooms are for visiting friends and family
He fills every wall he can with photos of you, his family, and his friends
Overall his house is very cozy with soft seats and nice wooden furniture
But he also decorates with his heart, there are sentimental items throughout the house
Gaz
A small London apartment
His accent screams London and I think city life suits him
London prices are high so the apartment has only the space you need, no spares rooms except for a home office if you need one
Gaz has a driving license but doesn't have a car because he is too use to the convenience of London public transport, there's a bus stop right outside the building
His decorating style is clothes on the floor 😮💨
The guarantee is really good electronics
Nice TV, fancy coffe machine, roomba
This guy even owns an air fryer
Ghost
Outskirt of a village or a remote location
Simon is from Manchester but following his childhood there I don't think he'd be happy living there
I also can't imagine him enjoying bustling cities or even towns
He's a private man and he wants to keep you safe so having more than five neighbours is a no-go
His decorating skills are non existent
You have to decorate and he'll just help you assemble furniture
Has one room in the house with no windows and it's just filled with blankets and pillows, he does not explain this and you just have to accept it's there
Graves
This is entirely because I love the idea, a ranch
Or maybe if I'm being more realistic it's a decent sized house in a suburban area
But the ranch idea is more fun so let's work with that
It's about a forty minute drive from the nearest city
It's a really big place, bigger than it needs to be
On enof those where the garage is separate to the main house
The bedroom has a giant bed and en suite bathroom
His kitchen has a table that seats more people than you know
Giant TV in front of the comfiest sofa you've ever experienced
He loves you and spoils you so he wants you to live in luxury
König
Welcome to: I know a lot about Europe except for Austria!
König had a bit of trouble while looking for places to live because he's too tall for doorways
I was looking at the standard door height in most countries and the highest was 6'8". Poor guy.
Door issue aside he'd like his privacy and he has social anxiety so I think he'd be another city hater
His house is probably big but it doesn't feel like it
1) because he's massive and so everything seems small in comparison
2) he's a fan of organised mess
Something about filling a house to the brim with stuff you like and definitely need is soothing
And you can't call it a mess because according to him everything is organised
How else would he know where everything is?
Price
His home country of Herefordshire (I don't blame him, the place is nice)
I don't think we ever learn where in Herefordshire he is from so I'll presume he was from the city of Hereford and I can't see him living there still
It's a nice city but the villages are nicer but there is another reason
Price was part of the SAS (Special Air Service) which is based in Hereford. More specifically the base is just outside the village of Creden Hill.
His house has such a comforting vibe to it
The low ceilings with the wooden beams
Wooden flooring with a really soft rug
Sofas with lovely cushions and throw blankets
10/10 I love village houses (biased)
Ruddy
In Olmeda, Las Almas
I think Ruddy would be in a similar mindset of Alejandro in regards to keeping his S/O a secret and Olemda doesn't receive too much cartel activity
For reference Olemda is the town in the campaign during the mission hardpoint... The one you mostly blow up using a helicopter. Whoops
Asides from that little incident the town isn't too far from Las Almas and isn't entirely ravaged by the cartel
The most lived in room in the kitchen
You too cool together and eat together and then sit at the table and just talk for hours
Because of this the kitchen is the most loved room
Soap
One of the towns outside of Glasgow
I don't know from which part of Scotland Soap is from but I feel like he likes Glasgow
One of the few guys on this list aside from Gaz who likes living in cities
There's more shops and they're easier to get around. Oh, and more restaurants! (He can hardly take you to a restaurant for a date if there aren't any around)
He knows your neighbour's names, how many pets they have, and when they last went on holiday
He spends a lot of time on the front garden just talking to them when they bump into each other
I hate to say this but he probably has a "Man-Cave" but it's a cool room and he asks you to spend time in there with him
It has a darts board, how could you say no??

"Quaeram te, Domine, invocans te et invocem te credens te" (I want, Lord, to seek you by invoking you and to invoke you by believing in you). But what does it mean to invoke or to praise by invoking, if not to call God to come into myself, "in me ipsum eum invocabo, cum invocabo ipsum"? This coming of God into myself, which turns out to be the sole posture praise can adopt, supposes that I myself have the status of an open place for God to come into; but who am I to pretend to constitute a place when faced with God? "Et quis locus est in me, quo veniat in me Deus meus? Quo Deus veniat in me, Deus, qui 'fecit caelum et terram'?" (And what place is there in me where my God might come into me? In what corner would God come into me, God "who made heaven and earth"?).
A contradiction arises here: I have no other place in me besides the one that God made; therefore God cannot come into me without my first coming into him or discovering myself always already in him: I am not a place for God; rather I take place in him. Praise cannot ask God to come into me, since I do not have a place to offer to him, where he would dwell as in his temple. In fact, of place, I have none other besides him, or more simply, besides the place that he himself has set up for me by creating heaven and earth. If praise there must be, it will call for an impossibility—that I come, myself, into his very own place, God—to wit, into God himself. "Et ego, quid peto, ut venias in me, qui non essem, nisi esses in me? . . . Non ergo essem, nisi esses in me, an potius non essem, nisi essem in te, 'ex quo omnia, per quem omnia, in quo omnia'" (And what is it that I imagine I am asking when I ask that you come into me, me who would not be if you were not in me? . . . For I would not be if you were not in me, or rather I would not be if I was not in you, you "from whom all things come, by whom all things were made, in whom all things reside".

is it true that Henry and Margaret had a special token between them during the war to communicate? I think I read it in Helen Maurer's book but I can't recollect
Hi!
Gregory's Chronicle does mention something like that! Apparently, the Yorkists had tried to lure Margaret to London after the Battle of Northampton in 1460 by sending her “conterfete tokyns” that were supposedly coming from the king, but her servants “bade hyr bewared of the tokyns, that she gave noo credens there too”.
Of course, we don't know if this actually happened (imo, it seems more likely than not), and it's not exactly the same thing as having a special token solely between them to communicate, but it's still very interesting and one of my favourite minor details in this phase of the war <3
