Oh holy shit!

[He jumps and WHY IS CABOOSE OUTSIDE THE WINDOW.]

Caboose, what the hell!

[buildsfriends]

[because he was flying and he came to say hi geez tucker use your head]

Ah hang on Tucker, someone is trying to talk to me. [pulls phone out of hammerspace pocket and sslllowly types out a reply. To Tucker.] I...Am...Okayyy.... Send.

[As Caboose puts away his phone, Tucker's buzzes with the reply: I am ok send]

[bestsword]

[He glances at the phone, then back at Caboose. If he had human eyes to roll right now, they'd roll out of his damn head.]

Just - Get down and get in here.

[buildsfriends]

[drops outta the sky like a stone into the bushes with a yelp and then clambers through the window

only to

sit cross-legged in the air and float around the room instead, faintly glowing blue. YOU WOULD DO IT TOO TUCKER DON'T LIE

His Blue Lantern suit looks a lot like their survival suits underneath their armor, just with blue accents and the symbol in the middle. No mask because he ain't cool enough for that shit. Caboose cocks his head when he gets a good look at Tucker though, frowning.] Did you go through the teleporter? You are all black.

[bestsword]

[Tucker's astounded to simply watch Caboose for now. Watch him float like it's the most natural thing in the world and he's done it his whole life. Of course Caboose would get his powers swapped and get something cool.]

You know, as a matter of fact, I did. We'll go with that.

[buildsfriends]

[caboose always gets the cool shit
and then either immediately breaks it or sics it on his teammates]

Well, you are very dirty. If Donut was here, he would help you clean up. [notice that observation did not contain an offer of help]

Tucker look at this! [Caboose floats closer to show Tucker the glowing ring on his finger.] I am not married, if you were wondering. I got this from an alien. And I'm not even pregnant. [SMUG. look who is just as good at quests as you]

[bestsword]

Yeah, I'm glad Donut's not here for that.

[Because he knows what it would devolve into and he's not in the mood. But then a ring is shoved in his face and he leans away, just a few inches, so he can refocus his suit's cameras on it properly. Doesn't know what the insignia means or what group it goes to.]

Great job. Really. Wait, what alien did you get it from?

[buildsfriends]

Oh just some really bald, really bug-eyed nice alien man who found Freckles. [floats upside down again, bumps into ceiling fan] He said some stuff about some stuff that I don't remember and then he said some other stuff... I'm pretty sure I'm special and great. Yeah.

Oh and I can't find my armor. AND I WAS UP IN SPACE! It was neat and I wasn't even in a ship.

[bestsword]

Oh my god.

[Tucker would rub at his face if he had a face to rub. As it is, he just settles for resting his head in his hands.]

I saw your armor. I think the alien whose powers you got has your armor and he's fine, just --

Why were you in space?

[buildsfriends]

[well tucker is wrong because caboose and his new husband have already discussed the armor issue and come to the same conclusion that it cant possibly be caboose's since caboose is big and walker is small, but tucker being wrong is nothing new so whatever

to answer the other part of that though:]

Because it was fun.

[easy]

Do you wanna go too?

[bestsword]

What?

[Tucker got lost a moment, processing information, cataloging it with new - whatever it is he has that's pulling websites and knowledge from internet sources and this is already a mess in his head but he tries - tries - to focus on Caboose in front of him.]

To space? No, thanks, enjoying it right here on Earth while we can.

[buildsfriends]

Tucker. [FLOATS ANNOYINGLY INTO UR FACE] Are you talking to people on the radio while I am talking to you? I told you that is very rude and I don't like it! [because tucker says he does it a lot. like when caboose is being annoying and tucker doesn't want to listen to him. or talk to him. or associate with him in any way, and then someone ends up with mustard in their sheets and then nobody is happy.]

[bestsword]

What? No!

[But god he wishes he was. He leans back, enough so Caboose isn't directly in his face. Helmet. Whatever.]

And since when have I cared what's rude or what you like or don't like?

[buildsfriends]

This is why you don't have as many friends as me. [just assuming Tucker has less friends because c'mon, of course he does]

Take off your helmet, please. It's also rude to not have a face when someone else is in their pajamas.

[bestsword]

Yeah, see, the thing about that is I would, but I kinda don't feel like it.

[Can't. Won't. Same difference.]

And you talked to Church and Tex all the time back in Blood Gulch, no problem.

[buildsfriends]

[wow rude] Church and Tex are computer people and also I like them better than you.

[bestsword]

[RudER.] Great. Thanks.

And this is how you make friends, huh.

[buildsfriends]

No. [AFFRONTED SNIFF. Crocodile tears, at best.] This is how I talk to people who are being mean even when I fly all the way over to visit. [uninvited]

[bestsword]

I didn't ask you to! I just wanted to know you weren't destroying half the city or something! ['Please don't be lying down in a ditch half dead, Caboose, it would worry us all'.]

Clearly you're not, so now I'm worried about whoever got your armor.
