"Well, most of the customers who come to my shop are sad lonely people who want an escape. Poisons have become a less addictive replacement to alcohol," she'd realized it sounded like she was a horrible door-to-door salesman and sucked at explaining it without insulting people. "I personally am none of those and just drink it for the flavor," she wasn't very picky about the types of poison, even if they had disgusting things that made them more poisonous in them, she'd still drink it. She didn't have much to drown out with it other than her past, but she is easily lost when studying more poisons. "Most people when trying to kill people would get them from illegal sources since there are no records of who bought what," she'd say with a slight smile.

Ivy hadn't thought of trying on bugs, "That's a good idea it might work." She didn't realize she made any noise that would signify that she was upset. "That person won't use the poison, it'll just go to waste," she looked genuinely saddened by the thought of poisons going to waste, "They just like how that specific poison looks on their shelf, because if it gets hit by the light it's a nice color, although it's quite expensive and one of the best tasting poisons." She'd figured out all of the customers who actually drink that poison and has avoided having small talk with the ones who just waste it, as well as growing to dislike the wasteful ones.

"Well, I doubt I'll get any better without practicing on live subjects, although I'm not sure anybody would really be able to live through it," she'd be thinking of ways she could practice to no avail though. After a while of planning a customer would come in and she'd look to Esperanza and say, "One moment, please." She'd impatiently wait for the customer to decide on something, even though they were going quick Ivy felt like it was going on for eons. She'd begin to rhythmically tape on the counter, eyeing the customer impatiently. Once the customer finally left she would let out an audible sigh. She realized she quite enjoyed Esperanza's company, which confused her since they've only met twice, although she quickly comes to see people as friends.

"No, I can't control it," she'd breathe in then explain, "It just enters cyanide, well what I believe is cyanide, slowly into the bloodstream." She was slightly confused why Esperenza would be so interested in this, although she was fine sharing. "I wish I could control it, that would make life so much easier," she'd think about the things she could do if she were allowed to touch people for longer than about 5 seconds. "Maybe eventually I'll learn how to control it," she'd say, but it would seem very out of place since she isn't usually the optimistic type.

I know the stakes are kinda high, I should take away their weed

personality -
(view spoiler)[He is incredibly forgiving to all people, excluding himself. Kinsly is incredibly unlikely to forgive himself for any small mistakes that he had previously made and will not forget those mistakes. He is one of the nicest people you'll know when he's sober, although when drunk he seems much more unhinged. He is incredibly loving of those close to him, although he makes rash decisions to try to protect them, though it usually ends up harming them though. He warms up to people incredibly quickly and is overly trusting towards everyone. (hide spoiler)]

Sorry, you had something on your face.

history _
(view spoiler)[ Kinsly was born into a normal-seeming family, although at home his father was incredibly abusive towards both him and his mother. His earliest memories were hiding from his father in fear of being hit. Most people avoided him in school, due to his father being abusive and rumors getting out about it. He never had friends he was regularly around, until about the age of 11 when he met Peleki. At first, he wasn't trusting of her due to his track record, although he slowly began to trust her more and more. Peleki was his only friend until about high school where he became friends with another person, although he didn't see them as much as he saw Peleki. When he was 14 his mother died and that just caused his father to be much more abusive, leading to him trying to stay away from home for as long as possible, although he often got in even more trouble for doing that. His mother would always tell him stories about how his father was the sweetest man before he was born and when he heard Peleki was pregnant he was scared he'd become like that. He eventually came up with a way to protect her from himself, although it was faking his death. He lived in small towns for a long time, although he recently moved back to the capital because he just missed something about it. (hide spoiler)]

Ivy hadn't heard of anything similar to that and it quite interested her. "Hm, that's quite interesting. Well, since you told me something I'll tell you something. I can put cyanide into people's bloodstream just at a touch, although I avoid doing it on live subjects for enough to be fatal," she'd pause to do the math in her head, but accidentally talk aloud, "Let's see 0.5 mg per second, 12 mg would kill the average snake. 2 seconds for 1 mg." she'd take a breath in to then tell Esperenza, "I can kill the average person by only making contact with them for 24 seconds, though your thing seems much more practical and you could use it on a regular basis." she'd laugh a bit, but then she realized that Esperanza could use that bit of information to benefit herself, although Ivy doesn't allow herself to make contact with anybody. She knew it was stupid of her to place this heavy of a thing onto Esperanza, but she did anyway.

"Hm? No, I've just had a good bit of poison today," Ivy didn't understand what Esperanza meant at all, although she thought that whatever Esperanza thought she had caused wasn't caused by her. "Although, I'd probably get in trouble for consuming some on the job, but who is there to stop me?" she'd say with a slight chuckle at the end. She knew nobody would try to close down her shop, although it may just look like a small shop it was quite popular among all different groups. She replayed what Esperanza said and then decided to ask, "What would've affected me?"

"Wait, that was contradictory of me since I was saying how I was good at keeping secrets but told you a secret," she'd point out, although she didn't really care, she had learned that other people care about small little things like that. While saying that she'd slither over to a cabinet and get another vile of arsenic, then begin to sip on it. She felt a bit tipsy from the previous vile of arsenic and wouldn't really be slithering straight, on her way to the second vile she almost knocked over a vile in the section that requires fermenting for about 4 weeks. When going back to the front counter she accidentally knocked over a small vile she had left on the counter and would accidentally let out a "Fuck."

Ivy wasn't really phased that she was told some really important stuff. "Oh wait, is it like a super-secret thing? Well, don't worry I don't have anyone to tell it to," she'd try to say in a comforting manner, although it was just causing her to talk slightly quietly. Ivy was being honest by saying she didn't have anybody to tell, the only people who talked to her were people from the shop, but she still felt as though that wouldn't help. "I'm also really good at keeping secrets, for example, once someone from like the canine kingdom told me they were only pretending to consume poisons to impress the girl she liked," she wasn't sure if that would help, but maybe it would.

"Ah, I thought they were extinct, but I also thought that the canine kingdom was small for a large part of my childhood," she was visibly pissed that someone had misinformed her, without realizing that most everyone believe they were extinct. "If you are to request more cyanide, I wouldn't recommend over 15 mg. You seem confident in your poison tolerance, but I don't want a dead body in my store," she'd say partially joking, although she was actually worried that it could be a liability if somebody died. Would that get her store shut down if a passerby saw it? Nothing could prove that it wasn't a really thought-out murder, other than maybe people who know her personally. If she were to murder somebody it wouldn't be thought out. It'd likely be on an impulse or an accident.
