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. ]

Actually, I thought I might come see you.

[ Whatever's happening on the ship, she doesn't want to say it's not to do with her, but she's not the best person for the job. She's very aware of her skills and talents, and when it comes to Shadowhunting she's still too new to it all. She's more qualified to help everyone else get through this, especially when systems break down at random.

But then there's Jace...

She stands behind him, slightly awkward as she watches him. ]

How have you been doing? Since... all of this happened?

[estrayer]

[ Jace stops, turning to look at her. He feels the same rush of attraction, confusion, and resulting irritation that he always does. As much as he hates himself for feeling this way about Clary, there's no doubt that he still does.

Of course she wants to know how he is. He wants to know how she is, too. He wants to know that she's safe, that she's coping, that she's okay. ]

I'm fine, Clary. [ He says that as if he's impatient with the question. He's not, but he doesn't want to talk about himself. ] Nothing I couldn't handle. How are you?

[ He nods back the way she'd come. ] I've seen you helping people. It's a good thing.

[angele]

Keeps me busy, right? [ Like that's the goal. It is a goal, though. It helps keep her mind off... the other possibilities here.

She shrugs partially. ] It's all I really can do. The technology here is all... pretty advanced. Even compared to the stuff we used to see at the Institute.

[ A pause. Her head lilts slightly to the side. ] Are you any good with tech anyway? I know Izzy was usually the scientist, but I've never really seen you mess with any of it that much.

[estrayer]

[ Jace tilts his head, lifting his eyes up to her. ]

Not this kind of tech. It’s way beyond what I know.

[ What either of them know, really. He stands straighter, folding his arms over his chest. ]

That side of things isn’t my focus. I’m best on the field. I’ll leave the forensics to Izzy, she’s the one who knows what she’s doing. We all have our skills.
