Mark 9 - Video

[1charmingangel]

[Jace appears on the screen with a smirk on his face.]

I believe I have found the perfect place to do this.

[He turns the device around to show he's on a cliff at the beach. He shifts it to show that the beach is...really, REALLY far down there. Anyone jumping from this cliff would be insane.]

Looks like the height I want.

[Bringing the recording back to himself, he's still grinning. The device gets set down on the rocks and the viewer gets to watch as he goes to the edge. Turning his back to it, he closes his eyes, and...falls.

The recording ends there.]

[ooc: If you're at the beach, you might see Jace flip through the air to land on his feet without damage on the beach below. Otherwise, he'll answer calls he gets when he climbs back up to get his device.]

The blood of angels, is it not? Then why can you do such a thing and he cannot?

[1charmingangel.livejournal.com]

I'm special. Isn't it obvious?

voice ;

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

I was rather under the impression that you think you are.

voice ;

[1charmingangel.livejournal.com]

You have no idea.

voice ;

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

No, indeed, I do believe I hardly know you.

voice ;

[1charmingangel.livejournal.com]

Was that a hint that you wanted to get to know me better? I'm flattered.

[ Long pause. ] I think regardless of abilities, you and William rather have quite a lot in common.

[ As in, you both use words to push people away and keep them at a distance. ]

[1charmingangel.livejournal.com]

[There's a pause on his end now. Because that's his ancestor and...

It's just complicated.]

How?

[ Again, she doesn't speak immediately. But she did start it, so it is only fair that she should answer now. ]

You would both rather come across as arrogant than risk the danger of letting anyone see you for who you are. [ That might be a little round-about, but it is the best she can describe it. ]

voice ;

[1charmingangel.livejournal.com]

Maybe I really am that arrogant. [Not really but oh well.]

voice ;

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. [ Yeah, no. She is not falling for that. ]

voice ;

[1charmingangel.livejournal.com]

[Damn. This is ruining his image.] What makes you so sure I'm like that too?

voice ;

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

Mostly it is the way you are so quick to cast yourself in a certain light.

voice ;

[It can't be seen but he's totally frowning here.] It's not my fault I'm amazing.

[There you go doing it again, Jace.]

voice ;

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

Like that.

voice ;

[1charmingangel.livejournal.com]

...Now you're just being unfair.

[It's usually what Alec or Clary does too.] Where are you?

voice ;

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

I am being honest.

In the library. Why do you ask?

voice ;

[1charmingangel.livejournal.com]

Because talking in person is far more entertaining than conducting conversation over an electronic device.

voice ;

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

That is certainly true.

voice ;

[1charmingangel.livejournal.com]

Thus the reasonable thing to do is to go find you rather than having you find me.

voice ;

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

I have been reading literature stemming from your century, lately. But I could meet you at the entrance of the library.

voice ;

[1charmingangel.livejournal.com]

That would ease the burden of searching the entire library. [Some rustling as he puts his shoes back on so he can run over there.]

voice ;

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

I am certain you would have eventually found me.

voice ;

[1charmingangel.livejournal.com]

Of course. This way I can waste less time.

voice ;

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I think that the City rather enjoys a waste of time. [ Pause. ] We should have tea.
