Non-Sexual Ownership Meme

Not all slavery is sexual -- and not all ownership is slavery. Whether the person "owned" has consented to the arrangement or not, this is a meme for playing out the platonic side of power imbalance.Categories::A. True slavery. Whether you live in a world in which you can legally purchase another person or you've sidestepped the law, this person belongs to you whether they like it or not.
B. Pet ownership. Who doesn't like owning a pet? Curmudgeons, that's who. And what better pet than one that really understands everything you say?
C. Dealership. You're in the business of buying and selling. Maybe you even train your wares to increase their value.
D. Play-acting. You don't
really own this person, but both of you like to pretend that you do. Maybe it's a romantic relationship and maybe it's not, but either way you'll enjoy the lifestyle together.
E. Other? Prompts:1. New purchase. You're quite literally in the market. Who will catch your eye -- and will they be as happy to meet their new owner as you are to meet them?
2. Training. Even the most willing pet or slave needs instruction. As for the unwilling…well, a good trainer has their methods.
3. Get to work! You got this person for a reason, right? Set them to work, whether it's cleaning your house, providing you with entertainment, or anything else you can imagine.
4. TLC. Just because you own this person doesn't mean you don't care about them -- just the opposite, actually. They're hurt or sick, and it's up to you as owner to make sure they get the care they need, whether at home or at the veterinarian's office.
5. Walkies. You might be taking your pet for a stroll, or perhaps you just want your slave to carry your bags at the mall.
6. Show time. It's time for your pet or slave to strut their stuff for the conformation judges or show off their talents a la dog show…or for slave wranglers to show off
their skills a la rodeo.
7. Happy at home. What's your day to day life like with a slave to take care of your needs or a sapient pet to keep you company? Think mealtime, leisure activities, daily grooming, and so on.
8. Runaway. It seems someone wasn't so willing. Will you catch the runaway, or let them slip through your fingers?
9. Liberation. Whether by legal means or no, you've taken it upon yourself to free the slaves of the world. Just be careful you don't get caught and enslaved yourself!
10. Other?
