1st Message (again) - [video/action]

[The video feed flickers to life, giving a dazzling view of a late summer sunset over the fountain, reflecting serenely in the surface of the water.

Until something seems to fall from nowhere and land in the centre of the fountain with a large


SPLASH


Something very small, and pink, and feathery.

Oh yes, City. She's back.

After a few moments of scrambling in the water, Dulcie manages to pull herself to the edge, looking like a drowned rat.]


Ack! This is so totally unfair. I didn't land in the fountain the first time. Why not give a girl some warning?


[She stands up, unfolding two enormous white wings from behind her back, and shaking them out like a wet dog.]


I'm not, like, totally crazy about this right? I'm in The City? Because if I am...


[She leans down, face right up in the camera lens of the device on the ground.]


Hiya! Miss me?

On my way. Expect to be tackled. [Aaaand about ten minutes later, Charlie's running up to the fountain.

You're ready for that tackle-hug, right Dulcie? Of course you are.]

[justamessenger]

[Unfortunately Charlie is a little too much taller than Dulcie to get twirled, but she gets hugged back just as enthusiastically all the same, her wings spreading out to stop her from toppling over.]

[charring]

[Charlie's still hugging for a moment, grinning from ear to ear before pulling away and looking at Dulcie.] It's so good to see you. You've been missed, lady.

[justamessenger]

I missed you too, I think.

[charring]

Are you hungry? I feel like I need to feed you. You can see where I live now! I moved out of my apartment.

[justamessenger]

Starving! I'd love to see it!
