[predators]

[ hello, asgard. have one ever-sour werewolf. it looks like someone has been training if the completely ruined punching bag scattered in various pieces on the floor is anything to go by.

derek isn't big on socializing which is probably clear by now, but there's nothing quite like fighting someone alive, which is why he's here today with a request much to his dislike. ]

I think it's time to test out with gift the gods gave me. [ a beat…and he tries for non-threatening with the next part, but most likely fails anyway; ] Anyone feeling up to the challenge?

[ come on, someone take the punching bag's place, please.

with that the feed is turned to private for two entirely different matters. ]

[ private to scott mccall; ]

[ derek's not all too big on contacting scott, but other than erica, there's no one else to ask this but him, so have a to-the-point-text. ]

have you heard from isaac?

[ /private ]

[ private to erica reyes; ]

where are you

[ or, you know, are you okay. he'd ask her about isaac but first he needs to know her status. ]

Comments

[whitelighting]

You sound pretty confident. [ 'Up for the challenge', anyway ]

[predators]

With reason. [ maybe not as confident with his wolf caged up and locked away, but if there's one thing derek hale is actually confident in either way, it's fighting. ]

[mccallmemaybe]

Can't you stick to punchbags instead of challenging people?

And no, I haven't heard from Isaac... Have you seen Stiles? I can't find him.

[predators]

that would be ineffective. [ they are part of a war, scott, they need to get stronger. ]

no, and i don't care. when did you last see isaac [ his problems first, scott!! ]

[suppressthedark]

[oh hello]

Maybe.

[AKA LET'S DO THIS HELL YES]

[mccallmemaybe]

[ Your face is ineffective... And Scott backspaces that for obvious reasons. ]

I don't remember... before I took Allison to the hospital? I thought you were keeping tabs on him.

[bitofajerk]

[ oh he has been waiting for this

LET'S DO THIS MR. STUPID ALPHA ]

How about we test out how easily I can take you down here?

private text;

[predators]

[ look at you, scott, making a smart choice for once.

...it takes a while for him to reply. maybe his tab keeping skills haven't been so great lately. ]

i did. i tried contacting him during the sickness. [ but needless to say that had resulted in nothing which had...well, worried him. but with the sickness being contagious and all. ]

that means he hasn't shown up since.

[ not a good thing. ]

video

[predators]

[ what happens on his face isn't a smirk per say, but the closest version of one derek has to offer. ]

A maybe won't make you stronger.

[predators]

[ jackson the suicidal lizard boy.

he has to scoff. just has to. ]

You know begging won't get you out of it if you do this. [ remember that time he was going to kill you in the hale house and you begged him not to like a sissy and it was just about the best thing ever before scott showed up and ruined it all? good times. it won't work here though. ]

private text;

[mccallmemaybe]

[ You have no idea how much Scott wants to text you are the worst alpha ever right now. He seriously can't believe he lost one of his betas. ]

Why are you picking fights with people when you should be looking for him?

You know what? I'll do it myself. [ Since you're so incompetent, Derek! ] I was gonna keep looking for Stiles anyway so have fun challenging people to the death or whatever.

private text;

[predators]

[ shh, scott, shh. misplaced, not lost... ]

it's called training, scott. [ but you wouldn't know anything about that.

but ugh. ugh. ] they'll never be found if you search alone.

private text;

[mccallmemaybe]

Maybe you need alpha training. [ Oops forgot to backspace that one. ]

I can't ask Allison. She needs her rest. [ Actually she's fine now, Scott's just paranoid. ] And Jackson won't help me unless there's something in it for him. [ Which there isn't. If Derek is implying he comes along, Scott hasn't caught on. ]

private text;

[predators]

[ .................scott, do you want to ~accidentally~ get lost while they are out there searching?

also good. he doesn't want an argent looking for isaac anyway. jackson would start bitching five minutes into it. ] erica will search as well.

[ things between himself and erica might be a little uncertain right now but he has no doubt she'll jump right into looking for isaac when he hears back from her. also scott please don't make him actually say it. or text it. ] where are you right now?

video

[bitofajerk]

[ little bo derek -- i mean

please. what're you scoffing at. :| ]

Like I'd ever beg in front of you. [ ....again. ] C'mon Derek. You said you wanted a challenge.

video

[predators]

Exactly, a challenge. You don't apply. [ scott would be a bigger challenge than you. or so he thinks. ]

video

[bitofajerk]

Fine by me. If you're too much of a scared bitch. [ see what he did there YEAHHHH ]

video

[predators]

[ seriously? no really, seriously? ]

I'm not taking you to the clinic after I break all your bones.

video

[bitofajerk]

[ oh please now you're just making him laugh ]

The more you underestimate me, the funnier it's going to be when I kick you ass. And you've got it coming too.

video fjdfj that icon

[predators]

[ well, he's been somewhat expecting this since he killed jackson. maybe even looked forward to it. ]

We'll see. It's taken you long enough to get your act together after what I did to you, after all. [ it's been a while since they last spoke-- not since then, in fact. ]

video i clearly need to use it more

[bitofajerk]

[ so has he because he's had plenty of time to sit and get angry about letting himself be trapped like that where there had been no choice but for him to be killed. and by Derek of all people who probably took some sick pleasure in it.

So yeah, he's looking forward to it. ]

That was different. How about you and I see how much of my act I've really got together.

video it's a perfect 'i'm laughing bc i'm better than you' icon

[predators]

[ justified pleasure, gecko. ]

Don't really see the difference, but since you're feeling downright stupid today... alright. [ it's like he's ~gracing jackson with a fight~ ...which he is, if you ask him. ]

[cockiness]

around. staying very very far away from both argents.

[ and you, but you know, whatever, not going to talk about that. ]

why?

text, private »

[predators]

[ good. smart girl. well, good about the first part, the second... he might get to that in a bit. ]

when's the last time you saw/were in contact with isaac?

video perfect for using on derek 8)

[bitofajerk]

[ he cracks his knuckles all dramatic like because yeah, it's on ]

Might want to pick some place nice. Considering you're going to spend a lot of time crashing into the ground there.
