28th Message - [accidental video]

[dulcisnuntius]

[Dulcie's apartment flickers into view. Her device is lying on its side, so the angle is slightly skewed and to the side. Everything in the room is bright, vivid colours. Perhaps even stronger than before this curse started, although it's hard to tell. Dulcie is curled in a ball in the far corner of her living room, her face shielded with her arms

[Nathan isn't good at this whole supportive boyfriend thing, but at least he shows up. He's obviously not all that comfortable as he tentatively makes his way across the living room, just sort of hovering in front of her with his hands stuffed into his pockets for a moment before he decides to sit down next to her. He doesn't say anything, barely even looking at her besides the occasional uncertain glance.]

[Dulcie is much less hesitant. As soon as he's sat down next to her she turns and wraps her arms around his neck. She's not crying as hard as she was before, but her a few tears are still escaping out of the corner of her eyes, and she hiccups with every few breaths.]

[He awkwardly puts arm around her, stroking her in a way that's probably intended to be comforting.]

You all right? [She's obviously not, but he's really not sure what else he's meant to say.]

[dulcisnuntius]

[Dulcie nods against his neck, hiccuping still. She pulls back a little to wipe at her eyes, her gaze fixed firmly on the floor.]

Yeah. I am.

I think maybe a girls night in is required. With ice cream and bourbon shakes.

And extra chocolate sauce?

Re: voice;

[mghtbconcussed]

Yup. Plus caramel sauce and whipped cream and maybe a movie with girls kicking butt.

Sounds like a plan.

You sure? If there's anything I can do -

[ That's what normal, nice people say, right? Alisha doesn't really know how to go about caring for someone. ]

Re: video

[dulcisnuntius]

It's okay. But thank you. It means a lot to me that people were worried.
