divinesurfchick.livejournal.comThings had been much simpler when she'd just zapped her inventory into being, but having employees had made her start ordering things and having to deal with vendors.
"No, I do NOT want a box of tentacle porn. I didn't like it, didn't order it, and I sure as heck don't want 25 copies every month!"
She glared at the box on her counter. "I don't care that other stores are buying it. I'm not buying it. Got it?"
Whatever the guy on the other end of the phone said, it couldn't have been good. Aphrodite stood straight, her eyes narrowing, her free hand crushing the cookie she'd gotten this morning at Jeff's.
"Listen, Mister Tentacles, I'm the goddess of love and there is no expression of real love that I have a problem with. Doesn't mean I'm going to sell it." She paused. "Yes. Yes, I really am the goddess of love. Really. Yes."
There was muted sarcasm and laughter from the other end of the line.
"Listen, you little cretin!" That *zapping* sound would have been the box of 25 magazines going up in a blaze. Possibly more, if the shocked yelps from the phone were any indication. "If you send me another box of magazines like this I'm going to make you a permanent part of one of them, got it? And you won't be the one with tentacles!" With that she slammed the phone down.
A wave of her hand and the burning box was gone, leaving behind the smell of burnt paper and a few drifting ashes that mixed with the remains of her cookie. Another wave and that was gone too.
Aphrodite dropped into her chair, grabbing a catalog on the way. Anything to get her mind off what had just happened. "Oh, look, pocket vibrators are all the rage. What a surprise."
Decadent Delights is open. Mind the angry goddess, and don't mention tentacles.
(OOC: Dite's expecting a party of four, but will be around for any other erotic needs. Anyone mentioning hentai or tentacles gets an automatic bewitchment of whatever they're holding at the time. Disclaimer: While elements from the BDE will occur, the actual plot to be played is separate.)
