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 was just back out of Limbo City. Hadn't exactly been able to score any kind of fruit full of booze, but he did have a bottle of mid-range vodka, so it evened out.

At least, that was his story and he was sticking with it.

He made his way to the apartment above Luke's after a quick pit-stop at home, bottle under his arm. And knocked.

"Come in!" Kathy called, lap full of candy necklaces. From far away, it was almost hard to tell that the candies were dirty, which amused her greatly. Now she had to taste the different varieties that they came in; she was both intrigued by and dubious of the "Exotic Fruit" one. "It's open!"

"All right," Dante called, a verbal shrug, and opened up the door, shouldering his way in. "Vodka delivery."

Welcome to Sexy Candy Hell, Dante. Or heaven. Really depended on which candy you tried.

"Hi!" Kathy said, glancing up to give him a smile. "My favorite kind of delivery!"

It was well into the evening before Anders' restless legs brought him to the diner -- and, once he'd acquired milkshakes, up the stairs to Kathy's apartment. He tapped lightly on the door.

It wasn't particularly late, but still late enough that Kathy answered the door in person, rather than just yelling for whomever it was to come in. She likely made for an interesting sight, with a fading bruise on one cheek and a cherry lollipop shaped like a pair of breasts tucked behind her ear and clearly forgotten about.

"Oh!" she said, surprised, when she opened the door and saw Anders standing on the other side of it. "Anders, hi!" She stepped aside to make room for him to enter if he wished. "Come in, come in! Uh, forgive the mess in the living room. I was doing inventory. Sort of. Come in!"

"Thanks," Anders said, giving her a slightly puzzled smile as he stepped inside. (Did the lollipop really look like breasts, or was his dirty mind getting him in trouble again?) "Inventory for what? It looks like a candy store exploded in here."

Give him a moment, and he'd notice the candy was slightly ... off.

"Pretty close to what happened," Kathy said with a laugh, closing the door behind him and heading back to her pile of candy. "The main company that supplies candies to Dite's isn't doing that anymore. So I've got samples from a bunch of other companies to pick up the slack."

Because...oh right!

"I'm the manager for Dite's now," she added. "Maybe should have led with that."
