27 ❦ Video
[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.

Re: [Spam]
The typical reaction when predators realise they've become prey.
[She touches a nearby budded leaf, watching it unfurl slowly.]
My abilities have been stripped again. Not that I'm surprised.
Re: [Spam]
I'm sorry. [She wants to say she hopes it's temporary, but she doubts Ivy will much care for having a warden again.]
...I helped in the greenhouse for a long time. Because of you.
Re: [Spam]
[Ivy smiles. She won't go so far as to say thank you, but the gratitude is there in her face. The greenhouse felt like it was hers; in many ways it still does. It settles her a little, to know that someone she trusts has been there in her place.]
I hear Zane is running it. The first time we met I had to threaten him off killing a plant.
[And now this, and she wonders how much of that could be attributed to her.]
Re: [Spam]
Now he threatens anyone who would pick flowers there. I wonder who he learned from.
Re: [Spam]
[Ivy's brows lift and her lips quirk with surprised amusement.]
Obviously they've been in safe hands.
[The overtone of dryness just barely betrays her relief.]
Re: [Spam]
[Her mouth quirks to the side, a struggle to hide her amusement.]
Besides the experiment with weeds, at least.
[Spam]
[But then she's actually curious.]
What kind of experiment?
Re: [Spam]
He didn't want to pull them. It may have gotten out of hand.
[Spam]
He also presumably killed the plants he then arbitrarily decided weren't worthy of life, but. Human sensibilities. If you're going to impose an artificial sense of order on your environment you do then have a responsibility to keep it orderly.]
And it's back in hand now? I'll have to go and see it for myself.
[Spam]
[She hesitates for a moment, but so much of her life has been made of hesitations. That spurs her forward, to wrap Ivy in a hug if she'll allow it.]
I'm sorry you're here, but I'm glad, too. I've missed you.
Re: [Spam]
She can't return the sentiment. Miss her? She forgot her. She forgot everything. And the memories that are finding the empty spaces in her mind that she never knew were there - there's more bad than good.
She doesn't say anything at all. She just gives Morgana's arm a brief clasp and then steps back.]
[Spam]
And it's enough, at least for now, at least for a start. Morgana lets it pass, letting her arms drop again.]
I'm just across the hall.
[She moves for the door.]
