Warning:  Be aware that this meme deals with dark subjects like slavery and may also contain non-consensual/dubiously consensual sex, violence, and kink.

SLAVES

1.  The Newbie - This is your very first auction and you don't quite know what to expect.  Hopefully you remember your training and don't disgrace yourself in front of your new master.  Hopefully someone thinks you're worth buying at all.

2.  The Oldtimer - You've been bought and sold and bought again so many times.  You've seen it all before and don't think this time is going to be much different.  In fact, the only real anxiety you've got is whether or not someone's going to pay for a more than slightly used slave.

3.  The Pet - You're a pleasure slave.  A bed warmer.  A decorative piece of artwork.  You're meant to look pretty and be pleasing and not much else.

4.  The Guard - Your master hired you because of your ability to swing a sword or shoot a gun, not your looks.

5.  The Escape Artist - Somehow you always manage to squirm out of your master's chains.  Too bad you seem to get caught after a while.  Maybe your next daring escape will be permanent.  Then again, maybe your next master has special ways of keeping you locked up.

6.  The Undercover - You aren't a slave at all, you're just pretending to be one.  Why?  Well that's up to you.  Either way, your cover is blown if you don't act the part.

7.  The Specialist - You have a skill that no one else has.  Something rare and valuable.  Something your master needs more than anything else.

MASTERS

1.  The Customer - You've owned slaves before and this trip to the market is nothing new to you.  Still, you're hoping to find something worth your while.

2.  The Gift - Someone bought a pet for you, isn't that nice of them?  Or maybe it isn't so nice.  Did you even want a slave in the first place?  Well you're stuck with one now.

3.  The Giver - You're selecting a slave for someone else, and they need to be perfect.  Perhaps you'd better test them out first to make sure you're getting your money's worth.

4.  The Trainer - You specialize in taming unruly slaves and making them over into perfect, obedient, well-trained pets.

5.  The Rebel - You hate the idea of slavery, but the system isn't going to go away any time soon, so the next best thing is to buy up any slave you can get your hands on and free them, right?

6.  The Companion - You want someone to be with you always, someone you can talk to and depend on, someone who will never leave your side.  It's a good thing that money can buy that these days.

7.  The Undercover - You're not actually a Master.  You're at the auction for an entirely different reason.  Maybe it's special policework, maybe you're trying to hunt down a certain someone.  Either way, your cover is blown unless you act the part.

As always, feel free to use a combination of scenarios or make up your own if you have other ideas.

That much was quickly made obvious to the slave and he huffed before coming out to playfully slip his arms around Soubi from behind, making sure to keep them out of the man's way. "You do realize I'm not actually Catholic, right?"

[markedbeloved]

The soft gesture surprised Soubi. No one was ever soft towards him. He was always cut or whipped. His back bore the proof of years of whipping as a child, and it made soubi arch away from the touch a little. Not much though since the counter was in his way and he had a knife in his hand.

"Oh? Well that just makes it more amusing." He smirks a little back at duo like he hadn't moved at all.

[duo_maxwell]

Well that had backfired spectacularly. Duo huffed, putting his chin on Soubi's shoulder. The man hadn't pushed him away or told him to let go, so he wasn't going to just yet. Guy looked like he needed more friendly contact anyway. "Do I get to give you a nickname then?"

[markedbeloved]

The touch just made soubi sigh. Duo's chin was right next to the bandages that covered the markings on his neck. He was certain that the other might feel the bumps on his back too. Questions were always so annoying with things like those marks.

"I have another name, but only one person can call me that. Soubi is fine." He didn't want to know what Seimei might do to Duo if he herd him giving Soubi a nick name... "No, I can't let you nick name me." Soubi put down the knife, moving away from Duo as he placed the now freshly cut fruit on the table. "It might get you killed."

[duo_maxwell]

He had a feeling that Soubi didn't mean that he would kill him. Frowning a bit, it took him a moment to figure things out. "I take it your master's too possessive for that?"

[markedbeloved]

Duo was right to think that. Even if the way he said it wasn't quite right, Soubi just nodded as he placed the rest of the food out on the table. That reminded him... "No one showed up today, did they?"

[duo_maxwell]

"Nope, had the house to myself," Duo said, stepping away to give him room. "Were you expecting someone to come by?"

[markedbeloved]

Soubi shakes his head with a relived sigh. "No, but Seimei can ... do unexpected things." He just sat down at the table now and waited for Duo to sit down too. "sit."

[duo_maxwell]

Duo sat, taking an experimental bite before grinning. "You're going to need to teach me to cook like this."

[markedbeloved]

Soubi smirked a little. "It's an old family recipe call Read a Cook Book"

[duo_maxwell]

He almost choked on the rice, snickering. "Okay, got me there. You're just lucky I'm not one of those slaves who never got taught to read."

[markedbeloved]

Soubi paused a little, poking at his food with his fork. Education had always been paramount in his life. Even if he was basically owned by Seimei, the other had never interfered in his education. He went to high school and college, never wanting for anything... "Slavery is a terrible thing."

[duo_maxwell]

"Eh, it's not always so bad," Duo said, trying to cheer him back up. "Means I've always had enough to eat, a safe place to sleep. I was on the streets as a kid. There were worse things that could happen out there than ending up as a slave."

[markedbeloved]

Soubi just blinked up at him. "Are you trying to cheer me up?"

[duo_maxwell]

Duo grinned. "Yep, is it working? Since it's my fault you got down and all."

[markedbeloved]

Soubi just paused for a bit to think. "No, you are terrible at cheering people up." But he was grinning non the less. "Do you like me, Duo?"

[duo_maxwell]

"You know, I think I do," Duo said with a confident nod. He was good at lying to himself, but this time? Soubi really did seem like a nice guy.

[markedbeloved]

Even more confused now. No one ever liked him. "Really?"

[duo_maxwell]

"Well you've been pretty nice to me," Duo explained cheerfully. "And you what they say about judging a guy's character by how they treat those under them. And I'm pretty far under anybody."

[markedbeloved]

Soubi just gives a chuckle. "Well, don't become attacked." He had no idea what Seimei might do if he did after all. After what happened to Kio...

"Do the dishes. I'm going to take a shower." He was trying to be a little less ... friendly.

[duo_maxwell]

"Might as well, not like I'm going anywhere," Duo said with a shrug. It wasn't clear which statement his response was referring to, as he got up to follow Soubi's order anyway. Hell, he'd do it even if he hadn't been ordered. He should at least pull his own weight.

[markedbeloved]

Soubi just nodded and went to his room, undressing and going into the bathroom to start his shower. He was so TIRED. He'll be bak out to tuck Duo in later because he's just terrible at not paying attention to anyone who is under his roof like that. Even if he tries.

[duo_maxwell]

Since there really weren't a lot of dishes to do, Duo had the sofa bed already pulled out and was stretched out on it under the blanket with one of his sketched by the time that Soubi finished his shoulder. He'd taken his hair back down, enjoying the feeling of it being clean on bare shoulders.

[markedbeloved]

Soubi comes out after his shower, hair damn and dressed in boxers and a shirt. He smiles when he sees that Duo is already in bed. "You look comfortable."

[duo_maxwell]

"Well, it's not a bad sofa. Not as nice as your bed, but I have no complaints," Duo said, looking up at him. Duo put aside the sketch.
