[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.]

Well he's still as cute as ever.

[nolessthanseven]

Of course he is. He's a Lightwood. We're all good-looking.

[prettyhazknight.livejournal.com]

But he's the shy one~ I like that.

[ischarming.livejournal.com]

[Izzy you are hilarious.]

Iz...you've scarred him for life.

[nolessthanseven]

Oh my goodness. Jace, make him come back.

[ischarming.livejournal.com]

And what would possess me to do that?

[ofredemption.livejournal.com]

..Some relationship you have there.

[nolessthanseven]

What's that supposed to mean?

[ofredemption.livejournal.com]

Do you have to boss everyone around?

[doctor-tatsu27.livejournal.com]

I doubt that you've inspired him to try for something more social.

[nolessthanseven]

How do you know? At least this way people know his name now.

[doctor-tatsu27.livejournal.com]

Yes we could all tell he appreciated it.

[distortedawn.livejournal.com]

[Well, someone's enjoying the sight of sibling bickering.]

Are you two always like this?

[nolessthanseven]

Always. He's fickle sometimes, but I know he adores me. Deep down.

[distortedawn.livejournal.com]

Oh, I can tell. Hopefully just not too deep.

Is it working yet?

{Magnus is late to reply. That is to say, late by the standards of someone always up on gossip. It was due to a mental weighing of pros and cons - the obvious pro being able to speak to Alec, if he isn't entirely out of earshot, and the con, having to talk to Isabelle. Oh, well. He's bored}

Nice try.

[hotforwarlock.livejournal.com]

Please, don't.

[nolessthanseven]

[yeah, she totally wants to talk to you too, Magnus.]

Worth a shot. Even if you'd rather just keep him locked away in your bedroom until the end of time.

[unindicative.livejournal.com]

... You're a very persistent sister, Isabelle-san.

[hotforwarlock.livejournal.com]

She's just being bothersome.

[nolessthanseven]

You got that right. I don't know what Alec would do without me.

[dungeongeek.livejournal.com]

How are you two related again?

[hotforwarlock.livejournal.com]

Blood, mostly.

[hacksinundies.livejournal.com]

[Have a good-natured chuckle, guys.]

Good to finally be able to place face to the name.

[nolessthanseven]

Hey, that's right! You've never met him before.

Wanna help him get to know people?
