[ic] itp: suddenly civilians???

[getintomyplants]

[in a secret little clearing deep in the forest, a redheaded woman is fidgeting in clothes that are clearly too big for her - jeans with the cuffs rolled up, and a shirt with one too many buttons unfastened (although if you know who she is, that might not be surprising).

she's waiting for someone.]

SOME TIME BEFORE...

[getintomyplants]

[outside Jean's room, a little supervillain's knocking on the door.]

Re: SOME TIME BEFORE...

[finalities]

[opens door!]

What's the occasion?

[getintomyplants]

I...need your - your help.

Don't laugh.

[finalities]

Okay, now I'm worried. Come inside.

[getintomyplants]

[slinking inside, okay]

I'm not in trouble. Don't worry.

[finalities]

And that brings us back to my first question.

[closes the door]

[getintomyplants]

I have to spend a day out of costume.

I don't...actually have any clothes here.

[have you ever seen the supervillain so uncomfortable? PROBABLY NOT]

[finalities]

Did someone dare you?

[getintomyplants]

Yes.

[finalities]

So you want to borrow some clothes from me?

[getintomyplants]

Can I?

[finalities]

Why not. I'm not sure if they'll fit though.

[getintomyplants]

I don't think anyone's would fit.

...thanks, Jean.

[you did remember to tell the thorns to let me in, right?]

[getintomyplants]

[they've been told who's allowed in. ...there is only one person allowed in.]

[windowtothe]

[how sweet]

Thanks, kids.

[getintomyplants]

[either she's imagining it, or those thorns are doing a little pleased dance as they part. WE LIEK ATTENTION]

[windowtothe]

[reaches out and touches 'em a little as she passes. sometimes it's nice having practically impenetrable skin :)]

[getintomyplants]

[which means when she makes it into the clearing, Ivy will be smiling]

I was starting to think you wouldn't come.

[windowtothe]

Maybe I was just trying to be fashionably late. Did you ever think of that?

[getintomyplants]

It didn't seem like something you'd do.

You look good.

[windowtothe]

Thanks. You look... like you're wearing someone else's clothes. Where did you get those?

[getintomyplants]

I didn't steal them, if that's what you're wondering. I borrowed them.

[windowtothe]

Make sure you're appropriately appreciative then. It's not a bad look on you.

[getintomyplants]

Your flattery is just overwhelming.
