001. ❚ just pretend it's a disco party. with cats. ( 2/14 - locked to wash ) [ This isn't exactly how Clary planned to spend Valentine's Day. She had plans. She had plans for a reason actually, but that's beside the point. She was going to go to a show later that at the ice rink and see figure skating live for the first time. She was going to meet up with Wash and get all the things she needed for her new cat she was going to pick up. Then everything just goes sideways. Literally. They're plunged into darkness, and Clary is pretty certain the sci-fi armageddon she had joked around about was actually going to start happening. Her nyx rune kicked in almost immediately, and she took out her witchlight to give herself more light. It took longer than she cared to admit to to get around, though she's thankful that she wasn't in a room when this all went down. All rooms seemed to be locked as she floats past them. ] Okay.... maybe this is normal.... [ She grunts to herself as she reaches the ceiling with a thud. She groans slightly, turning to wedge her fingers against anything that will give her leverage. She was already on her way to the shelter... Maybe Wash will know something. At the very least she needs to check on him. So with little else to do, she launches herself down the hall, trying to reach the shelter and Wash to help if he needs it. ] 002. ❚ heading down a long path ( 2/15 onwards ) [ As things start to level set on the ship, Clary does her best to wander and try to help where she's needed. After all, she has all these runes and she's no good at tech things. She can try to save people, though, or get them better help if necessary. Really, she just needs something to do to feel as though she's contributing, and there's no use going to work in this environment. She can be found in various places around the ship. a. Maybe saving someone from floating away when the gravity stops functioning again or b. guiding people through the dark when power goes off? c. There are plenty of places to run into her to get help throughout the ship, and she spends most of her days wandering around looking to help anyway. So asking her for assistance doesn't seem like it'd trouble her. d. There's also the potential to end up trapped with her somewhere. Sometimes these doors don't quite work right... If no help is needed, though, Clary may just approach your character. e. She seems genuinely concerned about how you're doing, even going so far as to sit with your character and ask how things are going. She wouldn't mind some friendly conversation, and she seems intent on starting it with someone. So if you need a distraction, she's ready and willing to chat. ]

[ after having worked his way out of the training facility and navigating his way in the dark, bellamy's got a knife in the belt loop of his pants and his gun slung over his shoulder. there's no time for subtelty when the power's gone out and the ship seems to be backfiring. though he's never had to experience a malfunction on the ark, he's always been prepared for it with a very simple plan: pave a path for octavia to get through unseen and to a safe location. ]

[ problem is, he can't figure out what's a safe location in this new terrain, and so he's at a door that won't budge, trying to slip the tip of his knife between the seams to pull them apart. bellamy's nose is almost pressed against the door as he tries to wedge it in there by using the dull light of his communicator on his wrist to guide him. gritting his teeth, he does his best, as if his mere mortal strength will be enough to pull them apart. ] Come on.

[angele]

[ The ins and outs of the power don't make it easy to navigate the ship these days. It seems stable for sometime, then there's just darkness. No rhyme or rhythm to it, but once it strikes it's almost impossible to navigate.

At least she's got her nyx rune, which is how she spots Bellamy down the hall as he tries to get the door apart. ]

Need some help? [ She offers as she gets closer, trying to speak up before she startles him in the dark as well. ]

[dominance]

[ bellamy chooses then and there to give up. it's not a look he wears very often, but he's come to know when to pick his battles. trying to open a door that refuses to budge beneath his mortal strength is a battle he thinks he can live with losing. after all, he's not heracles, regardless of how desperate he'd wanted to be when he was a kid. ]

[ taking a step away from the door, he looks up at it, as if checking to see it's as tall as it is or if it's budged at all at his attempts to pry. ] It's no use. [ his voice is gruff. he looks over his shoulder at her, expression one of all business and determination, ] This door's not going to open. We should find another one.

[angele]

Maybe if we try together? [ She's never really been the giving up type. For all of Bellamy's apparent frustration in his features, Clary looks calm. Almost cheerful even. She's wearing light clothes, showing off runes, but mostly just to give her more freedom of movement if things get messed up. Otherwise, she seems almost unphased by everything.

She steps up to the door, trying to find a grip between the middle. ] I know I may not look it, but I'm stronger than I seem.

[dominance]

[ the tension in his expression disappears for a moment when he looks at her, lips curving up just a little. ] I wasn't worried about that.

[ octavia's the smallest, most slender person he knows, and he's certain she would be able to move that boulder no one, not even the strongest, most formidable warrior of the grounders, could ever hope to move. judging a book by it's cover is a lesson he learned when he was younger. the strongest people are often the ones everyone else looks past. ]

[ he looks her over, ignoring the cheer she seems to hold. he's not quite assessing her for the markings on her that seem almost grounder-like, but he's searching to see how determined she really is. and once he discerns that it's the level of determination he often sees on clarke, he focuses on the task at hand. ]

I don't know if it's going to open. [ he looks at the door, then tries to pry his fingers into the gap. ] I thought about shooting it, but I don't want anyone to be alarmed.

[angele]

Or the bullet to ricochet. [ She echoes the concern. She doesn't much mind the way he assesses her. She's used to similar from Alec and Jace plenty of times over. Maybe that's why she's so determined. So many seem to think she's not such a great fit where she is, but she's more than willing to prove herself if given the chance.

And she's grateful for the chance.

She walks up to the door, sliding her fingers at the seams. ]

If we can just get something to slide into here to wedge it, even a little, I can pry it open I think. I have my strength rune activated. Hasn't failed me yet.
