Dite's Decadent Delights, Monday Afternoon

[glacial_queen]

After the insane weekend she had--which included getting up after her nap to thank Alex Karev and ended with her punching him several times--Karla was more than ready to get back into the nice, steady, non-crazy routine of the week. Looking forward to it in fact.

The first sign that all was not going to be regular or routine was the shock she got grasping the handle of the door. Rage, bitterness, and betrayal coursed through the that point of contact. Wood and stone and metal absorbed the strong emotions of the people within and while it had been too long to draw out any visions of what had occurred to upset 'Dite so, the building remembered her reaction.

Filled with concern, Karla opened the door--and stepped into a strange new place. Explicit pornography was still playing on giant teevees ringing the walls. Leather and metal and images of body parts were everywhere.

And on the desk was a package with her name on it and a very brief note: Wear it. Upon seeing what was inside, Karla was very, very tempted to walk over to the Arms and demand what the Hell 'Dite was on when she thought this was a good idea.

And then she remembered the seething anger from the door.

Next week, she decided. She'd take 'Dite to task for it next week.

Until then, 'Dite's was open and Karla was...technically dressed.

[OCD up. Dite's thread for Dite only, please, though anyone else can feel free to talk to Karla. Just assume all links are NSFW]

Or just boggle at her 'uniform'

Dite's Thread

[glacial_queen]

For when the Goddess makes her entrance.

And what an entrance it was.

'Dite threw open the door from her office with a bang and descended down the stairs. She was dressed in a black leather suit and had a flogger with just a hint of pink hanging from a hook on her belt. Four inch heels guaranteed that she'd tower over just about everyone.

"Oh, good, you found your new uniform. We can change it out if you don't like that one; I think you'd look good with cat ears (http://www.tradenote.net/images/users/000/066/111/products_images/Sexy_Costumes__Kitten_Costume.jpg)."

She approached the desk and slapped a book on it. "This is the appointment book for the dungeon, be careful not to double book a time, and get a phone number." 'Dite stared at Karla. "Stop slouching, and don't try to pull that skirt down so far."

Re: Dite's Thread

Karla automatically straightened, her hand falling away from her skirt in mid-tug. This had to be some weird...thing. It just had to. "'Dite?" she asked, not even looking at the other costume or the, uhh, dungeon book. "What the Hell is going on? What happened to the store? Why do you have a...is that a flogger? Are you okay?"

Yay for last week, when Karla finally got around to learning the inventory.

"Fine. Why? And it's Mistress 'Dite. Can't have a dungeon without a Mistress."

She flipped open the book and pulled out a flyer that said Dungeon Workers Wanted! "Give one of these to Dinah, hm? She'd be perfect as a domme." 'Dite gave Karla a once over. "Not sure I could make you into one, but Raven might be interested."

"Karla?" Ben called, coming into the store. "I heard that people were fuss--" The rest of that sentence got forgotten when he saw what she was wearing.

The ceiling was good. The ceiling was fascinating.

"Um."

Re: Talk to Karla

[glacial_queen]

Karla scowled, wrapping her arms over her chest. "'Dite's gone insane," she informed him. In case he thought that the decor was her idea. "And I look like a bleeding idiot."

Re: Talk to Karla

[momslilassassin]

"It's certainly a different look for you," Ben told the ceiling, shrugging out of his overtunic and holding it in her general direction.

Re: Talk to Karla

[glacial_queen]

Karla snatched at it gratefully and shrugged it on. "I might have to vanish it," she warned. "'Dite's been in and out all day. Working on her dungeon."

She felt world's better properly covered up. She didn't normally have a problem with tops that showed off her chest (or what little there was of it), but wearing something so obviously designed to titillate had been...distinctly odd. "You can look now."

After a lovely and still being played out ride last Thursday, James decided that he might want something decadent and delightful. He was not sure what a Dite was, or if he would want that.

He gawped; that was the best way to describe the look as James peered around the store from just inside the entrance. This...was a joy house of sinister aspect, with objects that made even a jaded boy thief cringe.

He muttered an oath to Banath that he would be able to leave freely, and with all his skin attached. The oath was probably overloud.

Re: Talk to Karla

[glacial_queen]

Oh great. A new male Karla had never spoken to. He was going to think she went around like this all the bleeding time. "Welcome to Dite's," she said, trying not to wince. Or facepalm. "Can I...help you? With something."

Not like that. Mother Night, not like that.

Re: Talk to Karla

[squire-hand.livejournal.com]

James gave her a once-over that was not a leer. "I'm sure you could. What services do you offer?"

Either this was her first day or he was reading her wrong.

Warren had survived that class on Friday! And so he had to swing by for Karla's shift to catch her to tell her how it had gone, clearly. He wasn't so nervous as he could be. After all, this place had plenty of tastefu--

...

"Huh."

Pardon Warren while he stood in the doorway, rigid as a board, trying to figure out what the heck had happened, here.

Re: Talk to Karla

[glacial_queen]

Why had Karla ever stopped facepalming? It would just have saved time. "Kiss ki--" No. Wait. This might actually not be the best time for her trademark greeting. Not when she was wearing...whatever the Hell she was wearing. "Hi, Warren," Karla said through her fingers. "Welcome to 'Dite's. Can I make you an appointment for the dungeon?"

Re: Talk to Karla

[wwiii]

"I think maybe I can probably get through the rest of my day without a trip to the dungeon," Warren managed, still rather wide-eyed. "What in the world happened here?"

A pause.

"What in the world are you wearing?"

Tim needed to do something heterosexual after class hadn't seen Karla since Friday, so he stopped by to see her at work. See? Totally not scared of porn!

He stopped dead inside. Boggled for a moment. Then saw what Karla was wearing. "Karla?" He strode over to her. "What's going on? Why are you wearing that?" He was already unbuttoning his overshirt so he could offer it to her.

Re: Talk to Karla

[glacial_queen]

Porn everywhere! He was totes in the right place!

"Because it is apparently required now as part of the conditions for my continued employment," Karla muttered sourly. "Because small-chested girls with lacy drawers are somehow an incentive to buy things, apparently."

After several hours of this, Karla had stopped seeing her costume as being anything but bloody uncomfortable.

That didn't stop her from giving Tim a grateful look when he offered up his shirt. Karla had been giving back her borrowed clothing when her friends left, after 'Dite has vanished the first blanket she'd tried to cover up with.

"You can get another job," Tim said firmly. "If money's an issue, I can help you out until you find something. You don't need to work at a place that degrades you."

Mod Your Shopping

[glacial_queen]

If you aren't distracted by...everything. At least Karla put all the porn on mute.

Poor Karla...

Heee. Poor Raven, too.

Buck up, kid. It's not like you haven't done this before . . . although Mistress 'Dite has a better ring than Mistress Raven.

It's a very good thing Cassidy hasn't decided to visit Karla at work yet because I think this would make her faint dead away. :D

Re: OOC

[divinesurfchick.livejournal.com]

She can always show up on Karla's days off.... 'Dite would love to meet her!
