"Turn around, TD," she said, taking a hand off the wheel to grab Tucker by the shoulder and yank him back into his seat. "Leave your brother alone ( Read more... )

There's really no shortage of things for Tucker to miss. His finger. Looking normal. Having a way out. Being alone. Not having to be accountable for anything.

That last thing, the part about missing being unaccountable, sort of surprises Tucker, because it ties into what he's been missing. A cliche so emo, it's not to be believed ( Read more... )

Talk about a time you realized that someone close to you was not the person you thought you knew.

My brother, Andrew, was scared of everything when he was a little kid. At least in my eyes he was, anyway. The other day, though, I realized that something changed. We were yapping at each other about what he's going to do now, and he - disturbingly ( Read more... )

The slightest things translate as 'betrayal' to Tucker Wells. Really, there's no prescribed formula. If he trusts you, which is a feat in itself, then you are in danger of betraying him once every 24 minutes. A missed opportunity, a joke not gotten, a glance not returned. What he wants more than anything is for someone to "get" him -- right off -- ( Read more... )

[OOC: I have to meta this a little bit, which hopefully isn't going to mess with anyone's cha-cha. As far as I know, this is all expected, but if there's something amiss, just let me know. I have to get them moved in so Tucker can start getting gone. Thanks for your patience. Anyone in the house is welcome to chime into this post as Tucker gets ( Read more... )

The first time I saw my brother, Andrew, I was two. He was a day old. I don't remember it very clearly (actually at all), but there are pictures. My mom, looking like a wet rag, smiling wanly for the camera that my father was probably holding. Me, next to my mom, both hands on her leg as I stood on my tiptoes to look at the weird, pink mammal she ( Read more... )

Tucker gets a triple shot in a 20 oz. coffee on his way downtown. The coffee shop is closing up for the night and none of the people who are working know him. He only stops here in the morning on the way to work and it's now 7:45 p.m.

And he's going to work. Work! Because Tucker is just that driven. He's that ambitious. Plus, at lunch with Eve, ( Read more... )

What is the scariest thing that has ever happened to you?

[Private]
Before I learned how to manage and communicate with a Glarghk Guhl Kashmas'nik demon, I summoned one (for someone else, obviously, as I think they're annoying) and it immediately dropped to a crouch and stuck me with its venom spike. I managed to get it contained and compliant, ( Read more... )

If you could change one person's mind about something, who and what would it be?Sometimes I wish I didn't head straight to flippant, because I'd love to give you a straight answer about whose mind I'd change and about what. Because there is someone and there is something. But, as luck has it, I'm not going to give anyone a straight answer until ( Read more... )
