The Archive - Need to Know
Who Ivy is - or rather what the Archive is - has been briefly explained here by Harry Dresden. The Archive contains, within her mind, the entire written history of mankind. She immediately absorbs the knowledge and understanding of anything that is written down. As the Archive comes from the Dresden Files universe, most of the media from that world is already instilled in her - Star Wars, DC and Marvel comics, Dean Koontz novels, there's a LOT that gets referenced (thanks to Dresden being a pop-cultured badass), which gives her a VERY wide range of information.

Upon arriving in this new world, she began to absorb information again - on the things that would have been missing from her reality. There are (as discussed with the mods) random pockets/fluctuations of energy/magic/power that create 'blank' spots in Ivy's wealth of knowledge.

This is an extremely useful tool for me, as it means I don't have an omniscient character! But Ivy is still pretty damn close to it. If there are things about your toons that stand out, or that Ivy would absolutely know, please comment and let me know what I should be aware of! There's no way I can research everyone's character on my own!

In the same vein, if there is something about your character that you do NOT want Ivy to know, comment here or contact me at dyaniera [at] gmail [dot] com. I am happy to work this out with you and would rather prevent any issues right off the bat!

Last matter - there were plenty of people (rescuers and rescuees) that were unhappy about ricocheting bullets killing guards. Ivy is perfectly willing to speak with anyone who wants to confront a 15 year old girl about killing people. Let me know if you'd like a scene with her!

Ivy would definitely know about Zee's mind wiping Dr. Light and taking away ten minutes of Batman's memory.

Molly has no issues with Ivy killing people. As long as she keeps her mouth shut about the things Molly knows that Harry doesn't for being two years behind her.

Hannibal is more curious than anything and wants to know if her abilities mean she's read every porn there is out there.

Harry says hi.

	to Molly: Harry doesn't know half the things I know about him, and I still have no compulsion to tell him. to Hannibal: -rolls eyes a bit- I even know the notes between writer and editor about the use of 'pulsing' over 'quivering', and the notes actors jotted on their scripts to help them stay 'in character'. to Harry: Hi. Where's your kitty? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hannibal: .... That is SO cool! Yet wrong since you're fifteen! Harry: Hopefully getting picked up by Butters. We wouldn't want Mister here anyway. He'd take over. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	to Hannibal: I've known all of that since I was born. Since I drew my first breath, I've known it and understood it all. Is it even more 'wrong' now? to Harry: I suppose he would. He's a nice kitty, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hannibal: blinkblink Geezus! I'd never want to be your boyfriend. Harry: Yeah, Mister's pretty cool. Maybe we can find you your own kitty while we're here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	to Hannibal: And this is why I've never been kissed. ~~That, and something about Kincaid...~~ to Harry: Really? Kincaid wouldn't let me have one. He said he was allergic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry: shoves Hannibal into the Nevernever Kincaid is a big stupid ~~dickhead~~ meanie. We'll get you a kitty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's possible Bruce would want to talk to her about the killing people lol. John would just like to talk to her because well gosh that's neat what she does and he's a greedy little mystic. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	lol I am totally up for a conversation with either. She'll be in die Festung with the others post-rescue, so they can meet up there, if you like (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	John can meet up with her when he gets out of the library and wandering around to other places. Right now he's looking up the Prophecy or hoping to anyway. Bruce is around though. She can know his movie self and his comic self of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fred probably wouldn't care if Ivy knows about her, but there isn't much written about her. Illyria sure, but not Fred. Then again, Fred doesn't know about Illyria; Ivy may know what bits and pieces about Fred are in the comics through Illyria. Mainly that Fred was Texan, Wes loved her, and maybe even Spike did. Think there's very little more. You already know for Dean. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Also keep in mind that all TV shows, movies, etc are written down as scripts before they ever get made. Given that, she'd know all the shows, every TV Guide synopsis, every fanfic ever written. (I suddenly pity poor Ivy all the terrible writing she'd have to sort through, while envying all the fantastic writing she'd know.) (Reply to this) (Parent)
