Mari chooses a vibrator and a butt plug for Joy.

Marigold still didn't like looking 'Horny Harry' in the eye much, but he certainly liked the look of her. The proprietor of the sexy accessory (called 'acsexories' on a sign below the store banner) booth didn't take his eyes off of the blonde bombshell for even a second as she perused his wares.

She was at a loss for words. Nothing in the world could have convinced her this morning that this was how her day would end up. These kinds of toys were the purview of people far braver than Mari, and she had only seen their like on television or on one of her strange stumbles through the 'dark side' of the Internet all-too-late in the evening. But the clear signs above the toys made it clear exactly what they were to be used for. They read "DILDOS" "VIBRATORS" and "BUTT PLUGS". Each of the selections under the signs was delightfully bright, colorful, and shocking to the eye, but what drew her attention most were the butt plugs.

Marigold couldn't believe herself. She was a woman who had never in her life even approached the subject of her rear end in any context other than the bathroom, yet here she was, gawking at bulbous tools intended to go right up there like a child in a candy shop. She found herself blushing just looking at them. Ultimately, though, she decided on one of the butt plugs and a vibrator-- because somehow using a vibrator on her friend through a strange portal that she had received as a gift from some technological little people was 'more appropriate' than just a butt plug.

"Um," she squeaked, having to look Horny Harry in the eye for the first time. "Can I buy A7 and C12?" C12 was a light blue butt plug with a little snowflake design on the flared base. Somehow that seemed just right for Joy, as if 'theming' the sex toys to Marigold's unknowing partner made it better. But it seemed like something that Joy would like, and the A7 vibrator was one that looked simple and easy to use, so that was what she had decided upon.

"That'll be a hundred and forty dollars, gorgeous," Harry said, smiling far too widely as he packed the plug and the vibrator in a discreet little gray bag.

Marigold patted herself down, looking for her purse.
