Dite's Decadent Delights, Thursday

[princessarcasm]

The special that Irene had had up yesterday looked to be doing pretty well so far, so Amy wasn't going to tamper with the sign.

As for her tasks today, well -- she picked a radio station that was playing a lot of Beyonce and meanwhile tried her best to talk herself out of using her employee discount on some of the stuff that looked particularly tempting. It was... not working.

Because God knows you can probably use more than one of whatever it is, this week

It had only been a matter before Ezra made his way into this particular store, especially after his conversation with Raven at the party.

He hadn't necessarily expected anyone familiar behind the counter, though.

"Oh, hello."

[princessarcasm]

Excuse Amy while she tried to pretend she hadn't just been singing along to whatever was on the radio. "Oh, hey," she said. "Welcome to Dite's. Um, can I help you find anything?"

She hadn't had too many face-to-face interactions with customers yet, especially ones she knew from school. It was a little awkward.

[smilestopscars]

Ezra was largely unfamiliar with the concept of 'awkward', so hopefully that would help. He glanced around and shrugged. "I'm not looking for anything in particular," he shrugged. "I haven't been here before, so I'm mostly here to check out the selection."

Also the staff, apparently, but he didn't say that out loud. Yet.

[princessarcasm]

"Well, welcome," Amy said, doing her best to be welcoming despite the fact that she was certainly feeling awkward. "Um, anything you might want to put in something is over there, and anything that goes on something is on that wall. And condoms and lubes and stuff are over there. Those are more ambiguous."

She wasn't sure if that organization system was intentional or not, but it was how she remembered where things went. And, sometimes, what things were used for. She was learning!

[smilestopscars]

And everything educational was good!

"I was going to ask about things that are fun when you're solo," Ezra mused, possibly because he was terrible and sometimes caused awkwardness to happen. Around him, not to him. "But I don't know if your system allows for that or not."

[princessarcasm]

"Wait, you?" Amy blurted. Somehow she hadn't thought of Ezra as needing to do the whole... solo thing. "I mean, um. Sorry."

And she had been so professional just moments before! Oh wait, no.

"Um, were you thinking stuff for, like, penetrating yourself? We have a lot of butt... things. Or we just got a shipment of this warming lube that's supposed to be good for being on your own. I think it's called 'Your Hand is Better Than None.'"

[smilestopscars]

Ezra snickered. Hey, at least she perhaps wasn't so awkward about this right now. "I get by, especially this week, but sometimes it's just too much of a hassle to try and go find a willing participant, when the mood strikes." He could get incredibly lazy sometimes. "That lube actually sounds pretty promising."

[princessarcasm]

"Yeah, right this way," Amy said, pointing him toward the display. "There's all these different scents -- I mean, they say they're flavors, but they're not edible, so that's just confusing. You can try the test bottles."

She shifted from foot to foot, wondering if she should go ahead and ask a question on her mind. "Um, so how'd the party go for you?"

[smilestopscars]

Ezra smirked at her before actually tilting his head at the display and looking at what the different scents were. "I think you saw how the party went for me." Well, at the actual party part of it, anyway. "It was good, but afterwards was better."

[princessarcasm]

"Better--? Oh. Congrats," Amy said. "Everyone at this school has so much sex. I mean, not that I'm opposed, but wow."

Way to remember that you were working at a sex store, Amy.

[smilestopscars]

"You'd think that wouldn't come as a surprise," Ezra replied, with a meaningful glance around them, because, yes. "Anyway, I doubt this... whatever you want to call this week –" Except amazing. "– I doubt this happens a lot."

[princessarcasm]

"I hope not," Amy said. "It's good for business, but it's exhausting."

She uncapped one of the lubes, sniffed it and closed it right away. "Ew. Coconut."

[smilestopscars]

"Is there vanilla? I like vanilla." As a scent. Not necessarily in some other meanings of the word. "Not sure I find it lube-appropriate, but I'm curious."

[princessarcasm]

She plucked a vanilla one from a drawer under the display and handed it over. "Do people really do the whole smelling like dessert thing in bed? I feel like it'd just be distracting."

Seriously, she really needed to remember that she was the one who worked here and was supposed to have the answers to these things.

[smilestopscars]

Meanwhile, Ezra wondered if he shouldn't also work here. He would've asked fewer questions of that sort, anyway.

"I think smelling like a dessert is delicious, not distracting," he said as he flipped the top open to smell the scent. "Take you, for instance. With your look, smelling like vanilla, maybe some caramel, should just make people want to eat you up."

Or maybe that was just him.
