Gym, Thursday Morning

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy bounced lightly on his toes as he waited for the sparring match to begin. This in no way could be a bad thing for anyone.

At all.

[[ooc: There for a certain Nordic lass and Mexican spectator, but open for gymly business.]]

Setsuna was there, for her usual sparring/teaching session with John, and nodded to the others knowing they'd ping in eventually, la before grabbing a practise sword and warming up a bit while she waited.

Pippi grinned as she took off her boots and stockings.

"So... Got any stipulations?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Stipulations?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, like... No hair pulling or grabbing naughty bits."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy winced out of sheer reflex because ow. Getting hit in the groin wasn't sun no matter how quickly you heal.

"Those both sound pretty good."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I thought they might." Pippi nodded stepping onto the mat and doing a few warm ups.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy followed suit, copying Pippi's warm up because he never really did one himself before.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Okay... So, I'm still kinda not used to fighting people my own strength. But I know some wrestling, a little Judo, and Nadia taught me some Akido... You wanna show you what I know or do ya just want to go at it?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"I don't really have any training in this so..." Teddy shifted his weight from one foot to the other nervously. "Maybe we should try getting into it first. You can tell me what I'm doing wrong then and give me pointers."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi finds this situation ironic.

"Okay." she said with a shrug and got into a crouching defensive position.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy took a step back and waited for her to attack, not quite used to being the aggressor in a situation where other people weren't in danger.

He did, however, take the time grow a few armor like scales on his arms for blocking hits.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi, likewise, doesn't normally attack first.

When Teddy grows the scales she drops her stance completely.

"Okay, that's cool... How did you do that? Can I see?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy laughed and extended them to the rest of his arms.

"I'm a shape shifter."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Can I touch 'em? Does it hurt to do that?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

The Mexican spectator was there on the bleachers, spectating. Watching Pippi to see how she'd do this and realizing very quickly after that long line of techniques that, yeah. She was definately probably a lot better suited for this whole teaching thing than he was.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Holding out his arm, Teddy nodded. "It's like flexing another muscle."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi waved at Chad.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi touched the scales on Teddy's arm.

"Smooth." she said putting both her hands around his forearm.

Her grip suddenly tightened and she shifted her weight to pull him off his feet and into an over the shoulder throw.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad waved back.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy? So not expecting that and landed hard on his shoulder.

"Hey!"

He lashed out at her legs, trying to knock Pippi down.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy also waved at Chad.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Hey Setsuna," Teddy greeted, waving as she entered the gym.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

And Chad also waved back. But Teddy got the beginning of a grin to go along with the wave.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna nodded to Teddy and then looked around as if John had shown up and maybe she missed him, but she really shouldn't feel so surprised that he was late. "Hello, Teddy; how are you?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Good. Waiting for Pippi to come and kick my ass," He replied cheerfully.
