Impossible Dream

I already asked about Kim, but how would the GFH, old and new, feel about Cap in Dep's uniform?

All GfH reacting to Cap in Rook’s uniform

Sharky ~ He tears up and looks away, tugging his hat over his eyes. He walks off, mumbling about ‘hearing someone needing him’ even if no one’s around. If Cap asks what’s wrong, he’ll need a drink or a few but he’ll tell every stupid thing that he and Rook did

Hurk ~ He slows down whatever he was talking about and trails off before fiddling with something in his hands. If asked what’s wrong, he’ll simply say ‘someone awesome as balls wore that outfit’

Nick ~ He tears up and sniffles a bit before refocusing on a piece of machinery. He’s just got too many memories with Rook, he could talk about Rook for hours. He just has so much praise and respect for Rook

Jerome ~ He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes, saying a small prayer under his breath. He’s more than happy to share stories with Cap and has a sense of longing throughout the entire storytelling.

Pratt ~ He openly breaks down. Rook saved him and ended up being so close to him by the end of it, he can’t help it. He’ll tell stories if asked but he’s gonna need a box of tissues.

Judge ~ They go completely still and stare blankly at Cap. It makes Cap uncomfortable and Judge just reached out, gently patting their shoulder as they continue to stare. Cap isn’t sure what’s going on through their mind but they get a sense of longing and almost a sense of remembering another time from them

Grace ~ She can’t see the details, but she recognizes the folds and the sound of fabric. It brings a tear to her eye and she tugs her hat down to hide it. She’ll share stories if asked but she’ll need a drink during it

Nana ~ She didn’t meet Rook personally, but the others in the bunker with her shared stories of how Rook helped them in some way. She definitely respects them, though, even if she didn’t meet them.

Carmina ~ She obviously didn’t know Rook personally but her parents told her a lot of stories about them and how they delivered Kim to the midwife to birth her safely. She feels almost torn, though. Is wearing a replica of such a famous person’s outfit respectful or not?

Jess ~ The second she sees a practical stranger wearing that outfit, she tears up and starts wiping her cheeks as the tears roll. Rook helped her through so much and seeing that outfit again just brings back all the memories.

Gina ~ She didn’t know Rook, but she had heard of them through stories and rumors. She doesn’t really feel anything for them, they sounded awfully badass though and Cap’s badass so it suits them

Hudson ~ She tears up and sniffles several times before trying to contain herself. By the end of it, she was proud to stand side-by-side with them. She really trusted and cared for them.

Adelaide ~ She’s the most emotional out of the group, surprisingly. She starts crying and yells at them to take it off, it’s not theirs. Xander calms her down and guides her away while telling Cap it’s not their fault.

“What’s the point of all this?” Echo pulled a tie from the drawer and looked it over, tilting her head, “The pattern is nice, but I don’t really see the point of putting it on myself.”

“Well, tragically, ma colombe, not all of us look as good naked as you,” said Maximilien, leaning on the wall and watching as she rifled through his closet. There was a manic methodicalness about it, almost like she was looking for something, but wasn’t sure what she was looking for. 

“You keep saying ‘naked,’” Echo said with a chuckle, “How can something not even meant to have clothes be naked? Is a supercollider naked? Is the space station naked?”

“Well I don’t see anything wrong with appreciating a good suit,” said Max, folding his arms.

“It doesn’t interfere with your heat venting?” Echo tilted her head.

“The only omnics that should worry about heat-venting are…” Max glanced off, “…Labor units.”

“It’s all the same frame, isn’t it?”

“I’m not—” Max caught himself, “I’m a businessman.”

“A business-omnic,” Echo said brightly. He loved and hated the way she said ‘omnic.’ It was so matter of fact and natural to her when for the rest of the world the word had been a boot on the side of his head, pinning him to the ground. 

Echo stepped up to him and fiddled with his collar, flipping it up. He wondered if she knew that bothered him or if she was just being curious like with everything else. Probably the former.

“It is the same frame,” Max admitted, not meeting her eyes, “You take away the suits, the ties, the cufflinks, the shoes… there’s very little that stands between me and a ditch-digger.”

“Hm,” Echo unbuttoned the top button of his collar and loosened his tie.

“Forward,” said Max, putting his hands on his hips as she kept unbuttoning.

“You’ve been around humans too long,” said Echo, smirking, “Just bear with me.”

She parted his shirt, baring the metal of his chassis, and turned him around to face the mirror in his closet. “What do you see?”

“…basic Omnic frame,” said Max, dropping one hand from his hip with indifference, “One of millions.” 

“No, it’s your frame,” said Echo, putting her hand on his shoulder, “How many ditch-diggers would build a casino when it’s not even legal for Omnics to gamble?”

“…This ditch-digger,” said Max, looking at his own reflection.

“On the right track,” said Echo, smiling.

“Well if you get to undress me, perhaps you’ll permit–” Maximilien pulled his tie off.

“What?” said Echo

Max looped the tie over Echo’s head, re-fastening the knot around her neck. They both looked back at the mirror. Echo glanced down at the tie around her neck and then back at Max, arching an eyebrow. “See?” said Max, “It is a good look.”

Echo snickered and elbowed him.
