[This day had to come eventually, didn't it? Just another one of those damn Blood Gulch Sim Troops arriving here to crash the party, and predictability a little late like always. But hey, it wasn't like he hadn't been busy saving a planet or being blissfully retired or anything equally as important. Nope.

The video shifted a little as Tucker tried to set it upright, but it soon found itself quickly propped at an angle that said this wasn't his first time recording himself; the purpose of such skills would be left up to the viewer to guess at their own discretion. But hey, have Tucker with that beautiful aqua colored armor looking right back at you, even as he sat back down and tried to appear relaxed, cool, okay with ...well, all this. All this.

Ladies in hot tight superhero outfits definitely helped.]

So, yeah, Tucker here. [It felt like an interview with Dylan. Good thing talking about himself was one of his favorite things to do.] Please try to contain your applause, but ladies, feel free to toss your bras in my general direction.

[No shame, this one.]

You know, I was kind of busy back home. [With Church shit. It was always Church shit, and there wasn't a single damn regret for it; in a way, he hoped it kept being Church shit because that meant that bastard was still around. Tucker wanted to be back there, needed to be back there because--] Those idiots - my idiots - have no one to lead them now unless you count Sarge and no one counts Sarge. Shit, I don't even think the Reds count Sarge. Okay, so maybe Simmons does, but whatever.

[He sighed, rubbing his hand over his helmet before he just waved his hand.] But cool, superpowers, am I right? I mean, if I was getting chicks before, I'm getting triple chicks now.

[Let the record show that he was not, in fact, getting ladies before, and that the triple of "zero" is still "zero".]

Look, I just want to get this shit done and over with so I can get back to being a badass back home and get my shit done. So, you know, I'll do what I have to, I guess.

[There's a sigh, that burden of few choices and responsibility - ew - before he cocked is head up.]

Hey, important final question: where do all the hotties hang out around here? There's the title of wingman up for grabs if you tell me.

[At least the video ends there, and everyone was probably better for it.]

Haven't done yet. Although I've seen it turn suits of armor into impromptu ovens before.

[ He's no templar, but she wouldn't feel too badly about it. ]

[Okay, for a normal person, that might be a hint to properly back off. small>

So, what you're saying is that you want me out of the armor? Because underneath the undersuit, I can sometimes go commando. Think you can handle all that?

[ Tucker wasn't exactly normal.]

[ Oh, now she's lowering her hand, and it looks like she almost wants to laugh. He's just really, really terrible at this, isn't he? ]

Tell me. Has that ever worked for you?

[Yep. Yep, he really was. He just didn't know it. Or, if he did, he didn't care.]

Once. Sister was one freaky chick.

[There was a pause, then a hurried--]

Not my sister! Someone else's.

Well. I'm not sure if I should be impressed or horrified.

[ She's surprised, either way. But maybe some girls were into that guileless, no-clue bumbling sort of horndog thing.

You never knew. ]

Eh, both works.

[Why pick one when either one fit perfectly, right? ]

Look, there's someone for everyone, right? There's just a lot for me, baby.

I'm not so sure that's the case, honestly.

But it's good to hear some people find themselves so lucky.

Oh, I'd be more than happy to show you, and then you can show me just how hot you can get.

First Amélie, now you.

[ She folds her arms. Well. One arm goes across her chest, at least. ]

Is it so hard to believe that some people just aren't romantically inclined?

[There should be a expectation that he would say yes, that someone like him couldn't understand the idea of not wanting something romantically. Certainly he couldn't see it for himself.

But he just shrugged.]

No. There's all kinds of people out there who are into all kinds of things., and sometimes, one of those things is "nothing", so yeah. It's believable.

[And he smiled under his visor. Not that she could see it.]

Sucks for me, but hey, it's cool.

[ And some of that guardedness slips, just a touch. Alright. Maybe she didn't have him completely pegged after all. ]

Well I imagine it must. I've just...

[ Her lips curl wryly as she gestures vaguely towards the air. ]

There's always been something else, something more important.

[Tucker had that knack of sometimes surprising people, of being a secret lake instead of a puddle. It didn't happen often, but once in awhile...]

Shit, I know a few people like that.

[Not naming names here. The guilty parties would know who he's talking about (even if one isn't even in this place at the moment). Ears were burning somewhere.]

But look, even an amazing lover like me gets like that sometimes. [Kind of. Sort of. Look, retirement was weird and the war was awful and Kimball wasn't into it and he never got Volleyballs name and--]

I guess saving everything does get in the way of dating for most people.

You sound as though you speak from personal experience on the matter.

[ Skeptical? Her? No, never. ]

[Oh, he earned all that skepticism.]

Yeah, well, you're not the only one with stuff that keeps popping up.

[Bow chicka bow wow.

But he couldn't really talk about it because the last thing he needed was Grif reading this and finding out all the things that he couldn't tell him about. Damn.]

Just sometimes being popular is a big pain in the ass. You know what that's like?

[ And at that? She laughs. It starts soft, like she's trying to hold in it, but before long she's giggling outright, a hand clapping over her mouth.

Oh gods. If he only knew. ]
