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!?"

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?”
