I. About Town

[Teddy can be seen at various places around Riverview, but he seems to favor heading out to the park, to the coffee shops. He even sniffs out all the best places to pick up comics and video games. He doesn't mind striking up a conversation while standing in line, or if a title of a comic or game really catches his attention.]

II. Hitting the Clubs

[After his experiences with the cultists? Sleep still isn't coming quite so easy and honestly, the loud music that plays in the clubs around Riverview is distracting and, in a way, a relaxing way to just not think. For the most part, Teddy can't get drunk, but he's legal to drink here and he at least can be seen socially carrying something in his hand or accepting drinks bought for him. Sometimes he can be seen out on the dance floors or just sitting back and people watching or making some conversation here and there.]

III. Training

[Whether it's at the gym or basketball court, or even taking an early morning jog around Riverview, Teddy can be seen out and around Riverview. He might not have a job that necessarily requires strength, and he might have some natural advantages that way, but training and pushing himself is something he genuinely enjoys. As crazy as his life has been since his arrival? He could use some normal.

Teddy might offer to spar with people here and there, although if he's clearly at an advantage, he's holding back. He might invite people to play against him in a game of basketball or offer to spot anyone who needs it in the gym.]

IV. The Incredible Hulkling

[Citizens of Riverview may see a large, green winged man in the skies or perched here and there, patrolling for people to help or handling whatever monsters may be around. Sometimes he's just large and green, on foot and tall enough to tower over most people. He doesn't mean harm though. If someone is bothering you, he'll step in to give a hand. If someone is up to no good, Hulkling is on the case.

He can also be seen leaving the city for some proper monster fighting. Again, sometimes punching things that might want to hurt innocent people is just good stress relief.]

V. Wildcard

[Want to stop by Teddy's apartment? Want something a little more customized? Feel free to drop a starter or contact me and I'll set something up for us!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[He shakes his head, honestly astounded that Teddy would believe what he can do isn't impressive. If hitting things really hard isn't impressive then what Steve can do himself must seem so basic by comparison.]

It's more then impressive. Having a partner that turns big and green and lets loose on our opponents has been a huge benefit to me in the past.

The flying can come in handy too if we need to make a getaway.

[With that, he turns to the barrier doors and gets them open, revealing a path that leads into the trees.]

Is there anywhere you want to go in particular, or should we just let our feet do the walking?

[Well, maybe-- a little impressive. Being able to hit things really hard has benefited him in the past, but he's not really Captain America.

Although he is out exploring with Captain America, which is still really cool.]

I think we can just let our feet do the walking, right? I mean-- hopefully we won't get hopelessly lost or something. Have you ventured out here that much?

A couple of times, usually with a group. I helped with clearing the path to the Abandoned City and clearing away all the overgrowth at the amusement park. There were a few monster encounters then as well. But that's a risk you face going in with a big group. Maybe we'll be lucky and get by under the radar.

[He sounds hopeful but really isn't betting on that. Some of these creatures have extremely acute senses that would be impossible to escape the notice of.]

I've brought a compass, just in case. But if all else fails you could always fly up and try to get a lock on our position. We shouldn't travel so far that the Quarantine is out of view from an aerial view.

Oh, wow... Really? It sounds like you have been busy. [He gives a wry smile.] We're probably not going to be that lucky, you know...

[Just saying...]

Yeah. If things get too bad, I can fly us out, no problem. But I mean-- I feel pretty good with Captain America on my side, especially when he's not suppressed.

[Ugh-- those things were a nightmare.]

[He scrunches up his face and shoots Teddy a long look.] I know it. But you don't have to jinx us right off the bat. [Then he smiles to lighten his words and to show he's joking.]

I definitely feel better knowing we have a getaway plan. Just in case.

[He appreciates the vote of confidence and it makes him even more determined to get them both through his outing without any trouble.

Leading the way out of the Quarantine and into the trees, his body tenses in readiness as he scans the path ahead of them, ears listening for any sounds of movement.]

Hey, sorry... [He flashes a grin though.] Don't worry, to make up for it, I can take the first creature that thinks we look appetizing.

[Hopefully it won't happen like, right off the bat though...

He follows Steve, letting him take the lead as he strains to listen for any odd sounds-- last time he was out here with Billy, they both got taken by surprise after all.]

Are there many things out here that don't want to eat us or drag us off, by the way?

Yeah, remind me of that when we run into our first monster. You might feel differently then.

[He's run into some pretty gruesome creatures out here. Things even he struggled to handle on his own.]

If there are...I haven't run into any yet.

[It could be terrible luck on his part, but everything he's encountered has been extremely dangerous. He's not picking up on any unusual sounds, which is a good sign. Especially this close to the Quarantine walls.]

Don't worry... I'm not very edible. I think.

[He's at least got the armor on his side...]

Figures... if everything was cute, cuddly animals, there'd probably still be some kind of catch. They'd look like teddy bears and like, spit acid or something.

Doesn't mean they won't take that as a challenge.

[He grimaces at the visual.]

Thanks for putting that image in my head.

Sorry. I guess I tell you all sorts of terrifying-but-cute things, huh? Teddy bears, killer bunnies. You're probably a saint for putting up with it.

[He gives a grin.

But-- he definitely hears something rustling around up ahead and he pauses.]

We might have some company of the non-cute variety.

[Steve hears the rustling at the same moment and stiffens, one hand going for the shield he has strapped to his back as he carefully takes a step towards the sound, his motions soundless.

His other hand goes up in Teddy's direction, asking him to stay in place. He's not sure how stealthy Teddy can be in that form and doesn't want to take any chances.

The rustling grows closer and closer until finally a figure pops out from the bushes.

A very...small figure. It's furry with large protruding teeth.

It's a vampire bunny.]

[Oh god-- Teddy is still honestly a little stiff, even when it appears to just be a tiny little bunny--

Because look at those teeth, good god. Also, he might still be harboring a little bunny trauma from interdimensional shenanigans back home, you know.]

Ugh-- do we run or do we... kick it? Or is it still bad form to kick a bunny, even when it looks like it kinda wants to jump on us?

[Regardless, Teddy does</> move forward. Thick skin and all and he'd rather it attack him than Steve.]

It'd almost be cute if it wasn't... you know.

[Steve is so surprised by this turn of events that all he can do is stare numbly down at the furry little horror. After everything he's told Teddy about the dangers of the forest, and after witnessing and fighting true monstrosities out here...he can't help but feel a little disappointed.

A fact that is evident in the way that he doesn't even try to stop Teddy from getting ahead of him, effectively becoming a barrier between him and the vampire bunny.]

I think...we can leave it alone. Unless it tries to bite one of us.

[Except that it seems to have planted itself right in their path and has no indication of leaving any time soon.]

We can go around?

And you said there's nothing cute here... Look at it stand its ground.

[Okay, cute is a bit... much, but seriously. It's just a little, vicious bunny. Way better than it could have been. He lets out a laugh as he looks back at Steve.]

You look almost disappointed that it isn't like a giant... lizard-snake thing.

[But yeah, okay...]

We can probably go around? It'll hopefully hop off and go on its way.
