[ The feed starts with Clary placing her device down, a pencil holding her hair on top of her head and her smile bright. She's in a cafe, a cup of coffee cooling in front of her and her sketchbook sitting beside that. ]

It's kind of weird how much of life is put on hold when you get here. I mean I know there's the literal pause but sometimes it's so easy to forget what we used to be like before. Like how I wanted to take art classes.

[ Another pencil - the one not buried in red locks - is lifted and twisted around her fingers. ] And I hate that I'm not drawing as much here. So I was thinking. Would anyone be interested in modelling for me? I can't pay you but I can provide coffee and a delicious cake of your choosing and it would be kind of nice to get to know people too. [ It would be nice to prove she's Jocelyn's daughter more than Valentines too, but her nightmares are notwithstanding. ] So okay, any takers? I promise it'll be as painless as possible.

Look at you, all that's missing is the Eiffel Tower in the background.

[steleheart]

[ A laugh and the tiniest hint of a blush. ] I'm from New York, the guy asleep on the subway is usually the only backdrop I've got.

[brobeforehos]

People asleep on the tube are common mostly everywhere. Any takers?

[steleheart]

Not yet.

[ Blowing on her coffee. ] If nobody says yes I'll just go back to ineffectually drawing Jace.

I had a boyfriend who drew.

[steleheart]

[ Such a gossiping face right now. ] Ooh, really?

[hexuality]

Yeah. [She grins, amused and a little nostalgic.] Dean. He's really good, I'm rubbish at it, always ended up sitting for him without knowing it.

[Airquotes:]

"Studying." Well, I was.

[trenchknives]

D'you still need volunteers?

[steleheart]

I can totally take more. It's be good for me to get different perspectives.

Re: Video

[trenchknives]

Well, I'd be happy to volunteer. My fiancee is an artist, back home. It'd be kinda nice to, I dunno, do somethin' artsy, even if I was just the model, y'know?

[livingmyths]

Modeling?

[steleheart]

For life drawing.

[livingmyths]

Oh.

Well, if it's not too hard and you need help I guess i could do that.

[Jem looks brighter and less pale. He smiles at her.]

I would be happy to sit for you, if you would like male subject for your drawings.

[video]

[steleheart]

[ Clearly their jaunt into the unknown did a lot of good. ]

I was just telling Mae I'd love to draw you, so yes please.

Re: [video]

[silvering]

[It, combined with a long rest had done a lot of good.

He looks startled at this.]

You were talking about me? I did not think I would make an interesting topic of conversation.

[whitetwoguns]

This all could be put on hold or just...a vacation.

[Just a suggestion. Heh.]

Be sure you say what kind of modeling. You don't want anybody to go on and show all that God gave em.

[steleheart]

I draw when I'm on vacation.

[ But she's smiling, her nose crinkling a little. ] I didn't think about that. Thanks, I'll be careful.

[whitetwoguns]

There we go. I'm sure you'll find a lot to draw. Weird place that this is.

[Hey, someone's gotta think about that.]

No problem. Hopefully nobody like that's around.

[pinokosthewife]

Oh, boy, cake! Pinoko'll gladly model clothes on her pretty body for cake~

[Wrong kind of modelling, Pinoko. But hey, she's got cake on the brain!] Keep the coffee.

[Video]

[steleheart]

[ A small giggle. ]

It's actually modelling to be drawn. Is that okay?

[Video]

[pinokosthewife]

Ooh, Pinoko's gonna be in a work of art?

Even better!

[monochrome_mirror]

...I didn't have any sort of life outside my work. Now it becomes curious as to what I should do with myself. I suppose, continue it however I can.

I would certainly be willing to let you draw me if you wanted to, and I won't ask even the cake from you. I should meet more citizens here, and that is reward enough.

[steleheart]

What if you got to meet me and had cake? [ Because Clary can't help herself. ] That's like doubly good. And I'd love to.

[monochrome_mirror]

If you're offering, then, I am quite willing.

When is a reasonable time for us to meet? My schedule is very free, including times when many are usually sleeping, so I doubt any time will be problematic for me.
