[creatio]

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.)

[ stfu clary fray. ]

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

[creatio]

it could happen.
aliens could have a whole bunch of weird quirks.
like spiders for eyes.
or being made of jelly.

[risers]

You have way too much time on your hands.

[ he's going to do the thing. he's going to do it. ]

If they were made of jelly, we could eat them.

[ yep, he's humouring her. r.i.p. alexander lightwood. ]

[creatio]

that's so gross, i love it.

( Friends for life. )

answer the question, lightwood.
quit stalling.

[risers]

Why would I want to walk on my hands when they're my only weapon against aliens?

[ hello, clarissa, archer. also, isn't it telling alec doesn't go the jace or magnus route and say his delectable personality would be his weapon? hm. 🤔 ]

[creatio]

that's fair.
so jumping everywhere it is.
which you kind of do anyway.

( Long legs and archery quickness. )

[risers]

Unlike someone, I don't hop around like a little rabbit when there's no threat of alien invasions.

[ fyi das u. ]

[creatio]

i do not hop!
i stomp!!

( Clary, smash. )

[risers]

Hop hop hop.
Hi, I'm Clary Fray. I do not hop, I stomp. 🐰
Hop hop hop.

[creatio]

at least i am not an angry giraffe!!!

( wow, someone call the teacher. )

[risers]

[ WHY IS EVERYONE ALWAYS PICKING ON HIS LONG NECK. or, you know, long legs. ]

You do know giraffes are social animals, right?

[creatio]

( DOES ALEC JUST SEARCH FOR ANIMAL FACTS WHEN HE'S LONELY? )

no?
how do *you* know that?

[risers]

[ :( ]

I think the question is how do you not know that? Seriously, Clary. I thought you were all into claryfying things.

[creatio]

i'll clarify you in a minute!!!

( Someone needs a nap. )

ok then
would you rather wear clown shoes every day or a clown wig every day?

[risers]

[ the fuck. ]

Clown shoes. I've been told I need more color in my wardrobe. You?

[creatio]

you DO need more color in your wardrobe.
let's go shopping.
i saw the greatest pastel sweater ever the other day.

( Is she jerking his chain? Who knows. )

i think i'd look cool in a wig.

[risers]

And hide your hair?

[ how many times has alec wished clary would hide? she's as loud and as vibrant as that red on her head. (she's also easy to spot in a crowd, but it isn't like alec's ever looking.) ]

[creatio]

+100 sneak points.

( Though not in a clown wig, Clarissa. )

[risers]

What color is this wig again?

[ he sees right thru u sis. ]

[creatio]

okay, -100 sneak points.
here's another one.
would you rather explore space, or explore the deep sea?

[recoined]

( threadjacking for #reasons )

clary lies
she hops around like a six year old who ate too many pixie sticks

except when she's trying to be quiet, in which case she's a very small elephant

[creatio]

et tu???

[risers]

The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.

[creatio]

so you're saying i need to pick better friends?

[risers]

Yes.

[ things alec doesn't say: you don't need other friends when you have me. if he does, it ruins everything, and out of the two of them, clary is clearly the ruiner of all things. ]
