Rejoin the party with Beth.

Me: “Let’s go rejoin the party. I think we’ll have more fun if we share and I wouldn’t mind seeing what everyone else is doing.”

Beth: “Ok, Alex. Let’s go.”

We head downstairs to the basement to see that everyone is naked. It appears either a lot of hands were played or they just decided to take it all off. I wonder though what they are doing now that everyone doesn’t have any clothes to bet. It’s then that Ashley sees us coming down the stairs.

Ashley: “Hey, Alex, we decided to just finish taking everything off and play high card instead. The new rules are that the person with the highest card gets to tell the person with the lowest card something to do, but it can’t involve the person with the highest card. If the highest card is tied then nothing happens, but if the lowest card is tied then everyone tied with the lowest card has to do what the highest card says. If for whatever reason the person holding the lowest card does not or can’t do the task then that person’s fate is decided by the group. We just played out first hand of the new game and your sister Holly won with an ace while Lilly lost with a 2.”

This could be interesting although it means there is also a higher risk of losing and having to do something I don’t want to do. Then what might happen if I refuse. I…

Ashley: “Earth to Alex. You seem to be gone, but what I was trying to say before you spaced out is that if you and Beth want to join the game then you need to strip. Otherwise, you and Beth can watch or go back upstairs. It may sound rude, but it’s only fair since everyone else is already nude that anyone joining the game also be nude.”

It does seem fair although also a little mean. Also, Beth seems to be looking at me to see what I do. I’m not sure but she also seems a little nervous about getting naked in front of everyone. Maybe if I’m brave then she will be too. Although, this is my last chance to change my mind and go back upstairs to have a little more fun with Beth alone. I don't know what I would miss down here though.
