Dite's Decadent Delights, Monday Afternoon

[glacial_queen]

Ow. Ow. Ow.

Karla was sore. Considering where she worked, that might have been a set up for a really good (or bad) joke, but it wasn't. She had just spent a whole weekend hiking through a forest, falling into caves, fighting with slavers, and then walking all over Rome. She'd thought she was in pretty decent shape, but her leg muscles were informing her otherwise today.

So rather than doing anything productive, Karla was just going to curl up with an Angelica Desmesnes novel and wish that the so-called 'personal massagers' really were meant for massaging.

Talk To Karla

Just don't ask her to fetch you anything.

Leda had Jello. And just because it creeped her out didn't mean other people might not appreciate it.

So she brought some strawberry Jello to see if Karla wanted any.

"Knock knock."

Re: Talk To Karla

[glacial_queen]

"Kiss kiss," Karla said.

It might not be the traditional response, but it was hers.

Re: Talk To Karla

And one Leda still really liked even if it was no longer likely to be followed through on.

"Hello proprietor of dirty things. Care for an earthly delight?"

Re: Talk To Karla

[glacial_queen]

"There is where you are wrong," Karla said loftily. "The things we sell here are to enhance love, romance, and pleasure. That's hardly dirty, now is it?"

Karla had gotten good at the art of spinning.

"What kind of earthly delights are we talking about?" she asked. "I might commandeer one in exchange for your misinformed nature of my wares."

"Ever hear of Jello?" Leda asked, holding up the plate with some pre-cut squares of the red confection. She'd kept it cool with a spell so it wouldn't melt in the ungodly heat.

"Isn't that the wiggly stuff they serve in the cafeteria?" Karla asked, eying the offering dubiously. "Why aren't you eating it?"

Karla had learned to be wary of the cafeteria food.

Raven knew where to find Karla on Monday afternoons, which was fairly convenient since she wanted to talk to her. And now that she had spoken to Aphrodite, she wasn't as anxious about entering the store again.

"I like the changes that Lady -- you are in pain," Raven said, her thoughts derailed as she entered the store and sensed Karla's soreness.

Re: Talk To Karla

[glacial_queen]

God, Raven!

"Just a little sore," Karla explained, though she winced a little. "This weekend was a little more physically vigorous than I'd expected. My legs are killing me."

Re: Talk To Karla

[trigons_child]

"Physically vigorous?" Raven repeated, eyes wide. "With Warren?" She didn't think he'd lied to her. Or that Karla would leap into her Virgin Night like that.

Re: Talk To Karla

[glacial_queen]

Karla just looked at Raven as if she were crazy. "No, not with Warren," she said. "With Triela."

There. That should clear everything right up.

Re: Talk To Karla

[trigons_child]

"You and Triela?" Raven near-squeaked.

She was starting not to feel so special in Karla's feelings anymore. Sad.

Re: Talk To Karla

[glacial_queen]

"Well, it's not like we meant to!" Karla protested. "It just sort of accidentally happened! How were we to know that that would be the end result?"

If this was the way Raven reacted to a bit of soreness, Karla wasn't sure she should admit what happened to Triela's arm.

Dinah was here for a, um. Bodice. Right. And possibly lacy pajamas, because given a chance to school Jaime in swordfighting, she'd at least keep the option of looking like Catherine Zeta Jones.

"Hey, Karla," Dinah sang out, then headed toward the costumes with a certain guilty gleeful look. Nothin' to see here.

Re: Talk To Karla

[glacial_queen]

"Hi, Dinah," Karla called back, not looking up from her book. "When you're done stocking up for whatever naughty thing you're planning, come down and gossip with me."

Yeah. Busted.

Re: Talk To Karla

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Nuts. Dinah peered over the railing and asked, "What gave me away?"

Oooooo. Shiny (http://www.crimsongypsy.com/bodicecorset.htm). Lots of choices! And maybe she could pick up the right kind of skirt, too.

Re: Talk To Karla

[glacial_queen]

"Your psychic scent," Karla called up with a laugh. "I'm not sure how, but I think it was giggling."

Re: Talk To Karla

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah hooted, then picked up three (http://www.by-the-sword.com/acatalog/Tapestry_Bodice_TT-219.html) bodice (http://www.by-the-sword.com/acatalog/Tapestry_Wench_Bodice_TT-425.html) combinations (http://www.by-the-sword.com/acatalog/dk-pb.jpg), and wandered down to Karla's perch. "Jaime's going to teach me to dance salsa." She grinned wickedly. "Which one is better for learning steps to a Latin dance?"

"Hello the shop!" James called out, grinning. Someone had a fun-filled weekend and owed someone eslse lunch.

Re: Talk To Karla

[glacial_queen]

Oh! And the book had just gotten good, too.

"Hello the customer," Karla said. "I take it from your expression, you won't be needing a lingerie charity?"

Re: Talk To Karla

[squire-hand.livejournal.com]

"No, thanks to you," he said with a small bow. "And I believe there was an offer of lunch.

Re: Talk To Karla

[glacial_queen]

"There may have been, but..." And here, Karla couldn't help but grin a little. "I have an offer of fabulous lunches forever that I think might trump that."

She wasn't blushing just a little bit. Shut up.

Re: Talk To Karla

[squire-hand.livejournal.com]

"Excellent," he said. "You can tell me about your fabulous lunch over our mediocre one." His grin may have lit up half the store. "For thanks. And because I am curious."

Mod Your Shopping

If you want something fetched, you can do it yourself.

OOC

[glacial_queen]

It neither fetches nor carries.
