Dite's Decadent Delights, Monday Afternoon

[glacial_queen]

Karla was often surprised by random deliveries when she walked into work on Mondays. Snowglobes, new supplies, giant metal chickens... Usually when she found herself in the middle of a surprise shipment of new stock, her emotions ranged from confused to flabbergasted to simply resigned.

Today, however, she opened the door to a new shipment of what appeared to be naughty games and romantic movies and simply smiled. 'Dite was back on the island. Things were just a little bit better in her world.

And the muffled thump-thump-yowl of a cat somehow managing to upend an entire box of DVDs on his head?

Yep. That was normal, too.

Talk to Karla

While she's organizing and sorting the stock--and rescuing Hercules, silly thing!

Remembering the large number of orders she'd put in on Friday, 'Dite decided to stop by the store and help Karla out. Besides, Hercules was there, and she needed to pick him up before she left that night.

Unless Karla wanted to keep him at the store? She'd have to ask.

As she came in the door, she was muttering.

"A cock on the porch . . . either I'm going soft or it's beginning to be funny to me."

"It's hilarious!" Karla called back, from where she was lugging a box. "And full of whimsy!"

'Dite rolled her eyes. "Whimsy, shmimsy. It's a big metal fowl." Then she shook her head as she moved to look over parts of the order. "At least you didn't put a great big sign on it, or name it or anything."

She didn't even want to think of what Kenzi might come up with as a name for that . . .thing.

"The name!" Karla said, snapping her fingers. "We ran a contest for that! Let me find the results!"

She dove under the counter and came up with a handful of papers, all of which had names on them.

"Would you like a chance to vote for a name before I announce the winner?" she asked, offering 'Dite the stack.

"Are you kidding me?" 'Dite pinched the bridge of her nose. "You had a contest to name the stupid chicken on the porch?"

Give her a minute. Give her a minute . . .

And then she started laughing. "You had a contest . . ." and dissolved into giggles.

Darn it, Karla, you broke your employer again.

"It's a rooster," Karla offered. Helpfully. "He's our mascot!"

Re: Talk to Karla

[divinesurfchick.livejournal.com]

"Mascot! Right!" She finally calmed down. "And what kind of name choices did we have?"

Oh, yes, give her a good example, Karla.

Raven remembered (vaguely) calling Karla during the jello-induced singing and felt she owed her friend an apology for being so dirty at her. Down in her South Seas? Oh, Azar.

She still felt a little twitchy coming into the store, but she knew she'd find Karla there. "Karla?" she called out as she slipped inside.

Re: Talk to Karla

[glacial_queen]

"I'm in the back!" Karla called out.

And because she couldn't help it, added, "Watch out! There's a small craft advisory!"

Re: Talk to Karla

Raven facepalmed as she headed to the back of the store. "I am sorry for the phone calls," she said. "Cassidy and I were...not ourselves."

They were rainbow jello addicts.

Re: Talk to Karla

[glacial_queen]

"You sounded a little...tipsy," Karla noted. "Karaoke?"

Re: Talk to Karla

[trigons_child]

"Cassidy had asked me to join her for tea," Raven tried to explain. "It seemed to have had an intoxicating effect on us, which made us decide to go to Caritas for jello shots." Well, she'd decided, and dragged Cassidy along.

"And then, yes, we sang. We chose a song at random." Blush.

Re: Talk to Karla

[glacial_queen]

"What kind of tea?" Karla the Black Widow asked. "What in the Darkness were you drinking."

Re: Talk to Karla

[trigons_child]

"It was licorice tea," Raven said, "but I know Cassidy would never knowingly give me something alcoholic, nor would I have drunk it."

At least not with someone around to stop her from projecting once she got tipsy.

It wasn't that Bo had actually run out of condoms. Even she couldn't manage that, even that week, with the amount she tended to keep on hand for emergencies. It was just that she'd packed them all when she fled the island.

Which meant that a) yes, she'd insanely overestimated even vampiric stamina, and b) the rest of them were in Wales now. Because when she'd said, "Oh, I forgot my--" with a portal waiting in the back garden, and George had offered to fetch whatever it was... Yeah. You're welcome for that "Never mind" and the continued existence of your boyfriend's brain, Nina.

So, shopping.

Also, "Nice cock," because it was kind of a moral imperative to say as she walked in.

[glacial_queen]

"Thanks!" Karla said cheerfully. "He's full of whimsy!"

And was almost the same height as Karla!

"Welcome to 'Dites!"

Re: Talk to Karla

[nookiepowered]

Bo eyed the chicken (over her shoulder), then the girl. "Is that what the kids are calling it these days?"

'Dite stepped out of the back storeroom, a list of videos in her hand. It took her a moment to recognize the energy signature of the new person in the store.

"Like it, didn't see it, saw it, hated it, don't wanna see it and -- Yech! Karla, aren't there any go -- goo -- gaaahh!"

Re: Talk to Karla

[glacial_queen]

"Gaaah?" Karla responded, whipping her head around to look at 'Dite. "Is everything okay?"

Re: Talk to Karla

[nookiepowered]

"Found the tentacle porn, hu---" Talk about energy signatures..... "Hello, nurse!"

Um.

"Um. Hi?"

Re: Talk to Karla

[divinesurfchick.livejournal.com]

"Um." Blink. "Hi." Blink-blink. "Who are you?"

'Dite knew what she was. And the last one she'd met . . .

Re: Talk to Karla

[glacial_queen]

"This is Bo, the school security officer," Karla said slowly, blinking between the two of them. "Uhh, Bo? This is 'Dite, of 'Dite's Decadent Delights..."

Huh. She was willing to bet neither of them were paying much attention to her.
