[ETA: officially on hiatus now, but will be willing to backdate next weekend if you'll bear with me. ^^;; Thanks.]

Sorry for any disturbance this may cause, but I'm investigating the recent happenings related to the Fazt*Kicz energy drink. Likely you've already

[Well, it never hurt to widen her network of people.]

The Darkness puts a damper on your time to spend with the ladies, I take it~? How terrible.

[voice]

[crosstobare]

Kind of you to take pity on me, at least.

I take it you don't often suffer similar afflictions.

[voice]

[tokissity]

I'm not terribly fond of the Darkness myself, dear. So I suppose I can relate. [Sort of.]

I guess that leaves us to seek entertainment from each other, hmm~?

[voice]

[crosstobare]

If that's agreeable to you, I can't find any objections.

What do you find entertaining?

[voice]

[tokissity]

I'm always willing to talk.

I have a great range of interests. Even plants entertain me, dear. I'm afraid I'd be terribly boring if I prattled on about it all night.

How about yourself? I don't even know your name yet, darling.

[voice]

[crosstobare]

Don't be ridiculous, prattle on whatever you like. I was a florist a few years ago, I'm not exactly a novice in the subject.

I'm Youji, if you'll return the favor. And rather easy to entertain, all things considered. Good company is really all it takes.

[voice]

[tokissity]

A florist, hmm? [She makes a small, amused sound.] Well, I can appreciate a man who enjoys flowers at least.

You can call me Poison Ivy. Hopefully I'm good enough company for your tastes.

[voice]

[crosstobare]

[...straaange name. But hey, whatever. Not correcting her on his level of enjoyment in his former job, either.]

You're doing beautifully so far. Tell me a bit more about yourself. Is gardening a hobby of yours? Or are plants just something you're generally interested in?

[voice]

[tokissity]

[She preferred to draw the information from the men, rather than the other way around, but she'd play along.]

A hobby? Oh no, I'd say it's my entire life, dear. I graduated with a degree in botany, even before I grew more connected with the green.

[She gave a short pause, silently smirking before revealing the next part...it was always the most fun part in this city.]

Now, I'm mostly plant.

[Well, that explains the name.]

[Having known some fairly mad scientists in his day, ones that could give themselves tentacles and promised to erase memories...]

By choice? Or was it forced on you?

[voice]

[tokissity]

[Hmm. Which was it really?]

Choice, I suppose. Not that I really understood what I was getting into back then.

But I can hardly complain now.

[voice]

[crosstobare]

There's a... relief, then.

Not even a little bit?

[voice]

[tokissity]

The only thing I regret is allowing myself to be swayed so easily. [And she was still pretty damned bitter about that today.]

But what about you? What did you do before coming here~?

[voice]

[crosstobare]

['Regret allowing myself to be swayed.' He remembers that, like the good little assassin-detective he is, but doesn't press.]

Several things. Most recently, I was an art teacher.

[and an assassin, but we don't talk about that to strangers, do we?]

[voice]

[tokissity]

Ah, did you enjoy the job?

[That's okay, that just meant that she didn't feel obliged to tell anyone about randomly feeding people to a plant shortly before coming here. :|]
