((As the title suggests, this is a backstory thread to the Watchsues/Repo plot, when everyone involved was younger and happier.))
The air was throbbing with the heat and energy of a few hundred happy people. Mag tapped the ground ahead of her with her cane to get a good bearing of where she was, but the loud music made it hard to get much of a sense of where anyone was in the room except Marni, whose arm Mag clung to with her free hand.

Marni smiled and held on to Mags arm as she help guide the women through the party "Oh it's lovely, Mag, I'm sure Rotti's around here, ah there he is! Rotti!"

Rotti had been busy chatting up a guest until he heard his fiancee's voice. He turned around and saw her coming toward him with another woman on her arm.
"Ah, is this the famous Mag you told me about?"

"That she is" she leaned forward and kissed Rotti's cheek with false grace "Mag, Rotti, Rotti Mag."

"It's very nice to meet you, sir," Mag said shyly, smiling even as her gray-green eyes stared blankly ahead.

Marni grinned at the two and brushed a lock of brown hair out of her face.

"Marni has told me a great deal about you. I understand you've quite the voice-"

Rotti smiled benevolently.
"So modest. And young, too..."
He reached forward to touch Mag's smooth cheek.

Mag flinched very slightly. She hadn't been expecting that part.
"Nineteen, sir."

He folded his hands.
"Young indeed! Why, you're only a few years older than my younger son. He's around here somewhere-"
Rotti glanced around.
"Pavi?"

By the punch bowl, a rather gawky boy of perhaps fifteen or so instinctively startled at the sound of his name being called, followed by a wince of utter dread.
He muttered something that came out as a little choked noise and practically skittered over, exuding so much anxiousness that it was hard not to feel uncomfortable just looking at him.

"There you are," said Rotti.
He seized his son by the shoulders and pulled him into the huddle.
"Mag, this is my son Paviche. Pavi, this is Marni's friend Mag..."

Pavi stared, and his expression went from slack-jawed astonishment to a brief flash of what almost looked like vicious hunger.
