[The video began with an armorless Tucker looking vaguely worried; he wasn't exactly the best at hiding what he felt at any given moment, either with or without the helmet. Now? Now was no exception.

He cleared his throat. Sure.]

Hey, so exactly how bad would it be to be put on an Active Threat List? Like on a scale of one-to-ten?

[Nope. Not guilty at all. Nope. He didn't do anything wrong.]

Tooootally asking for a friend. Yep.

[Because he was friends with himself, dammit, so it wasn't untrue.

Crap.]

[ Enjoy the stereo of hearing Church scream shouting into his phone from the other end of the house. ]

What the fuck did you do?!

[Voice/action]

[lovernotafighter]

[Don't mind him as he got up from his bed and locked the door. He had a feeling that a lot of people were about to come in and kick his ass.]

Why do you assume it's me?! Maybe I'm really asking for a friend!

[knifecollecting]

Last time there was one, several people got murdered. Including a few kids.

Video

[lovernotafighter]

Well, fuck.

[Yeah, so much about that whole "asking for a friend" thing. Brown eyes skittered to the side before back to the camera, the whole thing just screaming of nervousness.]

So, I'm -- um, my friend -- should probably go into witness protection?

[Video]

[lifetothefullest]

That depends on what happens. Last time this was an issue it mattered very little who was actually on the list, unless they intended to avoid the fighting entirely.

[But he's more interested in--]

Did you get put on it? How?

[He presumes this has to do with Name, but would like to hear the story here.]

[Video]

[lovernotafighter]

Avoiding fighting? That's an option?!

[Not that it really was, not with Tucker; as much as he tried to avoid it, it always seemed to follow after him like a lost puppy. But hey, a guy can dream, right?]

Why does everyone think it's me?! [But shit, fine. Fine.]

I just asked that Name if we could fuck up the rest of the Null like it was fucked up, so nothing would want to fight anymore. Like, with a virus or whatever's wrong with it. Figured that if it was really against them, then it'd help us, and if not, then we'd know.

[dedikated]

Means more of the Null try to kill you next time they turn up.

[lovernotafighter]

heeeey it's totally not me. it's my friend.

[Sure it is.]

like how many more? 2? 3?

[utulien_aure]

One becomes used to it, after a time. Why are you concerned?

Video

[lovernotafighter]

Wait, so have you been on it for a awhile? [Yes! This was what he was talking about!]

Can you give me--my friend some tips? I mean, he's totally kick ass so he should be fine, but you know, just in case.

[othlir]

[ There's the tail-end of some laughter here, and a bit of a sigh. ]

Well, considering what happens to things on "Threat Lists", it's not very good.

What'd "your friend" do, if you don't mind my asking?

audio;

[lovernotafighter]

[Everyone's reactions were totally not instilling a good sense of confidence in him, just so you know.]

My friend was being awesome.

[Or so Tucker liked to think.]

Figured I'd ask if we could infect the Null with whatever Name has and fuck them up in the same way so they didn't want to fight. It, um, didn't go over too well.

action; he knows you're home

[hardwearing]

[ Wash is chilling in his room with Kyna and their pets when his phone chimes an alert for a network post.

...

Yeah, you'd better believe he's getting up now, stepping into the upper hallway and just shouting across the stairs at Tucker's room. ]

Tucker! Are you fucking serious?!

action

[lovernotafighter]

[Was that scraping against the floor? Sounds like maybe someone pushing furniture across the floor to block a door, perhaps?

Fuck, Wash sounded pissed. He checked that the knob was locked.]

Look, I didn't know this was going to happen!

text

[evocation]

it sounds like wash is going to kill you before the null do
but hey at least you won't get electrocuted or whatever

[lovernotafighter]

You want to distract him for me? I'll give you five bucks.

voice

[uptightness]

Your friend might be end up dead before anything further can happen.

[Because friend her ass, Tucker.]

voice

[lovernotafighter]

[You typoed "Her friend had a great ass".]

My friend was trying to find an answer to this stupid shit. So, you know, we should probably praise him or something. Give him a parade and a statute. Or make out with him.

Definitely the last one.

[redwinekindofgirl]

Last time it happened to me I spent two weeks being relentlessly tracked by robots who wanted to kill me. Sooooo...

[Shrug?]

You piss off that Null that's hiding out in the city somewhere?

video;

[lovernotafighter]

[Fuck.]

So basically the shittiest game of Hide and Seek ever. Fan-fucking-tastic.

[He shrugged a little.]

Is it that obvious?

[roseofthetyrells]

[she is not going to facepalm, she is not going to do it. Admire her restraint]

Has anyone told you about the list yet?

Video

[lovernotafighter]

[If she's looking for restraints... bow chika bow wow.

Now is NOT the time, Tucker.]

Not really, but from what I'm hearing, it sounds like I stirred up some heavy shit.

video

[am_i_a_monster]

[She looks at him and frowns.]

Really bad. Over ten.

Why are you asking? Did someone threaten you?

[Voice]

[lovernotafighter]

[The one positive: all the chicks are coming out of the woodwork to respond. But really? At this point even that wasn't cheering him up.]

H-Hey, I didn't say it was me.

[It was totally him.]

A question was asked, and then boom! There was some BS about a list.

[Voice]

[requiemshark]

[Guess who sounds very amused.]

Wouldn't worry about it. Washington will definitely murder you first.

[Voice]

[lovernotafighter]

[Thanks forever for your support.]

Dude, I think everyone in the house is going to, other than Caboose.

Fuck I'm in trouble. Can I come crash at your place for awhile?

text

[abbatis]

you need to give more context.

text

[lovernotafighter]

[God, where to start...]

my friend MIGHT have said something that could be assumed as a threat but it was REALLY just a question, and then it MIGHT have called him a threat and put him on some list.

voice;

[nowherewolf]

[Oh, look who decided he has no time for text for once?]

You're lookin' at like an eight if those fuckers show up in the city again. If memory serves, they took out more than half their list last time. It's maybe a two if they don't.

[Because like, basically nobody is going to go for it if the Null ask for sacrifices again. Didn't exactly go well last time.]

More important: does it know your name?

voice;

[lovernotafighter]

[Fuck, way to sugar coat it.]

An eight isn't a ten at least.

[Deep breath, sure, cool. But wait a minute--]

Are you asking because you're worried about me or because your name is Tucker, too?

[thelastjoy]

depends how good you are at running. if you can motor its a two. if you hitting brakes you probably aint living long enough to say ten

(Video)

[handofsilver]

That is a feat! What happened to cause it? (He's impressed? Horrified too. Goodness.)

[goodluckkobra]

[killthisparty]

[sneaklizard]

Huh...

What exactly did your friend do?
