I was re-reading City of Bones and got this idea from pg 98. It's my first fanfic so be nice (and yes I know that was clichéd). =]
ooooOoooo
"The marks are only part of it. There are tests, ordeals, levels of training – look, just forget it, okay? Stay away from my blades. In fact, don't touch any of my weapons without my permission," Jace said crossly.
"Well there goes my plan for selling them all on eBay,' Clary muttered.
"Selling them on what?"
Clary smiled blandly at him. "A mythical place of great magical power. Also known as a website on the internet."
"In-ter-net?" For once Jace looked puzzled. Clary's shocked expression turned into a smug one. "You don't know what the internet is? Jace Wayland doesn't know something?!"
"It's obviously just slipped my mind. Why don't you refresh my memory then?" Jace asked quietly, some of his huge ego finally taking a hit. "The internet is this worldwide thing with all these websites…oh, but you won' know what they are. I wish Simon was here, he could explain this, so much better," Clary sighed, frustrated. "Of course you wish Simon was here," Jace said, waggling his eyebrows suggestively. Clary opened for mouth for an insulting comeback as Dorothea returned.
"He doesn't know what the internet is? With a head that big you would have thought he'd have some brain in there," Dorothea said, her mouth curling into a smug grin. "No, he doesn't!"Clary laughed. "And you do, Madame Dorothea?" Jace asked, getting very annoyed. "Just because I'm old doesn't mean I'm stupid," Dorothea snapped back. "Okay, but none of you have told me what this internet thing is yet," Jace replied. "I have a computer, we can show you, but your tea will get cold" Dorothea warned.
"Oh…no," Jace said, back to his usual sarcasm.
"Your loss, not mine," Dorothea replied. "Follow me then."
She led them into a darkly lit room that looked just like Clary's, upstairs, but this room smelled like burnt rosemary and was exceptionally clean. Dorothea strode to the computer at the back of the room, from which most of the light in the room was coming from. She clicked the icon for the internet. They waited in silence. Clary turned to look at Jace's face. It was screwed up in concentration and anticipation.
"Stupid thing, so slow to load," Dorothea complained, hitting the computer. When the internet finally loaded Jace gasped. "If I didn't know any better I'd say this was magic,"
"Where have you been living all your life?" Clary wondered.
"In Idris and we don't have computers there," Jace replied, clearly annoyed again.
"But we do have them in New York," Clary stated.
"I'm a Shadowhunter, when would I have the time for this?" Jace said dryly. "Can I have a go?" He asked Dorothea.
"Alright but don't break it. I want Clary supervising. I'll make more tea," And with that Dorothea was off.
"So what do you do on this thing?" Jace grinned.
"Go on eBay if you want," Clary told Jace.
"How?"
"You type it in the bar at the top," Clary instructed.
Jace typed painfully slow.
"Woah!"
This is going to be a long night Clary thought.
ooooOoooo
So what did you think? Were the characters in character? Review and I'll send you Jace with some tea. ;]
