Shunned Affection (Private)

[Purestarfall]

150 years ago, a grave and terrifying monster almost destroyed the world of Avalon before some heroes managed to thankfully defeat that monster. Everyone knows that story of that faithful event...though there was a part that no one knows about. The monster, before it was slain, released bits of itself that were unperceivable to all and everything but the most niche of detection magic in a gambit to revive itself later on by using them. These spores, to call them simply, spread throughout the continent of Hulasi. Although the attempt to revive it using them failed for the monster somehow, the spores still remained on Hulasi as they settled into place and became utterly inactive until they managed to be disturbed by a human.

As the spores were made to merge with humans, a human could quite easily find one of these spores and end up taking it into their body while being none the wiser. Though the result of these new kinds of affections ended up being extremely light on the affected, the real problems came if any of them tried to have any children. The children born under such conditions, with the spores having been more fully merge with them, had greater afflictions than their parents did. Not able to hide these wide and rather unseemly symptoms from the world, they world soon gave them the name of the Shunned and were often treated as outcasts to society at large due to their weird nature.

These Shunned often went through a wide amount of conditions that came with their nature. The first was that they were in a wholly untoilet trained state that never seemed like could go away even after rigorous training. It basically required them to have to wear diapers, often thick ones, at all times. Other traits as inability to read and write, wobblily gaits, slightly but otherwise chubby stomachs and faces on an otherwise thin body type, and other sorts of conditions affected them. The only commonality with them basically being how they would be very embarrassing for the Shunned to have to endure just on their own, let alone put together.

One of these poor Shunned is rather well off compared to others of her sort, having been born in a noble family. Still, even noble Shunned would be demeaned and otherwise made outcasts if found out, so her mother did her best to keep the fact that she was a Shunned a secret for as long as she could. She was still able to, but her mother had to admit that it was getting harder to do so the older her daughter got.

In any case, this Shunned woman now in her early 20's, Venessa as she was called, was currently sitting on a chair at one of the desks inside her bedroom as she was still clad in her nightwear with her very soiled diaper underneath those even though it was now morning. This was a habit for her, as she waited on her mother to come get her so that she could get her ready for the day. Her mother knew how to hide her...unpopular traits...from the rest of the world, and she really didn't want them to find out all that about her so she would trust in her mother to do a good job with it.

The door to Venessa's bedroom opens and her mother, Diane, walks in, smiling brightly.

"Good morning, my treasure," She coos, walking up behind her daughter and draping her arms around her in a hug. Diane did sincerely love her daughter and had never minded about her condition as a "Shunned". That being said, she couldn't deny that keeping her status a secret had been a challenge. The only people who knew were her, Venessa's nurser, and Diane's three handmaidens. Fortunately, those four women were as loyal as could be to Diane and loved Venessa almost as much as her mother did. It had been fairly easy to conceal for the early years of her life. Venessa's nurse or mother were expected to follow her around when she had been a child, so they could always whisk her away from sight anytime she needed a change even after such things were expected. Also, while her father was by no means a cruel man he was also not the type to be too interested in the daily activities of his young daughter. It also helped that their family's estate was fairly far out from the main city of the region and they didn't often have visitors when Venessa was younger. Even when they did it was usually easy for Venessa to either not appear because she was "feeling sick", or just slip away after a token appearance since she was too young for much of the visitors to be too interested in her.

Unfortunately, the challenge had been growing steadily harder as Venessa had grown older. After all, Venessa was Diane's only child and therefore as she became a woman, more and more people were growing interested in her as the heiress of the family. The bright side had been that she didn't seem suffer from all the common symptoms of the Shunned so even now it was hard to tell at sight, but now it seemed that her father was beginning to take more and more of an interest in both her life and having people over to the manor, which brings Diane to something she needs to talk with her daughter about.

"Now the, Venessa," Diane starts as she gingerly removes her daughter's nightgown and leads her into a back room where a padded changing table is waiting. "I'm sure you remember that your father is throwing a rather large party tonight. You will have to make an appearance, well...quite a few appearances really."

[Purestarfall]

Venessa smiled a bit as her mother begun by giving her a hug. If there was one thing that she was glad for, it was that she had such a supportive and loving mother. "Good mowning mom." Venessa told Diane before then continuing a moment later by telling her "Well, I'm weady to get a diapee change..." It made the shunned have to slightly cringe every time she had to hear herself speak in such a accent that she couldn't help. It made her sound so stupidly childish, like she was speaking through a pacifier at all times even though she wasn't sucking on one. It helped further set her apart from everyone else that she knew. Though thankfully, she was able to mostly get away with her father not really knowing about it since she limited how much she spoke around him, thankfully since her mother and her assistance always handled talking to him in her stead.

Following Diane into the back room set up just for her, Venessa just lightly blushed for a second as her mother stripped her from her nightgown. Now basically bare in front of her, Diane could now see the rest of the physical signs that Venessa had due to her nature. The first being, of course, the now sagging thick diaper that was now filled with her waste attached to her. Venessa had no control over her toilet needs, and attempts to get her potty trained earlier in life all failed. So she was stuck needing to wear diapers, and comparatively thick ones since she was a heavy wetter and messer...another rather common trait for a Shunned to have. The Shunned woman also had a bit of a pudgy stomach that ended up poking out a bit over the waistband of her diaper, that wouldn't go away no matter how much exercise she did, shattering any hope of her having a sleek, elegant figure. And even though it wasn't a trait that could be seen, Diane was well aware of how Venessa could read or write...it was like her mind couldn't comprehend the symbols used for it even after attempting to be taught them.

Even if she was comparatively lucky compared to her peers in how her Shunned traits manifested, there was still no room to doubt that Venessa was one of them.

Slowly getting onto the changing table, careful not to shift the mess around in her diaper too much doing so, Venessa listened to what her mother was trying to tell her. And along with it came a sigh when she realized what it was about. "But mom...I-I know that it's happwening tonight but do I weally hawe to go to it? You know that I'll sthick out like a sowe thumb thewe!" Venessa lightly pleaded with Diane, though she was well aware that she likely couldn't prevent her from having to go. Well...at least it wouldn't be too bad if she did have to go, not with how she'd been to quite a number of those events by now. As long as Diane handled most everything for her while Venessa remained as much in her mother's shadow as she could, she was sure it would go okay just like the other times they were part of such events before.

Diane sighs at her daughter's discomfort and reaches up to stroke her hair, a surefire way to help her calm down. She really did hate seeing her daughter struggle and knew that no one hated Venessa's condition more than she did. If Diane was completely honest, a part of her almost enjoyed having a Shunned daughter. Her daughter's lisp was adorable to her and with her being her only child she cherished being able to care for her. But she would certainly also like to give her precious daughter a bit more freedom, and a part of her knew full well that no matter what she did it was going to be near impossible to protect Venessa from exposure forever, especially from her husband. Granted their marriage was fairly happy as noble matches went, but he was a fairly stern man and she frankly shuddered to think what would happen if he ever managed to find out that his only child was a Shunned....or for that matter that his wife had been hiding it for two decades. Exposure would almost certainly lead to a very unpleasant divorce for Diane, and she didn't even want to think what might happen to her daughter.

"I know you don't want to to, precious, I know," Diane says as she goes to undo the metal pins holding Venessa's diaper in place, though they've almost started to strain a bit. Diane chuckles briefly, she was always so full in the morning. "But your father won't stand for you skipping another party. We'll handle it just like always. Stay close to mother, talk in the shortest sentences you can, and we'll make sure your double diapered so we don't have to change you as much," she says with a smile as she opens her daughter's diaper and starts wiping her down. Naturally after 20+ years of handling Venessa's diapers no mess can even faze Diane at this point. "Who knows, maybe you'll have some fun," she offers as she cleans her up, hoping to cheer Venessa up a little.

Several miles away, a carriage is making its way towards their manor. It's one of the other noble guests for their party, but this particular one lives so far away that she has to get going already. Inside the carriage, a rather tall woman with bright red hair and piercing green eyes. Her expression is a mixture of boredom and frustration, and the handmaiden sitting across from her seems almost nervous. The woman's name is Mandra and she really hates parties.

"Ugh, they better be serving decent wine at this thing..." Mandra grumbles to herself glancing out the window.

"I realize it's inconvenient to go so far mistress," the other woman speaks up. "But your father was quite insistent that at least one of the family had to attend and well..."

"Yes yes he and my siblings were all busy, I remember," Mandra grunts back without turning. "Just my luck..." She grumbles some more, already convinced that she'll get nothing out of this evening.

[Purestarfall]

As Venessa was laid down on the changing table, waiting for her mother to get her diaper changed for her, she had little to do except listen to Diane explain how they were going to tackle the party. "Okay, I can twy my best mom." Venessa told her mother as she agreed with the plan she was laying out for her. Though she did blush a bit when she told her that she was going to be double diapered for it...she understood why she had to be, as she really didn't want to risk a leak then either, but wearing two at one time always made her have to walk with such a wide waddle that it made her feel even sillier than usual.

Blushing a bit more as Diane was wiping her privates clean, she then told her in response to what she then told her "I...I don't see how I could mom. I'd be twying not to reveal mysewf too much to others. You know that no one would want to deal with a Shunned wike me other than you and your helpers." While Shunned weren't punished or anything like that, the immense scorn that they received for being as weird as they were, meant that many of not almost all of them ended up in unflattering social positions. It was common to demean the Shunned and force them into a very low social latter, even if they came from more well to do families, so in that regard it made Venessa feel very lucky that she had a loving mother like Diane that did her best to hide her from others so that she could live a happy life pretending not to have been one of the Shunned.

"Oh, my precious, I know it's hard," Diane says, maintaining a smile as she balls up the used diaper and sets it aside to be washed. After unfolding a new one, she slides it underneath her and reaches up to lightly tickle her chin, a surefire way to cheer her daughter up. "Just relax and do your best to have some fun all right? For mother?" She coos with a smile as she powders her daughter's nether regions and folds her fresh diaper into place. However, as she's fastening the pins she does have to struggle to not frown or sigh. She knew how hard it was for her daughter to function even without a party to deal with. She also knew that it was only going to get harder for her the older she got. If only there was some way she could give her precious Venessa a peaceful life where she didn't have to live in fear...

(Several Hours later)

The party is in full swing. Drinks and food are being served around the room, the band is playing a light tune, and the dance floor is full of couples. Diane of course is with her husband, casually conversing with a few of the other noble couples, though she periodically glances over to watch Venessa, standing at the refreshment table with one of her handmaidens right beside her. So far things had gone all right. Venessa had presented herself to the guests and been "introduced" to a few young men and women of her age from families that had expressed interest in setting up a match. She'd made it through a couple dances, but then had been taken aside as she was feeling "light-headed" and needed something to eat. Diane was proud of her daughter, but knew that she was approaching her limit. Just a little longer and she would excuse the two of them to get some rest, and that point she could just resign herself to her chambers. She also had a strong feeling that her double diaper was likely approaching its limit...

Across the room, Mandra is downing her fifth drink and looking around, well and truly bored. She'd done a few dances had a few conversations, but at that point she became convinced that there was nothing here that interested her.

(Gods its worse then I thought,) she thinks to herself as she wanders out of the main area and through one of the side doors. (Well maybe a trip to the latrine will be more interesting...) She thinks with a grunt.

[Purestarfall]

By now, Venessa was pretty tired and was ready to get to return to her chambers and away from this party. The dancing was the worst, and extremely taring given her being doubled up on padding. Thankfully her mother had her wear a dress with an extremely long and wide skirt so her wide steps were hidden from sight. She was just taking a moment to herself now as she waited on her mother to pick her up and take her away from here, just casually drinking from a glass of water.

However, the Shunned lady felt how much she had used her double diaper during this whole party and shuttered a bit to herself as she had no choice but to notice it at all moments. It was a bit impressive in a way, how much and how often a Shunned like her could soil herself. A reminder of her how much she depended on her mother to provide her clean diapers, otherwise she would be a very filthy young woman. Even with her thickly padding keeping her clean though, she still suffered from making such a mess with a strongly foul smell emanating from her. Thankfully the only one around her at the moment was one of Diane's handmaidens, who had gotten used to Venessa smelling like that so she was able to not give any signs that something was amiss. Still, Venessa hoped that her mother would come and get her changed before she developed a leak...that would be very bad if it happened.

[theJozza]

Naturally, in addition to double diapering her, Diane had used ample amounts of baby powder to conceal any smells that might come from her. Of course after multiple hours, even the double layer and excess baby powder were starting to lose their effect. A fact that thankfully the maid standing beside her notices and sends a signal to Diane.

"Could you excuse me a moment, I think I could use some refreshments," Diane says to her husband and the people they're speaking with. She gives a slight curtsy and strolls towards the table where Venessa is standing. As she's walking, the maid engages in an ever so slight bit of movement that culminates in a drink being spilled on Venessa's dresss.

"Oh my dear!" Diane says with pretend shock. "Come let's get that taken care of. Don't want it to stain," she says, taking Venessa's hand and pulling her out of the main room. Soon the two of them are alone in one of the back corridors, with Diane pulling her into one of the first floor rooms. They never used this area so Diane had converted it into a sort of emergency changing station for Venessa.

"You did so well tonight, my precious," Diane coos as she helps Venessa out of her dress and guides her to the fully stocked changing table. "Now just relax and mother will get you a fresh diaper, then right up to your room and you can relax and go to bed," she says as she helps Venessa up, mentally sighing in relief that they'd managed to survive another party.

Unfortunately, the corridor that Diane had chosen was the same that Mandra had taken. After relieving herself, she'd found herself a little disoriented and was now wandering around trying to find her way back to the party. As she turns a corner, she hears voices behind one of the doors and hoping for directions opens it....just in time to see Diane unpin Venessa's outer diaper.
