[Maia's scowling at the camera when the video feed turns on, an expression that doesn't look like it belongs with her costume.]

.......The irony of this is just sickening.

Comments

alec's not familiar with mundane tales, so this might require some explaining XD

[bottleblueyes]

[The video is focused very heavily on Alec's face, because he doesn't want people to see his costume, although it does look like he's broken into Magnus's makeup cabinet and applied a heavy coating of... something to his eyes.]

What the hell are you supposed to be?

we'll teach him /o/

[mistrustbeauty]

[Maia plucks at the hood, raising her eyebrows]

Is the red hood not clear enough?

is that a challenge, werewolf girl? XD

[bottleblueyes]

Uh... it's a red hood.

[He thinks you're stupid.]

>8D Bring it, Shadowhunter.

[mistrustbeauty]

Uh... a red riding hood?

[well, the feeling's mutual.]

Oh, it's being broughten... er, brought. <3

[bottleblueyes]

You need a red hood to go riding?

<3 failboat has been boarded? XD

[mistrustbeauty]

Do you really not know who Little Red Riding Hood is?

i think it was boarded a long time ago... unknowingly =D

[bottleblueyes]

Little who?

then we know who's winning this thing~ /o/ /pats for alec

[mistrustbeauty]

Little Red Riding Hood! You know, "Grandmother, what large teeth you have!" and all that?

alec's not really sure what you're winning as he finds mundane knowledge to be useless

[bottleblueyes]

[He blinks. This is clearly not ringing a bell to him.]

What the hell does a riding hood have to do with large teeth?

he doesn't know what he's missing~

[mistrustbeauty]

...You need to get out more.

ah, but does he care? that's the question, here XD

[bottleblueyes]

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

but he shoulddddd

[mistrustbeauty]

It's only, like, one of the most famous fairy tales ever! Come on. Everyone has to know the story of Little Red Riding Hood.

see keywords for how he feels about mundane stuff ^^

[bottleblueyes]

[He lets out a frustrated sigh and as he does, the Dreamberry slips a little, allowing the viewer to see black feathers behind him. Of course, he doesn't realize this has happened.]

A fairy tale? What do you think they teach Shadowhunters?

....

Wait, don't answer that.

it's useful stuff, man. B| (and I'm adding you as a friend on LJ, y/n?)

[mistrustbeauty]

[a shrug] Hey, it's an essential part of childhood. And anyway, Luke always says you never know what will come in handy--

[blink.]

...Alec, why are you feathered?

sure, that's fine! some of my entries can get depressing with RL stuff, tho (just fyi)

[bottleblueyes]

[That last question tips him off that she can see him, and he fumbles the Dreamberry, which falls giving an excellent vantage shot of Alec's costume, which looks something like this. He picks it up, trying to downplay this... by ignoring it.]

Uh, I'm not.

Anyway, how are mundane fairy tales supposed to come in handy?

it's all right ;; it's definitely a good place to vent. I hope all is all right, though~!

[mistrustbeauty]

I dunno, but they don't hurt to know. It kills me that you just don't get the beauty [sarcasm] of this costume.

And you're so feathered. What costume did you get? It can't be as bad as mine. Or Magnus Bane's, now that I think about it.
