6 - Like a bridge over troubled water

[ivysgarden]

[A Action - 508 Ricardo Street]

[Father's day. What a lovely day, isn't it? A day to show every men in your world how much you truly appreciate them, and having them in your life.

Guess who's decided to cook a complete, big and deliciously grease-filling American breakfast this morning, guys? And will you look at that- it doesn't even seem to be poisoned!

Maybe it's time to check if Ivy's got a fever.]


B Action - Flower shop]

[This seems to be a permanent option for her. 

Either way... if you're a man, and you're shopping at Annie's flower shop, you'll be sure to meet an overly-eager to please Pamela.]


[C Action - Jonathon's Tools]

[Father's day or not, Ivy still wants to get her new gardening tools. How is she supposed to fix the garden around her house otherwise.  But she's having a hard time convincing one of  the drones selling tools that she needs them, when he keeps on insisting a woman with tools like those could be dangerous!

She'd usually reply with a 'do you want me to show you how dangerous I can be?' but today... she can merely nod. Nod and huff.]

Excuse me sir, pardon my friend here. Her husband requested that she pick up the gardening tools. He had a long day at work and she merely wished to make things easier for him by picking them up herself. How will she tend to her lovely garden without them? [CAN YOU TELL HOW FAKE AND GROSS DOING THIS IS IVY. DO YOU?

If worst comes to worst, he'd just buy them himself. He's sure Ivy isn't going to kill him in his sleep...with gardening tools.]

[...Oh. Okay. They can roll with that.]

Thank you! At least somebody understands.

[notasidedick]

[Yeah yeah. Seriously. Don't try killing him with them ever. That's like the ultimate betrayal in bro...sis history. I don't know.]

No problem. Just do me a favor and only treat them as gardening tools. [Laughs. It's hard to tell if he was being serious or not.]

[poisonivyforyou.livejournal.com]

[She won't kill him using the gardening tools. Promise.

Using other things, however...]

I can't promise anything [She teases- maybe.] Why did you do it, though? [She raises an eyebrow] I doubt things have changed that much between us.

[notasidedick]

[Oh well. Totally cool with that. Nothing like still having to make sure people don't kill him.]

Nothing has really changed. But hey, to me right now, you're just another citizen stuck in this strange town with me. I shouldn't have a problem with a citizen.

I'm more curious why you didn't do anything. You never seemed like the type to let men tell you what to do.

[poisonivyforyou.livejournal.com]

[It's how Ivy shows she cares, really.]

I... did not want to make him feel bad. Men are pillars of our society after all. [What the fuck-] We all should be grateful for them.

How can I repay you for this little favor?

[notasidedick]

I...[Wow...he can't. What the fuck. This is boggling his mind obviously.]

You can. Don't ever say that to me again. That was just really weird coming out of your mouth. Seriously.

[poisonivyforyou.livejournal.com]

[She chuckles]

If you say so. Doesn't make it less true though. [She sighs, rubbing her forehead. Being so... against her nature it's kind of exhausting.] I really feel bad for not repaying the favor, though.

[notasidedick]

Uh...okay. Are you sick or something? [He's just going to blame it on this place. Seriously. This is totally weird.]

There really is no need. I mean it. [Please. You're kinda being weird.]

[poisonivyforyou.livejournal.com]

As you wish! [She smiles one last time then walks away] But the offer still stands. And thank you, again!

[notasidedick]

[He just smiles and waves.] Have a good day...[That was the weirdest fucking thing ever. He really hopes that was this place's fault and not Ivy having a complete personality change.]
