[ Young, but also kind of cute in a weird little weird way? Not that you'd get Ivy to admit that, but-- ]

they're a band, seth. not that i'm big on music, but i know enough to know even their tastes don't deserve to grace any store, let alone the produce section.
watch a youtube video of them some time. then you'll know why i'm so resentful towards humanity.

[ This is so over-dramatic of her... ]

[hornedkid]

[ There's a few minutes pause, as Seth clearly goes off to watch a video right now. Maybe he's not willing to go on a proper rampage with her yet but he still wants that sweet, sweet approval. ]

what's a zigga-zigg-ah

And why does it sound delicious? Spice Girls: Zigga-Zigg-Ah, now in a convenient squeezy bottle!

[poisonflytrap]

[ One of these days she'll set him on the right path to help her violently murder musicians named after spices... Okay, maybe not, but who knows what the future holds. ]

seth.
seth, sweetie, please.
i'm begging you.

i'm getting a stroke just reading those words in a text.

[hornedkid]

[ That or he’ll rub his goodness off on her (and maybe rub a few more things hiyoooo). ]

so i don't know music cut me some slack! i just left the tower!

[ He has surely mentioned he was raised in an isolated tower somewhere so he didn't get witch trialed. ]

So what music DO you like?

[poisonflytrap]

[ He did that a little already… on both accounts ba dum tss. ]

all i’m saying is that you should be listening to music more suited for a plant.

[ Oh, she remembers him mentioning that before. Granted it slipped her mind briefly, just not on purpose. ]

i listen to classical music.

[hornedkid]

caaaaaaaan

we listen to some together

[ Look at him, trying to forge emotional connections. ]

[poisonflytrap]

[ Damn her and her soft spot for the youngins'. ]

right now?

[ Yes, Ivy. That's what he meant. ]

sure. i'm in my garden.
mind my babies.

[hornedkid]

[ He was quite happy to hold on, but if she's offering right now he's not messing around.

With her plant powers, she'll probably feel it before it happens. A clipping from one of his flowers glows with his signature energy, that swirl of blue and red, then 'ZWOOOWHAM!' He pops right out, as a hazy energy shape coalesces into him. It's your boi, Seth!

He comes out in mid-air and has to do a series of increasingly impressive acrobatics to avoid smashing into the babies. If Ivy doesn't help out somehow, he'll end up safely in a large pot that swirls around on its rim for a bit before the momentum goes. ]

[poisonflytrap]

[ And before she lets one of her large pots fall to the ground in a shatter, Ivy is already commanding the vines of her plants to grab a hold of the brim and steady it.

She sits under a tree wearing nothing but her typical leaf dress, but soon stands up and makes her way over to Seth -- her little boy toy criminal protegee whom she's going to mentor to the top.

Ivy's arms are crossed as she looks down at him with some amusement, quirking a brow slightly. ]

Mind the potting plant too, Seth. It's my favorite one and I'd hate for it to break. [ She stole it from a Home Depot okay! ] Stand up for me. Let me get a look at you.

[hornedkid]

[ Gosh Seth loves her leaf dress. So nymph-chic. He can't pull it off himself but he admires her in it every time.

He rolls backwards out of the pot, then flips up onto his feet. He's an agile guy, and leaves his shoes behind on purpose. His bare feet love the feel of a garden, and the feelings mutual. The little buzz from his mystical aura is ever-present. ]

Hey. Sorry- still getting used to that trick. [ He gives her a little spin, arms out at her request. He's got his usual attire on, loose shorts, sleeveless top, eternal cheek bandage. And a few others scattered over him, some scratches and bruises. The boy can't go outside without trouble. ] …can I get a look at you too?

i am nice to people who warrant it, contrary to whatever the popular belief is.

ignorant. i can't argue against children, but plants are far more intelligent than any human alive or dead; you'd know that if you could hear them talk.

[ainissesthai]

Of course you are. Is there anyone besides Harley who warrants it in your view?

You forget I hear you talk more than enough to make up for it. You're marginally more intelligent than the average weed, so they can't be smart. While children can learn and grow out of their stupidity.

[poisonflytrap]

i've made... an exception or two, yes.

you're talking about things you know nothing of, eddie. but that's not really the point at hand, lets just agree to disagree. i'm making a difference and that's all that matters.

[ainissesthai]

If you need to believe anything you do is making a difference, by all means, I'll let you keep your delusions.

@sombrademonios

[poisonflytrap]

you might be right.
but even if you disregard that aspect, you and me both know that the general public is stupid and will believe anything.

[sombrademonios]

true. human nature to trust people. but also human nature to exploit that.

why are we like this.
