Mun is feeling Nostalgic. Muse is worrying.

Miss Mundane, I will concede that I'm lonely and that I miss both Will and Jem, but we both know that this idea of sending me to one of those games is a passing whim.  Even if you found a place for me, I would probably never see them again.  I have been blessed that Jem found me again, but Will...

It's been so long since we've seen him...

If you must send me away, send me to those dressing rooms you found.  Then you wouldn't feel so pressured by the applications and activity checks.  Perhaps there we can find someone from my era that might be interested in this "CR' you've been talking about. 

And perhaps Jem's illness could be slowed in such a place and we'll see Will and the others again.

You should forget about Will.

[tessa_gray]

I cannot forget about Will any more than I could forget about Jem. Or Charlotte could forget about Henry.

[Or a certain Lightwood could forget about Cecily, but that most likely antagonize Gabriel.]

[gabriellightwood]

He's not worth your time.

[tessa_gray]

Gabriel, you must set aside this animosity towards Will. He is a good man, troubled but honorable in his own way. I know he wronged your family in the past, but such things should be forgiven.

[gabriellightwood]

..... My mun says they think they should do something called a 'canon update'. Then I won't be so... prickly.

[Gabriel glares at his mun.]

Such rudeness.

[tessa_gray]

[Tessa has seen many points in their canon and done some things she isn't quite proud of, but the idea of what Gabriel might learn from that update causes her to smile.]

I believe a 'canon update' would improve your outlook on things. You might find Will more tolerable then.

[Or Cecily will be so outspoken on the subject that Gabriel will be forced to admit that Will is a better man that the Lightwoods every thought.]</small. Fighting amongst ourselves will only hurt the Nephilim. Is his foolishness really worth what the possible cost might be?

[parabatai]

You should be more careful, you know. Speak the Devil's name and he Will answer.

[ Cue absolutely dazzling (and possibly shit eating) grin. ]

...Tess.

[gabriellightwood]

If he wishes to be a fool I will not stop him.

[tessa_gray]

But you could stop antagonizing him.

[gabriellightwood]

He started it.

[parabatai]

[gabriellightwood]

[glares]

[parabatai]

What?

[ The most innocent of faces. ]

I had something unpleasant caught in my throat.

[ Smiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiles. ]

[tessa_gray]

[Her expression wavers between exasperation and amusement, gray eyes bright with a rare happiness that she thought she might not have again.]

If you're trying to convince me that you're the devil, it won't work. You know that I see through those acts of yours.

[But there's a smile curving her lips at having her Will near again, something both she and Jem have wished for. Then, her expression dims slightly as she realizes he might not have the same memories she does.]

Will... I am almost frightened to ask, but what are your last memories of our reality?


(ooc: Planned or not, it's perfect. Of course the emphasis had to be made.)

[gabriellightwood]

Sadly, you didn't choke on it.

[parabatai]

Why Gabriel, I'm touched. I didn't know you cared.

[gabriellightwood]

Miss Gray was incorrect. You are not tolerable at all.

[parabatai]

I suppose you would know, as the obvious expert on all things Will Herondale related. I'll get you some kind of framed certificate, you can show it off to all your friends and family. Or perhaps I'm mistaken, and you're simply an expert on all things intolerable-

in which case, there are some rather obvious questions to be raised.

[ Like how you stand yourself; but he figures that the suggestion is implied well enough not to ask it. ]

[gabriellightwood]

Do not even think to insult my family.

[parabatai]

Who needs to think it? You all do a rather fine job of doing it yourselves.

[gabriellightwood]

From what I am hearing about my future you would do best to hold your tongue or you insult your own sister.

[parabatai]

Well, I'm afraid there's no accounting for taste in some people. [ Even as much as he loves Cecily. ]

[gabriellightwood]

So you disapprove. Just one more reason to label you as intolerable.

[parabatai]

[ Will's smile almost falters at her words, at her question, but there is still something slightly guarded about the expression.

Here, there are no boundaries to his memory. It is both a blessing, and a curse, and so he answers her in the only way he knows how. ]

"I see the lives for which I lay down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy, in that England which I shall see no more. I see Her with a child upon her bosom, who bears my name. I see her father, aged and bent, but otherwise restored, and faithful to all men in his healing office, and at peace. I see the good old man, so long their friend, in ten years' time enriching them with all he has, and passing tranquilly to his reward."

[parabatai]

I don't, actually. Cecily is my sister, she's got a fine head on her shoulders and she must see something in you. Whatever that could be may be unfathomable to me-

but as long as she's happy, that really doesn't matter.

[gabriellightwood]

But if you insult me, you insult her.

So you need to learn to be nice.

lmao i can't resist this, but pretend it's not here.

[artem]

[ Clary walks in and walks out just like Grandpa Simpson but not before marveling over the fact that these are Jace and Alec's ancestors, respectively. If only they knew. ]

[tessa_gray]

[Tessa knows better than to get involved in their bickering but there is a certain point where she feels that she needs to step in.]

I believe that both of you need to learn to be nice. Will, you know that constantly antagonizing Gabriel will hurt Cecily.

[Then, her attention turns toward the other half of the argument.]

And you should consider your own advice, Gabriel.

[tessa_gray]

[For a moment, Tessa wonders if it would have been better not to ask and simply hope that Will remembered her with the same love she felt for him. Then, as he recites those familiar words, she realizes that her fears were foolish and Will does remember, or at least knows of their happiness together.

Bright laughter escapes her as she forgets the fears that had held her back embracing him tightly, her face pressed to his shoulder.]

The last time I saw you - a version of you - you still believed you were cursed and you had just said those terrible things to me. I thought I might never see you from a time when you knew the truth.

Re: lmao i can't resist this, but pretend it's not here.

[gabriellightwood]

XD

[gabriellightwood]

... He started it.
