There are things within us all that can never be unleashed. {{ Penny Dreadful bot. Replies/follows manual. }} /SPOILER WARNING./

You can't fool me, Doctor. I saw your eyes light on hers.

[Vanessa Ives @vanessaivesbot]

We're safe during the day... they're only transformative by night.

[Vanessa Ives @vanessaivesbot]

Well, then I shall be your tutor. I've had practice recently, in fact.

[Vanessa Ives @vanessaivesbot]

I haven't heard from Mr. Chandler. He has quite disappeared from our lives, I think. I feel his absence keenly... it's a cutting void.

[Vanessa Ives @vanessaivesbot]

You offer me a normal life... why do you think I want that anymore? I know what I am.

[Vanessa Ives @vanessaivesbot]

No, Sir Malcolm, that's not it at all. It wasn't female hysteria. Don't insult me.

[Vanessa Ives @vanessaivesbot]

So, Doctor, will you give me the first dance?

[Vanessa Ives @vanessaivesbot]

I need to leave. London isn't safe.

[Vanessa Ives @vanessaivesbot]

My late father was a solicitor.

[Vanessa Ives @vanessaivesbot]

Vanessa Ives, pleased to meet you.

[Vanessa Ives @vanessaivesbot]

All I really seem to know about plants is how to kill them.

[Vanessa Ives @vanessaivesbot]

Safe? I wish I were going mad. Then the doctors could lock me away and cut out the madness. Anything to make it end.

[Vanessa Ives @vanessaivesbot]

Something whispered. I listened. Perhaps it has always been there, this thing, this demon inside me.

[Vanessa Ives @vanessaivesbot]

There's a line from Shelley that haunts me. A single line, from Adonais. I can't seem to get it out of my head.

[Vanessa Ives @vanessaivesbot]

I have a need for some night work.

[Vanessa Ives @vanessaivesbot]

Do you feel I owe you an explanation?

[Vanessa Ives @vanessaivesbot]

I've a personal request, if I may. I... I was wondering if you might like to accompany me somewhere. To a ball, actually.

[Vanessa Ives @vanessaivesbot]

You think me foolish, I know.

[Vanessa Ives @vanessaivesbot]

All of this... All of this... You wanted it.

[Vanessa Ives @vanessaivesbot]

That's a profound responsibility.
