Dite's Decadent Delights; Friday [ 07/17 ].

Sometimes, Valentine Wiggin was just a horrible person.

Though thoroughly pleased to find herself not in the mood any more to randomly break out into song at random interjections, she felt others might perhaps miss the music in their lives and had compiled together a series of merchandise to offer to them based on that fact. Which included products driven to the tunes on your iPod, musical condoms, and rather inventive instruments.

The crap people came up with. Although, really, Valentine rationalized that at least people were using their creativity into something like this instead of more effective ways to kill off mass populations. You could get some use and entertainment out of a toy that played music, but a musical A-bomb was probably less likely to be enjoyed.

Dite's Decadent Delights is open!

"Well, you don't use it all at once," Valentine said with a faint smile. Hearing something that sounded like the guy wasn't about to lecture her about harlots and Jezebels made her feel a little more comfortable joking again. Although it certainly didn't pass her notice that he'd referred to Heaven as a we. "I don't know if I'd say it's excessive so much as diverse? Individuals, after all, are highly individual."

"The human body is not that complicated."

"No," Valentine said, "but the human mind is, and if we were satisfied by only what the body could do, not only would this business not be so lucrative, but human civilization would be incredibly boring to boot. Not all of us are quite confined to reaching pleasure through being grunting, sweating animals."

"So you contend that requiring technology for pleasure is a positive."

Valentine carefully considered the specificity of the question before coming up with an answer. "Requiring anything but the basics...air, water, sleep, food...isn't a positive. But I contend that having technology for pleasure available is a positive, yes. Requiring it suggests dependency, which isn't good, of course, but if you're simply taking advantage of what's available, what's the harm?"

Pause.

"Besides hellfire and brimstone, of course."

Surprisingly enough, Castiel decided not to get into Hell, just now. "But it is the taking advantage of, as you say, which leads to the dependency."

"If taken out of moderation, sure," Valentine agreed easily enough. "The same goes for anything we may desire. Desire dulls the senses, or else no one would ever get married or fat. But that's why we have to keep our senses sharpened, so that we don't fall into dependency."

Later, Valentine would be very amused that she was giving a speech on the benefits of being intellectual in the middle of a sex shop with an individual she suspected of being a part of the supernatural category here on the island.

"That is quite a scathing criticism of the institute of marriage."

Castiel did approve of marriage, after all.

"Talk to me about it when I'm not eighteen," Valentine said, "and we'll see if I still feel the same way."

Although, really, she was only seventeen, but she was saying eighteen to play things on the safe side while she was working here.

Castiel was a good several millenia old. He didn't really have much by way of a concept of human age.

"Very well."

To that, Valentine smiled a little and paused a moment before asking, "So did you just come in to have a look, or can I interest you in getting anything?"

If he came all this way, might as well, right?

"I don't believe I require any of the items you sell here."

He really probably wouldn't know what to do with them if he bought 'em. Though Jimmy might be fussing at him that it really had been quite a long time.

"I thought we already covered the part about requirement not really having anything to do with it," Valentine said, not even bothering to hold her grin back now.

It wasn't easy to fluster an angel. Valentine was getting close.

"Yes, well. I may find . . . ecstasy in other ways."

If Valentine had known that, she would have felt very proud of herself, and then probably have ruminated on how the whole thing was pretty much pointless anyway.

"And that's the whole point," she said. "Anyone can find . . . ecstasy in a variety of ways. That's what we hope to provide here."

Castiel sighed internally. Perhaps it would behoove him to learn a bit more about the vices of the people surrounding him. "Very well. What would you recommend for an individual like myself?"

A lot of the suggestions that immediately came to Valentine's head involved the general suggestion of loosening whatever it was up his butt. However, those comments hardly seemed professional, although they amused her greatly. She didn't think he'd be as amused.

...She wasn't sure if he could be amused at all, actually.

"We could always get you started on some very vanilla porn," she offered. "See what you think. Work our way from there."

...She needed to stop hanging out with Turtle. It was a bad sign when you were managing to structure a continued patronage plan in a porn shop.

"Pornography comes in flavors?"

He was possibly taking that too literally.

Which gave Valentine a great opportunity, being able to reach out to a little packet near the register and unravel it as she held it out.

"No," she said, "but condoms do!"

Castiel nodded seriously at the condoms. "Then why are you offering 'vanilla porn'?"

[ooc: so, uhhhh. Is the stock moddable? *eg*]
