Chapter 1 - The Beginning
I don't remember when I first started going, all I know is I got addicted to the cash so quickly! I don't buy drugs or shit like that, never have done, never will do. I've just got accustomed to a level of spending that I couldn't otherwise afford. I don't have to worry about whether I can afford something or not anymore.
Don't misunderstand me. Its' not like I'm super rich or anything, I'm just your ordinary 23 year old girl. I work in an office doing regular hours, earning regular pay, except at I give my self freely to the Fertilitas Gelamen and have for a number of years. Who wouldn't for $2,000 an hour. I can earn more in that one weekend than I can in ages at work. It paid me through University without need for any loans -- who can admit that nowadays?.
I'm not stupid by any means. I'm not one of those dumb bimbo's who just has a body with fake tits and shaved pussy to use. I've got a degree from a top University. I've just made a simple lifestyle choice which I am very happy with right now. I do shave though, nothing more pleasant than playing with myself when freshly shaved and totally smooth. My boobs are all my own too.
I don't subscribe to the form of worship of the gathering anyway -- who gives a shit if the earth don't provide? Nowadays we just throw on some more chemical and away we go or ship it in from some other place. Still to be part of these olden day rituals is kinda uplifting in a strange way and totally mysterious too. Of course they take it all very seriously and if it's done wrong they get real pissed and I'm sure that if they knew my thoughts I wouldn't be alive for much longer. It's always a complete party to everyone there, not that I realise that to be honest, but the meaning and the purpose is so real for them. It's a matter of death or survival in a way.
They are all business people, there's none of these down and out types there at the gathering. Although some stories of meetings afterwards are just frightening, it seems some people can't separate the fantasy from reality. I've lost a few friends from the gathering, or at least they haven't come back!
I remember the events of that first time as though they were yesterday, but the rest have all blurred into one ongoing memory. But that first time was something else! And to think if my Mum hadn't asked Debs my best friend how her Mum can afford to keep buying her all those designer clothes I would never have gotten involved.
Debs later explained it to me.......what did she call it?......Oh that's right, the Gathering for Fertility or Fertilitas Gelamen, as they call it! I remember laughing with her at that. We'd been friends since forever, in fact I can't remember a time without her. We are so alike it's untrue.
"More than a Kyabajo" is how she described it!
"What does that mean?" I remember asking.
"It's like a hostess, you do things for people. But not just guys, it's anyone, it's everyone. And you do what they want. Everything is possible. There's no rules, no restrictions, just basic human freedom" she explained. "Everyone is pretty much naked and you just pick out people you like and then dance and drink all night long. The girls are less rough to be honest, but if you are relaxed enough it's easy to deal with everything they want from you. Just leave yourself behind at the gate, be bigger and more open, be totally open to every experience possible and go with it"
"Sounds totally scary to me!"
"Not at all, it's totally mind blowing and you just get taken along with it all. I've never danced so much, it's so much fun. And don't forget we get paid too. Paid damn well!" she continued.
"Why do we get paid and not everyone?" I asked
"I don't know, probably to make sure there are enough of us each time. Are you interested? Because if you are I'll need to show you to Dei. They'll say whether you'll get in or not before we go. You won't want to be left outside on your own if they refuse you entry!"
"Can I leave when I want, say if I don't like it?" I whispered, my mouth getting quite dry as my mind began to work through the implications.
"I guess! Nobody's ever done it since I've been going" she answered, somewhat surprised at my question. "I'm going to the one next Saturday night. We've got to be there for 11, so that we can get through all the process and tests and stuff. The party starts just after 1am. Are you coming"
I nodded my head absently, not really sure what I was agreeing to.
Debs took me for coffee during that week and said someone would be looking over me. I thought I was going to meet someone and have a chat, but we just sat in the coffee shop for like three hours, chatting about stuff. I kept looking at everyone to see if I could figure out who "Dei" was. But everyone was doing their own thing and after a while I forgot about checking people, despite my mixed excitement and anxiety.
