The Release Form !

The local paper was much more of an online presence these days than a physical copy and so Verity's dispatch was already available for people to peruse at the gala dinner that evening.

'Fat and Overweight : Revealed, the Real Reason for Local Woman's Naked Run !' screamed the headline. "But everyone who saw you knows you're not fat" Carol tried to console her friend. "So that's supposed to make me feel better ? Hundreds of people saw me naked and so know I'm not fat ?"

There was a sub headline further down the report. 'Attention Seeking Flop's Crazed Outburst !'

"You shouted at her ?" asked Carol as she read. "I shouted but not at her" Debbi explained. "But I did tell her to go ahead and print what she liked."

"Well, it seems she took you at your word" said Carol. She turned to James who had been sitting there quietly. "Can't we report Diane to the police ?" Debbi objected and James explained. "It's not exactly the crime of the century is it ? And actually, even if we could prove it, I'm not sure any offence has been committed. Those suits can be bought legally and it would just be looked on as a prank that Debbi could be said to have gone along with, since she carried on running in the nude anyway."

"Humph !" muttered Carol but she couldn't carry on the discussion because the MD was about to make his welcoming speech. While he did so, clips from the video of the day's events were playing soundlessly on the screen behind him. "Don't forget this video of the day is freely available online. Be sure to share with friends and family" he was saying. This apparently harmless remark was greeted by uproarious laughter. Surprised, the MD glanced behind him to see what had engendered such a response and was met by the sight of Debbi slumped on all fours at the end of the 800 meters with her bum in the air and asshole and pussy clearly visible !

"Ah, yes, I see. Diane, maybe we need to censor some of the output ?" he asked the woman sitting with him at the top table. This thought was accompanied by loud boos and cries of 'no' from the audience. "I don't see any need" Diane responded. "All the competitors signed release forms allowing the content to be freely disseminated" she argued. "Ah, yes, quite. Well I guess we can let it go then" the MD agreed, to loud cheers from most of the crowd.

"Did you sign a release ?" Carol asked Debbi. "I signed something but I didn't read it. I assumed it was for insurance in case we injured ourselves or something" Debbi answered. "There's got to be a way to get back at her" asserted Carol, infuriated by the smug grin cast in their direction by Diane from her spot on the top table. "Carol, we've been here before and it always backfires" warned Debbi. "Yes I know but...."

Note to readers : After 600 chapters I've again reached the point where I don't currently have any plot line in mind to continue, though I feel there must be more indignities for Debbi ( and Carol ? ) to suffer. So, I'm asking for ideas of any situations not yet covered. Variations on a theme would be considered but I don't want to get too repetitive. Send a PM or comment here.
