:::::since i'm on topic anyway
:::::if someone writes douchebag hotshot triplets as anywhere even remotely inclined to meditate, then they're projecting shitty orientalist ideas on them (of the WOOO~*~ MYSTIC CHINESE PEOPLE~*~ kind) instead of taking them for the characters they are
:::::unless the fic is about them getting in touch with their spirituality?? which they would fail pretty hard at tbqh)
:::::what i'm saying is that the character most likely to meditate in PR canon is stacker pentecost
:::::#the topic being how much of a gigantic problem i have with this fandom basically 24/7, #pacrim meta
::::Stacker would. Mako would try out of respect and fail so hard. So, so hard.
:::HAHAHA THAT’S HOW I SEE IT TOO
:::young mako getting upset because she can’t figure out hOW DOES SENSEI SIT STILL FOR SO LONG and the trips are like yeah we can’t do it either… don’t sweat it too much… even if you fall asleep as long as you don’t fall OVER no one can tell…
::Let's be real. The triplets are three separate significant reasons stacker meditates.

Upon entering the biodome, sunbeams drive pins into Mǐn's eyes. The breeze shrieks, the leaves scream, the flowers backfire like motorcycles—
Mǐn trips over a pair of legs. 「What're you guys doing?」 she asks.
Jin snuffles.
「Meditating,」 says Hu.
Cheung stares.
「You're meditating.」
Jin mumbles and rolls over.
「Yes.」
Cheung keeps staring.
「Right, well you guys keep 'meditating'; I'm going to go—」 Mǐn waves. 「—over /somewhere and be not reading.」
Jin sighs.
「Would you like to be not reading here?」
Cheung hasn't blinked for at least a minute.
「He's asleep, isn't he.」 Mǐn steps over Jin and gingerly sits down.
「Lasted a whole two minutes.」
「And Jin?」
「He fell over and never got up.」
「Impressive.」 Mǐn crosses her left leg—her right protests—and drops her head to her ankle.
「You okay?」
The darkness feels incredibly nice. Apparently she misread 'find a dark hole and hide' as 'peace and quiet'.
「Migraine.」
「Not parking shuttle verb wellington?」
「Not really, no.」
「I was just saying gibberish.」
「I'm starching your underwear.」
「Go ahead. I'll switch with ... one of these guys.」
「You already do that to the point there's no distinction.」
「Dammit. I knew there was a reason I was nice to you.」
「What, not because I'm barely related to you?」
Mǐn's phone vibrates.
「I'm related to these guys and I'm not nice to them.」
coffee_choi: Ey 1/4master seen your team lately?
「Wanna come up with a more convincing lie than that?」
Yeung_(TM): With them now
「Yea, that was dumb.」
[TSE_ID]: NE reason Pentecost skipped sugar in his tea? 
「Here's one, 'Marshal Pentecost plus triplets: Discuss.' 」
「I don't know what you're talking about.」
「How about, is there a reason you guys are trying for brownie points with the Marshal?」 
「Of course not,」 scoffs Hu. 「Meditating is good for ... /stuff, right?」  
「Which one of you said he was as transparent as a jellyfish?」
「That was Jin.」
「So you're doing the Ghost Drift thing?」
「Apparently.」
「Is there room for interpretation?」
「Yard arm duty, Mako came along?」
「And?」
Yeung_(TM): Mori's involved. Stay clear of the east.
「And we were maybe spelling things out with shipping containers?」
Okay then.
「And they may not have been the most polite things?」
Mǐn stands.「I just remembered I have coffee to make. Bye!」
Yeung_(TM): We're gonna need a new Typhoon team
「Mǐn, where're you—you can't just leave us!」
[TSE_ID]: Pls tell me u r running.
「Have fun!」
「Shit! Cheung, Jin, get up—the Marshal's back; we are /so screwed ....」
