[Ivy appears in the video feed surrounded by plants. It’s all a little more sparse than it looks like it could be; this is because the Admiral kindly confiscated anything that could be considered dangerous. Thanks for that, guy. She looks like she’s been in a fight recently but her deep green skin doesn’t really show much bruising.]

...This again.

[She touches her fingers lightly to the bridge of her nose. The frustration is washed out of her voice; she just sounds tired. She’s struggling to reconcile her time on the Barge with two days spent at home that as good as eliminated those memories; it’s wearisome.]

I left in August, it appears I’ve returned in February, so the question now is whether my absence can be measured in months or years. I’m dying to know.

[You wouldn’t be able to tell.]

For those of you who recognize me, I’m pleased to say that my memory is intact. [Largely. Not as much as she’d like.] For those who don’t, my name is Poison Ivy. I have previously been an Inmate here for almost two years, so rolling out the welcome wagon isn’t necessary. I would like to know whether the greenhouse has finally fallen into Warden management, and if so, whose.

[Friends Filter]

['Friends' is too strong a word in most cases but those remaining on this filter are: Morgana, Zane, Iris, Arthas and Barbara.]

If you can see this message I would appreciate a response. Thank you.

[It's fascinating. In another world - another universe, perhaps - T'Pol would want to know the cause of this. She is a distinct, unique species - and in this universe, that is enough to hold her attention captive.

There's a reason she often wears her hair behind her ears - it's the same reason she didn't pursue species reassignment surgery before joining Starfleet. She has no love of anything Human.

Ivy may be closely related, but she isn't quite one of them. T'Pol considers, then inclines her head.]

No. My people were not free.

Colonised by humans?

[Because you seem to not like them a lot, and that's kinda how they do.]

[Just kinda.]

Conquered. It's called First Conquest; we were left with few options to avoid outright slavery and worse.

[Hm.]

Are you an Inmate?

[If she was at all inclined to grind her teeth, she'd do it now. Since she's not, she struggles to keep the annoyance out of her voice.]

Yes.

Because you resisted at all or because you did it the wrong way?

[The joke, she thinks, is that she didn't resist. She took the only option that would give her the semblance of control over her own future. She joined the conquerors.

T'Pol doesn't find it funny, but what does she know about jokes?]

The Admiral hasn't been forthcoming on that matter.

He never is.

Who's your Warden?

Captain Steve Rogers.

Not familiar with the name. Of any use to you?

[She'd say he's a puppy, but her realm of experience is limited to a rottweiler trained to attack. She certainly never saw Porthos as a puppy, but she'd bet he'd be equally as vicious.]

He's Human.

[The real truth is that she knows she old come to trust him, which makes her all the more paranoid that he's playing a very long game with her.

The less proof she has of that, the more unsettled she is.]

[Ivy has a lot of sympathy for this being the only necessary judgement to pass on a person, and makes no further comment.]

How long have you been here?

Three months.

[And she is not above following the example of someone more experienced.]

I understand that life on board has become more straightforward since I was here.

Or at least that there's less violence to punctuate the tedium.

There are occasional altercations. What level of violence were you familiar with?

[There's a part of her that would welcome it. At least it would be familiar.]

Mass killing sprees. Torture.

[Some of which she carried out herself but that was for 100% legitimate reasons ok.]

[Well as long as it was legitimate.]

I have not encountered that. It's likely those inmates vanished or graduated.

[Or just haven't found their reason yet.]

Or their replacements haven't yet encountered victims who meet their preferences.

[She just inclines her head to acknowledge that likelihood.]

There is a great deal less than I would have expected.

[But then, her experience with prisons is that they're only a stepping stone to execution. She's still waiting for the other shoe to drop. Surprise! It's not really redemption the Admiral's after.]

Apparently it really does depend on who's here. There's only fire when there's enough friction.

Do you intend to cause friction?

If you want chaos for the sake of chaos, speak to Loki. I've stopped seeing the point.

[........this is. not strictly a no.]

Does chaos for the sake of chaos strike you as particularly logical?

[T'Pol is not remotely put off by that. Run wild Ivy, she thinks it would be a good chance to see the true nature of their captors.]

No.

[She cants her head, as if to say that's that. Never mind that she's felt less and less logical these days.]

I'll be alert for smoke. [As if she isn't always.]
