1. TEXT ➳ UN: ALIGHT

[risers]

[ it comes in the middle of the night: ]

The more you take, the more you leave behind. What am I?

[ though he could easily write a post to engage with the network at large, doing that is too simple. alec isn't too interested in placing more of his personal information online for anyone to find — privacy is key, and being in the shadows is literally what he does best. ]

[ in other words: alec's bored but doesn't want to be clary levels of social. ]

[risers]

I'm waiting for my mind to be blown. Is it going to be anytime tonight? I've got plans tomorrow.

[ the most expression shown in a text goes to this very one. congratulations, cisco, you actually won the lottery here. ]

[wildkingdom]

Footsteps.

[The only reason she knows that one is because she's heard it before. She's not a huge fan of riddles but this one at least is fairly common sense.]

I'm not giving you one back. Riddles are dumb.

[risers]

[ that's something right out of max's (and jace's) mouth. alec doesn't feel the need to tell her riddles are great for honing out your common sense and thinking skills, considering he doesn't like listening to long-winded stories that feel like a riddle. to each their own. ]

You got a joke, then?

[wildkingdom]

[Look, her dad talks in riddles professionally, and he's kind of a dick so it hasn't left her with warm fuzzy feelings about riddles.]

What do you call a blind dinosaur?

[ARE YOU READY FOR HER FAVORITE JOKE IN THE WORLD?]

@purgatory

[makeyourpeace]

most people need it, some ask for it, some give it, and almost nobody takes it. what is it?

[risers]

I don't need advice, if that's what you're hinting at.

[ yes, he does. how does he make himself more likeable that doesn't involve smiling and laughing? ]

[makeyourpeace]

spoken like a true human being.
also, i never hint.

A cloud. Or Silent Brother

[ lbr, everyone agrees those guys need some sun and some good shades to wear over their stitched up eyeballs. ]

I am a ship that can be made to ride the greatest waves. I am not built by objects, but built by minds. What am I?

[creatio]

silent brothers don't cry.
they just inflict pain on other people to cope with their emotional damage.

um, the jolly roger.
no wait, that's a real ship.
