'Dite's Decadent Delights, Monday afternoon

[divinesurfchick.livejournal.com]

She entered her store on a Monday at one, singing, "Do lolly, lolly shicky bum, shicky bum."

Hercules was there, glaring at her for her inattention, but 'Dite was too happy to care.

"Herculeeeeeeees!! You little cutie, you." The cat was too stunned to run as 'Dite advanced on him. She put a hand under his chin and lifted, then kissed the top of his head, saying, "I loves you very much, yes, I do! Were you a good boy while Mommy 'Dite was gone?"

The look he gave her said it all. 'Are you crazy? Of course not, why would you even think that! I'm a cat!'

"Gooooood Herculeeees!" She scratched his head and flounced away to open the rest of the store.

Herc stared after her, wondering if the humans had found his drilling equipment and this was a clever way of making him come clean.

Decadent Delights is open.

(ooc: Store and post open. I'm around intermittently with bouts of slow play.)

Sometime in the afternoon, Karla wandered in. "'Diiiiiite...." she whined whined. "It's cold. I wanna go back to the Bahamas."

[divinesurfchick.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I know what you meeeeean." 'Dite was leaning back in a beach chair, a sunlamp over her, a fan in her hand, and an oversized pina colada glass by her side.

She slid her sunglasses down her nose. "I wanted to stay another week. But Max decided to be a responsible bore and come back. The hazards of dating a teacher, I suppose." A snap of her fingers and another beach chair appeared, the sun lamp enlarging to encompass both of them. A similar glass sat next to the chair. "Join me. We'll get a tan together."

[glacial_queen]

Like Karla needed a second invitation. She vanished her coat and sweater before she was halfway across the store, sinking into the chair with a grateful sigh. "Much better," she agreed. "How is it that I was able to spend a week doing nothing on a beach, but an afternoon with no classes or rehearsals or anything is just a drag?"

[divinesurfchick.livejournal.com]

'Dite sipped her drink, her sunglasses once again over her eyes. "Because on the beach you still had something to do. There were guys to watch, sandcastles to build, swims to take," she raised her glasses and winked at her friend with those words, "and lots of other things that took up time." Another sip. "Here? You've already done all those things, so it turns to boredom."

Reaching out with her glass, intending to clink Karla's in a toast, she said, "That's what you have me for, Sweet Pea. To keep you from getting bored."

[glacial_queen]

"Nudes to watch," Karla added innocently, clinking her glass with 'Dite's. "So is that why you're really here in Fandom for? To keep one little witch entertained? I'm flattered."

She grinned at Dite and took a sip of her pina colada. "How shall we keep ourselves amused today?"

[divinesurfchick.livejournal.com]

"Well. . . " As Aphrodite thought about that, Hercules passed by, his tail up higher than his head, a smug look on his face as he purred. "For one thing, you can help me figure out what that cat is up to. He's been entirely too pleased with himself, and yet I can't find anything he's eaten or shredded." She watched him sauter away. "And he's been purring a lot. Loudly. When I'm no where near him. It's very weird."

Like a cat that belonged to the goddess of love could be anything else.

[glacial_queen]

Karla also watched Hercules saunter by. "Maybe he fought off a gremlin? Or...hid something in a tiny place you can't find? Or..." she paused for a moment, thinking. "Maybe he's in love?"

[divinesurfchick.livejournal.com]

"What? No. No! I will not have a litter of little Hercules's and Iolaus's running all over the store! No!" She made a chopping motion with her hand. "Just -- no."

Then her head tilted. "But . . . I bet they'd be cu-- no!"

[glacial_queen]

"Kiiiiiiiiitens," Karla teased. "Just think how adorable they'll be, all tiny and puffy and cute. Almost as cute as a pisces!" She snorted. "They could be pouncing little advertisements for condoms and contraceptive brews!"

[divinesurfchick.livejournal.com]

"Ooooh. I like how you think." She nodded. "I could loan them to whoever's going to teach Sex-Ed up at the school. 'Have sex without a condom and THIS is what could happen'!" She laughed. "Oh, that's brilliant. You're good, Karla. You should come work for me."

[glacial_queen]

"Telling students that sex leads to kittens might not have the effect you were going for," Karla said, dimpling.

Though she was a bit taken aback by 'Dite's offer. "Me? Come work for you? You mean that?" Aback, but still intrigued. "I've never had a job before..."

[divinesurfchick.livejournal.com]

It had been spur of the moment, and she hadn't really meant it, but now that 'Dite thought about it . . .

"Sure! Of course I mean it!" She slid her glasses down again. "What better way for you to get more comfortable with the personal side of sex, rather than the professional?"

It made sense to her. Plus it would be so worth it to see Karla turn red once in a while.

[glacial_queen]

Karla giggled again. "While it's not what one usually thinks of when it comes to professional sex, wouldn't working here still be more professional than personal?" she asked. "Unless you're not hiring me to work the cash machine thingy, and then we're really going to have to negotiate terms."

[divinesurfchick.livejournal.com]

"Oooooooh! Karla, you little vixen you!" 'Dite sipped her drink. "I meant that you could take the opportunity to read, or get familiar with certain more . . . personal items." She sat up a little. "You are a sexual creature, after all. As a healer you may know about how the body responds, but, Sweet Pea, there's a whole 'nother level you don't know anything about."

She settled back in her chair, then grinned. "Unless you want me to open a brothel so you can truly get personal experience."

[glacial_queen]

"I've worked in a brothel before," Karla said innocently.

Well, she'd worked near a brothel. But with whores! It was all part of her Healer training. But she wasn't necessarily going to say that.

Not that 'Dite wouldn't be able to guess, what with Karla being a virgin and all.

[I'm sorry, my internet went out last night!]

[divinesurfchick.livejournal.com]

"Sweet Pea, there's a big difference between working in a brothel, and working in a brothel. Changing the sheets and handing out tonics doesn't really count for the second." Shifting carefully on her chair she rolled a little so she could see Karla more easily. "Still. I'll bet that was an educational experience, huh?"
