Vampire Jane bleeds, vampire Joe attempts to block.
Jane plays Faceless Night at Superior
Can Joe play On the Qui Vive between the time he taps from Faceless
Night and the time the bleed resolves?
Name: Faceless Night
Cardtype: Action Modifier
Discipline: Obfuscate
[obf] +1 stealth.
[OBF] +1 stealth, and any minion who attempts to block this action and
fails becomes tapped when the action is resolved (before resolving the
action).
Name: On the Qui Vive
Cardtype: Reaction
Only usable by a tapped minion. This reacting minion can play reaction
cards and attempt to block as though untapped until the current action
is concluded. If this minion is an ally, he or she does not untap as
normal during his or her next untap phase. A minion may play only one
On the Qui Vive between his or her untap phases.

Why would he want to?
He can deflect/reduce prior to tapping for the Faceless Night.
If you just desperately need to cycle, yes it could be done.

To cycle. And, to be clear, it's too late to bounce/reduce after
you're tapped for Faceless Night, right? I'm not sure that you
actually can cycle in this case.
I'm curious to hear what LSJ says!

faceless night doesn't tap you until the action resolves. so no, you
can't play on the qui vive, because you're not tapped.
and also by that token, yeah it's too late to bounce/reduce when you
tap, because the action's already resolved.

What? the card text explicitly states that you become tapped BEFORE
resolving the action. Thus, you become tapped BEFORE you reduce your
pool.
and yes, Lasombra, I want to use it to cycle. But if I draw a
Telepathic Counter from the redraw, couldn't I play it?

You can play Freak Drive after an action is resolved, so there is
clearly still an action after an action "resolves":
Freak Drive
[for] Only usable at the end of a successful action (after resolving
the action). Untap this vampire
See Vendetta for reactions:
Vendetta
Only usable when you are successfully bled for more than 2 pool . . .
I don't believe you can play Telepathic Misdirection (at aus or AUS)
since you are not "being bled" anymore, you were successfully bled.
You can't enter the "resolving action" phase without there being a
successful bleed, so you are no longer eligible to block or redirect
the bleed.
But I don't see any reason why you couldn't, in response to a
successful bleed, OtqV and then Vendetta, and I don't see any reason
why Faceless Night wouldn't tap you immediately prior to the bleed
being successful, making you eligible to play OtqV.

For what would that matter?

It explicitly taps you prior to the resolution of the already-successful action.
