[itp: STAKEOUT]

[getintomyplants]

[just before dusk, plants started moving closer around the barn known as La Grange. by the time it's dark, they've all settled themselves down into inconspicuous clumps. just kind of hanging out. you know, like you do.

someone who was particularly wary might notice that everything seems a little quieter than normal. but otherwise, just your average plant-filled night in camp.]

[SILENCE]

[getintomyplants]

[ALL IT WOULD TAKE IS ONE WHIMPER AND THIS WOULD STOP temporarily]

No answer?

[apainintheneck]

[i'm sorry, vampires have stubbornness issues]

I never said—never said I was trustworthy.

[getintomyplants]

People usually don't.

[so do supervillains, at least the ones who don't get bored and distracted by shiny objects]

[apainintheneck]

[silent again :T maybe if i don't talk i won't give away how much your stupid vines are hurting me]

[getintomyplants]

[you know what would help? Ivy coming up close enough to run her finger over Sophie-Anne's wrist, just where the vines are digging in. that'd definitely help.]

[apainintheneck]

[at that, she lets out a small gasp of pain, her eyes tearing up a bit. did you know vampires cry blood??]

[getintomyplants]

[...no. no indeed she did not.

and the vines are loosening themselves a little while Ivy leans in, surprised]

[apainintheneck]

[i can't even wipe it away 8(]

Fuck you.

[getintomyplants]

[but the supervillain can~]

Language.

[apainintheneck]

You've made your point. Let me go.

[getintomyplants]

What will you do if I do?

[apainintheneck]

I'll leave you alone.

[getintomyplants]

[and the vines uncoil, pulling away enough that Sophie-Anne could leave if she liked - but staying close enough to be clear that there'd better not be any tricks 8|]

That's for the best.

[apainintheneck]

[shaking out her wrists and watching as the cuts on them heal up]

[getintomyplants]

[....that....that is interesting. that is very interesting indeed. you may notice an absolutely fascinated supervillain staring at that.]

[apainintheneck]

[it takes very little time :3]

[getintomyplants]

Useful.

[apainintheneck]

Yes.

[getintomyplants]

[okay this might be a mistake but.

reaching for Sophie-Anne's arm, because she wants a closer look 8|]

[apainintheneck]

[pulling her arm out of Ivy's reach, superhumanly fast, and letting out an almost cat-like hiss]

[getintomyplants]

[well that's got vines springing up around Ivy, ready to defend her]

Go, then.

[apainintheneck]

[walking back into the barn, at normal speed]

[getintomyplants]

[that's okay. Ivy can wait.]

fast forward

[apainintheneck]

[SO AFTER A FEW DAYS OF BEING FUCKED WITH, sophie-anne decides the bleeds are worth it and just stays up, waiting inside the barn]
