27 ❦ Video

[chlorophylliac]

[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.

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

And how have you gone about earning that particular title?

[chaotica]

Do you actually care, or would answering that question be a waste of both of our time?

I only have one real question for you. How long were you here, before vanishing?

[chlorophylliac]

So I'm to indulge your idle curiosities but you're ignoring mine?

[Ivy is, at least, somewhat genuinely interested in the newcomers. She's trying to get the lie of the land; it's been a long time and things have obviously changed.]

[chaotica]

My curiosity is anything but idle; I'm attempting to determine the utility of keeping my recently vanished inmate's file memorized, in case of return. My suspicion is that this would be beyond useless, and that he isn't coming back, but your return increases what I estimated the odds were in the first place.

[chlorophylliac]

[Well, he's on his way to explaining why people think he's an annoying bastard, so.]

Almost two years.

[chaotica]

Thank you. Then I suppose the Admiral is invested in you, which sounds thoroughly unnerving. My condolences on your near escape.

[chlorophylliac]

Finally, an appropriate response.

[chaotica]

I try to have a realistic outlook on inmate attitude.
