Brraaaaaaawwwwwwww!

**Bunny** rides **Coldy’s** bike in from the ditch where **Juniper** ditched it, through the living room, up the stairs, while yelling “Where’s the brakes on this crazy thing?!”

and crashes into the bed.

Running downstairs, she waves money around and yells out, “Hey, I got $50 in singles! I heard **think** and **imapunha** were going to be doing some dancing!”

She brushes off from the last standing coffee table beer cans, shot glasses and various rolling papers onto the floor. “C’mon boys, let’s see ya shake it! Girls, anyone with me on this?”

:: pats **Astro’s** back as he pukes behind the couch again::

::runs out of other room::  
::drags AstroBoy back with her::

“Aw, &\*$%@ slip-knots. I knew I should have used a sheepshank. Sorry folks, carry on like nothing happened.”

::returns to living room, nails four pieces of wood around a section of vomit-splashed wall, signs AstroBoy’s name to the corner::

“God, I love modern art. In 5 years, he can sell this for a pretty penny. Maybe even a shiny dime!”

::returns to the bathroom::

“Forgot the mosquito repellant and the toothpaste. Anyone got any extra icing?”

\<Tygr wanders back in three days after the ambulance left with him\>

Geez, looks like the fun DID continue… Leave it to me to catch a tiny case of salmonella from the mystical contents of Coldy’s Tupperware.

\<cracks open a beer, determined to wash the taste of stomach pump out of his mouth\>

**Arden** , once you’ve finished tending to the wounded (only at a Doper party could somebody get second-degree latex burns), d’yer think you might have a moment to introduce me to this whole “Jello-tub” concept? I got distracted at the last party before I could adequately broaden my experience…

_blush_ Wow, really? \<Tygr files this nugget away for later use.\>

OK, then. Now, I believe that green Jello can stain fabric, so would it be better to risk discoloring my shorts? Or get into the spirit of things and go _alfresco_?

…and in consideration of that possibility, do I really have to make the joke about **Jester** needing to set up a wide angle shot?

Looking to you for guidance, **Arden** , I place myself in your hands.

So to speak. 😉

::Moans,groans,squeals of pleasure and thumping noises are heard from the ring. It grows quiet::  
Guys! Can someone throw me and Jeffy some beer, more whipped cream and some handcuffs?

Damn,woman…give me just five minutes here. Let me catch my breath!

Hey guys! Listen, I know that all the drinking and carousing is fun, but every once in a while, we’ve gotta stop and eat. Eat food. Real food. Real food that will sop up the beer in our tummies.

:::tosses oak tree on to living room floor:::

So here’s some kindling, and I’ve got hot dogs and 'smore fixins. Who’s up for a weenie roast?

**Tygr** , do you usually wear clothes in the tub?

Thought not.

Formal skin, please.

_peeks in for just a secomd_

Not that it matters much right now… (looks around) …but just don’t use cherry Jell-O. It stains the bathtub. If **Coldfire’s** renting, he’ll never get his deposit back.

Jell-o bathtubs require green jell-o. I think it’s the law.

Did anybody notice that I made jell-o shots? Raspberry is vodka, and the lime is tequila.

Can someone throw us some gatorade and some power bars? Jeff’s starting to slow down a little.  
Maybe someone could tag in and give him a rest?

**Hey! You can’t light that fire in the middle of the floor!!!**  
…there’s not enough kindling. Here, try this gallon of lighter fluid I found when I was rummaging through Coldy’s chemical stores.
