( 001 ) clairvoyance // video // unlocked to both courts.

( The image that appears isn't that of the owner of the voice, but a sketchbook. In it, a sketch, of one of the areas of the inside of Caer Scima. One that Clary herself did. There are other drawings, but she's not about to divulge them just yet. For now... )

I've only ever seen archways close to this at the New York Institute... The architecture here doesn't match what I've seen of fairies' work before. They're underground, in their realm, and just about everything is made out of trees and leaves and flowers. This is... Completely different. I'm trying to draw pretty much anything and everything that I can. If I ever make it back... There are people who'd wanna know all of this. Anyway...

( The video shifts focus to a redheaded girl with bright green eyes, covered in freckles... And strange black markings, symbols, all over her skin. She smiles. )

Has anyone else ever had an experiences with fairies before coming here?

Do you have another name, maybe? ( My dad's name was Valentine pls no. )

[caditquaestio]

[ Well, then. ]

...Iulius.

[artem]

I'm -- sorry. My father's name was Valentine. ( Awkward face. )

I'm Clary.

[caditquaestio]

Ah. How... unfortunate of me to... share the name.

[artem]

It's not your fault. And so far, you don't seem like you're anything like him. Just... kind of a weird coincidence.

[caditquaestio]

If it soothes your heart, know that I begrudge it.

[artem]

Why not go by something else, then? Change your name?

[caditquaestio]

As actors and thieves do?

[artem]

You wouldn't be an actor or a thief if you legally changed your name to something you liked better, and were up front about your reasons.

[caditquaestio]

[ And now for the obligatory bewildered silence. ]

You... wish... for a day's stranger to chance his name on your count.

[artem]

( She shrugs her shoulders. ) You said you didn't like it either. I don't care either way. It's just weird that you share my biological father's name.
