[Voicemail Message: 4th Wall Weekend]

[manofgnee]

Uh...Dulcie? I...er...I don't know if you remember me, but we were pals and you once got stuck in my body and dressed me up like a girl.

Can I come stay with you for the weekend? I think I got stuck here again. Probably not forever, though. Heh.

Oh, and it's Hanna, by the way. In case I didn't make it obvious.

[justamessenger]

[Forget calling back, wherever Hanna is he is now being tackled by a feathery bundle of excited pink angel.]

HANNA!

action;

[manofgnee]

AAAAAAAAH! Hi, Dulcie!


[Hanna grins and hugs her right back because ONE OF HIS BEST PALS IS HERE!]

action;

[justamessenger]

[She keeps wrapped around him as tightly as she can.]

I came back and you were GONE it was horrible.

action;

[manofgnee]

It's not like I wanted to leave...! I'm glad to be back here, honestly. Even if it's for a day, because I'm sortakindagettingshotatbackhome.

Re: action;

[justamessenger]

[Pulling back to inspect you now.]

Are you okay?

action;

[manofgnee]

Errr...I think so? I don't feel dead, anyway.

action;

[justamessenger]

[She puts a hand over his heart.]

Seems to be workin' okay.

action;

[manofgnee]

Yeah, everything is still in working order. Still, glad to be here instead of there!

action;

[justamessenger]

Me too.

[Come here she needs, like, five more hours worth of hugs.]

action;

[manofgnee]

Man, it is GREAT to see you again. I missed you when you left, you know.

action;

[justamessenger]

Likewise. Sometimes this place is really really mean.

action;

[manofgnee]

Sometimes? This place is always mean.

But it's so awesome to see you again!

action;

[justamessenger]

It just isn't the same around here without you.

Re: action;

[manofgnee]

I missed you...so I know the feeling.

Sometimes, at home...it's like a weird dream I only kinda remember, you know?

[anatural]

[For some reason, even though she's lost all hope of getting her bending back, Korra has felt compelled to practice her non-airbending forms. Air is the only element she can move, but she still prefers going through the slow, smooth motions of water bending.

It's like picking at a scab, or writing a letter home you'll never send.

She's in the park, her new favorite place to be, practicing yet again. After running through the water bending basics, she kicks into high gear with some of her favorite advanced fire bending forms. Those unfamiliar with bending might look around and wonder where the music is, so like a dance it seems]

[justamessenger]

[Look up, up, waaaaaay up! After Korra finishes her fire bending routine, a round of applause comes from one of the near by sturdy oaks trees.]

[anatural]

[Korra doesn't jump -- when you practice in public like she's had to do, you get used to people watching and commenting. But it does take her a bit to find the source of the clapping.]

...thanks?

[She peers around, and finally finds her hidden audience member. Have a smile that's a mixture of confusion and pleasure.]

[justamessenger]

That's really beautiful. You look like you've practiced a lot.

[anatural]

All my life.

[She flushes a little with pleasure. She's been called strong, powerful, even amazing, but almost nobody has talked about how beautiful the forms look.]

Do you do any martial arts?

[justamessenger]

Not for a very very long time.

[She swings both legs down off the branch, doc martens dangling some ways over Korra's head.]

[anatural]

Why?

[justamessenger]

I get bored easily. You make it look like fun again, though.

[anatural]

How could you find it boring?

[She's not judging. She just can't ever imagine being bored by it.]

[justamessenger]

There are just so many things in the world, I get distracted.

[She hops down off the branch, shaking stray leaves off her wings once she lands.]

Have we met? I'm Dulcie.

[anatural]

K-Korra.

[It's a person with wings. A PERSON WITH WINGS. She's never seen one of those before! Talk about distracted.]

[justamessenger]

Hi. Nice to meet you.

[Handshake?]

[anatural]

[It takes Korra a moment to remember what to do with the proffered hand. Her handshake is surprisingly weak considering her strength; she still doesn't really grasp the concept.]

You too. So...what other things do you do?

[Besides have wings.]

[justamessenger]

Around here? Lots of stuff. Do you think you could teach me how to do that?

[anatural]

Sure! Where do you wanna start?

[justamessenger]

At the beginning usually works well.

[infernoandhearth]

[Hey, GUESS WHAT?! After the epic recorder jam session, Luke and David send this song right back.]

[justamessenger]

[She loves you, boys.]

Piping pipers!

[othersdie]

[Justin may have mentioned, offhandedly, while talking to a friend outside, how kind Dulcie is.

He had no intention of having a piper chase Dulcie down for a song]

voicemail;

[anatural]

I'm going dancing tonight, [insert time and location here]. Wanna come?

[justamessenger]

[Try to keep her away.]
