A Little Drink

Away from the camp site was another clearing containing some tents set up as shops. Here you could purchase armour, costume items, batteries, food, sun cream and everything else you might need for a weekend of camping. There was also a large tent with a bar, which is where Emily, Onyx and Amber sat at a wooden picnic bench with their first drinks and a pizza on the table between them.

Emily was very aware of the stares the three girls attracted as they walked across the camp site toward the bar. There weren’t many girls here at all, and dressed as they were Emily realised they were causing quite the spectacle. She reminded herself that this is what it must be like to be a celebrity, and tried to enjoy the attention.

‘Yes, not many girls come to this kind of thing,’ mused Onyx. ‘Still, if you are into geeky guys you will have no shortage of willing cock this weekend!’

Emily nearly choked on her drink.

‘But if you prefer scuba diving there are still options,’ said Amber with a wink. Onyx laughed loudly. ‘What about last year, Katie and those other two in a daisy chain in that tent?’ Emily had no idea what was going on, but the other two clearly found this all very funny. Eventually the conversation returned to this weekend.

‘So,’ Onyx explained, ‘You can’t fight here in the trading area, or in the camp sites, but in the arena or the woods it’s a free for all. We’ll only really be involved in the main battles, and Ted will be with you when those are happening. If it gets hectic just ask him for help, he’s one of the good ones.’ Emily was pleased to hear this.

‘Have you been doing this for long?’ Emily asked the girls.

‘I did it last year,’ said Onyx. ‘They offered me Negana this year but I just don’t have the balls for something like that.’ Emily started to ask what she meant, but Amber had followed up before she had a chance. ‘Oh, I’ve done the last five, I think? It’s fun, and I’ve done a bunch of different roles. The evil team is always my favourite.’

‘Has Ted been with it all that time?’ Emily asked.

‘He has, he’s been doing it since it started I think. He really knows his stuff, and he is really sweet.’ Emily felt a pang of jealousy again at the thought of Amber and her Ted spending time together. She tried to tell herself to stop being silly.

‘Right then,’ said Onyx, ‘We have a busy day tomorrow, so the sensible thing would be to head back and get some sleep.’ Emily was a little disappointed to hear this, she was enjoying the evening. ‘But we are not sensible girls, are we? Especially you, Queen Negana, you dirty slut! My round!’

Emily knew she should really, of course, go and read her spell cards and be fresh for tomorrow, but it would be a shame to cut this evening short. She was enjoying the company of Onyx and Amber so much, they were lovely and funny, even if they did seem a little flirty with all the boys wandering past and staring at them.
