Yeah. Kind of jealous, honestly.

[He gave up on his pretty quick. But! That's in the past! He starts rolling up his sleeves. The one day he wears a shirt and it's when he's pulled aside for parkour.]

So? You gonna show me what we're working with or what?

[darkinferno]

Sure. Everything boils down to two moves, but I can put them together to do a lot of different things.

[He'll show Zoro the abilities he's regained: the first sees him starting with a kick off of something, a wall or a stair or other vertical surface, and sliding through the air away from it. It's like stepping onto a wave of power, one he's learned to ride over these past couple of months. His body is surrounded by a glow of pink/purple energy, which fades along with the power and lets him drop back to the ground.

The second is just as simple; he can grind down a railing just as a skateboarder would, but without the need of any board. It seems to work on anything rail-like, too--curbs that are only a few inches wide, fences (so long as their tops are unbroken by extraneous points or ornaments), the backs of benches... again, that same power surrounds him, and at the end of each rail slide he's propelled up into the air like a diver from a board, able to tap into that first wave of energy again if he wants.]

Last month I used it to climb most of the way up one of the skyscrapers in Enprise.

[stopbleeding]

Should have gone all the way up. They might have arrested you but it's a hell of a view.

[He uses the words to buy time as he thinks up a few possibilities. Based on those powers, he's hesitant to really call any of this parkour. It's more like... space-skating with free-running extra. Kind of a disappointment, even if those Tony Hawk powers are pretty sick.]

Two options: simultaneous run following the same path... maybe running the inside of that apartment complex. [He points to a U-shaped building about 21 stories with crappy fake-balconies for each apartment. There's rails all over, enough for him to walk on while Paranormal Tony Hawk here did his whole glowing schtick.] Or a relay run. Probably using that business plaza. [He points across the street to said plaza. In the center there's a large statue, to the side, a fountain and benches and planters all over.]

They'll be pretty lousy courses but that's what you get for a quick job.

[darkinferno]

[Dante shakes his head.] I've already done that one; I think I'll avoid repeating that whole song and dance.

[And considering the RPD's hospitality then, it's definitely not an experience he wants to repeat, even if he hadn't missed a kickoff and fallen!]

Let's do the simultaneous run. Easy enough, right?

[stopbleeding]

I don't want to hear that from the guy who can just skate across the air. Give me five minutes to get up to a higher level. I'll meet you around... 16th floor sound good?

[Here's hoping no one takes the shirt and jacket he's taking off. Can't have things restricting the slightest bit of movement here.]

[darkinferno]

Sure, that'll work.

[He'll wait until Zoro's on his way, and then Dante will head over to the building in question, kicking off of the wall and reorienting himself toward it again for another kickoff until he reaches the 16th floor, this time allowing the power to carry him farther and right onto one of the balconies, this one with a large hanging swing suspended from some sort of metal base.

Once he sees Zoro, he'll give a wave of recognition.]

All right--whenever you're ready!
