39th Message - [video - forward dated to the morning]

[Good morning, City! You are greeted to the lovely sight of a very small girl, age 5-ish or so, seated on a window-sill, her legs dangling outside. She's dressed in an over-sized blouse, which is hitting her around the ankles. When she sees the light come on she grins and waves.]

Hi City! So guess what happened at midnight! I was hanging out in my room and then I felt all weird and tingly and then when I looked in the mirror I was tiny! See!

[She waves again, the extra-long sleeve of her shirt flapping over her hand.]

I wanna see if I can still fly! My wings are all funny, too.

[She stands up carefully, balancing with bare toes on the edge of the windowsill. A pair of white, fluffy wings open up behind her, looking a little downier than her usual set. With a giggle, she dives off the window, and her device turns black.]

[ooc: Yep! Dulcie has been age-reversed this weekend to 5 years old. Action for anyone who wants to find a pile of fluffly baby angel in the shrubbery underneath her apartment window. Replies coming from ducklingwings]

[Baby angel, aaaaaawwwww!! ...but wait...]

...can...can you fly on those things? They look a little...underdeveloped for flying...

HI HANNA!

[Dulcie is seated cross-legged on the sidewalk, a good deal of foliage in her hair.]

I fell in a bush!

[manofgnee]

Good thing that bush was there!! You be careful, Duls.

[He's gone into babysitter mode.]

[ducklingwings]

But I want to go flyyyyyyyyyyy.

video

[manofgnee]

Look, I'll be right over, okay? I don't think you can fly on those things, they're not going to support you.

Buuuut I can pick you up and spin you around and we'll all pretend, if that works.

[ducklingwings]

Really? That'd be SO AMAZING. And then can we play hide and seek?

Re: video

[manofgnee]

Course we can! That's what you're supposed to do when you're magically a kid again!

video

[ducklingwings]

But yooooooou're not a kid, Hanna!

video

[manofgnee]

So? I might as well be.

[the_dawnster]

Dulcie, is that you? You have cute little mini-wings! That's so wing-a-licious! Yes, I totally just made up that word.

video

[ducklingwings]

So maybe we can build a fort after?

Re: video

[manofgnee]

Well, duh!

[ video ]

[ducklingwings]

Hi Dawn! I totally have mini-wings and mini-arms and legs and EVERYTHING!

video

[ducklingwings]

You're the best! Imma see if my vorp! still works.

video

[manofgnee]

Awesome.

[the_dawnster]

It's almost too much Dulcie cuteness to handle! It must be a curse day, which is obvious I guess but still! Have you done anything super fun today?

[ video ]

[ducklingwings]

I fell out of a window!

video

[ducklingwings]

[About 20 minutes later and there's a knock on Hanna's door. A very small be-winged child is staring up at him.]

I missed a few times.

Re: video

[manofgnee]

[Hanna laughs and smiles at Dulcie, waving.]

You were probably trying to vworp like an adult and overshot things a few times.

[ video ]

[the_dawnster]

But you flew, right? Please say you flew. Cause if you didn't fly and you just fell I'm gonna have to be worry-girl.

video

[ducklingwings]

It's all so difficult like this.

[She sighs dramatically.]

And everyone is so BIG!

[ video ]

[ducklingwings]

I think I flew for a little bit! But mostly it was just falling. I think my wings are working funny.

Re: video

[manofgnee]

Even me? Dude, that's surreal to think about...you're usually taller than I am.

video

[ducklingwings]

No, silly! I'm always little. Now I'm just littler.

[She demonstrates by latching onto his leg, koala-style.]

Re: video

[manofgnee]

Nuh uh, you're not always little...

[AAAH CHILD LATCH. He laughs.]

Point made.
