2nd Message - [Video]

[The camera clicks on, and is overwhelmed with the over-riding image of... PINK. Dulcie is lounging on a tree branch, an indeterminable distance from the ground. She is wearing a floaty pink mini-dress, as well as her usual torn fishnets and doc martens. She's ditched the armour at some point. In honour of the cherry blossoms, she's painted her wings with pink polka-dots. She is surrounded entirely by cherry blossoms. They are growing think and fast on the branches surrounding her, as well as falling gently from somewhere above. Dulcie is practically beaming, catching the blossoms in her hand and then letting them float down to the ground.]

If this is a curse, it's an awesome one! No one told me the City could get so pretty!

[ooc: Dulcie will be hanging out in a tree all day, so anyone wandering around downtown is welcome to come and remark at the very pink angel in the very pink tree. :-D SHE IS SOMEWHAT EASY TO SPOT.]

It is beautiful, isn't it?

[Dulcie grins and rolls over gleefully on her branch.]

It's so awesome! I'm like in pink, nice smelling heaven.

[ex_tessen852]

It's nice to know that this place can be beautiful too.

It's SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

[Dulcie looks like... she might be having a moment here. Possibly pink overload.]

[ex_tessen852]

You're really enjoying them aren't you? Do you know what they're called?

Re: [ video ]

[Dulcie places a blossom in the palm of her hand and blows it off towards the camera.]

Cherry blossom, or sakura. From the flowering Japanese Cherry Tree, or prunus serrulata in the Latin.

[ex_tessen852]

Cherry blossom? Hopefully they will stay for awhile then. It's a nice break from all weird curses that have been going on.

Re: [ video ]

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Isn't it?

Not that I've really experienced any of the weirder curses yet. But I definitely don't mind this one.

[ex_tessen852]

I've heard they can get bad, but I haven't had to deal with any of those yet.

[loonyandproud.livejournal.com]

That's how curses work, though! They can be anything! That's a lot of pink!

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

ISN'T IT, THOUGH! I think I'm in my happy place right now!

[loonyandproud.livejournal.com]

See? This place is brilliant! How far up the tree are you? Can I join you?

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

[Dulcie tips her camera down, and shows... quiet a distance to the ground.]

If you think you can manage it.

[IS THAT A CHALLENGE?]

[loonyandproud.livejournal.com]

As long as I don't have t' shinny up it.

[But when he works out where the tree is, he's changed into his worst jeans and jumper anyway. Just in case. He yells up at her, waving.]

Hello!

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Hiya!

[Dulcie drops down one branch gracefully, her boots clunking rather heavily on the wood.]

Think you can manage to get up?

[loonyandproud.livejournal.com]

I'll try!

[And so Campbell does. Branches, climbing, etc. Tall tree. Lanky man. A few branches below, he stops to rest.]

It isnae fair, cos you've got wings, really. I reckon you didnae have to fly up.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

[Dulcie scrambles up to the next branch. She is a pretty good climber, but she's flared out her wings and using them for balance.]

You're just jealous!

[designedtoparty]

Pretty or eye-searing? Because I'm leaning towards the second one.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

You're no fun!

[For that Dulcie throwing a handful of extra-pink blossoms right at the camera.]

[designedtoparty]

Hey, I'm fun! I just think there's such a thing as too much pink.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

You just can't enjoy it fully because it's been socially stigmatized for you as a male in western culture. And only within the last eighty years, I might point out.

[She rolls over so she's stretched across the branch on her back, and starts working a few blossoms together in a daisy chain.]

[designedtoparty]

So? That's my life five times over. That's more than enough time for it to be totally emasculating.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

[Dulcie rolls over again so she's draped fully over the branch. Sitting still is... difficult for her.]

Didn't you tell me you're immortal? You need to start seeing things in the long-term perspective.

[designedtoparty]

Hey, I'm not even thirty. Why would I be looking at anything long-term?

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

So... you don't know if you're ever going to age or not?
