Look what I just got!

[ A picture follows the text: pages of paper fanned out on her bed, complete with a few pens and some pieces of burnt items fashioned into pencils. ]

Hope you're ready to model soon, Bellamy. :)

[tombom]

[ He's happy for her. He knows she loves art - creating something out of nothing - so to have a piece of what she loves here? It should make her happier and that's somehow become important to him. ]

Lucky girl. How'd you get it?

It's hard for me to tell if you're excited about making art or for having an excuse to stare at me for a long period of time.

[biscuity]

James Ironwood found it and gave it to me as a thank you for helping draw up some maps.

[ She should probably put some of these pages towards making more, but there's plenty in the stack. She can focus on actual art for a while instead, right? ]

Can't I be equally excited about both?

[ Okay, maybe she's marginally more excited about the excuse to stare at him, but can he blame her? ]

[tombom]

The general? That was nice of him. [ He likes James. He respects him. And he's got a cool gun which Bellamy is envious of. ]

You can but we both know which one I'd rather you be more excited about.

So should I be practising poses for you?

[biscuity]

He's a really nice guy. [ Reminds her a little bit of Luke, actually. Which is one of the biggest compliments she could give someone. ]

The art, right?
Just kidding. ;)

[ Honestly, if there's a day where Clary's more excited to draw or paint than to stare at Bellamy, they should probably worry. ]

Please! I'm curious to see what poses you come up with without instruction.
Especially the naked ones.

[tombom]

Of course the art. I feel very passionately about your career in the art world.

[ It's funny how he's joking but also really wants her to be a famous artist one day. ]

And here I thought you were gonna draw me naked in all of them.

It might be challenging for me to look back at you while holding these positions.

[biscuity]

Thanks for the support. I'll be sure to thank you in all of my award acceptance speeches.

[ She does genuinely appreciate it like she does so many aspects of Bellamy. ]

I thought I'd at least do one or two clothed, but I'm definitely not going to complain if you want to strip every time.
You could close your eyes? Or I could blindfold you.

[ Ideas start to percolate for her with that suggestion and not all of them are art related. ]

[fortune500]

Bellamy? This is Asami.

Just checking in to make sure you're okay. I don't know what the heck that was, but it looks like they're gone for now.

[tombom]

Hey. Good to hear from you. You doing okay?

Apart from my pride being wounded from my gun not working on those things, I managed to escape unscathed. I'm getting pretty tired of feeling useless here though.

[fortune500]

As okay as I can be, considering where we are and everything that's happened.

None of my combats skills were of any help either. Not even my electricity gauntlet did anything, it really just made them angrier.

Glad to hear you're not injured. Has stuff like this happened here before?

[tombom]

You have an electricity gauntlet. [ When can he see it and can she make him one?? ]

Other than that incident with the robots I mentioned to you, this is the first I've seen of monsters here.

I thought we only had to worry about sex until this happened.

[fortune500]

Yeah. They let me keep it, for some reason. You can try it out sometime, if you want.

Weird. I remember you telling me about the robots. It's kind of hard to imagine, since they're so...

Let's just say it's hard to imagine a robot uprising when they're fond of wearing maid outfits. I definitely believe you, though.

[tombom]

Is tomorrow good for you?

Maybe the maid outfits is to throw us off the scent.

At least they were on our side against those things. I heard they wanted their treasure back. Who the hell took it from them?

[biscuity]

help?? there's someone h

[biscuity]

I'M FINE DON'T PANIC sorry i bumped send walking and texting is way easier on actual phones why did they think bracelets were a good idea

[ Although it's clear with her lack of capital letters and punctuation that something's going on. ]

apparently it's just 3/3, i'm done now

[biscuity]

there's someone here who looks like me but she's blonde and i'm freaking out how is this even possible

1/3

[tombom]

[ And since he's doing exactly what she told him not to - panic - he stops using capital letters too. ]

you can't start a message with "help" and expect me not to panic?!

[tombom]

clary just breathe for a minute

[tombom]

it was definitely a person, not a hallucination? you haven't eaten or drank anything weird recently? because I once ate bad nuts and saw crazy things

1/2

[biscuity]

DEFINITELY a person unless hallucinations can nearly hit me in the face with doors now

[biscuity]

i don't know what to do, bellamy. she looks just like me, just with blonde hair and no runes. maybe a little older i guess but it's like someone cloned and photoshopped me or something.

1/2

[tombom]

are you okay? physically I mean

[ He knows she's not okay mentally right now. ]

[tombom]

so there are physical differences. does she share your name?

1/2

[biscuity]

yeah, i stopped the door in time

[biscuity]

no, her name's mia.

[ If they'd shared a name, Clary would be freaking out way worse than she is right now. ]

i just found out i had a brother back home, now i have to deal with... a twin? a doppelganger? i don't even know what to call her.

[ Maybe this wouldn't be as offputting if her world back home hadn't been turned upside down — repeatedly — right before getting whisked to this crazy island. ]
