A Series Of Disturbingly Interrelated Events

Bunny and Lavender wander down to the beach where Arthur is sitting on the rocks with Ouvert, staring out at the Wallaroo Jetty.

Hi, Arthur, says Bunny. Isn't it peaceful.

That's one way to describe it, says Arthur.

What's another? asks Bunny, sitting down.

Lame, says Arthur. There's nothing to do.

Violetta's got something to do, says Lavender. She's planning her shit.

Shit! says Ouvert. That's disgusting.

You're so silly, says Lavender. Violetta is working. She's going to spray cuttlefish everywhere.

Not on the jetty, says Arthur. It's closed.

That won't stop Violetta, says Bunny. She's probably out there right now.

..........

Violetta is not on the jetty. Instead she is checking out walls.

There are plenty of spaces for cuttlefish.

She sorts out her aerosol cans. Green, purple, silver, black and brown.

........

Baby Pierre arrives at the jetty. It is where he has arranged to meet Ageless.

There is a yellow sign on the jetty. CLOSED DUE TO VANDALISM.

It is not a good sign.

.........

Gaius and Victor are at the police station. Victor has invited him to tea.

Victor opens the fridge, to see what is in it.

He takes out a box.

Let's see what this is, says Victor.  Let's hope it's something to eat.

Perhaps you shouldn't, says Gaius. It says CONFISCATED GOODS on the side.

Oh don't let that bother you, says Victor. It's just harmless fun.

He opens the box, and immediately shuts it again.

What is it? says Gaius. Ha ha! Not dead cuttlefish?

Victor turns red.

Never mind that, says Victor. How about you and I eating out?
