[As promised, Taako had gotten in touch with Molly a couple days after their initial meeting, with a request to meet him at a cafe downtown. The reason for the cafe is mostly just a front, because Taako wasn't sure how savvy Molly would get with the internet in those interim days and didn't want to risk him googling the location and spoiling the surprise.
So - after hellos and acquiring caffeine, Taako leads Molly right across the street to a black, unmarked door.]
I promise I'm not about to lead you to be murdered or something.
[Reassuring!! But he still pushes open the door to the interior and there's the faint sound of a bell, indicating that this is, in fact, a store. It's an upmarket adult store, rather than something with too much neon and seedy magazines, because he wanted to make sure Molly gets a good first impression of exactly what the Quarantine has to offer.]
[ Molly had tried coffee before. It had been damn expensive but it had been a treat of something exotic and unusual, and he would never say no to a new thing. It had been damn bitter, though.
This? This was not only sweeter but a lot cheaper, so the tiefling is happily caffeinated and just ready for this shit. He had spoken to Taako once and he already knew this was going to be wild. ]
It wouldn't be the first time.
[ He admits with a little shrug as they enter the shady-looking building.
Then he takes in where Taako has brought him, and his face slowly splits into a fully-fanged grin of joy.]
What is this?
[ A store of erotic objects. This was the best damn thing he had seen in his entire short life. ]
You do not disappoint when it comes to experiences!
[Taako chuckles to himself at Molly's reaction, absolutely pleased with himself.]
First holiday that was going on when I arrived was a sex based one and they had a whole market for this shit and I remember being fucking blown away. Thought I'd pass on the favor.
[ Molly's already moving from display to display like a flitting bird, amused as he watches all the things offered. This was far beyond anything he had even heard of, and he pauses in front of a very realistic toy with a slightly confused look. ]
[Taako follows along at a more sedate pace considering he's seen most of this before and isn't shopping right now.
When one of the sales assistants looks over he gently waves her away, they can handle themselves for now.]
Gods, no, but that'd be something. It's called silicone, I dunno what exactly it's made of but you like - make molds and then pour this stuff in. Once it sets you've got yourself a pretty realistic dick, or whatever you wanna make.
[ He just has to touch it after Taako says that, and it is... an impressively realistic feeling, too. It just lacks the warmth.
There was so much to look at, but Molly is a little entranced by the plastic peninses, as to him they were the most eye catching of all the things in this section.
He balks a bit at one that looks like it was the size of his whole lower leg, though. ]
If you do not have giants here, that looks like a torture device rather than fun.
[ It was also flared out at the tip and he cocks (ha) his head to the side, just trying to figure out how that fit anywhere. ]
[He honestly has no idea if it's modelled off anything real, though all things considered it wouldn't surprise him if it would.
As for Molly's question, Taako just leads him over to the bondage section of the store.]
Manacles is a bit old fashioned but you've got handcuffs and spreader bars and tape and all that shit. And ropes! There's this thing called Shibari that's a fucking art, I bet you'd love it.
[Just from an aesthetic perspective. He'll let Molly browse while he looks up some examples on his phone.]
[ Damn, he's dying to show Jester all this stuff. She would have a blast, he's certain of it.
Molly curiously follows Taako, looking over all the new things in this section. There were all kinds of restraints offered, from what he would call manacles all the way to little flimsy chain things that wouldn't hold anyone. Damn pretty, though.
All of it was made in a very nicely crafted metal, and he's honestly blown away by whatever blacksmith created these. Picking up a pair of average handcuffs, he's pleased to see that the edges were rounded for a softer hold.
[All the sex jokes aside, it's kind of nice to be able to introduce people to the different things available in the Quarantine, especially if it's so far off from what they're used to.
Google search complete, he offers out his phone for Molly to look.]
This is some super intense rope bondage stuff, you gotta be real careful about it but if it's your thing I know some people who know some people.
[ He looks at the offered phone, finding the pictures of people tied up in gorgeous patterns that Taako searched for him. It is very aesthetically pleasing, and he has to chuckle slightly has he sees a few pieces made in red rope that looked similar to what Fjord wore around his arms and waist. ]
That's lovely.
[ Naturally he wants to try it one day, but Molly does not do immobilizing with people he didn't know. Being trapped could be dangerous really, really fast. ]
I wish I could take my cleric friend here, I think she would love it.
[ Jester was many things, but not an innocent little flower. ]
The rest of the party might spontaneously combust, though.
[ Definitely Caleb. Who knew about Fjord? Nott would probably be squicked out. Beau, too. Yasha was more used to his shenanigans, but she might draw the line at something like this. ]
Do they have things for the ladies? Other than the impressive dick collection.
[ Naturally the tiefling follows, still so curious about this place and everything it had to offer. There are small things here, of all kinds of shapes and colors - although most looked like little odd fingers.
The thing Taako gives him is gently brushed over with the pad of his thumb, but then the elf turns it on and Molly nearly drops it in surprise. ]
[That makes him laugh, although it's partly from the memory of Cisco and his little bit at the first kink festival they went to.]
Nope, it's electricity, the same shit that powers your phone and the lights and all that. These are called vibrators, some of the dick shaped things do that too.
[Oh my god, he has to cover his mouth to stop from laughing too hard.]
No it's-- close your hand around it, it's more subtle than it seems but uh, it's pretty good.
[Listen, he's fine at talking about this stuff in the abstract but it's Different actually talking about his own experiences with a relative stranger.]
[ Molly chuckles, realized he hasn't laughed this much in quite a while. He's been too busy trying to figure out how to be alone, and all the strange pain that came with that.
This was just silly enough to take his mind off it. Apparently what he needed was looking at weird sex toys with an elf he barely knew. ]
What are aphros? Like aphrodisiacs? Food and such?
[Taako already broke Molly once, he doesn't need to do it again.]
That's the ones, but not like the bullshit that people sell that does not actually work, most of 'em here are legit. There's one that comes in a powder form that's very good, they break it out at parties, but there's plenty of other shit too.
It's not like fuck-or-die shit, it just kinda makes you buzzed and horny and everything feels extra good, no worse than booze.
[Which still like, valid if Molly doesn't want to mess with that, but he doesn't want to give a bad impression, since most people in the Quarantine are very good about consent stuff.]
[ That does take out the tension in his spine, and Molly nods - mollified. ]
Alright, that sounds like more my thing. I had some mushrooms not too long ago, it was enough to make me see floating fish. Something lighter than that would be wonderful.
If you're just chilling with us you don't gotta pay, it's cool. We do trades half the time anyway for the stuff, turns out dudes who grow weed are suckers for baked goods.
Oh, and here I thought nudity always worked. I'm rather certain one of my friends would react the same, though, so I feel your pain.
[ Whether or not Beau is a lesbian isn't his business, but he doubts she wants to see his dick when he's not cosplaying the worst venereal disease in all of Exandria. ]
[ He had never done a boring thing while naked, so Molly approves of this 100%. You just found fun shit to do wit your ass hanging out. ]
Some people just cannot appreciate art. It's their loss.
[ Moving towards the last corner of the store, the tiefling makes a surprised and pleased noise to see some claw covers. Two of his own were cut and filed down, but this? This was perfect. ]

[Just the most casual question as he takes a sip of his coffee. It's certainly not his particular thing but hey, some people are in to it.]
no subject
We certainly do, although it isn't my thing.
[ He'll try everything once, okay? When in doubt, say yes. ]
Do they have manacles?
no subject
[He honestly has no idea if it's modelled off anything real, though all things considered it wouldn't surprise him if it would.

It's like artwork.
no subject
[He's going to be getting interesting advertisements for a little while now, but that's fine.]
Otherwise you've got your regular kinda stuff, most of 'em are just clasps or whatever, not actual locks.
[He gets it.]
no subject

no subject
[At the question, Taako heads over to another wall, gesturing Molly over.
He picks up a device that's almost leaf-shaped, though with an obvious nub on one service.]
Hold out your hand.
[Once the device is in Molly's hand, Taako uses the remote to turn it on. Welcome to the world of vibrators.]
no subject
The thing Taako gives him is gently brushed over with the pad of his thumb, but then the elf turns it on and Molly nearly drops it in surprise. ]
Are there bees in there?
no subject
Nope, it's electricity, the same shit that powers your phone and the lights and all that. These are called vibrators, some of the dick shaped things do that too.
[Just in case Molly is interested ]
no subject
Then Taako mentions that some of the dicks have this trait as well, and he has to chuckle at that. ]
Wouldn't that be like sex with someone while they're having a fit?
no subject
No it's-- close your hand around it, it's more subtle than it seems but uh, it's pretty good.
[Listen, he's fine at talking about this stuff in the abstract but it's Different actually talking about his own experiences with a relative stranger.]
no subject
This is bloody amazing.
[ Handing it back to Taako, he shakes his head a bit. ]
I don't think it's for me, though. I'd get motion sickness or something.
no subject
I won't even show you the vibrating cock rings, then.
[Since those might be a bit next level.]
What're your feelings on aphros, cause they got a whole variety here?
no subject
[ Molly chuckles, realized he hasn't laughed this much in quite a while. He's been too busy trying to figure out how to be alone, and all the strange pain that came with that.

While I do enjoy some good drug-based experiences, I wouldn't mix that with sex. It could be taken advantage of.
[ Consent is important, casually affectionate personality aside. ]
no subject
[Which still like, valid if Molly doesn't want to mess with that, but he doesn't want to give a bad impression, since most people in the Quarantine are very good about consent stuff.]
no subject
Alright, that sounds like more my thing. I had some mushrooms not too long ago, it was enough to make me see floating fish. Something lighter than that would be wonderful.
no subject
[Psychedelics can be a little much sometimes, they're better saved for a special occasion.]
no subject
[ Getting stoned would be so much better than dangerous shrooms that seriously messed him and Beau up the next day. ]
When I get myself some money, I will definitely be interested.
no subject
[What a shock, really.]
no subject
[ Is he flirting? Is he being a little shit? Who the fuck knows. ]
no subject
You gotta warn me if you're gonna take clothes off, I often have a lesbian in the house and she'd kill me.
[Taako please.]
no subject
Oh, and here I thought nudity always worked. I'm rather certain one of my friends would react the same, though, so I feel your pain.
[ Whether or not Beau is a lesbian isn't his business, but he doubts she wants to see his dick when he's not cosplaying the worst venereal disease in all of Exandria. ]
no subject
[Halfway between teasing and the legit truth because nudity is a pretty good bargaining chip in the right circumstances.]
You'd think eventually she'd stop caring after seeing me naked like a dozen times, but I guess that's just how it is.
[Look. Things happened on the Starblaster. Sometimes nudity was unavoidable.]
no subject
Some people just cannot appreciate art. It's their loss.
[ Moving towards the last corner of the store, the tiefling makes a surprised and pleased noise to see some claw covers. Two of his own were cut and filed down, but this? This was perfect. ]
I adore this place.
no subject
[Both things are good things.]
You gotta cater to all types, you know?
no subject
[ Insert that meme here. ]
Ah, yes. It's surprisingly nice to see that they understand the problems of the more diverse clientele.
no subject
Considering some of the shit I've seen here, helping out whatever folks have claws is like, the easiest problem to solve.
no subject
[ Molly chuckles a little, tail swishing with glee. ]
It's good to see that this place is worth my time.
no subject
[At least he's an elf, not a fairy, so there's probably not anything super dangerous about owing him a debt. Maybe.]
Bullshit aside, some of it's not too bad.
no subject
I admit it is growing on me, so I'll forgive it for stealing me from everyone I know.
[ He doesn't. ]
