Apartment Above Luke's, Thursday Afternoon

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy was sitting crosslegged in her living room, surrounded by a truly staggering number of anatomically-shaped lollipops, hard candies, and other confections. It turned out that the company that had supplied Dite's with chocolates and candy had gone out of business and multiple other companies had sent samples to the store in hopes of scoring the

Dante tilted his head at her with the cherry dickpop.

... still not quite feeling it. But the memories were nice.

"How much lube would the island use in a week?"

Kathy had given a half-thought to eating it suggestively but--no. Not quite that confident yet. Not even to tease and certainly not to entice.

"Oh, god, I don't even know that," she said, shaking her head. "I'd have to have a better idea of who was having sex and how much and there are just some things I don't want to know. I still think of most of the adults as my teachers."

"Listen to radio for five seconds and you know who's fucking who whether you like it or not," Dante retorted.

"I don't need to figure out how much lube they use while doing it," Kathy retorted, shoulders relaxing again after they'd tensed with the whole 'dad' thing.

[rebelseekspizza]

"You're gonna find out," Dante pointed out easily. "You're like, the only place to buy lube in town."

[spin_kick_snap]

"Yes, but as soon as they leave, I'm going to immediately stop thinking about it." Which...actually sparked an idea.

"You know what?" she asked, looking excited and reaching for her notebook. "I should start a monthly subscription service. Like, for X amount of dollars a month, I'll just send people a supply of safer sex items--condoms, lube, dental dams, all that stuff. They get a discreet delivery of supplies guaranteed every month all without having to come in! Dante, you're a genius!"

[rebelseekspizza]

"... I don't know about that, but sign me up," Dante said.

After a beat to process that weird shift, there.

[spin_kick_snap]

It made sense in her head! Sometimes her brain linked things and skipped over the interim steps to get there. Thought-tesseracting!

"Right? You could get all the basic sex supplies you need, but privately and without even needing to come in! All the supplies you need, delivered right to your door!"

[rebelseekspizza]

"Probably gonna have to ask some basic 'what do you need' up front," Dante said, after another pause. "No point giving dental dams to gay dudes or fleshlights to lesbians, right?"

[spin_kick_snap]

"Are fleshlights are basic sex supplies?" Kathy asked. Then slanted a grin at him. "And if some dudes have tits, some lesbians may need fleshlights."

Which didn't actually take away from his main point. "I think what I might do is have a checklist when people sign up for the service," she said, making more notes. "It can be adjusted at need, but a basic sheet of what you want, in what quantity, and how often. This way everybody gets what they want when they want it and nobody has to pay for what they don't."

[rebelseekspizza]

"Every time I think you can't make sex nerdier," Dante sighed, sagging back into his seat.

[spin_kick_snap]

"Stand in awe of my other superpower," Kathy said with a solemn nod.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Don't know if 'awe's the right word," Dante said and reached for his drink. "Do you at least get time for product testing?"

[spin_kick_snap]

"I'm going to say I do," Kathy decided. "Especially if I can then, like, write reviews to help influence other shoppers. I'm doing it for the customers."

[rebelseekspizza]

"Totally for no other reason at all," Dante agreed. "Maybe go back for second and third tests too, just to be sure."

[spin_kick_snap]

"The first time could be a fluke!" Kathy said, wide-eyed and innocent. "Three times is minimum, just to make sure that it's a reliable orgasm."
