The Humble Games- S02 E01 (Part Four)

Chapter Four

Although it hadn’t even been ten minutes yet, Rachel felt as though she’d been squishing around in her messy diaper for hours. She tried to focus on her work, but between the ooey-gooey mushiness in her diaper and the poopy odor that was beginning to hang over the office, it was almost impossible. She looked at the clock and huffed… how long was it going to take for him to get here, anyway? She stared blankly at the page in front of her praying for The Master to show up… and fearing what would happen when he did.

     But mostly, Rachel noticed she was being distracted by strange, new feelings welling up inside her diaper. Squirming around in a sloppy, stinky pamper was disgusting, there was no denying that… so why was it starting to feel so damn good? She stopped what she was doing and wriggled her butt firmly in her chair, trying to focus on how gross it was… so why couldn’t she stop?

     A sharp rapping at her door made her jump. “W-who’s there?” she called softly.

     “Diaper-gram for a big girl on her first day of work!” she blushed furiously, hurrying across the office. She recognized the Master’s voice, and she was desperate to get him inside and get the diaper change over with (preferably before he announces it to the entire office, she thought bitterly, tearing the door open and pulling him inside.) “Well well,” he said, checking his watch with a grin, “you’ve been here all of ten minutes and you’re already using up one of your changes. Not the best start I’ve ever seen, sweetheart…”

     “Shut up!” she snapped, blushing. His condescension made her want to punch him in his smug, smarmy face. “What took you so long?!” she tried to keep her squirming to a minimum. Her pamper was sagging behind her, and the contents were rapidly growing cool and clammy.

          “I’m not at your beck and call, my dear,” he informed her smoothly. “You’re just one of several projects I’ve got on the go at the moment.”

     Rachel muttered under her breath. She realized she was more than ready for a new diaper… so much so that the thought of submitting to a change, as a grown woman hardly even bothered her. She willingly discarded her skirt when he instructed, and soon she stood before him, every inch the carefully dressed and groomed business woman, her make-up immaculate, blouse clean and pressed, and a pair of sporty black heels to top everything off. She wouldn’t have looked out of place in the office of any Fortune 500 company… except that below her blouse, she was wearing nothing but a big, loaded diaper around her waist… as saggy and smelly as anything a two-year-old would wear.

     “Now,” he said, “are you sure you’re finished?”

     She gaped at him dumbly for a moment. “Sorry?”

     “Are you sure you’re done? Wouldn’t want to get into a fresh diaper and have to mess it up again right away... I think you should give another great big push,” he grinned, “just to make sure you’re totally empty.”

     Rachel stared at him, opened her mouth to speak, then closed it again right away. What could she say? She knew he was right… it was just the way he spoke to her that made her bristle. I’m not a stupid kid, she pouted to herself. She briefly toyed with telling him as much, but quickly thought better of it… he’d probably just laugh in her face anyway. Vividly aware of his eyes on her, Rachel spread her legs a bit and bent her knees, sticking her bulging, diapered rump out behind her before she started grunting.

     She sighed, a tell-tale hiss emerging as she soaked her diaper with a warm, wet gush. A loud, quacking toot emerged; Rachel blushed and shuddered when she realized she was messing herself again.

     “Oh my!” The Master commented with a grin. “You making a mess in your britches, honey?”

     “You know I am!” She snapped, before emitting a startled “Uh!” With her heart fluttering in her chest like a frightened bird, she felt another gooey surge splattering into the seat of her diaper, which was growing heavier and saggier by the second.

     “All done now?”

     Rachel nodded stiffly. He opened his briefcase, removing the changing supplies. She almost laughed-- it was just so absurd.

     She watched, blushing, shifting from foot to foot as he spread a plastic mat out on the floor. “Plunk your little bottom down, sweetie,” he instructed with a smile, patting the mat. Rachel’s nostrils flared at his condescending tone, but there wasn’t much she could say… not with her diaper all steaming and droopy behind her. Slowly, hesitantly, she lowered herself down to the surface, wincing as she felt the load compressing beneath her bottom once more. Soon The Master loomed over her, oversized pamper in one hand, wipes in the other, grinning sardonically: “ready for your change, dear?”

     Rachel realized she was pouting childishly, but she just couldn’t help it. “Yes,” she said (with what she’d intended to be quite dignity, but in actuality sounded more like a sulky teenager.) She lay back and passively allowed him to remove her shoes, and soon she had nothing on below her waist except for the heavily soiled diaper. Rachel felt a rush of childhood memories as she watched him tower above her with a weird mixture of anticipation and dread—from this angle, he seemed absolute and all powerful… and from her vantage, squirming on her back in the middle of her office, half naked, about to have a dirty diaper changed, it was impossible to feel anything other than totally helpless.

     He was down on his knees in an instant, and she heard the diaper tear open and the cool breeze of the AC in such quick succession that they seemed to have happened at the same time.  She lifted her head and chanced a peek downward, nearly fainting when she saw that she was now squirming around naked on an open diaper… open, and visibly messy. The poopy stench increased ten-fold, but The Master never lost his smile as he went to work with the wipes. She felt him enfold her ankles in one massive palm, before her legs were lifted, exposing her messy hiney. Rachel tried to stifle a sigh, slowly closing her eyes and enjoying the sensation of having her butt wiped.

     It was certainly embarrassing, there was no question of that. However, she couldn’t deny that it felt absolutely heavenly to get clean again… if only I didn’t have that strange compulsion to suck my thumb, she thought as The Master passed the soft, wet cloth between her butt-cheeks, where the mess was really caked in, I might even be able to relax a bit.

     By the time he’d gotten the mess cleared away, Rachel was forced to admit the sensations she was feeling weren’t entirely objectionable-- even the embarrassment left a pleasant tingle, like a private joke shared between friends. The wipes felt wonderful and he wielded them skillfully, clearing away the mess with sure, gentle strokes.

     “I certainly hope you remembered to lock the door,” he said in a low tone, “it would be embarrassing to be caught getting your diaper changed on your first day of work.”

     She groaned in agreement, cheeks flushing bright red at the thought. But there was nothing she could do about it now. She sucked in a shaky breath and tried to relax; The Master took her by the ankles and hoisted her curvy butt into the air once more so he could slip a fresh diaper under her. Rachel couldn’t suppress a contented sigh as her newly washed tushy hit the clean, fresh padding of the thick and thirsty diaper.

     “Oh,” she whispered contentedly, squirming her bare bottom on the seat of the open diaper and luxuriating in the feel of its soft thickness against her freshly powdered buns. She felt a giddy combination of embarrassment and freedom at being so exposed and helpless. Rachel had to suppress a groan of disappointment when she felt the diaper tugged up tightly over her privates, sealing her in beneath layers of soft plastic. She realized she was practically panting, and made a conscious effort to slow her breathing.

     “There now,” The Master said, patting the front of her diaper and making her twitch, “doesn’t that feel much better?”

      Rachel could only nod, dazed. On her back in the middle of the floor, feelings of warmth and contentment warred with mortification and a profound sense of helplessness.

     “What a good girl you were for your diaper change,” he said, with a patronizing smile that made Rachel squirm and blush. “Such a good little girl,” he said, and started tickling her belly. Rachel squealed and giggled furiously, trying to keep the noise down. “Yes you are! You’re just such a well behaved little-lady when you’re getting your diaper changed!”

     Without warning, he bent down and blew a loud raspberry on her bare stomach. Rachel screamed with laughter, writhing and giggling helplessly on the floor as The Master easily tickled her into submission.

     “OK, dumpling,” he said, rising suddenly, “time to get back to work… it’s not all diaper changes and tickling, you know.” He helped her to her feet and gathered his things into his briefcase. Rachel watched, dazed, still clad in nothing but a diaper below the waist. She sat on the edge of her desk and struggled to catch her breath. Soon The Master was packed and ready to go. “That’s one down, two to go,” he reminded her gently, and Rachel nodded, not able to make eye contact.

     “Knock ‘em dead, kid,” he said as he left, and Rachel was alone again.

     Slowly, she picked up her skirt and slipped it on over her pamper. To her dismay, this one seemed even thicker than the last; she frowned when she realized she could see the outline through her skirt. She waddled her way around the back of her desk and practically fell back into her chair. It had been a strange end to a strange morning.

     Frowning, she tried to take her mind off of it by turning her attention to work.

The Humble Games- S02 E01 (Part Three)

Part Three

“Hi, I’m Chad.”

     Oh my God, he’s so hot, Rachel thought to herself, plastering a fake smile on her face and trying to keep her squirming to a minimum as she shook her new boss’ hand. “Nice to meet you,” she said, as cheerily as she could under the circumstances.

     “Well, I’m sure you’re dying to get to it,” he said with amiable sarcasm, “but why don’t I show you around the office a bit first,” he said, rising and leading her toward the main office.

     “Sounds great,” she said with as much enthusiasm as possible, praying that he couldn’t hear her guts burbling and churning.

     “The conference rooms are down here,” he said, gesturing vaguely. Rachel smiled as best she could, trying not to waddle as she kept her butt cheeks clenched tightly—her last defense against having a major, messy accident right in front of Chad. Worse, she realized that the slight crinkle that had been following her around outside was very noticeable inside the quieter parts of the office… Rachel had to carefully match pace with Chad lest he notice the crinkle.

     They paced down hallway after hallway, Chad introducing her to people whose names she would never be able to remember and pointing out the break and bathrooms (Rachel swallowed, the ladies room door taunting her like a mirage in the desert.) Chad was giving her a rundown of some of the security procedures when he abruptly stopped in the middle of the hallway, forcing Rachel to slam on the breaks. She watched him cock his head a bit. “Did you hear something?”

     Rachel’s heart plummeted—she redoubled her efforts to control her bowels and forced a smile. “No, I don’t think so…”

     “Kind of a crinkle, like a plastic bag or something?” he insisted, listening for it. Rachel sweated and forced herself to stand still.

     “Crinkle? No I don’t hear anything like that.”

     He listened for another moment, then shrugged. “Guess I must’ve imagined it,” he said simply. “Anyway, follow me to your office.”

     Rachel nodded and trailed after him as quickly as she could.

     “Well, here you go,” he said at last, showing her into her office. It was modest, but nice, neat—and above all private, which was exactly what Rachel was looking for. She was dripping with sweat, her tummy grumbling and gurgling audibly, and the mess was being held inside her by willpower alone. “We’ve left a couple of proposals on your desk; go over them, take a few notes, and be ready to tell us what you think at the meeting at the end of the day—sound good?”

     “Oh yes—that sounds perfect, thanks,” she said, trying to be as polite as possible as she shooed him out of her office. Poor Rachel was practically prancing in place, and she could feel her sphincter starting to fail.

     “Great! Well I’ll let you get to it. Good luck.”

     “Thanks!” she said, covering a small, involuntary leak from her anus with a little enthusiasm.

     He smiled at her, flashing a set of perfect teeth, and Rachel felt herself swooning… If I shit myself in front of him, she thought, unable to force herself to even contemplate what would happen if she did. At last he disappeared, shutting the door behind him.

     “Oh thank God!” Rachel uttered, sticking her rump out and preparing to cut loose into her diaper…

     The door flew open, and Rachel was so startled she actually leaked a little more poop into her diaper with a gassy accompaniment, but she somehow managed to regain her control. With her buns clenched so tightly they shook, Rachel forced a smile and bleated out a far too enthusiastic “hi!”

     “Just one more thing,” he said, apparently oblivious to her distress. “It’s Walter’s last day today, we’re going for pizza at lunch—we’d love you to come!”

     “Sounds great!” she said through gritted teeth. I’ve got about eight seconds left, she thought, sweating, her anus quivering, and then I’m going to completely explode in this diaper…

     “Terrific! I’ll see you then,” he said, turning to go. He touched the door knob tentatively. “Door open or…?”

     “Closed!” she almost shouted. “Please!” she added sweetly with a smile, praying he wouldn’t notice anything amiss.

     With a grin, he swung it closed behind him. Rachel relaxed her sphincter…

     Instantly she filled her diaper with a large, gooey mess, followed immediately by a noisy, gaseous eruption. “Oh!” she cried softly to herself, sticking out her butt and exploding into the waiting pamper, blushing when she felt it fill and sag with the most embarrassing sounding flatulent accompaniment she’d ever heard. Doubling over with cramps, Rachel gritted her teeth and bore down, going red in the face… she knew, as the strong, distinctive scent of a messy diaper filled the air, that if anyone walked in right now she’d be ruined. But as her body began pushing out another wave of thick, smelly mushiness into the already loaded diaper, she knew she couldn’t make it over to the door to lock it… not until I’m done here, she thought grimly, grunting and filling her diaper noisily.

     At last, she’d relieved herself enough to scurry over to the door, her bulging pamper squishing behind her, diaper crinkling with every step, and lock her door. Immediately Rachel sighed and relaxed a bit—at least she was temporarily safe. What do I do now? She tried to think back to what The Master had told her in her apartment that morning. Remembering the card he’d given her, she waddled over to the desk as fast as she could before rifling through her purse to retrieve the little white square. Eventually she uncovered it and started dialing the number on her phone. She expected to have to beg the Master to come and change her, but she was surprised by being forwarded to an automatic message: Your call has been logged and is now being reported to the appropriate party,” the cool, mechanical female voice informed her. “Your location is being confirmed via GPS and is being forwarded at this moment. You will be visited in timely fashion in the order in which your call was received.”

     The line went dead. Rachel stared at her phone, worried—how long was she going to have to wait? She sighed and waddled around to the back of her desk. “I guess I might as well start reading these proposals while I’m here, she thought with a sigh. She sat slowly in her chair, groaning as she felt the mess squishing beneath her. I just hope he gets here soon, she thought, taking the first bundle of papers from her desk and reading them over with a sigh.

The Humble Games- S02 E01 (Part Two)

As always, please let us know what you think.

Part Two

It had taken her ages to pick out an outfit that was professional enough for the first day of her potentially new job (but loose enough to hide her diaper.) Eventually she settled on a blouse and a skirt that looked professional and alluring but were loose enough to hide her diaper (mostly anyway—she thought she could detect a trace outline in the mirror before she left- she just prayed it wouldn’t be too noticeable.) But now Rachel was making great time on the freeway, and she knew she’d have plenty of time to get there. She was even getting used to the thick, thirsty diaper she had strapped to her rear-end, though the tell-tale crinkle that emerged every time she shifted her butt still made her blush.

     Only now she had a new problem: she’d left in such a hurry, she hadn’t had any time to make breakfast, and now she was starving. What was worse, she felt the strong coffee she’d gulped down earlier burning inside her… and that could mean big problems later in the day, she thought with a blush. She had to get something in her stomach… something to fill her up and soak up a bit of the coffee, before it went nuclear inside her.

     So she quickly pulled into McDonalds, breezed through the line and ordered a sausage McMuffin and (after some torturous internal debate and some scolding from her voice of reason) a small coffee, figuring that it would be fine if she just sipped it slowly throughout the morning.

     But by the time she’d gotten her food and pulled back out on the freeway the traffic had started to thicken, and Rachel cursed her luck, munching her rich, greasy breakfast hungrily and washing it down with dainty sips of coffee. Her head start quickly evaporated, and she studied the clock nervously—it was going to be close. Rachel ate quickly and took anxious gulps of her coffee.

     Soon the coffee that was supposed to last her all morning was half gone. Her hunger was satiated, but now Rachel’s stomach was rumbling for an entirely different reason: the large dose of caffeine she’d consumed in such a short period was making her tummy gurgle and grumble, and she could feel herself getting gassy. Suddenly the car felt very hot, and beads of perspiration were starting to form on her forehead. She turned up the AC and tried to relax, but the burbling in her bowels continued to nag at her. She suddenly realized she’d neglected to have a bowel movement before she’d left, and cursed her luck, frowning about the mess she no doubt had brewing in her… a mess she would now have to make in her diaper, unless she wanted to risk incurring the displeasure of the Game Master. She shivered at the thought, recalling what she’d seen him do to those who’d challenged his authority on TV. Oh God, she thought bitterly, what’ve I gotten myself into?

     Rachel shifted and squirmed her rump uncomfortably. The bulky, crinkly padding around her loins had grown quite hot, and the constant, nearly involuntary wriggling of her bottom in the warm, sweaty confines of her pampers wasn’t bringing any relief. She cranked up the AC, but the inferno was inside her, burning, making her bowels percolate wildly. Her guts felt swollen like an over-stuffed sausage, and her bladder, she realized for the first time, was on the verge of bursting. She fought it as well as she could, but it quickly became apparent that she was going to have to choose between keeping her pampers dry and keeping them clean. It was no choice at all for Rachel—the thought of having to introduce herself around the office with a loaded, stinky diaper under her professional attire was simply too horrible to contemplate. With a long, shaky sigh, she spread her legs and tried to relax and just let go. But her bladder was being stubborn, so she had to push a bit, forcing out a tiny trickle into the soft diaper under her.

     Rachel blushed, the cottony padding beneath her growing warmer and damper by the second as the stream of urine grew stronger. She bored down and pushed, emitting a grunt as she did. Her efforts were rewarded by a strong gush of urine, accompanied by a sizable fart that rumbled nosily, even through the seat of her diaper. “Oh!” she exclaimed quietly, her cheeks flaring quite red. The sense of relief was fantastic, and Rachel allowed herself a soft sigh—her stomach was still giving her trouble, but at least she didn’t have to worry about her bladder anymore.

     No sooner had she finished then the traffic started moving again. Rachel glanced at the clock and breathed a sigh of relief… cars were moving at a decent clip, and it looked like she was going to have plenty of time. Her stomach roared, reminding her of her predicament—quite unnecessarily, in her opinion. Inside, her bowels wear aching, wracked by cramps, and within her diapers she felt the pressure growing and growing. Rachel licked her lips and brushed a sweaty lock of hair from her eyes, weighing her options. She briefly thought about just filling her diaper here in the car, then pulling off someplace to call the Master and get a change, but she quickly nixed that—not only would it make her late, she just couldn’t stand the possibility that someone might catch them in the act… having it show up on the internet after the fact was bad enough. Once she was at work and in her office she could “unload” discretely and phone the Master from there (and just pray he was as quick and quiet as he had been in the kitchen that morning.)

     All well and good… provided she could make it. Rachel sweated, gritting her teeth and clenching her cheeks as tightly as she could, desperately hoping that the pressure would subside… but it didn’t, and she began to have visions of her stomach bursting open. She tried to hold it in, but she’d reached the breaking point… Rachel heard herself pass gas loudly, the gooey, bubbling sound barely muffled by the diaper. She was embarrassed, but her relief compelled her to sigh contentedly.

     She continued on down the freeway like this, maintaining a decent speed and occasionally emitting noisy farts into her diaper whenever the pressure became too much. It was working pretty well, but by the time she’d pulled into the parking lot, Rachel knew she was quickly reaching the end of the line—her next fart could bring disastrous consequences. She got out of her car and wobbled toward the front door as best she could while straining her backside mightily. Rachel cursed, swearing she could hear a small, tell-tale crinkle as she walked.

     Too late to worry about it now, she told herself, forcing a smile on her face as she pushed inside.

The Humble Games-- Season Two, Episode One (Part One)

It probably goes without saying, but there were some problems behind the scenes of the Humble Games-- simply put, one of our players had to bail and kind of left us in the lurch. I tried to keep it together, but I guess by this point it's pretty obvious that it's done. I might recast the abandoned role some time, but as of now it seems dead.

     But there’s good news too: Season two of the Humble Games begins today. This is a streamlined version of the competition where single players compete in customized challenges—and in this version, The Master comes to you. Huge thanks to the amazing Rachel for volunteering to be my guinea pig and allowing me to use her likeness in creating this story-- I hope you enjoy it, Rachel!

     Again, I'm sorry season one sputtered out like that and I know that some of you will be disappointed, but I hope this makes up for it.

Part One

The alarm screeched, and Rachel awoke with a groan. Sunlight stabbed through the openings in the curtains, slashing a burning line across her face. She emitted another groan and rolled over, desperate to get out of the cursed light, shuddering at the thought of another day pounding the pavement for a job, but she knew she couldn’t hide from it forever—her savings were rapidly dwindling, and the prospect of throwing in the towel and going home empty handed was beginning to look more likely with every passing day.

     So, with a groan, she hauled herself out of bed and padded toward the bathroom in her PJ’s. She climbed into the shower and let the warm water energize her… but she was still nauseous at the thought of another day pouring through the trades, fruitlessly seeking the job that was right for her.

     It wasn’t like there was nothing available, of course. Even in the rarified atmosphere of the entertainment industry there were always jobs of some type to be had… But Rachel was a girl with big aspirations. She knew she was destined for great things… and people who were destined for great things didn’t fetch coffee or write dialogue for puppies on kid shows. She knew if she could get a chance to do to do something important, if she just had the opportunity, she could make her dreams come true.

     She threw on her bathrobe and went out into the kitchen with a sigh. Rachel padded toward the fridge, throwing open the door and resuming the age old debate about what to eat for breakfast: some healthy yoghurt or some of that yummy pizza from last—

     “Congratulations Rachel.”

     With a shriek, Rachel slammed the door and spun around quickly, clasping her robe closed with one hand as she did. She didn’t know how she’d missed the man sitting at the table when she’d first entered the room, but there he was… and what’s more, he was accompanied by a very attractive young woman wearing a very proper maid’s outfit. She was about to scream, but somehow managed to hold it inside… now that she looked, he did seem oddly familiar.  Rachel was sure she’d seen him before somewhere.

     Anyway, she was sure he wasn’t a burglar… not in that suit. And the woman certainly wouldn’t be much of a partner in crime in that get-up. He gave her a game-show smile, and now she was positive she knew him from somewhere. “You’ve been selected to be the first to participate in a bold, new experiment.”

     She gaped at him for a long second before stammering one of about a dozen questions rolling around her head. “How did you get in here?”

     He simply ignored her, pressing on. “Rachel, do you remember a few weeks ago when you filled out a certain… application online?”

     She thought back, puzzled. “You mean a job application? Are you here to offer me a job?” she asked excitedly, suddenly not caring who he was or how he got in.

     He smiled sardonically—Rachel felt an involuntary chill. “In a manner of speaking… but no, I’m not talking about a job application, Rachel… I’m talking about the other application you filled out recently.”

     Now she was really confused. Not a job application? Then what could he possibly be talking about? She watched his maid pour him a cup of coffee, watched him sip it slowly… there was just something so familiar about him…

     And then it came back to her. “Oh,” she said, filled with an odd combination of exhilaration and abject panic. “You mean…?”

     “That’s right, Rachel…” The Game Master said with his usual dramatic flourish, “Prepare to be the first contestant on The Humble Games Season Two!”

     Rachel frowned. “I thought that show got canceled—”

     “Network politics!” he hissed bitterly. “It was a rating triumph… a juggernaut, young lady, cut down by small minded fools and P.C. hatchet men…”

     “I thought you got sued?”

     “That matter is on appeal and I’m not at liberty to discuss it,” he said briskly, “Anyway, we’ve found a new home now—this new series will be exclusively on the internet, where we can bring the goods directly to the audience, totally uncensored.”

     “Uncensored?” Rachel asked nervously. She thought back to the show when it had been on the air, how she’d denounced it in public while devouring it in private. It was totally bizarre, unlike anything on TV… and she was addicted. Her rational mind recoiled in horror at the sight of so-called “naughty” women being infantilized on national TV… but there was something deep inside her that thrilled at it, relished their complete public humiliation-- laying awake at night obsessing about it… sometimes, she even imagined herself in those situations and felt and icy-hot prickle of guilty, embarrassed arousal…

     “The rules are a little different this year—each episode will focus on an individual contestant, who must complete an assigned task or challenge, each one tailored to your specific personality. Successful completion of the challenge wins you a wish (to be granted at my discretion.) Fail or deviate from the rules,” he smiled happily, relishing the thought, “and believe me…. It’ll be my pleasure to personally dole out your punishment.”

     Rachel shivered visibly: she knew what kind of punishment she was in for if she failed—hadn’t she watched it happen to other women who’d appeared on the show… in fact, hadn’t she gloried in their abject public embarrassment? Part of her wanted to call it off right there… but when was she ever going to get another opportunity like this dumped into her lap? She set her jaw and resolved to at least hear what he had in mind.

     “What kind of a challenge?” she asked hesitantly. He smiled like a fox, and Rachel felt another shiver ripple through her body.

     “You mentioned in your application that you were seeking a job in the entertainment industry,” he began smoothly. “I’ve used my contacts to procure you a job at one of the major development firms…”

     “Ah, let me stop you right there,” Rachel interrupted, eager to seize back a little control here of the situation. “I should probably mention here that I’m strictly a behind the scenes kind of gal… sure, I don’t mind participating in this little production here, but I have absolutely no intention of starring in The Adventures of Diapergirl if that’s what you had in mind, buster.”

     That’s right, she told herself, you’re in control here. Act like you don’t need this creep or his job… Rachel smiled internally. Set your boundaries, she told herself, squaring her shoulders, and let him know you’re in charge. After all—he needs me more than I need him she told herself, not quite believing it.

     But he surprised her: “Nothing like that,” he promised, “This is a job in development. It’s not much, but it could be a springboard to bigger things for you—if you successfully complete your task, that is.”

    “…I’m listening,” she said, worried, but determined to see what he had in mind.

     “As I was saying: you would be required to make it through an entire day at your new job, show them what you can do, prove that you’re up to playing in the big leagues.”

     “Hah!” Rachel laughed confidently. “Is that all? I was born ready!”

     “Oh, did I neglect to mention that you’d be wearing… this?” With a dramatic move of his hands, he produced a fluffy, white square made from crinkly plastic from thin air. Rachel instantly knew it was a diaper. “For the duration of the day, you will be forbidden to use the potty. When you’re ready for a change you may call me at this number,” he said, laying a card out on the table. “However, I must warn you that you’ll only have three changes, so be sure to use them wisely.”

     Rachel hesitated… “Hmm… I don’t know…”

     “It’s up to you, of course… however, you must make your decision quickly since they are expecting you at 9:00 sharp…”

     Rachel looked at the clock with a gasp—if she wanted in, she had to speak now. She agonized over it for one last moment before blurting “OK I’ll do it!”

     She regretted it almost instantly. “Outstanding! I knew you had it in you! Oh Rachel,” he grinned, making her gulp, “I just know you’re going to be lots of fun!

     “This should save some time,” he said, and with a flick of his wrists the diapers were gone. Rachel squinted… it looked as he’d used some kind of sleight of hand to replace the diaper with what looked like a pair of women’s panties… with little ducks on them. That’s funny, she thought, I’ve got a pair like that. In fact, I’m wearing them right…

     Her jaw suddenly dropped, and Rachel gave an experimental wiggle of her butt. A noisy, plastic crinkle and increased bulk between her legs confirmed what she suspected… Holy crap, I’m in diapers!

     “Neat trick, huh?” the Master said, pleased with himself. He tossed the panties across the room, and Rachel absently grabbed them and stuffed them in the pocket of her robe. He snapped his fingers; the maid produced another cup and started pouring. “Care to join me for an espresso to celebrate?”

     Rachel hesitated… she knew that coffee had a tendency to irritate her stomach, and caffeine stimulated her bladder. She knew she should resist, thinking of the stressful day she had ahead of her. But with the diaper wrapped tightly around her waist, it’s thick, cottony bulk between her thighs spreading her legs obscenely… it all just made her feel so infantile. Desperate to assert her adulthood and try and regain some control of the situation, she pushed her doubts out of her mind and sat across from him.

     “Don’t mind if I do,” she said, nonchalantly, waiting for the maid to fill her cup. She brought the cup to her lips and drank deeply. The coffee was rich, it’s flavor strong in her mouth. It was hot and good and very strong… she felt it settle in her stomach, a warm, slightly acidic ball in the pit of her belly. Rachel was beginning to regret drinking it already… but it was too late.

     With a smile, the Master rose and went toward the door, the maid trailing behind him. “Good luck, Rachel,” he said, letting himself out.

     Rachel sat at the table for a long moment, just squirming her bottom on the hard plastic chair, feeling the diaper squish beneath her curvy rump, listening to the soft crinkle that emerge with her every move. She began to worry that she’d made a huge mistake…

     … But she realized she’d have to worry about it later: she didn’t have much time before she had to leave, and she still had to find something that wouldn’t reveal her diaper to her new co-workers. She got up from the table and scurried as fast as her bulky diaper would allow into her room and began rooting through her closet.

Day Three Act Two

      Destiny wriggled nervously in her patent leather Mary-Janes, trying to ignore the throngs of people ogling their little group from afar. Even at the height of her show's fame, she'd never felt more popular... And she had never hoped more that she wouldn't be recognized. She knew that she looked ridiculous - the maids had tied her hair into pigtails and then put her into a pink bib-front jumper dress lined in white lace, short enough to leave a good portion of her bulging diaper exposed, a short-sleeved, peter-pan collared white shirt beneath that, and mismatched pink and yellow lace-topped ankle socks under her black Mary-Janes, not to mention the stupid pacifier clipped to the front of her dress - but if somebody did happen to see her and realize who she was, she would be acting even more ridiculous than that. 

     Destiny wouldn't stay like this for longer than she had to. She couldn't. Anyone who tuned into this show would see her like this, sure, but if she had to, she'd tell people it was all a big practical joke, or a lookalike, or something... But she couldn't do that if she had to wear diapers all the time, which meant she couldn't lose this challenge. And if that meant she had to put up with poopy Brittany, then so be it. They'd just have to hurry so the big baby didn't have any accidents and fill both of their pants.

     “Here are your lists players,” said the master. “I think you’ll find the level of difficulty rangers from easy to—advanced,” he said, smiling ominously. “Here are your lists and credit cards,” he said, handing an envelope to Lucy and Brittany (which Destiny quickly snatched away.)  “The clock is ticking ladies,” he said with a smile, turning and exiting through the front doors.

     The envelopes were torn open… Destiny quickly pocketed the Master Card. Not knowing exactly what to expect, she tentatively lifted the list to see what they were looking for first: A book by Dr. Seuss. "That's not too bad," she mused. "Come on, to the bookstore!"

     "Come on," she hissed, grabbing Brittany's hand and pulling her away from their little group. She still wasn't used to the bulk of the diaper between her legs, rustling softly with every step, so she couldn't quite run, but she waddled as quickly as she could manage, dragging the other girl behind her. "Can't you go any faster?" she fumed. "Do you want us to lose?" She knew she really should be nicer to her, but it seemed like Brittany should really be more used to walking in diapers by now. 

     She tried to pick up the pace even more as they began having to navigate around and through the crowds of people clogging the mall, keeping her head down and praying she wasn't stopped by an old fan. She wasn't sure how far the mental regression the Master had mentioned would last, or if it would prevent them from remembering their mission, but she did know that it was bound to slow them down a little and she wasn't about to stand for that. Still, it was a bit disheartening that, even when she was the center of attention - or so she assumed, considering all the jeers and laughter being aimed her way - none of the many people packed between her and her destination seemed to know who she was. She told herself that they just couldn't believe that it -could- be her, and that hopefully it would stay that way, but it still deflated her pride just a bit.

     Finally, they made it to the Barnes and Noble, where Destiny had to pause for a moment. "Which way is the kids' section?" she wondered out loud. To be honest, she mostly only went to Barnes and Noble for the Starbucks, and if she wandered over to the book section, it was to find a present for someone else. Even then, she usually didn't bother looking herself, just waiting until she spotted a worker and making them go get it for her.

     "They're in the back," Brittany rolled her eyes, taking lead for once as she guided Destiny through the store. Destiny had never been this far into the store before, and she was a bit surprised to see how large the kid's section was, and how ornate compared to the rest of the store. There were nice, comfy looking armchairs in a few spots throughout the rest of the store, but here there were brightly covered tables and chairs all around, puzzles and trains and other toys spread out on them for kids to play with, and hopefully talk their parents into buying. 

     "All right, then," Destiny said, "Now where are the Dr. Seuss books?" 

     Brittany didn't have such a clear answer to that, so the two decided to split up and start looking. Destiny quickly remembered why she didn't bother looking for books on her own - there were just so many packed onto the shelves that the titles all began to run together before long, and it was even worse here, where the books were so much smaller and thinner than in most of the rest of the store. She didn't see any workers around to do it for her, either, though when she looked around she did notice how many stares she and Brittany were receiving from the kids and their parents, which only made her want to move more quickly.

     When she tried to do so, however, she ran right into a little boy, the bulk between her legs throwing off her balance and making her fall onto her thickly padded backside, arms flailing, while the kid managed to steady himself. The fall didn't hurt, thanks to the diaper, but that didn't stop her from snapping at the boy, "Watch where you're going!"

     "I was just standing here," the kid said defensively before obviously looking at her diaper while she scrambled to her feet. He ran off without apologizing, which left Destiny fuming as she resumed her search, until he returned a moment later with a slightly younger girl in tow. "See?" he said to the girl. "She's still in diapers, just like you were."

     Destiny spun around to glare at the two, furious to see that the new arrival looked to be no more than three or four, clutching a book to her chest as she stared at Destiny. "I am not like you!" Destiny insisted. "I am a grown woman, and I don't need these stupid things!"

     "But you're wearing them," the boy pointed out.

     "Yeah, and I don't need them no more!" the girl added, looking rather proud of herself.

     "Well, I haven't needed them in... in... longer than you've been alive!" Destiny fumed. 

     "Why are you wearing them?" the little girl asked.

     "You wouldn't understand," Destiny glowered.

     "You look like one of my dolls," the girl observed.

     Destiny was really starting to get annoyed with this delay. "Would you two buzz off? Go bother someone else! I am very busy, and..." It was only then that she noticed the author's name on the book the girl was holding. "Hey, where did you get that?" The girl shrugged. "Oh, come on!" Destiny rolled her eyes. "Where did it come from?!"

      "Stop yelling at her!" the boy demanded, as if Destiny cared what some kindergartener wanted her to do. 

     "Fine, then just give it here!" Destiny ordered, reaching out to take the book from the girl, only for her child to back away. "You can get another one, but I need that now!" She lunged for it again, and the girl ran behind the little boy. "Come on, you little brat! I'm in a hurry!"

     "You leave my sister alone!" the boy exclaimed, glaring up at Destiny defiantly.

     "Listen here, pipsqueak, I am an adult, and you should do what I say, and I want that book!"

     "You don't look like an adult," the boy pointed out.

      "You look like a baby," the girl piped up, peeking out from behind her brother.

      "Shut up!" Destiny pouted indignantly. "I'm not a baby, you're a baby! You're just a stupid little baby, and I bet you can't even read yet, so you don't even need the book! Just give it to me! Give it to me n...!"

      Destiny was cut off by the feeling of a hand clamping around her wrist, turning her around away from the children. "What do you think you're doing, young lady?" a woman asked sternly.

      "I need that book, and these dumb little brats won't let me have it, or tell me where they got it, and..." Destiny tried to explain, hoping that by getting someone who looked more like a grown-up - and this woman did look quite a bit more mature than she did in her current outfit, she had to admit - on her side, the children would listen to her.

     Instead, the woman said, "This is my son and daughter, and you're acting more like a child than either of them. If either of them threw a tantrum in the middle of a store like that, I would take them over my knee right then and there."

     "Well, obviously you should," Destiny sniffed. "It's just what they need."

     "Yes," the woman mused. "I think you're right." With that, the woman yanked Destiny over to one of the larger chairs along the edge of the room, for the parents, and sat down, tugging a struggling Destiny over her legs. 

      At first, Destiny was in denial, but as soon as she was pulled into position, she knew exactly where this was going. "You can't do this!" she wailed, kicking her legs and trying to get up, the woman easily forcing her back down. "No, you can't...!"

     The first spank was rather loud against the plastic backing of the diaper, loud enough to make up for how little of the impact actually made it through the padding. Destiny's cheeks burned, as she was sure the sound was loud enough to attract the attention of everyone in the store, as if she really wanted more people staring at her in this awful predicament."Stop it!" she whined. "You have no right..."

      "You really are quite the little brat, aren't you?" the woman asked, delivering another couple swats to the seat of the diaper. 

     "I am not a brat, I am a grown woman, and I will not allow some bitch to do this to me in the middle of a store!" Destiny huffed.

      "You definitely need this," the woman said. "You'll be lucky if I don't drag you to the bathroom after and wash your mouth out with soap. Clearly you have no idea how a 'grown woman' is supposed to act in public, as if your clothes didn't already prove that. You're acting like a bratty little toddler, and I've already heard what you think those need." The woman gave the girl's diaper a few more thwacks, then, to Destiny's horror, began to pull down the rear of the diaper, just enough to leave her pink posterior exposed.

     "No!" Destiny squeaked. "You can't!"

     "Be quiet, young lady, or I'll get the hairbrush out of my purse."

     "You wouldn't dare!" Destiny spat at the woman without thinking. And at first, it seemed she was right, as the woman smacked her bottom with her hand, the impact far more painful now without the protection of her diaper, against a bottom still slightly sore from her spanking that first day. The woman let the sting of the first one sit for just a moment before she continued, deftly delivering blows across the entirety of the girl's backside before pausing for just a moment while Destiny squirmed and sniffled, thinking that surely the worst was over.

     The next swat showed her just how wrong she was. It was much harder and more painful, and definitely not delivered by a bare hand. "Stooop!" she whined, but that only egged the woman on as she liberally applied the hairbrush to the naughty girl's jiggling bottom. Destiny knew her cries and protests had to be attracting attention, so she was sure somebody was going to break this up, and yet no relief came. People had to be noticing her, seeing her lying there, being soundly spanked, but they weren't helping. Was that some of the Master's magic? Or... did they just think that she deserved this?

     It didn't take long for the hairbrush to bring her to tears, reducing her desperate demands to wordless wails, and once she had reached that point, the woman slowed down, then finally stopped, gently tugging the thick diaper back up over Destiny's warm, stinging bottom. She lifted the girl off her lap, getting her to her feet before standing herself and taking her hand, leading her to the corner of the kids' section. Destiny's heart thump as she realized what was going on, but she didn't dare try to tell the woman what she could and couldn't do again. Once the woman had stuck Destiny's nose in the corner, she grabbed the pacifier dangling from the front of her dress and forced it into her mouth, then, with one final swat to the back of the girl's diaper, left her alone there.

     Destiny could hardly believe what had happened. She had just been spanked, in public, by a complete stranger, then put in the corner like a bad little girl. And she didn't even dare to move from the spot, not knowing if the woman was still there, watching, or what she would do to Destiny if she moved. Destiny knew she needed to get back to looking for the book, but she was too scared to move a muscle to do anything but nervously suck on the large rubber bulb that had been shoved into her mouth. What if the woman kept her there all afternoon? Destiny didn't trust Brittany to be able to finish the list by herself, so they would lose, and she'd go right from this humiliation to whatever an adult baby pageant entailed. She wasn't sure, but she definitely didn't like the sound of it.

     She jumped as, a few minutes later, she felt a hand on her shoulder, afraid it was one of the kids, or their mother, back for more. Instead, it was Brittany. "Come on, let's go. I got the book."

     "I can't," Destiny whimpered. "Sh-she put me in the corner, and I..."

     "She left, Destiny. Now come on, we need to hurry."

     Tentatively, Destiny turned her head, looking around to see that, indeed, the woman and her brood had vanished. She still felt rather anxious as she turned all the way around, as if the woman was going to just pop out of the woodwork for a second round, so Brittany took the still-dazed girl's hand and led her back through the store. Destiny rubbed the back of her diaper with a wince, blushing; glad that it was their digestive systems and not urinary systems that were linked, or else Brittany might have noticed just how scared she had been when Brittany had come up behind her just then.

     While Destiny struggled to regain her composure, Brittany took the book up to till. The clerk, a cute young guy who was about her age, eyed Brittany with open disbelief as he rang the book up. Brittany just blushed and handed her the credit card. She shifted for foot to foot, vividly aware that people were staring. Her legs, bare between the top of her ankle socks and the leg bands of her diapers, were starting to get chilly.

     “Are you pledging a sorority?” the boy asked, grinning at her.

     “No,” she answered, kicking herself when she realized she’d just rebuffed probably the only reasonable reason why she’d be dressed in this ridiculous getup.

     “Oh.” He said, a little surprised as he looked her up and down.

     “It’s—I—work for a nursery,” she began lamely, “this is a… promotion we’re doing.”

     “Oh… I was kind of curious…” The clerk admitted, putting the book into the bag.

     “Yeah, it’s… it’s pretty embarrassing,” Brittany admitted, cursing her luck… why did I have to meet this guy now? She thought ruefully.

     “Hey, don’t worry—it’s an extreme look, but somehow you manage to pull it off…”

     Brittany giggled, feeling relaxed for the first time in days.

In the distance, Destiny watched them chat and brooded.

     What’s taking so long? She fumed impatiently. Wait a minute… is she flirting with that guy?!

     Destiny was incredulous—what the hell was she doing? Didn’t she realize that the clock was ticking? Every second that slipped by, they were getting closer and closer to diapers full time! She would never admit that her rage was partially fueled by jealousy, that she could hardly believe anyone would bother to hit on that silly little common glorified babysitter. If we lose this scavenger hunt because she was picking up guys, Destiny thought grumpily, I’lll…

     Her stomach gurgled, and she realized she was starting to feel gassy. At first she was embarrassed… but then she thought back to what the master had said about their digestive systems being linked… did that go both ways? Maybe there was a way to get a little relief for herself, and hurry Brittany along at the same time, With a naughty smile, she bit her lip and strained a bit, glad now that there was nobody around her, admiring her, as a loud fart emanated from beneath her thickly padded bottom.

     From the corner of her eye, Brittany could see Destinys distress, but she’s spent the last couple of nights thinking that her dating life was over, the attention made her forget herself.  She noticed Destiny seemed to be concentrating on something… her nose wrinkled and her brow furrowed in an adorable way… as though she was straining…

     Brittany watched as Destiny’s face suddenly slackened. Instantly, a huge, rumbling fart emerged from the seat of Brittany’s diaper, and she knew right away what Destiny had been up to. Brittany's face dropped as her bowels let her down again, a small, but gooey squirt of poop jetting into the seat of her diaper. The charming salesman jested "Maybe it’s good you're covered hahaha" his tone made Brittany feel a little better. She blushed and giggled nonetheless. "Uh....are you okay" asked the clerk.

     Brittany , now used to the humiliation, replied calmly "yea.”  She paused briefly to turn and glare childishly at Destiny, who grinned mischievously. The message couldn’t have been clearer— get a move on or that fart was just the beginning.

      “Are you sure you’re OK?” The clerk reiterated "it looks like maybe you..."

     Brittany cut him off "I'm sorry I can't help it, can you please hurry?"

     The boy quickly finished bagging her book and handed her the bag. Brittany’s head hung low as she waddled back to Destiny.

     Destiny smiled as she saw Brittany squirm and blush up ahead of her, feeling quite proud of herself... for a moment. As it turned out, forcing an incontinent little brat to fart was perhaps not the brightest idea, and Destiny gasped as she felt the consequences, Brittany's weakened muscles causing her own to squeeze a little mess out into the seat of her own diaper. She blushed, sure for a moment that she had caused Brittany, and thus both of them, to have a full blown accident, but luckily just a little squirt was all that happened.

     Still, it was enough. To anyone who might have been watching, it would have looked like she had quite intentionally made the mess, since they'd have had no idea that she and Brittany were linked as they were. This little adventure had barely started, and her diaper was already wet and dirty, if just a little of each, enough to remind her that she'd done them with every squishy, sticky step. She told herself that this didn't count as her pooping her pants yet again, because it was the other girl's fault, but it was hard to keep that in mind as she shifted her weight back and forth, waiting for Brittany.

      Her cheeks were still a deep red when Brittany came back over to her, not looking so pleased herself. Hoping that perhaps Brittany hadn't realized that the fart that had started the mini-disaster that had happened in their diapers hadn't come from her, she rolled her eyes and mumbled, "Thanks a lot!" before taking Brittany's hand and pulling her out of the store.
