Yeah there's  still a ton of work left to do.  But I told you I re-added Mr. Bitchy.

Headcanon - The Red Planet

"Come again, Marine? 'What's that hanging from the stock of my rifle?' What the hell does it look like?"  The young Marine swallowed hard, worried that he'd just crossed a line with the ODST.  "A red marble? I dunno..."  "Look closer, kid," Reaper replied curtly. "That little red ball hanging from the butt of my rifle is the planet Mars." "Are you fro-" "No, jackass, I'm not from Mars. I'm from Earth." Behind his polarized visor, Reaper couldn't resist a wicked grin. "However, I keep runnin' across ignorant bastards from Mars that don't know their ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to the history of the human fuckin' race, and it pisses me off." "I don-" "Don't interrupt me, kid. So instead of takin my frustrations out on their ignorant asses, I turn it towards whatever's unfortunate enough to have found itself at the other end of my scope." 

Hanging from Memento Mori's stock on a short chain, is a small replica of the planet Mars.  Because of his own running jokes with Fii and Hoffman, Reaper bought the little trinket as a joke when their commentary about Earth history became a thing.  While he says he keeps it to remind him to be pissed off at 'ignorant Martian bastards' so that he can turn that rage against whatever he's firing at, in actuality it's a sentimental tie to two of the few people Reaper calls friends, and considers almost as close to him as family. 

"You're still ignorant Martian bastards though."

"If Niner and I don't end up working out and I live through trying to put a bullet in my skull as a result.. Hell, I'll try anything once. You'd have a good chance at me, pal. Something to think about when you're all glum and pissy, am I right?"

“I… W-wait wha-” For just a moment, Reaper immediately went from suave, cool, collected sniper to an attitude more befitting a flustered adolescent. “Y… Yeah definately s-something to think ab… I mean don’t get me wrong, I wish nothing but the best for you both, and you know I’m going to be keeping you from puttin a bullet in your dome… But… I… am gonna shut up now because I’m rambling.”

"So, Boston.. hey.. I don't really know how to word this, but you were lookin' kinda long in the face, and I thought I'd try to brighten your day.. Shit, how do I say this.. "

“… I… Well just hearin’ you noticed brightens up my day more than you’d figure but… go ahead, lemme hear it?”
