Teddy Altman

In all the work being done with working on getting a planet to establish a colony on, Teddy hadn't been paying much attention to the days on the calender he brought. It was difficult to recall when a day had passed without the sunlight or even a normal 24 hours to mark it out here.

But he just happened to look over at it as he flopped back on his bed, exhausted from negotiations that went freaking nowhere. They had no pull in the galaxy anymore and no one was intimidated by a teenager.

Teddy sighed and stared at the comm, wondering what time it was in New York.

[[For the model]]

So a month spent on board a ship with only a few stops for resupplies and word of any pockets of Skrull survivors out there could make a person antsy. Especially when they're not used to this like many of the soldiers seemed to be.

Add onto that this weird sort of heat and you'll get one nervous emperor.

He even asked about any sort of Skrull---going into heat or something. He didn't know! He was still trying to learn all the small things. And language. So, after a very awkward conversation with the captain of the ship, Teddy was left with the fact that he wasn't going to be able to fix this problem without forcing someone to get that damn comm working to call a certain someone back home.

Right now he was stuck in his quarters, trying to smother himself with his pillow as he waited.

[[Establishy!]]

Once he'd managed to finally pull himself away from his room, Teddy made his way to the preserve. He didn't think he'd need to pack heavy, so he'd only brought what he needed.

A few key back issues of his favorite comics, some pictures and a few changes of clothing.

"Prince Dorrek," One of the Skrulls--He'd have to learn names--greeted him, bowing slightly and waving his hand toward the opening of the ship.

Teddy nodded, swallowing back any lingering doubts about this choice and walking up the small ramp. Once at the entrance, he only looked back once.

He was going to miss this place.

It only took a moment before the hatch closed behind him and the ship was engaged to leave the island and planet. Time to be this Dorrek person.

[[And that's all for Teddy on the island...]]

Teddy was putting off getting out of people today. Putting it of... long enough for this to just be considered hiding.

He just held onto Chad tighter for a moment, wondering what the hell he was going to do after all of this.

"You need to keep my signed issue of Bitter Woman," He decided suddenly.

There was a spaceship in the preserve. Small, very well hidden, but there none the less. Around that there were a number of cannonfodder Skrull soldiers, waiting for the next part of the plan.

Queen Veranke would lead them to victory here, she had to. It was prophesied.

He loved them.

[[Please wait for the OCD up! NFB!]]

After the KKG meeting, Teddy went back to the room to make sure Galliano hadn't managed to savage any expensive comics in his absence. He hadn't done it in a while, but you can never be too sure.

But when he got there... no cat.

"You really need to stop shutting yourself into the closet, Galliano," Teddy griped, opening the door to find-- "Oh crap."

Instead of a cat there was a gremlin. And it, of course, managed to bite him before gleefully running off.

You know, you'd think thank being here so long and not having been bitten until now would count for something, but nooo. And the alien powers only made it worse. Because now, oh yes, now he managed to actually turn into what he thought he was.

Somebody was watching you.

[[IDK. Money will randomly show up and watch you if you have an open post or would like it in other kiiinds.]]

Today was Chad's birthday, the last one before they both graduated. So this had to be something special. And Teddy...

...was so not good at ideas for this. So he went with a tried and true method of getting Chad sushi and fajitas with extra tomatoes. And even the beer that Teddy himself would never drink, but Chad loved.

He'd manfully have one of those instead of his usual wussy drink.

Now, just to wait on the birthday boy.

[[For one]]

When Teddy woke up today, he was absolutely thrilled to find not one kitty to play with. But two. And the big one was able to play and--and--He could carry him around without the kitty making angry noises!

"Chad! Chaaaaaad! Lookit!" He held Galliano up, arms under the cats front legs and the hind ones dangling on the floor.

[[For that guyfriend!]]

There was something niggling at the edge's of Bruce's mind this morning. Something very wrong with where he was. There wasn't the honking of car horns or noise of people selling various food and clothing. Or even the noisy kids playing in the alley.

...and there was something touching him.

Calm. Calm. Bruce took deep breaths to even out his heart rate before opening one eye to look down at what that was.


[[Last one, honest. FOR THAT GUY.]]

Teddy wasn't aware of anything weird going on today, actually. That may be because he was in his room. Playing video games. With Chad.

He was gonna freakin' beat him at this race or he was just gonna go insane.

"Hey! That was my turtle shell!"

[[Boyfriend, so so modded. Mwahahahaha]]

Sure, the solar year out here was completely different and this was just a normal day to anyone else, but Teddy and Chad knew it was special so... a very small celebration was in order.

Very small.

"I'm going to miss this stuff."

[[For the boyfriend and MASSIVE SP! Addiction is: stealing your friends computer to post as they mock you]]

Bouncing a little as he started to put his stuff away in what was... marginally his room with Phyla and Heather at the church, Teddy grinned over at Chad.

You would think that being on another planet, things would look more different than Earth, but most of it was oddly similar.

"Are you enjoying your time in space?"


[[For the guy with him and NFB due to distance]]

Teddy was damn bouncy at seeing his sister again. That might explain the rapid and uneven knocking on her hotel room door. She was in town and he was going to be able to show her everything and not have it be as awkward as last year.

This was awesome.

Teddy peered into the bags of food, wondering if they really needed this much for just a few days. This was why you never went shopping hungry.

Walking with Chad back to the campsite, he frowned. "Did we get enough stuff for smores?"

...he could live off those things.


[[For the boyfriend and that lady]]

There was one thing to look forward to when waking up this morning for Teddy. That would be... waking up.

How the hell he managed to be killed by a three story drop caused by wind, he'd never know. Right now he was just going to hide from the world for a while.


[[Closed door, open post]]

Teddy sat on the edge of the roof, looking up at the stars. Somewhere out there was his people... Someday he'd be with them and finally feel like he belonged.

Thankfully he had Chad to make things so much easier for him. He was so lucky. Things, it seemed were finally looking up.

It was a shame that just then, a sudden gust of wind knocked off his balance and he fell to the ground.

[[Open to react if you like, but for one!]]

When Teddy woke up today, the last thing he had wanted to think about was why he was suddenly smaller than last night. And lacking certain things.

And why he had some cushioning on his ches---

"CHAD! It happened again," Teddy grumped, flopping back on the bed.


[[For the *snerk* girlfriend. Posted early for SP!]]

Teddy really should have remembered the last time they went to one of these. When all the cats attacked in order to be pet.

It kinda made him want to adopt them all. Poor things, they just wanted some attention.

"See any stand out yet?"
