he was being made to deliver stuff to tina all the time. if it wasn't rita sending him, it was persephone. it was driving him mad and yet here he was delivering another round of packages.

"knock knock, postman pat here...again. persephone sends cookies and some other stuff"

"that hint's that i'm not getting the nintendo" this sucked. who looked at him and thought that he should be invited to a wedding? "consider it added to the list. no, my safe word isn't nintendo, but thanks for the sass" some people could argue that being this close with your roommate was not an ideal set up but it worked for them both. rita treated him like he wasn't some idiot who was the less intelligent or less cooler patterson. he had no pressure to be a patterson, an extension of the bodaway family name, he got to be just patrick. he let out a laugh and gave a wave of his hands "you really know how to make a guy feel like the prettiest person at the party"

"do it and find out," she countered, fighting off a smile before rolling her eyes. "you can add it to the list of things to look forward to after today, then. just don't tell me your safe word is 'nintendo' too." rita could match patrick line for line at this point. they'd lived together for a long time now, and truth be told, he might have been the only person she could be totally comfortable with. there weren't many places to hide when she shared a sofa, you know? "i guess," she grinned, satisfied they'd come to a compromise. she looked up at him, letting out a little laugh before settling on an easy smile. "thank you, you look beautiful too."

he wasn't great at the whole social interaction thing, and he had learned quickly that today was going to be all about interactions. he hated it.

"if the entertainment was thought about as much as this ceremony then i think we'll be good." he said, looking around to see if he could spot any of said entertainment. "they're too long and too stuffy. i gotta wear this suit and tie and all that" he huffed "no, i'm here with my roommate, rita. my family are here as well but i'm here really because rita asked me to come and she's figured out that i can't say no to her. ehat about yourself?"

That was a fair point; the couple seemed to know a lot of people. Still, from some of the conversations she'd had, it seemed as though very few of them actually knew the couple on a deep level. Just an interesting observation she'd made thus far.

"I suppose if I had to pick, I'd say I was here for the bride, but I guess I'm like many of the others here; in attendance for both, not really one over the other. But yes, weddings can be very long. Hopefully the entertainment will be good, that can help pass the time." She paused a moment, before asking a second question. "Are you here by yourself?"

[patrickpattersxn]

"the nintendo" he answered, finishing her sentence like it was a completely normal thing to discuss at a wedding. "both of them sort of know everyone one way or another so i guess most guests are here for both sides"

"i know them from the bar and through other people that are closer with them but i wouldn't say i'm in their inner circle. weddings are fine, i find them long-winded but they're fine. are you the bride or grooms side?"

"For the—" Abby looked puzzled for a moment, but decided it was better to just not ask. "Well, I suppose it doesn't really matter. I was just curious. You know, as to who was expecting more guests."

At the mention of parents, she tilted her head. "Really? Huh..." Sure, there were no age limits to friendships, but that did surprise her. "So do you not know the couple personally, yourself? Or do weddings just not interest you?"

"if i say half an hour will i get the nintendo?" he asked, wondering if it was worth chancing his luck. "light choking is still choking and i'm open to that in a safer environment." he went on while rita fixed his tie, completely ignoring anyone watching on and picking up on their conversation. patrick perked up at the promise of the nintendo "fine, fine, the ceremony takes priority i guess." he reluctantly agreed and leaned in closer, fidgeting with the bottom of his tie "you look beautiful by the way"

"we've been here less than a half hour, what exactly is the shelf life on your best behaviour? oh, please. this tie is very gentle. if anything, it's a light choking-," she said, finishing her work with his least favourite accessory. rita made a point of avoiding eye contact with the raised eyebrows that had walked by their conversation at that exact moment. "you look good. but fine, you get through the 'i do's' and i'll swap you the nintendo for the tie. i'll even find you an exclusive, secluded, spot for the rest of the night on this fuckin' day."

THE PITT 1.15 “9:00 P.M.”

[patrickpattersxn]

patrick wasn't one for events like these but he was lured under promises of food and nintento, both of which were being held hostage from him thanks to rita. he stood in the crowd fidgeting with his tie while he looked around for said nintento hostage holder.

"for the nintendo...but i guess the brides side? both sides? my roommate is close with the bride and my dad and stepmom are friends with the groom"

Socializing with strangers was one of Abby's specialties. She was an extrovert, and never minded mingling. This, was a dream for her. As she walked around, admiring the decorations and watching the people, she was making her way through the crowd, hopping to spark some conversation. “So who are you here for? Bride or groom?"

"wha- not fair, i was promised the nintendo if i was good" he huffed. the nintendo was his saving grace "i can't help it, you've got this tie trying to choke me out." he stopped fussing over the material and let rita work her magic "so now i've got to wear this bullshit tie and not have the nintendo until later? this fuckin' day"

"you didn't laugh at my innuendo so no nintendo," she countered with a grin before rolling her eyes (affectionately). "hey, quit messing with that-," she started, holding the hand that was hacking at his tie before loosening it a little herself- "you can have it after the ceremony."

[patrickpattersxn]

"i don't know...i guess. i've not been to many weddings." patrick answered while he tried to loosen the knot in his tie "can i get the nintendo now?"

"Everything looks stunning, doesn't it?" Rita paused, looking over at them with a grin- "Everything." @happieststarters

"yeah and it will continue to do so. what's wrong with some paper and a pen? a landline phone? it's too much, pax. i hate it. i hate this stupid phone"

"everything about technology pisses you off, patrick. you're like an eighty year old guy in a twenty eight year olds body"

"yes ma'am, no scaring old people. you got it." he said with a salute to jessie. "what about old people scaring me? is that allowed? because mrs hasagawa scares me all the time. she snapped her dentures at me the other day"

jessie looked to see if the old man would accept patricks apology and lucky for him, he did. she gave a nod to the man and let him carry on with his day "you did good, patrick. maybe next time don't go startling old people?"

[patrickpattersxn]

"because the little buttons fucking piss me off" he grumbled "and they never do what i want them to do, they make a mockery of me, paxton. a mockery!!"

paxton let out a sigh at his brother once again screaming at his phone. he did try not to laugh when siri was making an ass out of patrick but that was hard. "why don't you just text rita instead of calling home?"

he whipped round on the spot to see his brother "well tell this thing to work, it's making a mockery of me!" he hissed at the rectangle in his hand, stabbing his finger onto the screen "call home!" he yelled at the phone for siri to answer him - calling dom. "not fucking dom! not funny!"

seeing his brother in the street screaming at a phone is something that paxton was long used to by now, but it didn't make it any less weird. "patrick" he called out "patrick, will you stop shouting at your phone?! have you lost the plot?"
