congratulations, i hope the shindig vwill be super groovwy and not boring.
you knowv if you like, i could totally arrange some music for the vwhole thing...

[Murdoc don't agree, don't agree at all, do anything but agree to this for the sake of your wedding...]

[wwistful]

Thanks.
I suppose that depends on what your idea of boring is.

Will it be appropriate for a wedding?

[greaselightning]

vwell, if its too formal and too serious, thats a little boring and stiff, dont you think? youre getting married, you should totally be happy and livwely, party it up some. its a cause of celebration, you dig?

vwell that depends, vwhat kind of music are you looking for for your vwedding? or vwhat do YOU find appropriate?

[wwistful]

No, I don't dig. Weddings are all about formality, partying is for afterward when people have steadily drunk themselves into incoherency.

I don't know, I don't listen to music. Something with violins, perhaps?

It doesn't matter anyway because everybody is going to be thinking about how stupid I look and not paying attention to the ceremony.

[The last line is furiously struck out.]

[greaselightning]

vwedding dont havwe to be about being dovwwnright bored to death. but fair enough, the after party vwill make up for your staleness.

vwiolins? you vwould like something so antediluvwian vwouldnt you? i GUESS i could vwork something out vwith that, if you really vwant some vwiolins.

also, i sawv that. i doubt youll look stupid, dad, youll be the most attractivwe cat there in all your confidence and moxie, all the kittens vwill be upset that they arent the one youre marrying.

Given that the majority of guests will be over fifty and the High Inquisitor intends on attending, I can't imagine it will fit your standards of fun. But you will be there and you will behave.

Should I really be trusting you with this? Remember what I said. Over fifty, High Inquisior, not your standards of fun. Understand?

Thank you, Cronus. I appreciate it.

[And you aren't entirely wrong about that, too.]

[greaselightning]

jeepers, seriously? i guess i shouldnt be surprised, this place is snoozevwile vwith all these old fellas, my only salvwation is the student body, i svwear.

but you got a point, though less not havwing trust in me, than lack of faith in the taste of your attendees tovwards something actually good. fine, i offered, i did the good son thing to do, but i dont think i can lovwer my standard of music so much for your geezery guests liking.

hey pops, no problem. not saying anything that isnt short of the truth.

[YEP. But he has no idea how spot on he was, whoops.]

[wwistful]

Did you expect any less? It's a school, not a pub. You need to have a fair amount of life experience to teach.

I never said I didn't trust you, I was only warning you, and it would seem I am correct in doing so. I suppose I will find some other way to fill the void you've left in my special day, probably some other elderly violin playing wizard.

I'll take your word for it.

[greaselightning]

hey youre not a livwing relic and youre a teacher, im not exactly seeing your point here.

alright, fine, it vwas a vwarning, fair enough as it is, its still a damn shame that you knowv so many people vwith shitty taste. i guess its fitting in a vway, but still, howv completely disappointing. nowv that vwoid vwill be filled vwith mediocre vwiolin playing.

You're nothing but compliments today, aren't you?

I would say most of the teachers under fifty are a special exception. When I attended school all of my professors were a hundred and hated everything.

If you could promise to play something tasteful it could be you playing, so you've no right to whine about it.
