[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

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

[dulcisnuntius]

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

[loonyandproud]

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

[dulcisnuntius]

[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]

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]

Hiya!

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

Think you can manage to get up?

[loonyandproud]

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]

[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!

...*climb up. I tagged drunk.

[loonyandproud]

Oi, stop that! [Campbell goes back to climbing. HE MUST REACH THE SAME HEIGHT.]

Re: ...*climb up. I tagged drunk.

[dulcisnuntius]

[Dulcie takes pity on the poor, pathetic human and stops a few branches short of the top. She straddles the log, grinning down at him.]

Isn't today the best day ever?

[loonyandproud]

[Campbell climbs a bit more, and then stops under her again because too many people near the top... He can already feel the branches bending a bit.]

Aye, it's a nice day, definitely. Very pink.

[dulcisnuntius]

[Dulcie lounges out across the branch, kicking her boots up onto the trunk.]

I could get used to this, you know. Do you think this curse is going to last a while? 'Cause I kind of want to move into this tree.

[loonyandproud]

[Campbell leans back against the trunk and braces his feet on a branch below the one he's sitting on, looking up at Dulcie.]

I wouldnae think so. I've never seen a curse last more than two days. Unless this isnae a curse.

[dulcisnuntius]

Oh.

[Dulcie's wings droop a bit.]

So, are you really in a rock band, or were just saying that to impress the newbie?

[loonyandproud]

No, I actually am! We're called Time Bomb. Me actually bein' a DJ should be enough t' impress anyone wi'out me telling tales about rock stardom. Being both just makes me pure dead magic! [He's grinning, and a bit jokey, though.]

[dulcisnuntius]

Do you guys do a lot of shows? I haven't been to a rock concert in ages.
