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.]

But when Loki starts telling him the improvements he needs to make, Teddy tilts his head slightly and raises an eyebrow, lips pursing slightly in mock thought. Chiseled abs and firm biceps... ahaha.]
Yeah, yeah. You've literally got the body of a god. [WHICH SOUNDED WRONG TO SAY EVEN SARCASTICALLY seeing how this Loki is thirteen, but. Well. It's true, in the literal sense.
He gives a little half smile though, and when Teddy straightens his back, suddenly the body he's impersonating really does have chiseled abs and firm biceps - probably a bit too much so. And he's grown a mustache, too.]
What do you think now? A testament to your manliness?
[action]
[Loki huffs softly as if it is the most horrible thing ever. Finally he turns to look at Teddy and well, he's not quite sure of the mustache... Wait, why is there a mustache in the first place? He has no mustache.
Allow Loki to think really hard on this one, Teddy.]
Why do I have a mustache? And how does the mustache relate to my manliness?
