Ever since Colin's trip to the fetish clinic in Scandinavia his life had taken a decidedly upward turn. He'd started dating his beautiful colleague Lily and had introduced her to WAM. She'd loved it from the get-go and the pair regularly engaged in wet and messy play as a prelude to sex. But, recently their love life had become somewhat humdrum and Colin was looking for ideas to spice it up.

So, he was very excited when he saw an online announcement for an upcoming WAM convention. It was being held over two days and included an exhibition, demonstrations, celebrity appearances, special screenings, merchandise and a panel discussion. Colin thought it sounded very interesting and hopefully just the thing to get himself and Lily out of their rut. He pulled out his credit card and immediately booked tickets for both.

* * *

The convention was being held at a large hotel in a small coastal town about two hours' drive from Colin's home. Unfortunately, he hadn't realised until a week to go before the event that the tickets he'd bought didn't include overnight accommodation. Colin tried booking a room at the same hotel but they'd all gone, so instead had to settle for a nearby bed and breakfast.

They had travelled to the B&B early, parked up and put their suitcases in their room before walking to the hotel. It was a short walk and the hotel was easy to find especially with the huge "WAM Convention" banner hanging outside and the small crowd of people waiting to go in. Colin and Lily had to queue for ten minutes or so but after showing their tickets and receiving an updated programme they walked into the convention.

"Wow, I didn't realise it would be so big!" Colin exclaimed.

The exhibition hall was pretty large, and Colin estimated there must be at least a hundred different booths in it. Many booths seemed to be advertising subscription-based access to streaming services but there were also ones selling WAM related merchandise.

Lily went over to a nearby booth selling t-shirts whilst Colin checked over the updated programme. He noted that there were a pair of female clowns scheduled to perform in the Burgundy room shortly and started looking around for where that might be. Luckily the room was well signposted and wasn't far from where they were already located.

"Look what I got" Lily announced returning with her purchase.

She held out a pale pink t-shirt emblazoned with the words 'Just Desserts Cafe' and a cartoon image of a young man receiving a pie in the face. Colin gave the shirt a thumbs up before escorting Lily to the Burgundy room. There were already a small group of people waiting inside who seemed to be gathered around an attractive woman with purple hair and tattoos running up and down both arms.

Colin didn't recognise the woman but according to his programme her name was Kate Johnson and she hosted a late-night entertainment show as well as being a former pop star. After a few minutes Kate walked towards the rear of the room before turning to face the growing number of people present.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to ..." she began her introduction.

Suddenly two women dressed in dungarees and carrying tins of paint entered the room. The first was a tall brunette whilst the second was shorter and blonde. The pair put their tins down on the floor and producing paint brushes from their pockets, proceeded to start painting one of the sides walls a vibrant shade of green. Kate glared at the two women before returning her attention to her audience.

"Now as I was saying, Ladies..." Kate said, restarting her monologue.

As Kate continued speaking, the audience's focus was split between her and the women painting. There was a growing expectation that something was about to happen and sure enough the tall painter soon found herself straying too close to her colleague. She "accidentally" wiped a brush laden with green paint down the shorter woman's bare arm.

The woman was slow to react and by the time she did her taller colleagues had stepped away. She looked around accusingly before shrugging her shoulders and going back to painting the wall. Twice more the taller woman wiped paint on her colleague before the shorter woman realised what was going on. Not happy, she took her brush and proceeded to wipe it across her colleague's bottom.

This began a tit for tat exchange between the two painters. The taller woman dipped her brush in a tin of paint before wiping it up and down her colleague's face. Her shorter colleague responded doing the same to her, except for wiping the brush from side to side across her face rather than up and down. The audience began to chuckle at the women's antics whilst Kate pretended to ignore them.

"... will be an interesting ..." Kate continued to drone on.

The fight between the two painters began to escalate as the taller woman picked up a tin of blue paint and poured it over her colleagues only to receive a tin of yellow paint thrown in her face moments later. She retaliated by picking up a tin of red paint and pulling out the front of the shorter woman's dungarees, she poured the paint down her colleague's generous cleavage.

The shorter women went to pick up the final run of paint, but her colleague had the same idea. The two women lifted up the tin between them and began to struggle back and forth for possession; one second it looked as if the shorter woman was winning and the next her taller colleague appeared to be triumphant.

"... you all enjoy yourselves!" Kate finished her announcement.

At that moment the two painters abandoned their fight with one another and stepping up behind Kate poured black paint all over her. Then to the laughter and applause of those present the two women rammed the empty paint tin over Kate's head before taking their bows and departing.

* * *

Colin and Lily were still chuckling as they made their way back into the exhibition area. It had been pretty obvious from the start that the two painters were clowns but involving Kate at the end of their routine had come as a bit of a surprise. Colin wondered if Kate had known she was going to get covered in paint and if so, had she gotten messy before.

Meanwhile, the pair began browsing some of the booths. Lily drew Colin over to one with a large plasma screen repeatedly showing a man celebrating his birthday and getting pied by a waitress and then by his two female colleagues. Colin remembered seeing the footage some time ago when it went viral on social media, but Lily seemed to have missed it. But, both agreed that it must have been staged.

The booth itself was mainly selling blu-rays with compilations of television shows and internet videos. Lily expressed her disbelief at the bewildering number of gameshows with gunge in the title; there was Gunge Connection, Gunge Gauge, Gunge Showdown and Kingdom of Gunge to name just a few. There was even a copy of the pilot episode of The Great British Pie Fight.

"I wonder if gameshow hosts are born or made?" Lily pondered aloud.

Colin had never really thought about that before: maybe it came naturally to them or maybe they needed to train and if who did they practice upon. However, his train of thought was broken when he noticed the signed autobiographies of Gwen Martin on far end of the booth. Gwen was the sexy assistant on Messy Anguish who seemed to take great delight in dishing out messy forfeits to the poor contestants. Colin would have bought a copy, but the price was totally outrageous.

"Can we get something to drink?" Lily asked.

Colin thought that was an excellent suggestion and so the pair wandered off to find the cafeteria.

* * *

In the end their drink turned into a full meal as the queue for the cafeteria was rather long and after waiting twenty minutes, Colin decided to order some food as well rather than having to queue again later. Lily whispered into Colin's ear that she was surprised that they didn't have custard pies for sale considering the nature of the convention. He agreed but guessed that the hotel didn't want random pie fights breaking out.

The seating in the cafeteria was also rather limited so they ended up having to share a table with a woman. She appeared to be in her late thirties or early forties and after a while introduced herself to the couple. Her name was Denise and like Colin and Lily this was the first time she's attended the convention, having only recently become more open about her wet and messy fetish.

They spent quite a bit of time chatting with one another which only ended when Colin realised what time it was. He had booked Lily and himself for a screening of some old video footage which was due to start soon. Lily quickly made her excuses and the pair got up.

"Nice to have met you" Colin said, by way of goodbye.

Colin and Lily made their way through the exhibition hall to the screening room. Inside there were five rows of seating with about a dozen chairs per row: most of which were already occupied. Lily spotted a couple of spare seats on the far side of the room, so they made their way over. They had just sat down when a short, bearded man stepped out in front of the audience.

"Hello everyone," he began. "What we have for you this afternoon is a very rare recording of an auction involving some amateur models. Now unfortunately we don't have a location or date for the event but judging by the quality of the recording it is at least a couple of decades old. I hope you enjoy it."

The lights dimmed, and a ceiling mounted projector started showing casting images on the front wall. The footage showed two attractive and smartly dressed women standing on a raised stage in front of a crowd of mostly men in what looked to be a village hall. The sound quality was appalling, and it was impossible to hear what was actually being said.

One of the women appeared to be talking to the audience and every now and again one of them would walk up on to the stage, pick up a pie from a nearby trolley and hit the other women with it. She received pies to the face and chest before getting spanked with a few pies. Next came a bucket of custard over her head before the woman stripped down to her underwear.

The video showed a tall red-haired man pieing the woman's chest before she removed her bra and he pied her now bare breasts. Another member of the audience thrust a pie into her crotch. Then the woman was joined by two other women, both of whom also seemed to have been the recipient of the odd pie or two.

The three women stood in line whilst they were pied by a female member of the audience. Then the three messy women ganged up on the woman who had been talking. They pied and stripped her, before covering her in custard. The four women then bowed to the audience before leaving the stage. At that point the video stopped, and the lights came back up in the screening room.

"Well wasn't that something?" the short, bearded man asked.

The audience began applauding. Colin joined in as he'd rather liked the video even with the dodgy sound, and just wished he could have been there to pie the women himself. Looking over at those present, he guessed that many had the same thought. The convention did ask for feedback from attendees so maybe he should suggest that they stage a re-enactment of the auction in the future.

People started getting up and leaving. Colin and Lily waited a few minutes until the room was clearer before getting up themselves and departing.

Most of the stalls were winding down when they got back into the exhibition hall, and some had already shut for the day. There was however one guy still working hard and extolling the virtues of his merchandise. With little else to see, Colin and Lily wandered over to his stall to take a look. He was selling comics and artwork with a WAN focus.

Colin picked up a comic book and flicked through it. The first story seemed to be about slapstick prone superhero whilst the next as was the messy adventures of a spy. Lily meanwhile looked through some of the individual images for sale. She eventually settled on one showing a man strapped to a kitchen chair being messed up what appeared to be his two female housemates.

"This gives me an idea" Lily whispered into Colin's ear.

Colin put down the comic and looked more closely at the image Lily was holding. Whilst he usually preferred to be the one doing the messing, he wasn't averse to it being the other way around. He particularly liked the fact that one of the women in the image was only wearing a black bra and leggings whilst she sat astride her victim. They purchased the artwork and headed off.

* * *

Colin was still disappointed that they hadn't been able to stay at the hotel and attend the concention dinner, especially when he saw a couple of guys delivering three crates labelled "Fresha Pies" to the hotel reception. Still, Lily didn't seem too upset at missing the dinner and had promised Colin a little messy fun of their own when they got back to the bed and breakfast.

The end of day one.
