Dite's Decadent Delights | Friday Evening - Valentine's Open House!

[begmetwice]

Once more, Irene could hardly help but feel that she had outdone herself – though she could also quite easily admit she'd had help.

This year, she'd eschewed the usual fluffy Valentine's theming and had instead leaned full-force into having a hookup (ahem) with the blacksmith – every surface was decorated again with beautifully-detailed steel roses, featuring occasional pops of color amongst their petals, and intricate metallic vinework decorated the columns, displays, light fixtures and countertops. Discreet enough to be classy but prominent that there was no missing it, Irene had also affixed little signs crediting Amaya for her work, with accompanying business cards for all your blacksmithing needs.

Off to one side, there was a completely moddable NPC bartender Irene had hired off the mainland, well-stocked with thematic drinks, and to another little side was a table that would almost certainly be described in much more detail in the comments, featuring Summer's shots of varying…shapes.

Tables draped with red and pink satin accents were distributed through the store with the requisite sex-shoppy displays on them -- massage oils near the entrance, vibrators, plugs and dildos up in the middle, and the more intense gear towards the back. Naturally, some of those steel roses were laid out artfully amongst the toys, perhaps in an effort to render the toys less intimidating by comparison. Near to the entrance was a table with a large glass fishbowl and a stack of little slips of paper, so that once again, guests could enter to win one of several amazing door prizes!

Welcome to Dite's! Grab a cocktail, enter to win a novelty dildo or a beautiful set of daggers. Perfect for the last-minute Valentine's shopper!

And there was Lucifer, too, in a large grin and a red velvet suit. Where had he found that flute of champagne?

He'd probably brought it.

Honestly, that was a good trick. Irene ought to start turning up at events just already holding a glass of something.

"I love that I can always count on you not to be afraid of color," Irene noted with an answering grin, lifting her own cocktail in a salute.

"Well, it's a Valentine's party, feels a bit off-theme to wear black," Lucifer greeted, raising his glass in turn. "How's the sexy business treating you?"

"You say that, and yet," Irene noted tragically, because there were several people in black here. Including, actually, Lucifer's date, though Irene would give her a pass. "Sexy business has been all right, though it's about to slow down a bit. People need toys the year 'round, of course, but they're thinking about it now."

Lucifer sighed. "Quite sad, really," he said, "One would hope desire would be on people's minds all times of year."

He tilted his head. "We'll be happy to buy a tonne of toys off of you in the meantime, mind you."

"Your patronage is most appreciated," Irene told him with a grin and a slightly-exaggerated little flourished bow of her head. "And you know I can special-order anything you don't see here. I get the wholesale discount, all that."

Not that Lucifer -- much like Irene herself -- seemed like he needed a discount, but it was the principle.

"Oooooooooh," Lucifer said, brightening. "We should certainly look into that."

Hopefully Octavia wouldn't mind him saying as much to her... friend? They seemed friendly.

Irene would be honored if Octavia thought of her as a friend, even if Irene herself had a difficult time referring to other people that way, herself.

(Which honestly might have a lot to do with why she was friendly with Octavia.)

"I'll send you home with a catalog," Irene promised, winking.
