1. TEXT ➳ UN: ALIGHT

[ 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. ]

By the sounds of it, 15.

I used to give my little sister my white bread. Nothing wrong with wholemeal if she was enjoying herself.

[ in this scenario, it's white bread. in reality, it's anything and everything. if max wanted his ice-cream, he'd give it to him on the promise he enjoy it. ]

DUDE.
I do not sound fifteen.
That hurts.

Everyone smart gives out white bread. White bread is the BEST.
Good brothers give their siblings white bread sandwiches.
Kudos.

My brother never gave me a sandwich.
He did once give me a dead leg that lasted two days.

Fifteen and a half.

[ that's as nice as he's going to be. ]

Why did he give you a dead leg? Figured you'd talk him out of giving you one. You seem good at that.

You are the worst, friend. WORST.

I can't remember but he was always big on the pain. Brothers, amirite??? Whatever. No biggie cause it doesn't matter and it's just like

so

hey, you like the way I talk?

[Yep, he's gonna get his ass out of this conversation about Dante before it gets to real and he has to have feelings about his butthead older brother. Soul crushing feelings. Stupid family.]

[ alec thinks he can see what this cisco ramon's doing. he's blabbering, as one who likes to overshare does — and like one who wishes to overcompensate and distracts does, too. a part of him thinks to pursue this path of wholemeal bread vs white bread and what it truly means if someone gives you a certain slice, but alec isn't cruel. he doesn't need to know whether or not this "dante" is dead. sometimes childhood trauma is just too traumatic ... like not being given white bread can scar a kid. ]

We're not friends.

WELL.
That hurts
I thought we had something special :(

Bro 💔💔💔

Did you really just use broken heart emojis to try and emotionally blackmail me?

[ joke's on you, cisco, alec has no emotions. ]

Just trying to convey how much you hurt me. FOR NO REASON.
Bros don't do that to bros.

Do you even know my name?

What does a name matter between friends?

You're like... you know
I mean
Name wise?
You're Alight.

Alight McRiddlepants.

Edited 2017-10-21 10:01 (UTC)

I'm like you know.

[ tf. ]

You're Cisco Ramon and I'm Alight McRiddlepants. That seems believable to you?

[ the main question is: who would name their kid "alight"? mcriddlepants, though, is a neat surname. ]

I'm C-Dog, dude.
And we could totally solve crime with those kickass names.

🎵 C-Dog and Alight McRiddlepants
Solving riddles and kicking buttttttt 🎵

... I mean I'll work on our theme but that's the gist right there.

I'm not going by Alight McRiddlepants for my crime-solving name. No one would even talk to me. Come up with something better.

[ does that mean you're not opposed to solving crime, alec? hmm. ]

Well, then.

Tell me your real name and I'll see what I can do.

[ he's going to regret this, isn't he? ]

Alec Lightwood.

You'd have known that before if we were truly friends.

And now I know it so we are friends.

See.
I won.
No takesies-backsies.

We're still not friends. And we won't be friends if you say "takesies-backsies" again.

[ that's just embarrassing, man. he spares a second to wonder who would survive out of simon and cisco if they were stuck in a room together. ]

You're so strict about friendship. It's ridic, dude.

Also I came up with your crime fighting name.
So I'm thinking
'Smart Alec' cause, well, google it.

Did i deliver or did I deliver?

[ the sad thing is, max would like that superhero name for his big brother, and he'd push for him to adopt it until the ends of his days. however, this isn't something cisco needs to know about. ]

It's not exactly original. My younger brother can do better than that, and he's 12.

[ will alec ever accept anything cisco says to him? we'll just have to wait and see. ]

Yeah but your younger brother doesn't have my swag or my ability to make you a super badass crime fighting suit with the name perfectly stitched into it.

[Take that 12 year old child.]

Not to brag but I sew like a champ.

Edited 2017-10-22 10:23 (UTC)

I don't need a crime fighting suit. My jeans and jacket are just fine.

Also, please never mention your ability to swag ever again.

You're so mean to me.

It's a good thing we've been friends for so long or I might be hurt right now. Luckily, I get you.

[ he half wonders why cisco keeps pushing. anyone else would up and leave at the first receipt of a very concise text. ]

What happened to your swag? I had the impression you could swag your way through anything.

[ before cisco even thinks it, alec was already this bad. using words he doesn't like against people? yep. ]

My swag comes in waves. Right now I'm very unswaggity because some dude is cramping my style but it's not his fault.

He's just afraid to like me and it's causing us hella communication issues.

[It's you. It's you, bro. Just let your ol' pal Cisco in.]

He sounds like an intelligent person.

[ you can knock all you like, cisco. he's legit going to stand by the door and not open it. ]
