The Messy Tournament - Chapter 18: US team video challenge

Written by WLG — 2022 — from UMD.net

"Here we are, the two final challenges! I know both teams worked hard yesterday evening and this morning to create their videos for our viewing pleasure."
"Come on Charles, I can't wait to watch them!" said Stacy.
"I know, I know. I've already sent them to Australian and UK Mansions, as you know they will also have to give points to their favorite video."
"Let's start these videos, you know we still have the results ceremony to organize!"
"You're right Peter... Shall we start with our local team? "

"Yep, but remember, we still have to be totally fair in our evaluation."
"Sure Lila, then let's start the video which is called 'The messy curse'."
"Ooooh Is there a description?"
"Yep, here it is: 'Emma has just broken up with her boyfriend, and the sister of her ex is extremely upset about the situation. When Emma was with her ex, he told her that his sister was into black magic. Today, Emma received a message from the sister...'. Now, this sounds very promising!"

Charles started the video and everybody was able to see it on a big screen in the middle of their meeting room.

"I've got a new message!" Emma spoke aloud to herself as she was looking at her inbox.'I told you to never hurt my brother. You broke his heart you bitch, so I have put a curse on you! I hope you enjoy your nice clothes and fine makeup because tomorrow will be a very messy day. Mark my words, many messy things will happen to you and you will not be able to avoid them. To make it worse it will all seem completely normal to other people around you.'
"Really?" Emma snorted. "I'm too old to believe in nonsense like this! Goodnight little witch!". She deletes the email and slams shut her laptop.

The next morning, Emma is having breakfast, fresh bread with strawberry jam and orange juice. Unfortunately, as she spreads the gooey jam thickly onto the bread she drops it right on her black skirt. It splats, jam-side down before sliding onto the floor.Emma drops onto all fours to pick up the errant slice but, while trying to stand up, she bumps into the table.
The bottle of orange juice wobbles and falls pouring a sticky flow over Emma's head. She is immediately drenched in orange juice but, instead of trying to do something, she just stays frozen in place without any reaction beneath the orange shower.
Emma tries to stand up again, another bump to the table and this time the jam jar topples and completely empties onto her head, the sweet translucent paste slowly dripping into her hair.
"Oh my God! What just happened?" Emma is finally able to stand and struggles to her feet trying to wipe the goo from her hair and dress.

Her phone pings, a message from the sister of her ex boyfriend. 'How was your breakfast bitch? I told you... You're gonna have a messy day!'
Emma looks at the clock. She has to rush so, without taking time to clean herself or change her clothes, she leaves her kitchen and gets into her car.
A few minutes later, she arrives at the garage.

"I'm covered in juice and jam and I didn't even take time to clean before coming here... I think I'm really cursed..." She glances at herself in the rearview mirror, bemoaning the state she is in.

She parks her car in the garage and opens the door to leave. However, she was is parked next to an oil pit. As she steps out of the vehicle she stumbles and falls into the dark oily mess, disappearing beneath the waste oil and grease contained within. A few bubbles appear on the surface before Emma reappears, covered head to toe in the dark thick oil and grease.Her white shirt has turned black and almost totally transparent, her hair is now flattened on her head and saturated with oil. She wipes her face with disgust.
The mechanic, played by Maria, walks into the shot, on the floor above Emma. Emma smirks before trying her best to look natural. She turns to the mechanic. "Excuse me, I had to bring my car for some repairs and I fell into the pit here. May I have some help please?"
"Sorry miss, I have a lot to do, leave your car here, we will fix it by the end of the day."
The mechanic was absolutely not surprised about the fact that a girl was bathing in their waste oil pit. Even worse, she seemingly ignores her and empties two bottles of oil on Emma who is frozen in place and just stays beneath the oily shower.
With the bottles emptied, the mechanic walks away leaving Emma struggling to exit the pit. Eventually, she slithers onto the floor of the garage her clothes trashed by her messy bath and shower.

Now on the street, on the sidewalk, Emma tries to catch a bus to go back home.
She was looking at the map to decide which bus to take. Behind here there is a loud motor noise. A car accelerates and drives into a big mud puddle next to her creating a big messy wave. Emma yelps immediately turning around just as another car approaches which also drives through the muddy puddle. It covers Emma's front with a fresh coating of liquid mud.
"That should be a joke!" A heavy truck noise is heard and again the mud puddle is flung towards her creating two new and bigger mud waves. Covered head to toe in mud, looking at her trashed outfit, Emma spits out mud saying "My gosh, I can't believe what has happened. It is nearly noon... It will be safer for me to have lunch in a restaurant in the area."
Emma walks into a restaurant where the waitress, Taylor, welcomes her. "Hi miss, I recommend our speciality: the meat pie with mashed potatoes."
"OK, I will follow your recommendations."
Emma sits and waits for her meal. The waitress returns with the order: a big meat pie, a bowl of mashed potatoes and a big jug of gravy. Everything was put on the table in front of Emma.
"Here is the meat pie" Taylor holds Emma by her hair and dunks her face into the pie. Her features sink into the soft pastry and into the deep filling within.

"Do you like it?" she says to Emma while extracting her head from the pie. But before Emma was able to answer, the waitress dunks her face again in the pie.

Then, taking the bowl of mashed potatoes she emptied it into Emma's blouse pressing the potatoes to completely cover her breasts and back.

"I definitely recommend our gravy too!" Taylor takes the big jug and slowly pours the contents onto Emma's head and body.

Knowing that she would be unable to do anything in response because of the curse, Emma takes her fork and eats some piece of her meat pie before calling back the waitress.

"May I recommend to you our famous homemade chocolate mousse? Do you want one?"

"Oh yes, I love chocolate!"

"Then you will be pleased! It will take a few minutes to prepare it, I will be back soon."
The waitress leaves Emma alone. The camera moves to show a sign just behind Emma. "Throw your garbage here" with an arrow pointing to where a bin should be standing but is strangely missing. Unfortunately for Emma, her seat was just behind the sign...
The first customer arrives and emptied her unfinished plate of spaghetti over Emma. When she leaves, another one arrives. First, she empties baked beans and sauce from her plate into Emma's blouse, then she grabs Emma's hair to clean three other plates full of mustard, mashed potatoes and various kitchen slop.
When this second customer leaves, the waitress returns holding a big bowl of chocolate mousse.
"And here is the dessert!"
With these words, the waitress flips the bowl and pulls it down over Emma's head. The bowl was so big that Emma is engulfed to her nose. The waitress turns the bowl several times, the mouse running down Emma's cleavage. Finally, the waitress removes Emma's messy hat.
"Did you like it?"
Before Emma can speak the waitress has left and Emma cleans her face which has been covered by her cursed lunch.

"Gosh, I can believe I've really been cursed by this witch! Look at me! My clothes are ruined, my hair has been used as a dishcloth and I'm not even mentioning the oil and mud..."
SPLASH... She suddenly receives a pie sandwich.
"I thought you would like to try another speciality. Here is the bill, have a nice day!"The waitress leaves Emma with an 'O' face, still surprised by the sudden pies.

"I have two hours until I get back my car back, after that I will go back home, close the door and hide until tomorrow I will wait somewhere far from any messy things... The park will be perfect!"
Emma moves to the park, finding a bench below a tree where she can sat to wait in a safe place.
"I've been there for half an hour, and nothing messy has happened to me. That's perfect!"

Next to her, a person dressed as a beekeeper arrives with a long pole.
"There is an old hive just above you, miss, you'd better move while I remove it!"
Emma tries to move but she finds she is stuck on the bench. Beside her, she sees a sign "Fresh varnish. Keep Off!". She is unable to move, her clothes glued firmly to the bench.
"You can stay here if you want, I will do my job anyway. '' commented the beekeeper.He started to hit the hive with his pole tearing a hole in it.
The hive was full of honey... And with Emma just below. A torrent of honey starts to flow onto Emma who cannot move. It completely covers her in the gold liquid. When the flow stops, Emma was engulfed in a thick coating of honey.
"It can't get any worse..." she says to herself before hearing a lawnmower. The noise getting closer. Emma just had the time to close her eyes before being covered by freshly cut grass which stuck to the honey.
The lawnmower went further before looping back leaving Emma under another layer of green grass.
Even if she didn't manage to stay clean during the afternoon, it was time for her to go to pick up her car... But she was still glued to the bench! She tried to drag herself out but the result was that her clothes were ripped leaving her in her underwear.

"Oh! This gonna be a long day..."
Walking down the street, Emma manages to reach the garage without any new messy adventures. She was even able to get her car and come back home.
When she left her car, happy to finally be at home, she hurried to leave her car when something fell from the roof of her car.
One of the mechanics had forgotten they had placed a can of white paint on the roof of Emma's car. Eager to leave, Emma didn't see this can which landed on her head covering her head to toe in white paint.
"I don't care anymore, I'm home, nothing could happen to me anymore!"
Surely linked to the curse, a water supply cut-off had been planned for the whole day preventing her from having a shower as she would normally do in such a case. Instead, she tried to avoid anything which could lead to a messy situation.

Suddenly somebody knocked at the door. It was her neighbour, Maria.
"Hi Emma, how are you? It has been a long time since I borrowed many things, so I thought it would be good to give them back to you."
Emma looked overwhelmed.

Maria first emptied a bottle of milk on Emma, then she smashed twelve eggs one by one onto her head.

"I only borrowed two but I bought a dozen". Maria says cheerfully.

Finally, Maria takes two bags of flour and dusts them on Emma until the bags were empty.

"Thanks for all that Emma!"
Emma goes back inside, the door slamming creating a cloud of flour. Her phone rings.
"So Emma, did you enjoy your messy day?" It was her ex-boyfriend's sister.

"You're a bitch, I had the worst day in my entire life because of you!"

"Ha ha ha, I'm so pleased to hear that! But... You don't seem to have understood the lesson. You know what? I think I will not remove the curse today! I know you are working at the farm tomorrow... I will let you have all of the evening and night to imagine what will happen to you there. My brother and I have planned a visit... We can't wait to see you!

Have a good night!"

"That was an excellent scenario!" Charles clapped.

"Absolutely! It's sad we don't have the video of the next day!" Laughed Stacy.
