4. [Action] Battle Dome
[It's been near a week since the event. Derek's pretty much been lying low, behaving himself and doing as his two caretakers have been asking him. It's been a pain in the ass, of course; he'd already been chomping at the bit before Valentines day. But after straining his injured leg at the resort, he concentrated on doing whatever it would take to get him at least back to where he'd been before that fateful moment.
Five days later, with Adele and Raine working on him, (and him using his own newly and hard-won rapport with Nala), he'd managed it. Other than an ache that needed liberal doses of ibuprofen to keep it and the swelling down, he was where he wanted to be.
Which meant, of course, he was going to push it, just a little.
Early morning will find him carefully wrapping the leg for support, slipping on a looser pair of jeans and carefully--very carefully--making his way to one of the rooms and the console that it belonged to before (hopefully) anyone was up and around to see him. He spent another several minutes programming the system.
It wasn't for a typical battle scenario, though. He knew better. Instead, what formed out of the pixels and coding was the back yard of a Malibu home, set high on a cliff side overlooking the Pacific ocean. The owners of the house were obviously well-do-to, although the visual details were rather foggy; Derek was after the huge, grassy back yard, and the view, rather then the house itself.
Once loaded, he made his way to the center of the grass, beginning a slow but mostly graceful series of moves. To the trained eye, it could be seen that he was 'ghosting' Aikido moves. Eventually, he'll add a staff to the series of movements, if he's not interrupted.]
