The old Chapter 1 was a bit narrative heavy so I came to the conclusion that it needed some dialogue to perk it up. The trouble is the opening scene was a single character getting ready for his friends to arrive for the esbat. However the saving grace was a reported phone call that he later describes. So this is what I’ve added.
“Hello?”
“…”
“Oh hi Geoff, how’s things?”
“… …”
“Uh huh.”
“… … … … …”
“Uh huh.”

“Indians? What, with war paint and all that?”
“… … … … …”
“Uh huh.”
“… … … … …”
“Chain Mart! You mean the little everything-shop where you buy your beer?”
“… … … … …”
“Uh huh.”

“Are you stoned?”
