Lucas Lee • Take 1 • Video

[Lucas Lee comes to and jumps up as quick as his injured body will allow, hands in the air.] I'm ok!!

[And then immediately falls to a knee, cradling one arm, but looking around for the audience that isn't there. He'd just attempted a suicidal rail grind that should have ended in a much more serious fall--but for some reason, he was...mostly

[Matthew stares into the camera, bewildered.]

...L-Lucas?? They got you too? Oh god...

[bbcarrotcooler]

[Have a patented Lucas Lee Eyebrow Raise™.]

...Patel? How do you have my nu--[And he stops himself. Let's not open that can of worms just yet.] Lemme just say that I have like, negative amounts of time for your bullshit right now.

Dude, I'm pretty sure I got really wasted, blacked out and did something stupid, or maybe awesome--probably awesome. But I think I'm in police custody, which is just ridiculous. [He scoffs.]

[myfieryballs]

N-no bullshit, Lucas, I...th-this is really fucking serious. I mean it. Please listen to me.

This isn't a police station, and you're not hung over. Gideon said we aren't even on Earth anymore. It's...I don't know where we are, but it's bad. It's really, really bad.

[bbcarrotcooler]

Ugh, I know how you take Graves's word as law, but that douche doesn't know as much as he thinks he does--

--wait, what?

[somewhatmutual]

Huh.

[A familiar voice and face. Envy has seen more of Lucas's movies than she'd like to admit.]

Obviously they've decided to only kidnap famous people.

[bbcarrotcooler]

Kidnapping famous people? [What the hell is this broad talking about? Then again, that could be the premise for an awesome movie...mental note, made.]

Yeah, well, no. What? [He peers into the screen and smirks.] Wait, I know you.

[somewhatmutual]

[Oh, that smirk. She knows that kind of smirk--it's the kind of smirk Todd had whenever he walked around with her on his arm, the paparazzi shooting thousands of photos. Her eyes narrow.]

Envy Adams.

[bbcarrotcooler]

[Processing.

...and finally, recognition, and another smile.]

Ohhhh, right. Adams. I'm Lucas Lee. [Like she didn't already know that.] I'd love to chat, sweetheart, but I think I'm in trouble with the law. [And he gives a totally badass, devil-may-care shrug.]

Dear God, was this month "March of the Tools" month?

Jesus Christ.

[bbcarrotcooler]

Who the hell are you and why the hell are you talking about tools?

Whatever hardware kit you're selling, or whatever--I don't want it. Kind of in the middle of a crisis, so.

I meant you, you giant fucking idiot.

[bbcarrotcooler]

While I can understand your confusion, I'm also not God, or even a deity or whatever.

...are you a disgruntled fan or something? Is this gonna be like that Eminem video? I hated that song.

[the_daybreak]

More a prison than a hospital, really.

[bbcarrotcooler]

...no, dude. If I were in prison, I'd be in like--celebrity prison. With fancy meals and soft couches and Barbara Walters flying in for interviews, and shit.

[the_daybreak]

'Flying in'? If we were on a planet, that'd be fine.

But they don't care who you are here, aside from whatever selection process they use. I'm not a celebrity or anything.

[bbcarrotcooler]

If we were on a planet..?

Are you one of those sci-fi nerds, or something?

Sorry, but I am totally not getting whatever you're talking about, and I am like five seconds to freakout, because what the hell. And someone put this totally ugly accessory around my neck and I don't even think it's name brand, ugh.

[supervegan]

Well, better than Patel at least.

[bbcarrotcooler]

Ingram?

Fuck, finally someone who's not a total idiot.

Dude, I think I got arrested.

[supervegan]

...arrested for what?

[bbcarrotcooler]

I don't know? I'm pretty sure I got black out drunk and did some stupid shit, because I think I'm in police custody.

Also I have a stupid choker necklace on, and I must have been wasted to let that happen.
