video ♦ 014
[the video opens up completely without warning, offering a very good shot of Isabelle's stomach. This passes quickly, muffled protestations in a man's voice behind her getting fainter until Isabelle sets the Dreamberry up on the coffee table, and moves back to rejoin the man now revealed as her eldest brother, Alec. She shoots the camera a bright, charming grin; meanwhile, Alec looks...fairly stressed.]
Come on, Alec. I haven't seen you get out, like, ever. [Izzy takes a breath, now addressing the camera.] Somariumites! Or whatever you call yourselves - is there even a word for that? - this is my brother. One of my favorite brothers, even. Introduce yourself, Alec.
Izzy, this is stupid. [Alec crosses his arms, visibly sulking.]
It isn't stupid! You need friends. You can't just hang out with me and Jace and Magnus all the time. If you can even call what you do with Magnus 'hanging out'. [she flaps a dismissive hand, leaning against his side slightly.] Seriously. Just say hi.
Izzy... Just turn it off.
Never. Never ever. Not until you make at least one friend. And I'm totally sitting here until then.
Isabelle! [Alec gives an exasperated sigh, giving her a dark older-brothery look.]
Oh, are we having a full name party here? I had no idea, Alexander.
Fine. Do whatever you want. [he rolls his eyes, getting up to leave, but she grabs him before he gets the chance, tugging him back down; her mouth is pursed into a pout that may be mostly for the benefit of the network than Alec himself.]
Um, no.
No?
No! You need friends, and by the Angel, I am getting you some. Now introduce yourself!
Fine. [Alec looks awkwardly at the camera, sighing again before shrugging.] Hi.
That's not introducing yourself. [she leans against him again, looping her arm with hi as she beaams at the camera.] This is Alec Lightwood. He's great.
[here Alec has the decency to look absolutely mortified.] Seriously, turn it off.
Why would I do that? That would just defeat the purpose of it. Tell them what you like to do or something.
Izzy...
Don’t you ‘Izzy’ me, Alec. This wouldn’t be so difficult if you’d just do it already.
No.
Um...yeah.
[Alec rolls his eyes again, effectively looses his sister from his arm, and gets up again to leave. This time, Izzy lets him, just pouting before scrambling to switch off the video.]
[ooc: Both Izzy and Alec will be answering anyone who replies, though Alec might be sporadic and come in whenever he feels like it. Izzy just wants her brother to have friends. She’s so well-meaning.]
