Title: Vern's ready to go!

"Shall we retreat to New Jersey, hit the road?  Anyone need a ride?" Joey asks,
at a safe distance from the fallen, knocked-down, tripped Bud, Roach, and
PeckFace.

"Great timin', Joey." Bells says, and adds, "Let's get outta here before these
three fools drown in that pool of beer.  Anyone tell Vern we're outta here?"

"Vern's warming up the bus.  We're ready to go, NOW.  Ok?"  Joey answsers.

Bell, urging Jane and Sis toward the door, around the fallen three,
"Yes, time to leave this vile, tawdry display of drunk macho-tomcat-foolery!"

Roach, on his knees, beer pitcher in hand, toasts, "We'll fahlla ya ANYwhere."
He takes a long draw off the pitcher and hands it to PeckFace who has regained
his feet.  "C'mon PeckFace," PeckFace pulls Roach to his feet with the other
hand and says, "You comin' Bud?"

Sis turns to Azi, gives him a long look. Frozen in time.  They embrace.  Their
aura is multicolored, limbate, hazey lemon yellow, red border, orange overlap.
Neon embrace.
