what's up cuddle people? it's clary here with a seriously important question. like, entire civilizations might depend on it important. you might want to sit down.

... you ready?

okay, here goes:

would you rather only be able to jump everywhere you go or only be able to walk on your hands?

(Who let this nerd have a phone, honestly. But at least playing along gets you ten friendship points. Or it does in her book.)

( why is kimberly replying to this message? mostly because she can, but also because this is a terrible example of would you rather. it's like a third grader's would you rather, but with less grossness. )

neither
you'll pry my scooter out of my cold dead hands, clary fray

[creatio]

that's not how the game works!!

[recoined]

it's still a legit answer
technically i guess i'd say i could only walk on my hands but you didn't say how i'd have to travel if i wasn't walking

How do entire civilizations depend on that question?

[ why are you the way you are, alec lightwood? just play along, damn. ]

[creatio]

there could be an alien invasion by a species who'll make us all walk on our hands!!!

( Also she knows his un is very serious and not at all risque but she's laughing anyway. )

[risers]

[ stfu clary fray. ]

Can you please begin claryfying what kind of alien race would value us walking on our hands instead of our feet?

I don't want to even imagine the callouses my delicate hands would get from walking around on them.

I'd rather jump everywhere... and for that reason, I would go nowhere.

[ She's too lazy to jump everywhere. She'd rather just laze around. ]

[creatio]

maybe you could get someone to carry you?

[sapphicvamp]

So in this theoretical, would I be the only person subjected to one or the other, then? Or would the person carrying me be hopping around too?

[oh this is an easy one. mostly just because she can honestly do either but one of them is more fun.]

hands down, jumping everywhere.

[doesn't hurt that she can literally leap across canyons in one go]

[creatio]

finally.
someone who's treating this with proper enthusiasm and respect!!!

( JK JK She's a mess. )

[amarillos]

i mean i didn't think the question was that important, but the answer was easy enough.

[aka calm down, clary.]

( this is a garbage answer and trini knows it )

cop-out

[amarillos]

[pfft. whatever, kimbers.]

it's an opinion. you don't have to agree.

[evogirl]

How good would we be at walking on our hands?

[creatio]

i mean, with a little practise?
people in circuses do it all the time, right

[evogirl]

Probably easier to hop too.

[killertrack]

would I still be able to drive if I do the jumping everywhere thing?

[creatio]

yeah! you'd just have to time your jumps well enough to get in the car, i guess.

[killertrack]

nothing that can't be perfected with practice, right? I think I'd pick the jumping. The jumping gets you further, faster!

[obdurates]

what if there are those among us who can jump while walking on their hands?

( sorry clary, you're dating someone just as extra as you are )

[creatio]

they'd be considered an outlier and wouldn't count.

( So there. )

that's not how this game works, you know.

[obdurates]

disqualified because i'm amazing: the jace herondale story.

feel free to let me in on the rules though, clary.

Don't tell me you're going to read your books with your feet.

Ye of little faith, Alec. I bet I can turn the page with a toe.
