[ 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. ]

[creatio]

it's a good idea.
like it's a more interesting icebreaker than i've seen around here.

[risers]

Don't tell me the other icebreakers involved cuddling and holding hands.

[creatio]

who knows?
i think a lot of people tend to fall back on the flirting side of things.
though i sometimes hang out with people to do art stuff.

( Jace would kill anyone she tried to flirt with anyway. )

[risers]

What kind of art stuff?

[ don't think too much about this, clary. he's practicing his people skills on you, nothing more! ]

[creatio]

mostly sketching.
though i've made it into a competition to draw the most ridiculous stuff and spring it on kieren when he least expects it.

[risers]

[ don't make what he's about to say into a big deal. ]

Will you show me?

[creatio]

it might not be to your taste.

( SHE'S TALKING MUSCULAR MEN HERE, ALEC.

... Wait. )

i take that back.

[risers]

Don't tell me you draw puppies and unicorns.

[ he actually wouldn't put it past her ... ]
