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. ]

[viber]

What does a name matter between friends?

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

Alight McRiddlepants.

[risers]

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. ]

[viber]

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.

[risers]

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. ]

[viber]

Well, then.

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

[risers]

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

Alec Lightwood.

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

[viber]

And now I know it so we are friends.

See.
I won.
No takesies-backsies.

[risers]

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. ]

[viber]

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?

[risers]

[ 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. ]

[viber]

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.

[risers]

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.

[viber]

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.

[risers]

[ 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. ]

[viber]

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.]

[risers]

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. ]

[viber]

Eh.
I dunno
He's a bit of a




Smart alec

[Boom.]

[risers]

[ stares into the camera. there'll be no admitting that was well-timed nor slightly funny. instead: ]
