I got off the bus at the retreat. Strangely enough, since I had signed the form, I hadn't seen Lisa, Alicia, or Carrie. Their absence in my life was strange.
Grabbing my bags, I lugged them to the sign-in desk at the main office. The camp and the school were very specific about paperwork. They didn't want to lose track of any of the attendees.
"That looks like a lot of bags," I heard a familiar voice say. Somehow, I managed to contain any sounds of discontent I wanted to make. Why was Lisa here? I looked in her direction. As usual, she was flanked by Alicia and Carrie.
"Name," prompted the attendant behind the desk. I provided my full name to her. Now that I knew my tormentors were here, I just wanted to go lie down. "What's in the bags?" the attendant asked.
"My stuff," I said. "Clothes and stuff."
The attendant looked confused. "Why'd you pack clothes?"
Now I was confused. "Why wouldn't I pack clothes?" I retorted. Lisa snorted. Something about the situation was seemingly quite amusing to her.
The attendant slid a paper out of my folder and spun it so I could take a look at it. My eyes started skimming over it. "Certain Pagan traditions are conducted naked," she explained. "As such, the people that organized this retreat extended the opportunity to the attendees to participate naked if they wish." My eyes bugged out as I read the paper. "I don't understand why a person that signed the waiver to participate naked would bring clothes."
My eyes snapped down to the bottom of the form. There was my signature. How could my signature be there? I never signed any nudity waiver! Lisa, Alicia, and Carrie were all laughing. They must have tricked me. The form that Alicia made me sign for Mary must have been fake.
"I'm going to have to ask you to undress now, Erica," the attendant told me. "Your bags will be held in storage and returned to you at the conclusion of the retreat."
