This is probably my favorite type of setup - where everyone knows they're going to get messy and watches as one-by-one their friends get messy first. I love the shock reaction of a clean person to their messy friend, as if saying "oh my god, that's about to be me!"
Not to plug too gratuitously, but my first fiction story has a similar "one by one" concept. https://umd.net/stories/the-wedding-reception Maybe at some point in the next century I'll get around to finishing one of my half-dozen unfinished sequels/prequels.
Love you, too
