Apartment Above Luke's, Thursday Afternoon
Mar. 2nd, 2017 06:09 amKathy 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 contract. Kathy...wasn't sure what it said about the store or the island that it was considered a lucrative enough market for a number of stores to go to this much trouble.
But, she was determined to be a good manager and if that meant spending the afternoon trying a ridiculous amount of sexy candy to decide which she liked best, well, she was up to the task. As long as she took breaks for real food every few hours, she should be okay, right? And she had a pen and paper to record her observations (and had come up with several criteria to judge them on), making this all legit and aboveboard and not just an excuse to gorge out on penis-shaped candy all day.
So far, she'd noticed that the sour gummy boobs made the cut on her lip burn and the mold for one of the companies tended to make their chocolates look more like melted candles than anything sexy. Oh, and another company used cheap chocolate that tended to flake off which was just NOT attractive in something meant to simulate body parts. It was this kind of attention to detail that separated the good managers from the mediocre, see?
[Open! But probably slow as I'm still in training, so who knows what my schedule will be when this finally posts. Link to Anders' thread.]

"So what's new with you?" she asked, cracking open the bottle of vodka. "You up to anything exciting since break?"

Date: 2017-03-03 04:54 pm (UTC)She shook her head, biting off the nipple on a gummy breast. "So, that's going to take care of the soda? I mean, they won't be able to get a new succubus before the current stock runs out? There aren't other manufacturing plants to hit?"

Date: 2017-03-04 06:15 pm (UTC)"I figured as much," Kathy said, motioning for the bottle when he was done. "I'm volunteering anyway. And other people are going to do the same. You've got friends who care about you and want to help however they can."
