Poison Ivy has posed:
Pamela Isley hmmmms happily, at the crack of dawn, wandering through her garden. Making sure everything is watered - everything is happy. She is wearing a long green nightgown, but sighs softly. Her heart just isn't in doing much today. The fall does dampen her spirits as it always does. She moves towards the gate, seeing nobody there - few go to visit Ivy, even though she's reformed - the city block she's taken over and fortified gets few visitors. She goes into her cottage to get dressed, then re-emerges, hoping the sunlight would give her some inspiration to do something.

Catwoman has posed:
Catwoman has been awake all night just.. doing her thing. She is one of those few who tend to visit Ivy regardless of whether she is up to shenanigans or simple garden tending. Catwoman's whip wraps around a street lamp pole near Ivy's garden and she swings under and then atop it, a bottle of champagne in her other hand. She then jumps into Ivy's garden and puts her whip away with a snap, "Couldn't believe it until I saw it. Not that I'm judging you, I'll always be a thief, it's who I am, but I'd never label you dear Ivy. You can't be shoved into a box and labelled. I've brought something to celebrate the new you." She holds up the bottle.

Poison Ivy has posed:
Pamela Isley blinks as she stares at you. There's a cactus quivering on a small hill - she snaps her fingers and it calms. "Selene." She blinks. "You should be careful coming in here unannounced. I do have defenses here. I am a bit paranoid still. But I'm trying to be good. The old ways were not working." She then raises an eyebrow. "Champagne? How kind. I haven't had any bubbly in quite some time."

Catwoman has posed:
Catwoman smiles, "Of course but you know me.. I love to surprise." She hands Ivy the bottle, "Please do the honors. I promise I won't get drunk.."

Poison Ivy has posed:
Pamela Isley smiles faintly. "Generally champagne is lacking in alcohol content. I will be right back." She slips into her cottage, and emerges with two goblets, and, glancing at the cactus, pops the bottle - as the cork flies into the air, a long cactus spine spears it in midair and it falls. "Sorry - I had to." She smiles as she pours us both a glass and takes a sip. "Ah."

Catwoman has posed:
Catwoman smiles, "Notice the proof content dear? It's enough to make you just a.. bit dizzy. Normally this brand is reserved for weddings but I figured that you deserved the best tonight." She takes her glass and sips, "Batman won't be bothering you now I guess. Must be nice.. but honestly there's no legit way to do what I do. And honestly I enjoy my run-ins with him."

Poison Ivy has posed:
Pamela Isley glances. "Well, I'm kinda immune to all poisons, including alcohol." She sighs. "I'm glad you came by. I always feel... listless in the fall. Like I just want to just... sit and look at a wall. Batman did come by. He was investigating a questionable purchase I made that I needed for my research - but everything is fine."

Catwoman has posed:
Catwoman nods in understanding, "Right.. yeah it's funny how I can't forget that about you, but I forget that alcohol is technically a weak poison. Still the champagne tastes like heaven.." She takes another drink, "Did he come by? He'll be doing more of that.. indefinitely. Bats has a paranoid bent. It doesn't matter that you've gone honest honey, he'll always see you as a villain. Such a shame.."

Poison Ivy has posed:
Pamela Isley shrugs. "Well, when a former terrorist mail-orders uranium, an investigation is in order. I'm trying to breed a plant that can leech radiation out of the soil... but needed some radiation to test." She shrugs. "Perhaps it was a mistake. But once I showed him the lab, he undrestood. It's kinda working... but... the plants aren't doing well."

Catwoman has posed:
Catwoman nods again, "Well it sounds like you are fulfilling your.. purpose in life. I never doubted that you were before, it's just that now you've realized that you are not a bad person. I'm a bad person Ivy and I always will be but you never were. Your cause was never about selfish gain. I'm a lost cause but that doesn't mean that you should be, so I say keep up the good work." She raises her glass.

Poison Ivy has posed:
Pamela Isley nods slowly. "I have my motivations for doing what I do." She sighs softly. "What is your instictive reaction when you hear a child in pain? You want to try to defend them, to save them." She sighs. "I can hear plants. When a plant suffers.... I react similarly. I am trying to find a new way - instead of scaring people... showing them just what I can make plants do." She smiles. "Not sure how well it's going, but it feels more fulfilling."

Catwoman has posed:
Catwoman smiles, "Yes and as long as you fight for all plants everywhere I am certain that you will feel fulfilled. For me it's not that simple.. I have no cause... I have a set of skills that I am good at." She thinks for a moment, "You might say that cats are to me what plants are to you. I help them in my own way and that way is larceny. I am sure that you can understand that.."

Poison Ivy has posed:
Pamela Isley smiles softly. "Tell me. Is there any way I can help you with your... crusade? Especially in a way that would help you not hurt anyone?" she asks softly, as she then ponders. "I need to order a picnic bench or something." She sighs softly. "Never thought I'd have this much company over. You are my friend, Selene. I just don't want you hurting anyone."

Catwoman has posed:
Catwoman laughs, "Oh Ivy I don't want to hurt anyone.. in fact I go out of my way not to harm a hair on anyone's head. But I wouldn't turn down your help if you offered it. But as you know I tend to work alone most of the time. And a picnic bench might suit this garden well. I don't see Batman sitting often though.."

Poison Ivy has posed:
Pamela Isley nods slowly. "I was not suggesting going with you. I'm wondering - if there was anything that could help you in your escapades. Also - also wondering - what do you do with the stuff you pilfer? Is there a reason you are doing it - or just for the thrill?"

Catwoman has posed:
Catwoman replies, "Most of it I give away to causes that support cats, specifically big cats. The rest I live off of. There's a reason I'm not living rich Ivy, most of what I take isn't kept." She smiles.

Poison Ivy has posed:
Pamela Isley nods. "Ah - right. I never asked before. So like Robin Hood." She hmmmms softly. "You know what I'm capable of with plants and poisons. If there's anyting I can brew you, I can make it. Perhaps I can even show you some hideouts to get the heat off of you."

Catwoman has posed:
Catwoman smiles, "You could say that yes.. Robin Hood for cats.. and I will keep that in mind. You just keep doing what you do, Batman can't fault you for it. He gets a bit too zealous at times but I think he does a good job keeping himself in check. His.. sidekicks on the other hand? They could use some lessons in restraint."

Poison Ivy has posed:
Pamela Isley smiles faintly. "Well - I don't think any of the Robins woulde come by. They know better." She shrugs. "So... if you think of something I can provide that'd help you, let me know." She hmmmms softly as she moves to lean against the cactus (the spikes obligingly retract just in time).
