Who: Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy
What: Harley and Ivy Arrive!
Where: Just Outside the Resort by the shore.
When: Morning; Day Nine
Rating: PG; Subject to Change
Status: In Progress

No matter what time of day... No matter what kind of weather we are having... The Arkham Asylum always and always knew how to compile a grotesque dark environment.. Even if the sun is a shining, Arkham still felt like a muggy rainy depressing day. Even the colors were much more dull than it seemed. Why was it like that? If they wish to cure some of these crazies, they certainly should try to perk up the place some! For Harley Quinn and Pamela Isley, it was just another day in their dreary cell. The crazy things a girl does to save the one she loved. Harley was sitting in her usual spot anxiously curled up in a corner on the bed with an old notepad and crayons.. She had Crayons because let's face it.. She wasn't trusted with a pen or pencil.. The diamond gal felt naked without her white cake make-up concealing her soft cream peach skin.. they even convesgated her black mask that used to conceal her natural baby blue eyes and her jester costume which she worked ever so hard on. She looked down upon her boring attire.. a white loose teeshirt and white drawstring pants; how fun. Those lengthy exposed blonde lockes were gathered into two loose and messy pigtails.. Her sapphire blue eyes returned her attention on what she was drawing.. which of course was a cartoon version of her and the legendary maniacle criminal mastermind, The Joker.. and with a few hearts here and there.. She even dared to write 'Mr. and Mrs. Joker..' over and over and over...

A desperate heart aching sigh spilled out of her lips.. She has certainly come a long way since being Dr. Harleen Quinzel.. Despite the fact that she is stuck in the most miserable place on the face of the earth, Harley still doesn't regret trading in her sanity to be with the meniacle clown.. Ironically, she has never felt more free.. It was hell before she met the Joker.. It would explain a lot why she isn't as depressed as the other inmates. Harley looked up to see what her cell-mate and best friend was up to.. A mischievous smirk curved her lips; always keeping a smile despite the unpleasant environment.. Harley suddenly leaped up from her corner and dashed to the plant-lover's side of her cell.. sort of catching her by surprise when she swung an arm around her neck from behind!

"Cheer up, Pammie! Soon my Puddin' will free us from this misery!" She said with full confidence.. and in that rich brooklyn accent.. Harley however has told Pamela that same old song and dance thousands of times.. and each time her clown prince still has never came.

Suddenly Harley started to feel the floor beneath her shake and jumble..she swayed back and forth overreacting to the slight eruption.. At first she was hoping for it be some sort of explosion..! But the shake lasted too long which caused her to panic!

"Earth-QUAKE!" She called out rushing underneath her bed to take cover. But once she darted underneath her bed.. everything, the bed the barred doors, the walls, the building; absolutely every little thing that surrounded the two girls vanished! Just.. like.. that! Harley had to rub her eyes a few times to make sure she wasn't having another hallucination..

"Ohh-- I knew I shouldn't have doubled dosed on our meds!" She confessed.. When she came to realize that she and her partner was at a completely different spot.. Harley stood back up to take in their new surroundings.. certainly was windy. There was an ocean it looked like.. and palm trees.. and what she would assume to be a Hotel or Resort but it was definitely something that was the complete opposite from the asylum.. She quickly ran to her green friend for safety.. embracing her tight.. and holding her close to fulfill her need to be secure. Then she looked at her.. with an arrogant big wide grin..

"HA! What did I tell ya, Red?! Ya didn't think I could do it, but look at where we are now!!" Harley has told Ivy several times during their long hours in the asylum.. that maybe if she concentrated hard enough she could teleport them out. So Harley is here to believe that she was responsible for this. Unfortunately.. the weather was turning more darker, knowing well a storm is rolling in..

"YOU, owe me Fifty Bucks. Now where did I bring us??" She said an index finger tapping her chin in thought..completely oblivious to where she is.. The confused blonde still clinging onto the vine lady.. They certainly were in for a shock or two. Harley then came to notice a stone-like figure from a decent-sized distance motioning a hand signal to tell the girls to follow.. Harley never ever seen such a thing before in her life. And Gotham was filled with their share of weirdos.

"What the hell is that!?"

While Ivy never enjoyed her time in Arkham, she had to admit it did give her time for quiet reflection and her studies. Well, when she wasn't stuck in a cell with Harley. Thankfully the clown was so wrapped up in her doodling that Ivy managed to get a few pages read of her latest edition of the journal of experimental botany. Peace and quiet didn't last long when you shared a cell with Harley Quinn though. The next thing Ivy knew Harley had jumped over to her side and had an affection arm slung over Ivy's shoulders. A loose blue prison shirt kept their skin from making contact but with Harley, it wouldn't have mattered anyway since Ivy had long since given the blond a serum to make her immune to poisons. A little gift between friends.

Although sometimes their friendship proved to be quite trying. Especially when ever Harley mentioned that no-good boyfriend of hers, the Joker. When Harley once more insisted the green haired clown was going to break them out, Ivy rolled her eyes. "You'll forgive me if I don't hold my breath waiting for that to happen", she replied in a sarcastic tone, turning another page of her journal. "Seriously, when will you give--" Ivy had started to say, about to lecture Harley once more on her relationship when the cell started shaking.

Ivy's startling green eyes widened as she pulled her legs up against her body, still sitting on her on bed. "What's happening?" Harley screamed earth quake and Ivy soon darted over to her small table, grabbing her prized rose plant and holding the potted plant close to her chest. The so-called earthquake didn't last long when their cell in Arkham started disappearing. Gone where the cold walls of Arkham which were replaced by gusting winds and harsh rain. Ivy could see windblown palm trees on one side while an angry ocean churned on the other side.

"Where are we?" she whispered but that was lost when Harley suddenly grabbed her again, shouting about how Ivy didn't think she could do it. "Do what?" Ivy blurted before remembering those inane times when Harley had insisted she could teleport them. "Are you--" Ivy broke off, looking around at the tropical landscape. "No way. This isn't possible". She rolled her eyes once more at the fifty bucks comment but froze when she saw something moving.Immediately her mind thought of this as a threat and mentally encouraged her rose to leave it's pot and wrap around her wrist before the red head let the pot drop to the ground. Ivy didn't want anything to hinder her hands.

"I don't know Harley. I just got here, remember?" Ivy said in a tight tone, stepping forward and dragging along the blond who was holding her till she was closer to the stone man. "Who are you and where are we?" she demanded in a strong, no-nonsense voice.

Harley watched this figure closely.. also waiting for an answer from Pamela's question.. but the stone figure said nothing.. All it did was point towards the building. Harley raised a thin brow.. with an offended expression.

"Ya got a speech impediment or sumthin'; It's kinda rude when ya ignore a question! Or is this some kinda mime thing?!" She perked back up when she compared the thing to a mime. "Well I guess we do what he says!" She said loud enough through the wind.. feeling her loose blonde strands swirling and wirling about infront of her face. So the diamond gal and the botanist both followed this stone figure into the nearest building. Harley took a minute to try and mend her hair.. as if it wasn't already a mess before. They found themselves in what looked like a lobby or throne room of some sort. Harley watched her new surroundings closely.. still trying to figure out where they were.

"I got nuthin. Bahamas on a Bad day.. maybe?" The Stone golem still walked.. and lead them towards a tablet with an inscription engraved.. The stone figure pointed right at it.. Harley taking a minute or two to connect the dots.. "I think it want's us to read it, Red.." Harley folded her arms over her chest.. having no interest in wanting to read the inscription.. Harley can take hours reading a sentence outloud. She's just not into reading. "Can somebody around here at least TELL us what's goin on?! I'll letcha read it, Pammie.." Harley walked over to the stone figure.. sort of leaning on him.

"So what's a girl gotta do to get some chow 'round here?" The creature still said no word.. but instead just pointed.. Harley raised a brow and started to walk towards that way.. but another Golem stepped infront of her and stopped her from her tracks so she can wait and learn about where she was. "Now hold on a minute, Mista-Rock-Fa-Brains! Who do ya think you are!?"

Ivy frowned as the...thing...just pointed instead of answering them. The redhead felt that something was off with the stone man in front of her. It wasn't just his appearance for Ivy had seen more than enough freaks in Gotham but something about his eyes. Something that screamed not human to her. When Harley suggested doing what it said, Ivy's eyes narrowed for a moment but she nodded. "Might as well. No point in staying outside". With that Ivy went along with Harley and the stone monster up to the main building until they were finally sheltered from the storm. She checked the rose plant gathered at her wrist and was relieved to see her plant was doing well so far. Once she was certain her little friend was okay, Ivy looked around the lobby. "Fancy", she murmured as she followed the stone man to the tablet. Before he pointed at it, Ivy had spied the words and started to read them carefully.

Welcome to Mirage. This is your new home. Your every need will be fulfilled....You will not be able to leave....You will not kill. Ever.If you have questions, ask my assistants.Love, The Planet. Ivy quickly absorbed all this when Harley mentioned the thing wanted them to read. "Nooo...really Harley?" The sarcastic tone didn't last lone when Harley started to move away. "Hold up, you might want to hear this", Red called out to her as the stone man stepped in her way.

"Apparently this is another planet. This tablet says everything is provided for us but we can't leave and we can't kill anyone", the red head told Harley, a slightly amused expression on her face. As if she didn't quite believe all this or that any planet was trying to tell her what to do. Not kill anyone? How could a planet stop Poison Ivy when she had set her sights on someone? Still, there wasn't anyone the poisoned skinned woman really wanted to off right now so perhaps it wouldn't be a problem. Unless, of course Batman were to show up, Ivy mused.

"It doesn't explain why we're here or how it brought us here but-" Ivy shrugged. "Beats Arkham any day as far as I'm concerned". It was then Ivy noticed the check in desk and more importantly two blinking lights above two keys hanging behind the desk. "What's this?" she murmured, strolling over to the desk. Ivy, flicked her wet, red hair over her shoulder as she glanced back at the stone man. "Do these keys belong to us?"

He looked at her before giving a silent nod. "Hmm, our new cells perhaps?" Ivy mused as she grabbed one for herself.

"No way, I would nevah even think to teleport us to another Planet" Harley said with a burst of laughter.. very amused by it. But her laughter gotten lighter when she realized it was a possibility..

"Huh..--Whoa wait, ya mean we can't go on a killing spree?? Whuts a nutjob like me gonna do round here then huh? Hey well if Bats, Birdbrain, and the Bratgirl aren't here, then I'm good."

Harley then listened to Ivy speak somehow.. "Hello!! I brought us here, remember? By accident. So there's your explanation, mmkay let's go eat non-prison food for a change, let's make like a tree and leave this popsicle stand." Then Ivy caught her attention when she noticed the two keys.. Harley turned back and picked up hers.

"I'd say an upgrade from that crap-hole!" Harley held the key up admiring the look of it. A rush of excitement bursted within her in hopes to find out what it looks like. The little jester almost forgot what she looked like at the moment..

"Whoa wait, didja say they had everything? I need a wardrobe change pronto, Red! We both look like a couple escape mental patients."

Suddenly something hit Harley... hard.. like a slam in the face. A sickened pale look of shock froze her face. She almost forgot about the most important man in her life.. and now she fears she'll never see that dimented clown ever.. ever again..

"P-p-puddin'!?" She wimpured out in a higher tone before a few tears started to fill her eyes. She took Pamela in a tight embrace.. "I'm Nevah gonna see my JA-ha-AY!" She said each word in a sobbing tone..

"That's what the tablet said", Ivy murmured in response to Harley's question as she studied the key. When the blond mentioned a wardrobe change, she arched a red eyebrow and glanced down at her wet prison grab. "I agree. We need something that doesn't scream 'prisoner'. Perhaps our new rooms will have some suitable attire", she suggested, turning to look at Harley when she saw the saddest expression on the clown's face. Ivy opened her mouth to ask what was the matter when the blond started whimpering and it became all too clear what had her upset. "Ooohhh, I see". The red head's reaction to this realization was the opposite of Harley's. A beautiful smile crossed her face. Finally, Harley had a chance to get out from under the Joker's thumb.

She winced at the clown grabbed her in a tight embrace and rolled her emerald eyes as Harley started bawling. "There, there", she said soothingly, patting the girl on the back while trying not to make a face. "It'll be okay. I mean, you really wouldn't want him to be trapped her, would you sweetie? You know the Joker, he wouldn't like being stuck anywhere and think how much happier he would be in Gotham". Her words might have been a tad bit...manipulative but as far as Ivy was concerned the best thing in the world for Harley was to be as far away from the Joker as possible. Perhaps there was something good that could come out of being stuck on here.

"Besides, it's not you're trapped here by yourself. You've still got me, right?" Ivy continued in a soothing tone. "How about we head to our rooms, grab some clothes and then get some food? Maybe we could even think of some fun trouble we can cause while we're here". The red wiped away a stray tear from Harley's smooth cheek. "How does that sound?"

Harley took in a few sniffles and quick breathes to ease her from that unexpected panic attack.. Pamela's words and the sound of her voice was very soothing to her. She couldn't really understand how she could do that really. It was a gift Pam possessed..

"Maybe ya right.." She sadly admitted.. but Harley was never going to let go of the Joker. She was very much in love with this man... Harley also knew the power love can have.. If they were really meant to be.. and Harley knows this very well and is fully confident that they are.. She will see him again. She will. No matter what happens, this little jester always finds a way.. "It's nawt like we'll be here foreva' right?" She didn't know that.. but she needed to look on the bright side. And Ivy was helping her do that. Her wimpuring tone suddenly transitioned into her regular cheerful tone..

"Aww You're the best, Pammie! I don't know what I'd do withoutcha..!" A smile came one her face and she held her close in a tight affectionate hug. And it was very much true.. Pamela will always be her go-to gal, and partner in crime. She then started to follow the golem to where their rooms were held at. Luckily the two girls' rooms were close to eachothers. Harly dashed to her numbered door and inserted her key. She pushed open the door and what was on the other side was something she'd never expect.. It was an exact replica of Joker's Lair.. Her face never looked so lit up in her life..

"No. Way!" She quickly ran in to explore.. "They weren't lyin' when they said they'll give us everything.. I am likin' this place already." How she missed being dawned in her black and red jester costume.. which was the first thing she pulled from her closet. She slipped off that wet white teeshirt.. slid those nasty white drawstring pants down her slender legs.. and stretched on her velvety form fitting body suit.. She stood infront her mirror with her make up all ready for her. She applied her white makeup.. covering that peach skin evenly.. then the black lipstick.. and finally her black catburgler mask.. She stepped out of her room to check on Ivy.. her jester hood hanging from behind while she was fixing up her blonde hair.. She was eager to see what Ivy had in her room..

"Ya ready to tear up this planet, Red or what?"

Ivy winced as Harley gave her another tight squeeze and soon extracted herself from the surprisingly strong blond woman's embrace. Like Harley, Ivy turned to follow the golem but was less then impressed when the creature dragged them outside once more into the horrible, stormy weather. "There weren't any rooms inside that big building?" she grumbled but it wasn't a long walk before they were inside once more. While Harley dashed off to her room, Ivy moved along to find her own and let out a small gasp as she beheld the room. It was utterly perfect and filled with lush plants and flowers that reminded her of the rain forest. "Beautiful", she murmured as she encouraged the rose on her wrist to leave her body and attach itself to soil which replaced the floor. Slamming the door shut behind her, Ivy quickly stripped off her wet prison clothes.

While Harley might have went for the more dramatic costumed grab, Ivy chose something a little more toned down and less revealing than her traditional green costume. Instead she was delighted to find black hemp trousers in the closet of her room and paired it blue cotton shirt. Remembering the weather, Ivy was also smart enough to grab a rain jacket. She held the material in her hand and thought of Harley. I can only imagine what she'll be wearing. Maybe there's another jacket in here.

Just then Harley entered her room. "Of course I'm ready, I...oh my". Ivy turned around to behold the clown in her old black and red costume. It was becoming on her as always and made the redhead smile fondly. "Now that brings back memories", Ivy chuckled as she looked at Harley in her old costume. "You'll forgive me if I don't join you in wearing my old costume. I plan on remaining a little incognito until we meet some of the other people here. No point in giving away all my secrets yet. You look like lovely. Would you like a rain jacket so you don't get completely soaked?"

After Harley answered her and got a good look at the rain forest room, Ivy lead the way out to where the golem waited. It seemed like the creature's only purpose was to serve them, something that Ivy didn't mind in the least. It was always nice to have someone to boss around after all. "Now, does this place have somewhere to eat? My friend and I are feeling somewhat peckish". The creature nodded once, prompting Ivy to order, "Why don't you show us the way then?"

When Harley took notice that the Red Head chosen a more.. casual attire maybe it was far more appropriate to go under their secret identities first. The Jester looked down at her very eye-catching attire.. then back up at her.

"Yeah.. I better change. I tell ya whut, Red, ya certainly are the one with the brains.. Whut in the name of all things was I thinkin?!" Harley admitted. The sight of her room, and the sight of her old costume did get her a little overly excited. But was it necessary for her to wear it while they were about to go out and just eat? Possibly not. Harley turned herself back around to return into her room.. This time she found a red women's form fitting tee and a pair of dark flared out denim. Peeling away her precious jester fabric and this time doing the smart thing and going incognito like Miss Isley. She peeled away her black mask.. and took a washcloth to wipe away her make-up. This time primping herself into Miss Harleen Quinzel. She pulled those blonde lengthy strands into a single ponytail this time. Making sure she removed all of black lipstick, before giving herself a nice twirl in the mirror, snatching a black leather trench coat for the brutal weather and skipping back out to meet Pamela.

"I had to put it on just once. I mean we did just escape the looney bin. But babe, we do look gorgeous eitha' way.." Harley took notice that they were about to finally go grab something to eat.. Beginning to feel a few rumbles within her stomach.. And so they followed this same old stone Golem to the Kitchens. Did it really have to be in another building? It was a nightmare fighting through those harsh winds!! But the girls made it through.. they also ended up very wet.. but luckily their jackets kept them from getting too soaked. Harley shook off the droplets from her jacket a little bit before removing it.

"Talk about raining on a parade.." Harley sort of hung the jacket over the Golem's shoulder as if he was a coat hanger of some sort. She walked past this Golem.. taking a look to find an open table. She spotted a booth just near by. And took no hesitation to make herself at home and scoot herself in. Harley looked around to see if there were going to be waiters. Sure enough some more of these so called Golems were serving..Harley waved over to Pamela to beckon her to where she was sitting. "I want a big red juicy fat Lobster." She genuinely and lightly licked her lips.. She hasn't had any fancy foods in so long.. And the woman was going to take full advantage being here.

"What'll you be havin? Salad?" Harley remarked playfully and jokingly.

After Harley’s brief costume change, the girls followed the golem out back into the storm. With the rain pelting her pale skin and wind pushing against her body, Ivy had to wonder if food was really worth all this trouble. Once they were inside thought the trials of getting to the building were soon forgotten as Ivy took off her rain jacket and wordlessly gave it to the golem. The restaurant was a lovely little spot that reminded the redhead of Gotham oddly enough. Haven’t I dined in a place like this before? she wondered idly but it really didn’t matter. All that mattered now was where they were to and what she and Harley were going to do while they were there.

She scooted in the booth, sitting across from Harley and picking up a menu that lay on the table. Of course, Harley knew what she wanted immediately but Ivy was a far pickier eater. The villainess had been asked before about her eating habits, some assuming she was a strict vegetarian (which made no sense to Ivy) while others believe she was a complete carnivore since she loved plants too much to eat them. Those people were often idiots. As a doctor and a scientist, Ivy was all too aware that humans were meant to be omnivores so her diet was fairly normal, with a preference for organic food.

“Ha ha. Actually I’ll have the chicken stir-fry with a side of rice. All organic please and a glass of water”, Ivy added as she closed the menu and handed it to the golem. Soon the women were left alone as they waited for their food. “So you wished us here?” Ivy said with a mischievous smile. “I must say, you picked a good place to wish us to”. Of course, Ivy didn’t believe that Harley was responsible for their sudden change of address. If Harley had that kind of power then surely Ivy would have noticed by now.

“Judging by the number of rooms near ours though I don’t think we’re the only ones here”, Ivy continued as one waiter brought them something to drink. “I think our first course of action should be to find out who’s here and then we’ll see what sort of fun we can have with them. I wonder if this place has any useful plants around here?”

"Chicken-- I always knew ya had it in ya, Red!" She laughed teasingly after Pamela ordered her food.. which reminded her that she herself needed something to drink.. "Bring me uh-- Cherry Cola wouldya, Rocky?" She called towards the Golem as it was walking away. It stopped and gave a light nod then went ahead towards the kitchen to prepare their meals. Harley then returned her attention back to Ivy.. she grinned..

"Ya think so? It is a nice dig and all.. We could do without the Hurricane, though. Hope it's not like this all the time ya know? Wanna catch some rays since we're near a beach!" Harley then listened to her about how they are not the only ones who arrived here.. which made her brow rise in thought..

"I am likin' your plan, Pam.. I wanna find out which of these no-brainers has the most cash in their pockets too. And from the looks of the place.. we may also run into a couple-uh other weird things. I mean take a look at our waiter!" She pointed behind her with her thumb in gesture.. "Not much we can do to them.. they're practically slaves to us."

Sure enough when she did say that.. the stone figure reppeared...The Golem was remarkably quick with their order.. and sure enough their food was perfectly placed infront of them.. Harley eyed her large perfectly steamed lobster.. picking up the silverware in each hand.. and she slid her tongue over her lips once.. and taking in the steaming seafood and buttered scent.. it wasn't long until that fork and knife in her hands cracked and sliced its way through its outer red shell and into the meat.. her fork peircing a chunk of the cook meat and it went straight into her mouth..

"Mmm definitely an upgrade from that sthlop we had back at the asthylum" She said with a mouth full..

"Agreed. If my years in Gotham have taught me anything, the world is full of freaks. Present company excluded of course", Ivy added. Her green eyes followed the golem as he came to the table with their food. She idly wondered if her kiss would have any affect on such a creature but decided it didn't matter. Harely was right, the seemed to mute servants on this planet so controlling them shouldn't prove hard. Once the creature moved away, Ivy picked up her silverware and watched Harley eating for a moment before starting herself. The blond woman wasn't a sloppy eater but it was amusing to see the Harley devour the lobster with such vigor. Not that Ivy could blame her enthusiasm. Compared to prison food this was practically orgasmic.

"I never realized how I missed good food", she quipped after a few bites. For a few moments the attention of the women was consumed by the act of eating and neither spoke.The silence couldn't be kept long though since this was a rather exciting time for the queens of crime. It wasn't everyday one found themselves in paradise, seemingly free to do whatever they pleased. "What do you think about this no killing rule they have here?" Ivy had been thinking about that in the back of her mind for the past half hour. While she had originally scoffed at the idea of a planet forbidding her to kill, the red head had given it some thought and wondered what the consequences might be if someone broke the rule. Would the planet lash out? Crack the earth? Send the Golems after them?

Anything was possible.

Accidents do happen though, Ivy mused. If something looked like an accident would the planet do something then? "What do you think would happen if the rule were broken?" Ivy was genuinely curious to she what her friend thought. Despite many misconceptions about Harley Quinn and her bubbly attitude, the woman was actually intelligent.

Except when it comes to men, Ivy inwardly sighed.

Harley took a nice big swallow of her buttery shell-fish as she thought about Pam's question about the no killing rule.. it was an aggravating rule to think about..

"I'll tell ya what I think about it, Red.. The rules are really no different from what he had back home. We're not even allowed to that in Gotham! And if ya did kill somebody.. ya get tossed in the Slammer.. that is if ya get caught." SHe said sort of pointing the fork at her when she stressed 'if' and you 'you'..

"Rules are meant to be broken, Pammie. That's where we come in. And from what I learned-- There is no such thing as a place that is full of order without chaos." She did get a Phd in Psychology.. Of course she cheated her way through college.. but that is not the point. There simply cannot be a world with just Positive. There is always a Negative to balance it out. Otherwise where is the point of even living?

"But right now-- I don't see a reason to kill anyone. Not yet anyway.. Just got here. So I'm likin' the plan about getting to know the place a little bit.." Harley has killed before.. to protect her Clown Prince, to keep from getting caught, or if they were keeping her from getting something she truly wanted. "What about you, Red? What do you think could happen to us if we broke the rules?" She peirced her fork back into the cook flesh of the sea food and took another nice delectable bite.. "Mmmm mmm.. MMM!"

“True, it’s not as if we’ve met anyone who deserved it”, Ivy admitted before she took a few more bites of her delectable meal. What Harley said was interesting and trust the blond to rationalize murder but Ivy nodded. “Rules are meant to be broken but I think it wise to avoid breaking this one unless necessary”. She took a sip of water and stared thoughtfully at her glass. “This place is strange and those creatures…” Ivy glanced at the door the golem. “I think that we if break the rule we’re going to have to deal with one of those creatures. I suspect they’re more likely to kill us in return rather than lock us away like the Gotham police do”. This was all very depressing talk to Ivy and she decided to change the subject.

“We’ll worry about that when the time comes”, she decided and focused on finishing the rest of her meal. Once Ivy was satisfied she started to get antsy. To be a nice place after being locked up in Arkham for so long was simply wonderful and Ivy was eager to learn more about Mirage. She was patient enough to wait till Harley was finished eating and beckoned to a Golem who had come to collect their plates.

“Is there a map of this place?” Ivy asked the stone faced creature, thinking it was pointless to ask for actual directions. For a moment she didn’t think he was going to answer as he wordlessly collected their plates. Before he took the plates to the kitchen he reached into his shirt pocket and removed a folded square of yellow paper and handed it to Ivy. It looked too small to be much of a map at first but once Ivy started unfolding it the map grew larger and larger. “I’m never going to be able to refold this”, she muttered as she spread out the tissue thin paper over the table.

Laid out before the criminals was a details map of the main building with the rooms listed in black ink and less detailed drawings of the rooming units. “Amazing”, she murmured as her eyes slid across the map. Ivy glanced up at Harley with a mischievous grin. “So, where to first?”

"I love the way ya think, Red." She smiled with a grin.. just taking a final bite of her meal.. "We'll just uhh cross off Murder on our to-do list.. and get back to it when it really matters. Doesn't mean we can't cause a little mayhem still right?" She widened that grin with excitement..

The Golem approached the tables to take away their plates.. and Harley clapped with excitement when it returned with a map of the area. "Oh my god, it's like we're at Theme Park!" She watched Pam unfold the large map.. noticing it covering the majority of their table. She leaned forward glancing at each thing they had. Quickly she pointed towards the Spa area.

"OH my god, Pammie--LOOK! They got a Sauna?! AND a Jacuzzi?! Can ya believe the luxury we're about to be havin'?" She glanced around a little more. "Wow this place has everything. What tickles ya fancy, Red? I vote total first class relaxation! I can already taste the mix drinks!" Harley loved doing things that were very girly with Pamela.. because she could never do such pampering around her Puddin'!!

Ivy chuckled at Harley's enthusiasm for the Sauna and Jacuzzi. It seemed like rather frivolous to visit those places first but the red head pushed those thoughts aside. So what? her inner voice chided. After all that time in Arkham we deserve a little pampering. Plus, Ivy generally had a hard time saying no to Harley anyway. "Why not? I can think of nothing better than to relax in a Sauna on a wet day like this", she answered with a glance out a nearby window. The red head quickly memorized where the Sauna was located and began the difficult task of folding up the map. It took a few minutes and was nowhere as neat and tidy as it had been originally but the map was small enough to fit into her pocket. "Who knows? We might even see a few of the other guests there". Ivy got up from the table, leading the way in the hallway. The sauna and Jacuzzi where on the other side of the building though so it would take the women at least ten minutes to get there but it gave them a chance to pass by some of the other rooms.

The red head stopped to poke her head into the art gallery, taking quick note of the painting but since the room lacked people, she kept walking. It was rather eerily walking through the empty hallways and not seeing a single person. Soon enough the pair had made their way to the hallway in front of the Sauna and Ivy reached out to open the door to the locker room. “Nice”, Ivy said as she took in the room. It seemed like who ever had built this place hadn’t spared on any expensive for even the locker room looked classy with cherry wood lockers, wooden benches and stone tiled floors.

Ivy glanced at Harley, raising a red eyebrow. “So Sauna or hot tub?”
