Summer Camp

Smiling at Marc’s frankness Tom went over to a nearby desk and from a drawer pulled out a sheath of paperwork, reading directly from it this was the proposed structure:

Head of Department – Dave
Senior Lecturer – Neil
Practitioner/Lecturer x 2 – Joseph & Marc
Assistant Lecturer/Model x 2 – Ethan & Tang
Publicity/Videography – Callum

Salaries would be highly competitive and comparable with other departments, the exact figures still had to be agreed with the board of directors but it will certainly be more than what you are on now. We have attempted to match the roles to the individual’s natural and demonstrated abilities. There’s no need to say anything or make any decisions yet, you will be given the official paperwork and job descriptions on your return to work at the University. So until then let’s have a coffee and discuss the video’s content critically. We genuinely want to hear your comments and critical feedback/suggestions are vital if this is going to be an inclusive and successful venture.

My head was reeling from all the possibilities that lay before me and it took immense mental effort to focus on the task at hand. But focus I did and before long I was actively participating in the group discussion and by the time we re-ran the video I was able to ignore the fact that it was our bodies we were watching and give a constructive critique. By lunchtime a consensus had been reached for improvements to be made to the promotional video and other subjects that could be included within the course.

Just as we were wrapping up the meeting Tom turned towards me and congratulated me on my lateral thinking and being able to seize an opportunity when it presented itself. Puzzled I asked him to elaborate. He went on to say that Toby had been to see him expressing the keen desire to be anally trained to the same level of ability as Jo (me) had so capably demonstrated during the hike around the estate. With this meeting in mind Tom had seen the opportunity to create the first training class for the new department, perhaps using Toby’s keenness to learn we could use him to identify other willing potential students. The majority of students will be off site tomorrow so the new gym and extra facilities will be available for our private use, should you be willing to participate. So guys are you up to the challenge? Dave asked. Consider this as on the job training. A very interesting proposition we all agreed, clearly the first step will be to identify the potential students, assess them and arrange a timetable for the lessons. Tom seemed happy with our decision and told us to leave it with him, he would speak to Toby and the students identified, in the meantime we were released to go for lunch, watch the second half of the sports tournament and wait for further instructions.

As we left the conference room and headed back towards the dining hall I could hear the shouts and cheers from the students as the football knockout matches started. In the hall packed lunches had been laid out for us by the kitchen staff, they had done us proud. Loads of delicious wholesome food and fresh fruit juice, a nutritionist’s model meal in fact, suitable for medical and sport students alike. Taking a lunchbox each we walked outside and headed for the football pitches where the games were now in full swing. Douglas saw us and waved, inviting us to join him and Ross as they had chosen good a vantage point to watch the players in all their glory. Sitting next to Marc I nudged him and nodded towards the players. I said whoever designed the football kit should be awarded a medal. He agreed with a lewd grin. Whilst not being skimpy they were quite revealing due to being made of silk which clung to every contour when the player was moving, there was more than one type of tackle on display. Talking to Ross I gathered that the tennis matches had all been completed while we were in our meeting and that he expected the football to last for a couple of hours before the swimming and 1500m races were run. I spotted Tom and Dave approaching animatedly discussing something, curious I asked what us up. Oh, nothing for you to worry about, simply a difference on opinion on suitable candidates for our new course. How is the selection going? I asked. Tom replied that since our meeting he’d spoken to Toby, giving him the task of finding eleven other guys who would be suitable and keen to take part in the taster course being run tomorrow and the following day. Toby was very keen to take part in the course and was sure that he’d be able to find enough participants by the end of this afternoon. Dave and I were simply having bets on who would volunteer. Clearly they weren’t going to be drawn on the subject so I let the matter drop and we returned our attention to the football match being played out. Half way through the matches Callum made noises about being restless and wanting to do something else more stimulating but was told that everyone was expected to support all of the students playing in the tournament. To leave early would have a detrimental effect and lead to accusations of favouritism from some of the teams. That was the end of the matter apparently, Callum got the message and did the best he could to appear enthusiastic for the rest of the afternoon.

To be honest it did get repetitive, even something as enjoyable as watching men’s cocks swinging in shorts can wear thin after a while and I was relieved when the football matches were over and a clear winning team was announced. Then as one big mass we trouped down to the lake where the swimming heats were to be held, six lanes had been marked out and it was to be a relay race between the teams. One of the wise guys (ok, a jock would be more accurate a description) asked about swimming costumes. Ross laughed at him and in the deepest macho voice answered, costumes are for wimps. We’re all men here, just swim buck naked as Mother Nature intended, the relay baton will be one of your team’s shirts. Each team has a different colour so it should be easy enough to tell your team mates apart. There were groans of protest from a couple of the more straight laced guys but the majority took the hint and the good humour on face value. I enjoyed the next few minutes watching the sixty guys reform into their groups and then jostle for order of swimming before stripping off their football gear and doing their best to look cool while naked in front of their peers. Thinking about Tom’s earlier comments I tried to study them to see who looked most comfortable standing around naked and who was taking sneaky or even quite open looks at each other’s bodies. I was beginning to draw up a shortlist when the swimming heat began and my studies went to pot because it became very chaotic what with all the shouting, water splashing and general commotion but it was a pleasure to watch and I only wished I had a camera or video with me so that I could watch it time and time again! Before long the swimming was over and again a winning team was announced. Then it was on to the 1500m race once the guys had got their breath back and this time were allowed to put their football gear back on to do their run. Most chose to run in shorts and footwear only as the sun had been shining all day and it had got very hot.

While the race was being run the castle and University staff were rounded up and we formed a welcome committee back in the castle courtyard where the race would finish and the winning (and losing) teams would be announced. A podium had been set up ready for the speeches. There was an air of expectancy as we waited for the first runners to arrive, finally they came flying round the corner red faced, sweating profusely with chests heaving. Once every runner had arrived and recovered Douglas stepped onto the podium and spoke into the mike announcing the overall winning team much to the whooping delight of that group and groans of the other groups. Then the four runner up groups were announced one by one leaving the one losing team to be tasked with organising the grand barbecue. There was much hilarity at the expense of the losing team, which interestingly included Toby as one of their members, I wondered if this was deliberate or coincidental. Tom dismissed the winning teams telling them they had an hour in which to wash and prepare for their two day trip to Edinburgh, the coach would be leaving on time and any late comers would be left behind, they had been warned. Within seconds the students had vanished into the castle to get ready for their much fought over prize. As the last of the winning teams disappeared Tom beckoned Toby over and asked if he had completed the task set for him. Yes sir! came the enthusiastic reply, would you like the list now? No that’s fine as long as you have it that’s all that matters, now what I want you to do is go and tell your list members to meet us in the conference room half an hour after the coach has left and not before, is that understood? Yes Toby replied before rejoining his group who then too disappeared into the castle. Well gentleman, our plans are coming along very nicely so far.

Tom indicated that we were to follow him up to the dormitory where we could shower, freshen up and be briefed by him on tonight’s activities. While the six of us took turns to have a shower and shave Tom told us that tonight he would begin the volunteers training. We were all to play dominant characters so there was no need to be cleaned out tonight but we were required to wear the University’s uniform to reinforce the message. Time flew past, well ten minutes per person quickly passes especially when you’re chatting at the same time, and before I knew it we were racing out of the dormitory, down the stairs to wave off the coach full of students lead by Ross before heading over to the conference room to prepare it for our volunteers who would be arriving in half an hour.

We shifted the room around so that the sofas and arm chairs were arranged in an arc either side of the TV monitor opposite two rows of six chairs to make it appear more formal and again reinforce our authority. A large jug of water with glasses were placed on a nearby table, it was very likely that there would be more than one nervous student. Just as we were putting the last finishing touches to the room there was a knock on the door. Leaving an appropriate pause Tom finally called out “come in!” and in filed twelve nervous looking students.

Toby led the way and flashed me a quick smile as he sat down on a chair, the other eleven followed his lead. To start off with Tom formally introduced each of us staff members (although they already knew us by and large) and then to break the ice got each student to introduce themselves. Starting with Toby each one called out his name – Toby, Rob, John, David, Jake, Wes, Lee, Harry, Matteo, Donny, Carl and Ivan. Tom then proceeded to do a speech covering the setting up of a new department within the University, which they were currently developing a new set of courses and were seeking volunteers to trial run which is where they come in. If they agree to be volunteers and participate fully in all the programs then once the department has been set up and the courses running formally they will be offered places free of charge and they will receive study credits which count towards the final qualification. Are they still interested? Yes, they all nodded. Good then in that case there’s the little matter of an agreement to be signed by each of you which basically states that at no time will you be put at risk of physical harm; you will be treated with respect; no activity will be asked of you which can’t or hasn’t already been experienced by a member of staff; you will comply with whatever instruction is given and you will not divulge any information to any third party until you have completed the formal qualification. In return you will receive the benefits already mentioned. With that he passed around a contract which one by one they signed and finally Tom put his signature on the bottom.

Right guys, let’s get started, I’m sure you’re all hungry but there’s something else we need to establish before we go down to the dining hall. You are now apprentices and as such your wellbeing both physical and mental has to be our priority while under our care. The initial hurdle you must all overcome is being comfortable with your own body image and being naked in front of other people whether they are clothed or naked. Your first task will therefore be to meet this challenge and overcome your own personal issues. In order to do this you will now remove your clothes and surrender them to Dave who will return them to you on completion of the course. You will remain naked until then, do you understand? There was a stunned silence from them and Toby looked a little uncomfortable. Sorry is there a problem? Dave asked. In order to successfully complete this course you will need to trust us implicitly and do everything that is asked of you. The contract you have just signed makes this quite clear, if you feel that you are unable to meet your obligations please leave now before we begin and nothing further will be said. Otherwise please stand up one at a time, walk over to me and remove ALL your clothing, then tell the class what you like most about your body and also what you like least about it. Afterwards you may sit down again until you have all taken a turn. Looking at each other nervously one by one they stood up, walked over to where Dave was standing, and removed every item of clothing neatly folding and placing it at his feet until completely naked. Then trying not to meet anyone’s eyes they talked about their favourite and least favourite body parts. I felt so sorry for them, it was a situation they clearly had never encountered before, but I did understand the theory behind Tom’s plans, it was just a matter of time before they felt the benefits of his tuition.
An hour later we had completed the round of stripping and intimate revelations, the twelve naked young men had now bonded just a little bit more and if I wasn’t mistaken there was a little more respect between them as they realised that their issues weren’t unique to themselves. I was beginning to get hungry and I definitely heard more than one stomach rumbling! Dave must have read my thoughts because he announced that it was now time to go for our evening meal in the dining hall, okay folks let’s go! He said with a warm smile. We all (the staff) stood up and started to walk towards the doors, not hearing any chairs scraping I looked over my shoulder to see the twelve students still sitting not quite sure what to do next. Come on guys! Look, you have all seen me in action during classes at the University and no doubt whilst here (throwing Toby a wink) so if I can do it in front of a class of thirty students I’m sure you can do this with just the staff here, who will not be judging you in any case. Now come on guys, we’re starving and you’re holding us up! I said with the warmest smile I could manage.

This seemed to have the desired effect, when Toby made the first move by standing up, the others quickly followed suit and joined us, covering their genitals with their hands as best they could. Ignoring this gesture of modesty Tom waved them through the doorway before locking the door behind us. Dave led the way down the stairs to the main foyer where Douglas was waiting for us. I had to give him credit, he didn’t bat an eyelid at the sight of six dressed men and twelve naked young guys coming down the stairs towards him. His lack of reaction must have made a positive impression because I spotted Toby and Jake relaxing their guard and their hands slowly returned to their sides. As we made our way over to the dining hall the topic of conversation focused on highs and lows of the sports tournament. This was safe ground and as the students relaxed into the conversation and became more animated hands were naturally used in gesturing and covering their genitals was forgotten by the time we reached our seats. The three course meal was served in the usual manner, at first a couple of the waiters did double takes at the sight before them making John and Donny blush, but very quickly the waiters became accustomed to the group (I guess they’ve seen a lot of strange scenes while working at the castle) and ignore the naked bodies.

During the course of the meal Jake asked what was planned for this evening. In reply Tom informed the group that after dinner they would be going for a walk around the lake before returning to the castle to use the new gym facilities and start learning some of the basic skills in preparation for the following day. This seemed to satisfy his curiosity and the table conversations carried on as before.

Having finished or after dinner coffees Tom announced it was time to make a start and rose from the table heading towards the door. In response everyone scrambled up and ran to catch up with him, I’m not sure if this was impatience on Tom’s part or if it was planned because the students didn’t have time to consider their appearance as they were too busy catching up. He kept up a brisk pace until he reached the lake before he slowed to a comfortable pace allowing for a more sociable and pleasant walk. He seemed to be making a point of getting the staff and students to mix feely with no one person ever being left alone, I asked Dave about this and he confirmed that this was a deliberate policy. He went on to explain that by going for this extended walk it served to get the students accustomed to being naked for an extended period of time outside in the open without making an issue of it plus it was warming their muscles up and helping walk the meal off before the first exercises start back at the castle. Oh, I see and what might those exercises be? Ah ha! Not so fast young man! Dave laughed, I’m not going to steal Tom’s thunder, you will just have to wait like the all the others. Laughing I said fair enough and let him wander off, looking over to where Marc was I saw him in deep discussion with Lee and Matteo, I smiled enjoying the view before deciding it was time to chat with Toby. Catching up with him I asked him if he was okay, he smiled and said that he was although so far events hadn’t happened quite as he had expected. Not that he was regretting his decision, he just wasn’t sure exactly what this walk was in aid of. Although, if he was honest he found it invigorating walking around starkers and erotic being naked in the company of clothed men. Good. I replied with a grin. That is just the response we are looking for, so you’re on the right track. Keep going as you are, complete every task set, enjoy every moment as much as possible and I’m sure you’ll pass with flying colours.

I felt a hand slip round my waist and pull me to one side, being caught off guard I jumped a little, making Toby giggle. I didn’t need to look round to know Marc had grabbed me, just the feel of his hands and the smell of his perfume was enough to identify him to me. Leaning into him I sighed and whispered hello gorgeous. Hello partner he whispered back before giving my bum a squeeze, releasing me and rejoining the other guys. What was that all about? Toby asked. Just Marc being himself I replied trying not to reveal too much personal information. Toby wasn’t letting go though. Are you two an item? If not, do you think there’s any chance that we could go for a drink once we’re back home? There’s that slight pout again. Thank you. I replied with a smile, but it wouldn’t be appropriate for a member of staff to have an emotional relationship with a current student if you get my drift. I tried to be as sensitive as possible while being firm as I had no intention of sending him the wrong signals. It was flattering to have a young man showing interest in me but my sights were firmly set on Marc. Perhaps I had misunderstood him or he was trying to save face because he laughed saying it was only for a drink, nothing else, but if I was going to get heavy then just forget it and walked off to talk to Callum instead. I shrugged my shoulders and decided to enjoy the walk and enjoy the sights, both scenery and the naked forms walking in front of me before anyone else joined me and wanted to chat.

Eventually, probably about an hour later we had walked full circuit of the lake and were approaching the castle courtyard again, Tom led the way straight towards the door leading toward the underground gymnasium. He held the controlled entrance door open for us and as the by now sweating (from walking briskly) students passed he announced that they were muddy and rather sweaty so a shower was in order. I smiled to myself wondering exactly how thorough this shower was going to be. Locking the door behind us Tom once again led the way over to the shower area and instructed the students to wash and rinse themselves thoroughly but taking no more than ten minutes each as there was only four showerheads available. They would have to take in turns to shower, dry themselves off and then join the rest of the staff in the douching cubicle. Douching? What’s that I heard more than one student ask. No need to worry about that now, Dave informed them, just concentrate on the task you’ve been given. As the first four students came through all buffed up from the vigorous towelling, Tom deliberately decided to set the douching hose up and carefully started to grease up the small metal butt plug shaped ending to the hose. The four guys were looking slightly concerned, clearly they had some idea of what was going to happen. When he was satisfied that it was greased sufficiently, he fetched a roll of paper towels and a can of Crisco, by then the other eight students had joined us. Asking the students to gather round he explained the purpose of the douching hose i.e. to flush out all faeces from the rectum and bowels so that any objects that were inserted would not only come out clean again but it would also minimise the risk of blood poisoning should there be any tissue damage. He stressed that this was an extremely important procedure and must not ever be omitted, should this happen then the student would be excluded from the class and would reflected in his course marks. Lecture over he indicated that the first student should come over and be cleaned out. No one made a move. Clearly disappointed, he sighed and looked at Dave saying that perhaps this wasn’t such a good idea after all, this bunch of students didn’t appear to be motivated after all. He was going to call a halt to it despite the hard work that everyone had already invested in this project. Lee must have felt guilty because finally with head bowed he put his hand up in the air and said that he’d go first.

Right Lee, if you’d like to come here, get down on all fours with your bum facing the guys and your head resting on the floor. Now you lot, draw in closer because it’s important for you to see how this is done because you will be practising on each other tonight and for the next couple of days. If you don’t get it right you will hurt the guy you are cleaning out, ok? Nods all round but no one said anything. Lee, I’m going to apply some Crisco around your anus and just inside, it won’t hurt but may feel cold ok? Lee replied sure go ahead. Tom applied the Crisco as warned then ran the water through the douching tube until it was at body temperature. He then explained to Lee that he was going to insert the head of the douche into his rectum, that he was to hold it inside him until he was told otherwise, understood? Again Lee said to go ahead. Gently and slowly the plug was pushed into his anus, as the widest part entered his ring closed behind it and gripped the neck. Lee groaned and lifted his head, his face was rather flushed. Are you ok? Again he said that he was. As the water flowed into him I could see his stomach become distended, at which point Tom massaged it from underneath to ease any cramping which might occur, explaining his actions to the watching students. When he was satisfied enough water had entered he pulled the plug out of Lee’s anus and told him to sit on the nearby toilet. Lee didn’t hesitate; he flew to the toilet and sat down just as the water and faeces mixture exploded out of him and down the pan. When no more water came out Tom repeated the whole procedure again and again until everyone was satisfied that the water coming out of Lee was crystal clear. By this time most of the guys were sporting erections and were doing their best to ignore them. Tom asked if anyone had any questions? No one had any so he selected Rob to clean out Toby in exactly the same way he had just cleaned out Lee. Slowly over the next couple of hours each student was thoroughly cleaned out to their peer’s satisfaction.

By the end of the process again I noticed a subtle difference in the attitude of the students. The lack of dignity afforded by the cleaning out process had humbled the prouder members somewhat and had focused their attention as they realised this was for real and we were completely serious about what was expected of them. Right guys. Tom announced, the next task ahead is for us to assess your anal elasticity. Before we can make a start with any of the lessons and exercises we need to establish just how much you can take, as already explained you, we will not allow you to be harmed in any way. Now have any of you previously had anything up your arse other than the douching hose or occasional finger? There’s no need to be shy, we’ll be able to tell in any case. Nobody made a move. Okay guys, I guess you’re all anal virgins, it now time to find out if you are telling the truth! Now form straight line, two feet apart, all facing the same direction towards the wall. While he was gave this instruction Dave fetched Tom’s laptop computer from the gym’s office and turned it on. By the time it had warmed up the twelve were lined up and waiting for their next instruction. Tom carried on, right Marc can you help me by holding the Crisco for me so that I can access it as I need it. Marc nodded and retrieved the can of Crisco from the shower area before joining Tom who was standing by the first student to be assessed, Carl. When I tap you on the shoulder I want you to bend over at the waist and reaching behind, you are to pull your cheeks apart so that I have clear access to your anus. Dave, are you ready to enter the readings as I go? As Dave nodded Tom tapped Carl on the shoulder who then bent over and obediently spread his cheeks for inspection. Tom snapped on a pair of latex gloves, reached into the can Marc was holding and dug out a small amount of Crisco which was then applied to Carl’s anus before he slowly inserted a finger pushing it in as far as it would go. Carl groaned a little and adjusted his position slightly to make the intrusion more comfortable. The finger was then withdrawn and a second finger attempted to join the first up Carl’s rectum, however the ring was just too tight so Carl was scored as a “1” and Dave duly noted this down. Tom moved on to the next student, Rob, and repeated the same procedure with him scoring a “2” and so on with Tom moving slowly along the line. By the final student, Matteo, there were nine “1”s two “2”s (Rob and Toby) and one “3” (Jake). Dave and Tom appeared to be expecting this set of results, announcing that there was a lot of work to be done here if they were to make any progress within the next two days but if they were prepared to work hard the staff would help to achieve the best results possible.

Lee seemed to have taken on the role of spokesperson for the group and asked quite seriously was there anything they could do before tomorrow which would help speed matters up. Dave looked over to me and asked me to answer that question as I had proved to be such a talented bottom. Rising to the challenge I advised them that there are several activities which can help relax the anal sphincter muscle but whatever they decide to do they must not push themselves so hard that they cause a tear in the tissue. This will hurt and potentially ruin their chances of achieving the goals set by the end of the two days. Having said that, providing you take your time, relax and enjoy it then the following are good exercises for you to try:

1. Give a full body massage to relax the receiver and then concentrate on the anal muscles using lubricated fingers. Massage the ring on the outside, the surrounding areas and then gently on the inside of the ring. As you feel the ring relax further then you can gently introduce another finger, do it very gradually otherwise the ring will clamp shut and your work will be undone. You will then have to start again. If you want to practice this on each other tonight stop when you get to three fingers as that will have been enough stretching for one day.

2. Anal fucking, this exercise will probably appeal more to you guys, but again caution must be initially exercised by both parties if injuries are to be avoided. I know from personal experience that some of you are already familiar with this activity, but for those of you that are not the instructions are quite simple. Liberally lubricate both the inside and outside of the anus before also liberally lubricating your cock. Be slow and gentle when entering, allow the rectum and anus time to accommodate the intrusion, continue pushing in until your cock is fully buried. Hold it still for a minute or two then slowly withdraw until only your cockhead remains inside, then slowly push back in again. Continue to do this until either you or the receiver cums, you can quicken your thrusting if you wish but at all times it must be with your receivers consent and all movements should be smooth with no sudden jabs.

3. Insertion of butt plugs and dildos, this is another method of anal stretching and can be effective but one that is best carried out under supervision so I would recommend that you leave this until classroom exercises.

4. A combination of exercises 1 and 2 can be used depending on the ability of the person and time allowing.

As I drew my speech to a close Tom took charge again saying that if anyone intends to practise these exercises after this class, cans of Crisco can be obtained from Douglas who will be manning the foyer this evening. That gentlemen is all we will be doing in class this evening, we expect you to be ready to continue with the lessons immediately after breakfast. Does anyone have any questions? Toby stuck his hand up in the air, glanced in my direction and then asked if staff would be allowed to assist with the “homework” exercises. Um, that’s a good one. Tom replied. I think in this instance the answer would have to be no, it wouldn’t be appropriate. I know that during this holiday staff/student activities have happened, it is quite permissible and can be a good thing as long as it takes place in personal time. However as you are apprentices for the next two days and one evening you are no longer in personal time and the University will consider its staff as being “at work”, therefore assistance which will favour an individual over the rest of the class is not permitted. Toby accepted Tom’s explanation but didn’t look too happy but I’d already explained this to him so he should have known better than to try and manipulate the situation. Okay guys, if there are no more questions we’ll call it a day. You’re free to go but remember no clothing is permitted until we tell you otherwise.

Marc took hold of my hand and told me to stay put, he wanted some “us time” in private so we stood where we were and watched the other staff and naked students file out of the room, Dave looked round and asked if everything was okay, Marc said everything was fine, he simply wanted to show me the exercise machines as we were both feeling the need to pump some iron. Fair enough guys, just tidy up after yourselves and don’t forget to turn off the lights when you’re finished. Will do we replied with a grin.

Once we were alone Marc drew me to him and gave me a bear hug, kissed me briefly on the forehead and then looked me in the eye before asking me if there was anything going on between me and Toby. I was only half surprised by his question, after all Toby hadn’t been particularly discrete in how he’d asked Tom about assistance. I was more surprised with the indication that Marc might be possessive over me and I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. Looking back straight at him I told him with complete honesty that there was nothing going on between Toby and myself and never would be. As far as I was concerned we were an item although we hadn’t finalised things yet, like him I was falling in love and nothing and no one was going to come between us. Good! He declared with a grin, this was the answer he’d been looking for, now that we’ve got that sorted it’s time to pump some iron! Relieved that things were cool between us I was more than happy to join him using the exercise machines. It had been several weeks since I’d last exercised and I wanted to keep my body as trim as possible (both for my job and personal pride).

Several hours later, having completed a couple of circuits of the gym and showered afterwards, Marc and I closed up the gym and joined the others in the dormitory. Neil had managed to find a pack of cards from somewhere and was well on the way to thrashing the others at poker. Personally I can’t play poker to save my life as my face has always been too expressive but Marc’s face lit up and it was clear he was a fan of the game. Not wanting to be a party pooper I joined in the game but after several rounds I had lost all of my tokens so I crashed out and left the others to carry on. I don’t know how long they played on because as soon as my head had hit my pillow I fell asleep, only stirring when I felt Marc crawl into bed and snuggle up to me.
