Welcome to Splat Zone! The new Messy Gameshow roleplay!

[WAMPup]

I listened and nodded as the rules were explained. It seemed that this round would be entirely luck based and the losers were going to get it pretty harsh this round. At first I thought I was safe as the first round of cards is being drawn, my 9 wouldn't be all that easy to be...a ten? Seriously? Well crap. On to the next rou.....a four....I got a four. I just lost in the first round of this game....that means....oh no....I closed my eyes before the first pie made contact with my face, but I was blind anyway and didn't see the second one coming for my crotch. I doubled over at the surprise impact feeling considerably humiliated. My face red under the orange gunk. I walked over tot he plank, knowing what was to come. Watching and waiting felt like the game's way of taunting us. We got to see who would join us and suffer the same fate, but we knew we were getting it too. As the final loser was decided, we were all pushed into the pool below. Each of us was submerged and thoroughly coated in multicolored slime. It was thick and difficult to move through, which only added to the humiliation.Being forced to slowly wade and wallow in the gunge. I was starting to get nervous, seeing we have lost our lead, and that I have contributed very little. In fact Chubbysissy, last game's ultimate loser, was carrying our team. I nervously thought over which numbers to pick. 13, 64, 100, 99. Those would be my numbers this time.

I will be posting a full story later but gets go with 66 75 5 and 25

[ezeperalta212]

As round 2 starts I walk out with my team as the curtain raises. My shirt and shorts soaked in oil and my hair and shirt in beans and some treacle. clothes clinging and way more form fitting. My tan legs shine in the light with the oil.

As he says something about a Casino and starts his explanation it sounds like no matter what this isn't going to end well. Thankfully for once I am not in the first group of players. I watch intently trying to figure out what is going on as some of the crowd stares at my ass. I know that its all chance but hoping to figure out what is going on anyway.

After the first round this looks like without luck its not going to go well as I am anxious now but have to wait until the final group. Tension and nerves building as I step forward to see my cards.

Right off the batt I lose. Shaking my head knowing that there is no way I am going to end up winning. 2nd round I end up tying for the best hand. thank god. Hoping the 3rd hand goes well as they both get low cards and I pull a jack. I clinch my fist as I pick up a pie thankful this isn't going to me. I slam the red pie in her face, rubbing it all over and getting some up her nose and a good bit dripping down her front. I watch her join the others by the gunge pool. Happy its not me, looking like thats going to be a whole ton of ickiness.

I just need to pull out the next round but once again a loss right off the batt. Then he gets a 6. I gasp thinking what the fuck. But I match him and can't help but flip him off for the smug look. Hoping that somehow this confidence will carry me. Then he rolls another 5. How is this possible. I look agitated and just my luck I not only lose but I roll a 1. Bloxo looks all too happy as I glare at him.

I have no choice but to lower my shorts, showing some pink bikini briefs that show off my butt a good bit. I kneel down which feels very demeaning knowing something messy is coming. I feel cool bits plop on my head and roll down me. friggin rice pudding..."Yuck!!" soaking my hair and dripping down my shirt and thighs, puddling around my knees and lower legs as I kneel there. I stand up, getting all over my feet as I carefully walk over to my place on the stage. At least I got some points I think as I drain my hair flinging bits of rice pudding to the ground.

Sure enough all the losers are saturated in slime as they eventually come out dripping, clothes clinging and such.

Hating that we are losing but at leasts it close. Hoping to pull out another win this time and leave clean

[pantydabbler]

As we get on stage im fairly confident on how its going. Only got a little slime on my feet but mostly clean and my team in second place. This could be alo worse. As the second round is annoced i realise its pure luck and hope for the best


With my first card a jack im confident i can win untill chubby draws a queen, fortunatly happy gets a 5 so im good. The second round i get a 2 this does not bode well and i lose the round. Whats worse chbby won and gets to strip someone..... to my delight and relief he picks happy who has to drop her pants, leaving her with here pink panties exposed the mext card will decide the loser.. as i draw an ace reloef floods me as i know ill be safe from the losers forfeit, i let out a whoop. And watch how happy draws a 9 confirming her fate i pick up a pie and plant it in her face.

Then we get to the rolling of the die, i roll. And i only get a 1, not only do i lose the roll i lose clothing as well. I hesitate and my face turn red as the crowd laughs i drop my trowsers exposing my yellow boxers. The we roll a second time and i get another 1!! I curse the dice must be broken... to the great amusment of the crowd i tof my shirt. Then blocxo walks upnto chubby and gives him a large bucket. Then he walks over to me and forces me to my knees. Sotting there in jist my yellow boxers forced on my knees i blush and hand my head then chunby tilta the bucket and im drenched in thick custard. Well atlast i avoided the losers punishment, i think as i walk back to see the rest of the round unfold.

Ill take number 36 3 17 89

Questiom for the host, i take it the real loser(loser pool) have to do the punishment irl? Or also the 2nd place people. Also for next round please state of we redress or not so i can adjust story accordingly, thx

[Bloxo]

1. My dare will be based on the final loser pool, if people feel the need to enact the roleplay fully they can emulate other messy situations that occur, but this I will leave up to individuals

2. To confirm players will not be allowed to redress after each round

[happybunny101]

Sorry its been a while folks. That first round of oil and ketchup really stressed me out. Round 2 wasnt much better. A quick loss from bad cards two pies to the face and that dasterdly host gave me a wedgie before dropping me into slime. And ontop of all of that i only have my shirt and panties left to remove! Oh the humanity. I dont like it when we have to pick numbers. Ill do 70,55,44, and 33

[Bloxo]

Sorry for the delay folks!

Will update tonight, was just hoping for another couple of number picks

[duffduffers]

The next game I did not seem like a fun one, a game of chance.
However, the first card I draw is an ace of clubs! Yes!!!
The next card is another ace! What are the chances (2/2704)?
That leaves me safely through to the 2nd round. The next card I draw is a 4, not so good but mot terrible. I pick up a gbright green pie, smashing it In Babygirlpoopydiaper’s chest, a nice feeling of revenge from last time. Next I go over to the dice. I roll a 5, this is starting to scare me, my luck. Then I roll a 6, really scaring me, howver ezeparalta212 gets a 6 again, damn. Then it’s a 5, lucky again, but not as certain as a 6... ezeparalta212 gets a 1! Hahaha!
The numbers I pick are 51,52,53, and 50

[Bloxo]

The stage was set, our host was out and rubbing his hands as the spotlight hit him...

"Oh so much fun tonight ladies and gentlemen...so much gunge, so many clothes stripped off...so much humiliation among the players...and we still have a couple of rounds to go...I hope you are all enjoying yourselves!" The audience cheer loudly!

"So let's move on and get our lucky victims out to see how they fair with our 100 cards round!"

The players rush onto the stage in their various states, much of the mess worked out of hair and brushed from clothing...what clothing there was left of course!
As they got into their row at the front, Crystal emerged at the back smiling and waving and the curtains raised, the lights going up...as before there was a large board covered in numbers, a gunge tank to the left filled with multicoloured gunge, a pool with a slide to the right with a light blue gunge.
Shelves with various pies and buckets are strewn across the back of the stage.

"First player up is pantydabbler, step on over and call your numbers...the lovely Crystal will bestow your rewards...hehe"

pantydabbler walked up to the board, wearing only his yellow boxers he is apprehensive and nervous, looking up he called out his numbers "36, 3, 17 and 89"

All eyes are on the board...

36 turns over to reveal...'Lose 50 points', pantdabbler breathes a sigh of relief...not too bad, his team are annoyed of course however...

3 turns over and reveals 'Go Bottomless' pantydabbler's eyes widen...he barely has time to take this in before Crystal is behind him, grabbing his boxers firmly she yanks them down to his ankles and giggles loudly! pantydabbler turns, his hands down over his privates, his face bright red!

17 turns over, to the smile of pantydabbler he sees '100 points', his team cheer and he feels a bit better now...

Finally 89 turns to reveal 'Mayo filled Pie to face' Crystal is again quick off the mark, she speeds from the shelves, fresh with the pie and plants it firmly and heavily, feeling free to grind it around with a big grin on her face...pantydabbler splutters as the pie falls to the ground, using one hand to wipe his face he walks back over to his team...

"Aww, bless...not too bad...next victim is ChubbyShySissy, come on up!"

ChubbyShySissy strolls up to the board, confident after the last round! He proudly calls out his numbers "7, 14, 69 and 91!"

He continues to stare up at the board...

7 turns over...'Go Topless' appears...Crystal rushes over with a pair of scissors and starts to cut through the fabric, going through the sleeves first and then from the collar...she laughs a little crazily and then fabric falls to the floor leaving him exposed, he can't help but go a bit red in the face...

14 is the next to be revealed showing 'Cherry Pie to the butt', Crystal is running around, her athletic body coming in handy as she races to grab the pie and while running...she slams it into ChubbyShySissy's butt, twisting it around and around and letting it fall

69 twists around and reveals Slide in Gunge pool, ChubbyShySissy is walked over to the slide by crystal, nervously he climbs and to the top and taking a deep breath he slides down, he splashes down into the blue goop, keeping his head just above the deep pool, swimming over to the side he flops out to the clean floor, dripping in the slime he walks back over to the board.

Finally 91 turns to reveal 'Bucket of Blue slime over the head', Crystal ever keen grabs the bucket, ChubbyShySissy is made to kneel as she slowly turns it over the top of him...it slides down over his head and trails over his face, covering his body to join the lighter shade of blue...he stands and waddles back to the team, one giant smurf for the audience to laugh at.

"Hehe, next up we have happybunny101!"

happybunny101 walks over...nervous, she hated being stripped last game, and she only has her panties and T-shirt left in this one...she pauses for a moment and calls out her numbers "70,55,44, and 33"

She almost closes her eyes as 70 turns over...this reveals 'Slide in Gunge pool' she perks up a little, could have been worse, she skips over to the pool, quickly climbs the ladder and slides down at speed...she slips into the gunge a little easier than expected...and gets covered from head to toe! As she surfaces she wipes her hair and gasps for air...climbing out she shakes off a little and heads back to the board...

55 turning reveals 'Ice bucket shower', she squeals a little at the thought, she hates being cold! But low and behold Crystal is soon upon her, she throws the bucket over her artfully, primarily hitting her chest and clearing a lot of the gunge off her as the wave hits her face and the water washes down...happybunny101 shivers, putting her arms around her chest to hide the erect nipples pointing through her clinging shirt...

44 turns over to reveal 'Slide in Gunge pool' yet again, she runs over and can't climb the slide quickly enough, shooting into the light blue slime she rolled and rolled around, happy to be feeling warm again, she has to be coerced to leave the pool, she does so slowly and reluctantly...dripping with the thick slime she is put back in front of the board.

finally 33 turns over and reveals '50 Points' happybunny101 punches the air for getting a nice result and skips back to her team, blue slime dripping off her saturated clothing as she goes

"Aww, so cute...next up is Novagunger!"

Novagunger strides up to the board, happy with his current state...not too bad after last round, he calls his numbers out "66, 75, 5 and 25"

He grits his teeth slightly as 66 turns...this reveals 'Gunge balloon clothes filling and pop' Crystal races over with a bucket and slams 4 balloons down his top and 3 into his shorts, putting her force into slapping them one by one under his clothes, they pop in a variety of colours, red, blue, green and yellow in the top, pink and purple in the shorts...

75 turns to reveal 'Paddle Spanking' he is made to bend over as Crystal brandishes the Splatzone paddle, she slams the thick wood into his ass repeatedly making him shake and call out with each hit! After 5 good whacks he is left rubbing his sore ass and he turns to the board

5 turns over to reveal 'Mushy Pea Wedgie' Crystal running over with a jug of the thick green slop opens up the back of his shorts and his boxers and pours it in, grabbing the back of his shorts when down she yanks them up hard making go ooof!

A bit defeatedly he raises his head slowly to the board once more and 25 turns...but this time it is '100 points!' He cheers and walks back to his team, unpicking the wedgie as he goes...

"Not too shabby...next contestant is WAMPup!"

The plucky young WAMPup skips over, his clothing still heavily stained after the dunking last round and yelps out his numbers "13, 64, 100 and 99"

13 turns and reveals '6 Eggs smashed in underwear' Crystal again on form races over with a small wicker basket containing the eggs and gleefully slides 3 down the front and 3 down the back, she picks up the paddle and gives WAMPup a few whacks, each one making him howl and causing the eggs to explode, filling his underwear with the slimy mess...

64 turning reveals 'Lose 50 points' WAMPup looks a bit down, but doesn't lose his smile...

100 turns over to reveal 'Mushy Peas over head' Crystal races over with a bucket and WAMPup gleefully kneels, thrusting his face upwards and closing his eyes as Crystal pours the slop down right over...it piles up on his face before trickling down over his body, covering his front mainly...he stands up and watches as 99 turns to reveal '300 points!' He does a little jig and races back to his team all smiles!

"What a happy camper folks! Next up is kelseyroses!"

kelseyroses new to this game wonders over to the board, studying it for a moment she calls out her numbers, a slight quiver of excitement in her voice "15, 23, 67 and 82"

Looking after, only a bit messy still from the last round...13 turns and reveals 'Gunge Tank!' She turns to see Crystal grabbing her arm and escorting her over to the tank, she is sat down on the white plastic stool inside and the glass door is closed, Crystal then giggles as she pulls the lever, a small alarm sounds and the gunge is released...kelseyroses has her face up and eyes clothes as the multicoloured slime cascades down over her, it keeps pouring and pouring, smashing into her face and spraying over her body in an umbrella effect...she is left covered from head to toe...as the torrent stops, her pink outfit now awash with the thick slime she takes her hands and brushes the gunge from her face and runs them through her hair wringing out some of the gunge, she brushes her top and shorts and stands up, the door swung open for her she walks back to the board, dripping all the way...

23 turns to reveal 'Go Bottomless!' her mouth agape at the sight of this...it isn't long before Crystal grabs her slimy shorts and panties and slowly trails them down her body, revealing a rather clean white ass, kelseyroses quickly covers her modesty and blushes beneath the thick slime still present on her face...

67 reveals 'Bucket of Orange Slime over the head' Crystal, brandishing the bucket and showboating for the cheering audience stand before kelseyroses who carefully drops to her knees and raises her face to the sky, Crystal laughs as she slowly tips the bucket over her head, the Orange slime trickling down and over, a bit more liquid, it engulfs her and pours over her body, adding a slimy layer over her, she feels better knowing at least her bottom is a little concealed now...

She stands for the final number, 83 turns and reveals 'Gunge balloon clothes filling and pop' Crystal marches up with the balloons, she looks over kelseyroses deciding what to do with no panties to fill, she frowns and then shoves 4 balloons under her top from the bottom, getting kelseyroses to hold them in place...from the remaining 3 balloons left in the bucket she slams 2 into kelseyroses butt, one against each cheek...they explode in green and orange splashes, the third one she decides to be evil with, pulling kelseyroses hand away from her pussy she slams the last one right between her legs at the front, leaving a bright pink splodge, she then slaps the balloons in her shirt, showering her stomach and chest with yellow, green, pink and purple gunge...

Her hands covering her crotch kelseyroses walks back to her team, dripping away and slipping a little as she walks...

"Wooo...what a messy girl we had there...duffduffers you're up next!"

duffduffers marches over to the screen, deciding to get this over with her quickly shouts out some numbers left on the board "51,52,53, and 50"

51 turns revealing '50 points' this gives duffduffers a big grin.

52 reveals 'Raspberry Pie to the butt', Crystal walks over brandishing the pie and playfully twirls it around, then like a baseball pitch she winds her arm back and smashes it with full force into his ass making him stumble forward a little, she then wipes it up and down and walks away.

53 turns over to reveal '100 points' he whoops at his rather lucky round!

Finally 50 turns over revealing 'Nacho cheese filled Pie to face' Crystal, plucky and joyful marches over with the pie...she wafts it under his nose as she stares him in the eye and then slowly pushes it in and turns if from left to right, he gasps when she finally pulls it away and wipes his eyes, he returns to his team mates who give him a high five!

"Quite a lucky contestant there...right...next up Babygirlpoopdiaper!"

Babygirlpoopdiaper walks over, body language closed with nervousness as she reaches the board...looking up afraid she calls out her numbers "1,2,4 and 6" and shuts her eyes tight...

1 turns over to reveal 'Steal 100 points from winning team' when she opens one eye to look she suddenly realises it's a good one and goes yay!

2 turns over to reveal 'Go Bottomless' she whinges...Crystal walks over and tenderly takes down her shorts revealing a diaper under the blue fabric...she turns to Bloxo who shakes his head slightly, she leaves the diapers alone...Babygirlpoopdiaper can't help but pee a little in embarrassment and her face goes bright red!

4 turns over to reveal 'Giant Cream Pie to face' Crystal walks over gingerly and plops the pie on 'Babygirlpoopdiaper's' head and scrapes it down over her face, leaving her to cry a little with her messed hair

Finally 6 turns and reveals 'Paddle Spanking' Babygirlpoopdiaper is made to bend over and Crystal gets these spanks done quickly, each one smashing against the diaper, a little squelching sound heard with each smack, Babygirlpoopdiaper starts bawling and head in hands she runs back to her team...

"Umm...bless her folks...right, last up is ezeparalta212!"

ezeparalta212 pats Babygirlpoopdiaper as she walks past in consolment, knowing she may be in for just as bad, if not a worse fate, head held up proudly she marches right up to the board and proclaims her numbers "84, 81, 35 and 62"

Her hand over the back of her exposed panties she awaits her fate...

84 turns over to reveal 'Bucket of Nacho cheese in clothes', she grimaces as Crystal walks over with the bucket...ezeparalta212 is made firstly to hold open her shirt at the neck as the thick cheese is poured down her front, it coats her breasts and stomach in its warm and slimy embrace...then she is made to hold open firstly the front and then the back of her panties as Crystal gingerly pours the remaining goo inside, giving her a pat on the behind before she walks away...

ezeparalta212 turns again to the board...not quite sure how to feel here, 81 turns over to reveal 'Go Topless!' She starts to protest, but Crystal eager with her scissors sets to work on the top, cutting it from the bottom in a spiral pattern, layer by layer reveals more of her flesh until finally the neck and sleeves are cut making it fall to the floor...ezeparalta212 stands there with her arms crossed over her exposed breasts, face red...with anger as well as embarrassment...

Next 35 turns to reveal 'Gunge balloon clothes filling and pop' Crystal walks over with her bucket, forcing ezeparalta212 to put her arms down by her sides she pelts her top half with 4 balloons, each one exploding in turn and splashing all over, first green, then red, then orange and finally blue...
She then has her panties stuffed with two balloons in the back and one in the front...Crystal spanks these and soon her panties are almost transparent as the pink, orange and yellow balloons pop inside, ezeparalta212 has to keep a hand on them to stop them from sliding down her tanned legs...

Finally 62 turns revealing 'Frosting Bikini' leaving ezeparalta212 fuming...Crystal walks up with a large tub of pink frosting...but Bloxo rushes up, putting a hand on her shoulder and nodding, he is passed the tub, Crystal looking a little disappointed...
Bloxo walks over to ezeparalta212 and grins, she returns a look of thunder...next thing she knows Crystal is behind her, pulling her arms behind her back...she struggles to little avail as Bloxo slathers the frosting over her slimy breasts, making a nice bikini top pattern...and giving her tits a good squeeze as he goes...

Next thing she knows her panties are yanked down exposing her messy ass and pussy, Bloxo takes another heavy handful and puts his hand right between her legs, feeling the soft skin and penetrating her slightly with his fingers, she gasps and then he smoothes the pink frosting over her ass and the front of her crotch to finish the panties pattern...as she is let go she is shaking with rage...but returns to her team, storming back over to them!

"That's all folks, what a nice set of mucky pups we have tonight! Our scores as we enter the last round are as follows:

Yellow on 500!
Blue on 650!
Pink on 250!

The Blue team have stolen the lead! Pink still trails behind, would each contestant pick a number from 1 to 9 please? We will be right back after the break for buckets of destiny!"

The lights dim and the curtain falls, the players and hosts begin to head off the stage

Forfeits:

Babygirlpoopdiaper fill your diaper with whipped cream and spank yourself 5 times

Other players: Try to emulate what happened above...
For Gunge slide...pour some custard in a bath, as much as you can and roll around in it.
For Gunge Tank, take a bucket of either gunge, or if you can't find that, cornflour mixed with water and food colouring, in as much a quantity as you can

You can't power roleplay Bloxo's character into doing things you want. That's just incredibly bad roleplaying etiquette.

I removed it thank u for the info

[ezeperalta212]

I walk out on stage after a short break. In my tattered shirt and panties. Feeling so humiliated already, bits of beans and rice pudding still in my hair. I see the board of 100 cards knowing this game from last time. It was so random and so messy.

I watch as other contestants walk up and pick 4 cards. Nobody fairing really well as Bloxo keeps glancing over at me at times as it seems like once again he can't wait for my turn. It seems like this game is way more about humiliating contestants then giving us rewards. I see everyone called up realizing that he is saving me for last.

I walk up on stage through various messes with my bare feet. Looking at the board... not really sure what to pick as this is all about luck. I pick 84 first, as its unvailed to show nacho cheese in my clothes. I give a disgusted face as the bucket is brought over my the assistant as the crowd is cheering hoping this game ends with a bang. I reluctantly hold my shirt out as the cheese slowly falls all over my tits and down my belly. shaking my head the whole time. it just gets worse as she makes me pull out my panties dumping it slowly in the front and the back as the camera gets a great view to my dismay. Its oozing out as he asked for my next choice.

Next I pick 81 as bloxo snickers when topless is revealed. I protest quickly so not wanting this to happen again especially after how the last game ended. but before much can be protested Crystal is already slowly cutting off my ruined shirt. slowly making a mockery of me as I am so pissed. Camera right on me, crowd hooting and hollering. Showing much of the nacho cheese that stains the front of my torso. I quickly cover up my tits when they become exposed. I glare at bloxo wishing he didn't seem to have so much of his focus on me and my humiliation.

I pick my next card. 35 is revealed and a pail of gunge balloons are brought out as I now stand there in my panties only. She makes me lower my arms showing my coated tits as she starts to grab balloons and pelt my bare tits. gunge running all down me as the crowd laughs with each pop. dripping down my thighs as then she puts some in my panties. I yelp as they pop feeling the muck right against my pussy. I pray that my last pick is simply points.

I pick 62 and bloxo laughs as he says frosting bikini. I think what the fuck is that. As I see him talk to the assistant and quickly grab the bucket and walk up in front of me. "No no no... don't do this.. let her". I plead as before I can do anything his assistant grabs my arms puling them back to extenuate my breasts as bloxo plants is frosting covered hands on them. I can't believe this is happening as he joyfully rubs them. he gives me a look and doesn't even ask but puts his hands on my sides and pulls down my panties exposing my nacho and gunge covered bottom. "don't you dare". I say stunned that once again I am naked. He takes a huge amount of frosting in his hand and puts it right between my legs. The amount of frosting to disguise the face that he is actually rubbing my shaven pussy a bit. He then smirks and proceeds to rub it around and over and in my ass crack. Camera all over it and the crowd loving every minute of it as I have to walk back to my team with us still losing. I am so pissed and humiliated.

I'll take number 2 again
