'Ah, hello, come through. Quinn and Cecil are talking in the front room.'

'Cool, thanks.'

'O-Oh, Indigo! Hello.'

'Hi, lovely to see you again.'

'Uh, hi. You too. Just wanted a quick chat. Nothing serious, but I wanted to run some shit by you and Richard.'

'Ah, okay. Come, sit down.'

'Thanks. Anyway, I've been thinking, I need to tell Abraxas some point soon that he's not having shit to do with the wedding. Knowing him, he's probably already been bragging about how he gets to make a speech to all his shitty mates. And having a narc supply cut off, he's gonna get pissy.'

'A "narc supply"? What's that?'

'"Narc" as in "narcissist". Basically means attention. Fuckers like Abraxas need attention like the rest of us need oxygen, and y'know what they say. Narcissists are the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral.'

'...Well thank God he isn't the bride.'

'Ah, I can imagine he won't be best pleased, then.'

'...Oh God, now I'm imagining him in a fucking wedding dress.'

'So... When are you telling him?'

'I'm not sure. I might just phone him up to say it, God knows I don't want to invite his grotesque ass back here. But anyway, I was thinking maybe to prevent a big baby meltdown, we ought to tell him that we're thinking of cohabiting or something. Say something to give the impression that we're going to be spending a lot more time in each other's company - and since we're fucking engaged, it's not like it's outta the question - and therefore it'll be harder for him to get me on my own to start making threats. Or at least away from you two.'

'...Yes, if it keeps you safer, I think it's a good idea. It doesn't really make a difference if you live here sooner rather than later, but... but are you okay with it?'

'Well we're gonna be living together one way or another, 'cause exactly like you say, it doesn't make a difference, so sure.'

'Well, it's not normally what I would encourage, but the situation is very... different.'

'Right, exactly. And the more things that make it difficult for Abraxas to throw his weight around, the better.'

'It sounds like a good solution. Then you two can get settled in and learn what it's like to live together.'

'Yeah, that's something I was thinking of too. And if Quinn can tolerate me first thing in the morning, then I guess that can only be a good sign.'

'Are you that bad?'

'Depends how much sleep I've had and how much coffee is available. Oh yeah, and I'll call up Heath soon as well, get to organise a demo for you to check out.'

'Oh, for the music? Excellent, I shall look forward to it.'

'I would like to listen too.'

'Okay. What d'you think about the idea of karaoke in the reception, too?'

'Um, that sounds fun.'

'Yes, I do agree.'

'Cool. Would be fun to cut loose and bang out a couple of songs.'

'I wonder if the mayor will sing.'

'Oh shit, that's a thought. Hey, we'll have to stock up on tomatoes if he does.'

'I just thought, are his children going?'

'Oh yeah, some of 'em are gonna be on the guest list. The adult ones, anyway. Saraya, Aria, and Ellis. Speaking of kids in general though, with him and Abraxas attending, maybe we oughta make it a childfree event.'

'I have no objection. What would the cutoff age be?'

'Maybe just keep it to legal adults. I was wondering about the idea of having an open bar, so if the minimum's eighteen, then that makes things easier. No worries about underage drinking or shit.'

'Ah, I see. Will an open bar be an issue for any of your guests?'

'Not that I know of. I'll ask around.'

'And they can all be trusted with alcohol on tap...?'

'...Well that would count as an issue, wouldn't it? So like I said, I'll check up on it.'

'I'm sure everyone will be on their best behaviour.'

'I do hope so.'
