Ivy was truly feeling herself. Dr. Lecter was helping her and encouraging her, and she hadn't been caught doing anything. And she had been doing plenty of anything. It seemed like Klaus and Penelope were the only ones she hadn't messed around with in one way or another.

She stopped into the cafe and had a salad with apples and walnuts and a lovely vegan dressing as she read the book for Dr House's potions class. She had all the work to pass with honors in all her classes, but she was particularly interested in potions.

Now that they'd gotten to toxins.

"Oh my god, did you see I broke another beaker yesterday?" Penelope groaned as soon as she saw the textbook, flopping into the chair next to her.

[poison_isley]

"You're a hot mess, babygirl," Ivy laughed warmly, pulling some of her shit off the table and out of the way.

[techsavviest]

"Yeah I know," Penelope sighed. But then she smiled. She loved when Ivy called her that.

[poison_isley]

"So, um, are you busy tonight? There was an accident in my lab so I've got the night free," she smiled hopefully.

[techsavviest]

"I have homework but it can wait," said Penelope brightly. "I'd rather hang out with you."

[poison_isley]

"Sick, what should we do? Should I message Klaus? Or have a girl's night? We haven't in a long time," she smiled. Everything about Pen made her smile. She was pure positivity in a world that Ivy was too aware was generally shit.

[techsavviest]

"This morning he said he might go out tonight," Penelope said. And it might be nice to spend some time with Ivy.

[poison_isley]

"Alright, babygirl...go out or stay in? Your choice. I'll make it happen," she smiled.

[techsavviest]

"I didn't even wash my hair today," Penelope sighed. "Let's stay in. One of my friends from college sent me three boxes of girl scout cookies."

[poison_isley]

"Oh, hell yes," she smiled. "I'll arrange some actualy healthy food, and some wine. Want to watch something, too?" she asked as she closed her books and put them away so she could give Pen all her attention.

[techsavviest]

"Sure, good," said Penelope. "No horror movies this time though."

[poison_isley]

"Alright, no horror. We could watch that new one about the woman who programmed the trip to the moon," she offered. It was interesting, but much more Penelope's bag than hers.

[techsavviest]

Penelope's face lit up. "Oh, yes! Oh man that goes great with thin mints and wine."

Ivy was quickly becoming her favorite person... ever.

[poison_isley]

Ivy winced just a little.

Thin mints. And wine.

She wouldn't mention it to Lecter.

"Wanna do pedi's?" she asked.

[techsavviest]

Penelope saw the wince and laughed. "I'm kidding. Clearly tagalogs are the best girl scout cookies for wine. And sure, why not - you know how I suck at trying to do them myself."

[poison_isley]

"We'll have a good time," Ivy purred, her voice soft and dark as velvet. She'd have food. And she'd at least bring out the pedi crap, but if she had Pen all to herself, she had other plans.

[techsavviest]

"Yeah? We should go then. The potions can wait.." Penelope smirked. "Unless you'd rather spend the evening with Professor House."

[poison_isley]

"Given the choice between the two of you? Let's go."

She packed up and chatted on the way back to the room.

Inside, Ivy dropped her bag and immediately kissed Pen warmly.

"Been waiting for that."

[techsavviest]

Penelop kissed her back, but then pulled away and said, "Oh my god I was eating doritos earlier though." She put her hand in front of her mouth to smell her breath.

[poison_isley]

Ivy snorted.

"Well, I hadn't noticed until now," she replied dryly.

[techsavviest]

"Don't we have some peppermint schnapps?" Penelope laughed.

[poison_isley]

"Yeah, on Klaus's shelf, I think," she said as she grabbed the remote to call up the menu.

[techsavviest]

"How about an action movie," said Penelope. "Something with girls kicking ass."

[poison_isley]

"Ocean's 8 or Gunpowder Milkshake?" she asked. "Or we can watch SuckerPunch again..."

She clicked through the menu, most of which she'd already seen.

[techsavviest]

"Oh, there!" said Penelope, and grinned. "Charlie's Angels. Don't you just adore Lucy Liu?"

[poison_isley]

"Alright, reliving Garcia's middle school crushes in 3, 2, 1...," Ivy laughed, calling it up. She set it to play then went to her bed so she could slip into something comfier than her jeans.

[techsavviest]

Penelope smirked. "Please tell me you liked the cute blonde who was into computers."

[poison_isley]

"I like one cute blonde who's into computers," she smiled as she flopped down and got comfortable.

[techsavviest]

"Oh no, should I be jealous?" Penelope joked. And she wiggled out of her jeans, leaving her in her tshirt and bright purple socks.

[poison_isley]

Ivy waited for her to settle, then waved her hand to pour two glasses of wine and gather snacks. She wasn't goin to do it when a simple spell could have them comfortable and fed.

Ivy squirmed in close and slipped her arm around Pen.

"Ready to hit play?"

[techsavviest]

"Mmhmm," Penelope sighed happily. She leaned her head on Ivy. Then as the movie started, squealed, "Oh I love this scene! Isn't that Ice Cube? No. LL Cool J?"

[poison_isley]

"I don't know. He's old."

Ivy was never subtle in her judgments.

But then it was just a suit and she smiled.

"She's better."

[techsavviest]

"Right?" Penelope sighed. "God I love red hair...." She fingered one of Ivy's curls.

[poison_isley]

Ivy smiled shyly.

"I learned a trick..." she said, then in Pen's fingers her hair turned colors. Pink. Green. Purple. Each as vibrant as a flower petal.

"So, you know. Variety is an option."

[techsavviest]

Penelope gasped in delight. And then punched her arm. "Stop it Ivy you can't be so much more gorgeous than the rest of us!"

[poison_isley]

"I wish I had your smile," Ivy said flirtatiously. She traced the shape of Pen's bottom lip with her thumb. "And your eyes. I don't get how your eyes sparkle."
