004 - Action/Voice
[Action]
[Although Teddy didn't go on the draft, he knew plenty of friends who did. Once he was certain they were all accounted for, though some had gone through some heavy losses, he felt like he could relax a little. And with relaxation, it dawned on him that he hadn't really practiced his shifting ability in a while. Sure, there was his Hulkling form, but he knew that one. Knew it inside and out. What about others?
This is why he sits by the edge of the fountain, homework and pencil in hand, though he doesn't work so much as watch people over the top of the page. He's inconspicuous about it, as this is a hobby he's developed for some time now.
And when he's sure he's not in anyone's range of vision, he transforms, shifting into the form of the person he's got his eyes on. That's when he stops watching them and looks down at the body he's impersonating, just to study the shape, occasionally glancing up to make sure he has everything right. Even when the person's left, he still stays in that form for a few long moments before he shifts back, writing his answers in his homework once he's satisfied with the shape he's in.
Observe, learn, shift, hold. This is what he's learned over the years, though it's been a while since he's done this for selfless reasons. Just for practice, nothing more.]

[It's sunset and he's still outside, though he appears to be walking back home. There's just one thing on his mind, something that occurred to him while shifting.]
Anyone up for playing b-ball sometime? It's been way too long since I actually got to play against someone. Holograms just don't really cut it, you know?
[He would suggest football, but, well. When you've got the ability to possibly break someone in half with a good tackle, that probably isn't the best sport to go for.]

Problems with getting stranded on an underdeveloped planet, he supposed.]
I didn't even know you could set up a sim for that.
no subject
... He looks familiar, too. And not just because he might have seen him in a game or something. Hasn't he seen him in his community housing before?]
Oh, yeah. Yeah to both. The simulation isn't all that great, though; it's like the AI are Too Dumb To Live.
oops forgot. is this [voice] or [video] since Teddy can see him?
Really? Guess it figures the sims wouldn't have great AI for it. [He'd noticed they were a little slow in normal battle sims... at least compared to real monsters.] But I'd be up for playing with you, if that offer is still open.
whichever, but probably [video] because same reasons, my bad!
[video] Gotcha!
[video]
[video]
I think so.... community building five, right?
[video]
[And because he's honestly kind of curious:] So what's with the, ah... noises I hear sometimes?
Re: [video]
We're also building a pingpong table.
[Boredom sucks.]
[video]
[Boredom does suck, so he sounds interested when he asks. Sure, Teddy has his laptop, and his iPhone, and the Battledome, but Luceti is definitely no New York City.]
Think you wouldn't mind a couple of guys coming over sometimes to play?
