Exactly. Ash doesn't have any history with fantasy LARPing. His specific form of nerdery comes in the form of Greek mythology. But he feels like there is enough adjacency, you know, like swords, gods, gay type shit, for Ash to get read in fairly quickly. Whoever was reading the applications that summer was like, yeah, close enough. Yeah, this is who you want at your fantasy LARPing camp.

You want Ash, the Greek mythology guy. And Ash is offered a position as an assistant prop master for Camp Gondor. Do you think LARPing as a camp counselor at LARPing camp is a good idea?

It's avant-garde, actually.

He's included in the price. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, some important things to know about Camp Gondor. It was founded 50 years ago by a couple that we would be referring to as the King and Queen. And the King and Queen poured their hearts and souls into Camp Gondor. They're in their 70s now and slowing down.

And a few years back, they turned the day-to-day operations of Camp Gondor over to their son, the Prince. Oh, my God. The prince does not give a single fuck about his parents' freaky little role-playing hobby. Oh, no. The prince also got his MBA from Wharton.

Yeah, the prince unironically identifies with Kendall from Succession. Okay. Okay. And Camp Gondor makes pretty good money. So he's fine running it.

Someone call me. So this is the situation our friend or friend is entering, succession at Camp Gondor. Do you have any concerns for him?

So to be fair to Ash, he didn't know about the royal family of Gondor until he arrived on the campgrounds in early June. He has just finished a self-administered crash course in fantasy novels. He has reread Fellowship of the Ring for the first time since he was 10. He's purchased a set of dice and he has brushed up on his paper mache skills.

So when Ash arrives at the beautiful lakeside campgrounds of Camp Gondor, he feels as prepared as he possibly can be. He studied and he is ready for his capital A adventure, which is great because almost immediately after arriving at Gondor, Ash is introduced to Jeremiah. Hmm. Jeremiah is 23. He is a counselor for the 13-year-old cabin.

This is his fourth year as a counselor at Camp Gondor, so he's extremely knowledgeable, but also super chill about it. Ash told us that Jeremiah was tall and lanky in that adorable gangly way. And that as soon as Ash saw Jeremiah galumphing across the field with his long legs like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, I was a goner. And that's a direct quote.
