002 - [Action/Voice]

[Late in the morning, only just after he had his morning coffee and just fixed toast for breakfast, Teddy had been surprised to find himself being shoved out of the apartment by his own boyfriend. Soon, he found himself blinking at the front door, a piece of cinnamoned toast still in his hand as the post-it note with his name beside Billy's door sign fluttered mournfully to the ground.

He got out a pitiful whine and forlornly posted the note back up before he ushered himself outside, finishing his toast in the meantime.

During the day, Teddy can be found at multiple places. The first is the Battledome, where he fiddles with the settings, some as harmless as a movie theater and some as dangerous as a warzone, but he doesn't fully go through with them. He's merely going through the options for later use. He may mutter to himself about how this must be what the Danger Room is like, and he may even be up for a light spar or something different if someone found him.

The second is Seventh Heaven, where he eats a light lunch of a small burger with fries, and he's a little proud of how he didn't compare it to New York's food outloud. It doen't mean he doesn't think it, though, and he spends more time subtly people watching and listening to conversations than really focusing on food and what the homelife was like. When he's done, he doodles a few musical notes on a napkin, again to possibly be used at a later date, before he stuffs that in his pocket.

The final place is on the roof of the school. He's not doing much of anything up there, just sitting with his legs pulled up and looking out over the village.

Teddy still can't help marveling over how different this place is from what he's used to. There aren't any sounds of car alarms or horns, no distant conversations or laughter, no police sirens or a far off explosion from an invading force (though, Teddy thinks to himself, he ought to be more thankful for the lack of the latter). Occasionally at night, he still wakes up and thinks that it's too quiet, too dark. And he really hopes he's not the only one who thinks that way.

With that thought in mind, Teddy reaches behind him to take the journal, left open in case Billy decides to let him back into the apartment, and decides to address the masses.]


Does anyone else feel seriously out of place here, or am I just being weird? And I don't mean the whole, "being held captive and having to suffer through lame shifts", but just the setting in general. Anyone else out there come from a home that's completely different from a village straight out of Golden Sun?

[He decides then that he'll chat with people for a while, then venture off the roof and see if Billy will allow him back inside. Not that Teddy knows what he did to deserve being kicked outside, but maybe he can beg for forgiveness enough to be let back in.]

Give it time. It took me about six months to really get used to things.

[Luke's voice shifts]

I don't believe we've met. I'm Luke Skywalker, what's your name?

Teddy Altman?

[He answers questioningly, remembering his conversation with Billy]

You're Billy's friend, aren't you? Its nice to meet you. He's told me a lot about you

Yes, I do. Billy and I have talked about that a bit.

[No fucks given, Teddy. None at all!]

No, not at all, I'm used to it by now. I sat down and watched the films with Obi-Wan as well.

I suspect its more to do with the strangeness of this planet in general. It seems to be a nexus of all realities. I've heard some people say that they believe every person exists in all others. So, for example, I'm a film character in your world, and in mine you maybe a vid-book character.

It was just a thought I'd had, but it could make a lot of sense.

[An interesting one, for sure]

Billy tells me you're a super-hero in your world. What sort of powers do you have?

Well, magic is a pretty impressive power, but changing your shape is just as impressive. Its not something common even where I'm from.

Now why would you hate it, Teddy? Sure, you look different, but...I'd think that'd be a reason to be proud of who you are. Its certainly impressive to me. And I've seen a lot of strange things.

[Its true, Luke cannot relate to Teddy's trouble with his powers. The Force wasn't anything like shapeshifting, it was something no race he knew of could do and while that was fascinating he hadn't really considered the ramifications of suddenly discovering such a power. He liked the boy though, seemed like a good kid and he felt like Teddy really looked up to him]

Good, its never good to worry too much about who you are.

[OK, its Luke's turn to laugh]

Yea, the Force is pretty cool. I'm not sure I've ever heard it described that way, but I can see it. Its definitely something I'm glad that I have. Especially here.
