After Saturn V and Gemini were separated from (their fight with) Soyuz and Acapella and while Leap Frog was taken off to the bathroom by Pac Man to wash the blood off her Prada onesie things calmed down a little but it was that kind of calm that always has potential to go absolutely apeshit again at any moment. No one knew what to do really. It was just too hot with all the GLOBAL WARMING OBVIOUSLY BUT NO ONE LIKED TO SAY THAT it was like a Elephant in the room. Pin Stripe, Tabernacle and Greenfingers started an ‘important conversation about morality’ © or mortality © but they were slurring their words so much no one knew which for sure and in any case when Vulva joined in she just kicked into a big rant about divorce in Northern Ireland, no one understood why, so few of them had even been there for yrs it was hard to see why it was suddenly such a big topic. Apollo 12 meanwhile started chasing some of the younger Gods around insisting they wrestle him etc but Rent-a-Gob, Michelle, Chlamydia, Vostok and Zombie were not really interested in that or in any of his stupid antics they were much more intrigued with what Magpie, Catnip, Clymenestra, Stormzy, Thumper & Co were getting up to in bushes at the other end of the terrace/garden.

Regardless the general feeling that the booze wasn’t really helping, some people – in particular Thor, Miss Eliot, Plankton and the brothers Truffle and Mr Plastic– were still going round topping up people’s drinks with whatever was left on the kitchen counter, not really paying any attention to who was previously drinking what, instead just emptying alcopops, Slivovice, Red Stripe, homebrew and horrible supermarket Merlot into people’s glasses at random when they weren’t looking and also helping Coco Channel (sic) and Lemmy to pass round a very large amount of weed and Xannies they had scored from some kids on a nearby estate. The weed was hydroponic and much stronger than most of them could really handle to be fair but that did not seem to deter anyone. Before long Sinthia, Bar B and Spring Heel were all of them so out of it, like hilarious, the former bent double being sick everywhere, the latter crouching to hold her hair up/out the way so the puke didn’t get in it and the middle one (Bar B) just looking on the hole scene in like a weird impassive kind of way.
