Hello, and welcome to The Care and Keeping of Your Pet! As you surely know, a pet is a big responsibility, and we're so glad you've decided to be a conscientious master. A safe pet is a happy pet, and this handbook is certain to keep your precious lifelong friend as content as can be.

The history of the animal person is a long and difficult one, with their origins not being known even to this day. However, scientists believe that despite our common appearance - most animal people have humanoid forms except for the ears, tails, and sometimes teeth - we share no common ancestry, even if the ascent of this species corresponds with that of the homo sapiens. We gained dominance over each breed thousands of years ago, beginning with the dog type, who have long been considered "man's best friend." Most breeds these days are docile and perfect for owners of any speed.

Of course, it is our duty as the superior species to take care of these animal creatures, and this is inherent in their genetic makeup. Everyone knows that an animal person, when matched with their correct human master, is loyal for life - a true "soulmate," if you will. Far be it for us to turn this away! Ever since the Great Domestication, these intelligent and loving animals have served us as friends, workmates, guardians, servants, and sexual companions and will for years to come. Despite recent hubbub from so-called "Pet People's Rights Activists," this way of life is wholesome and good. Scientific research shows that the natural desire of the pet person is to be owned and cared for by a human.

So, it's your first pet. What do you need to know?

As previously stated, pet people come in as many breeds as you can possibly think of. By far and away the most popular are the dog and cat types, but exotic birds and lizards have been gaining popularity among trendsetters from L.A. to Tokyo!
All pet types are best suited for certain jobs, and when hunting for one, it is best to search for a type that suits your needs best.
However, a "True Match" - when a pet person bonds with you and only you for the rest of their natural lives - comes naturally, and sometimes takes time before you can find the pet you will be able to give a forever home to.
According to all current research, pet people are completely sentient and like us in many ways. However, it is important to remember that they have many animalistic and feral characteristics. Do not be foolish and think that your pet is a person, despite the facts that many are clothed and may be allowed to read, write, and have "hobbies." Some traditional pet owners may eschew these frivolities, and that is within their right.
Pet people age more quickly than humans, at least physically, and many types have long lifespans. It is not uncommon for pets to be passed through the family. When getting your child their first pet, it's important to keep in mind that just because the pup is tiny now, a grown pet can be jumpy around a small child.
It is important to train a pet. Discipline will be necessary. This does not make you a bad owner. Failure to train early will result in a rebellious pet. Training is especially important if you want your pet to serve as a household servant.
Remember, your pet will be extremely protective of you, especially if you are Truly Bonded. It is best to socialize them early. A socialized pet is a perfect family pet.
These days, unowned and unbonded pet people are allowed to live as strays or "Frees" in certain designated areas. Some even hold "jobs." This is against their best interest, and owners who adopt these strays are to be rewarded. Still, the best place to get pets are from liscenced kennels or breeders.
Some masters find it beneficial to participate in activities with their pets, such as shows and other competitions.
Finally, much has been made about the sexual relationship between pet and master. This is a normal facet of the bond, and humans are sure to find pet people sexually alluring. But beyond that, it is only responsible and prudent for owners to care for their pet's needs. It is a well-known fact that the libidos of pet people are remarkably strong, and when they go into heat, it is usually more convenient for a master to relieve them. There is no risk of pregnancy. All rumors of hybrids are urban legends.
Despite this, masters must remember to not view their pets as romantic partners. Humans should stay with humans.

With that said, thank you and welcome to your first day as a pet's master!

>> how to play

Needless to say, The Care and Keeping of Your Pet is a bit biased and full of propaganda, but it gives a good idea of the world your character is now AU's into. They are either a pet person or a human master, and what that means for them varies.

So are they a devoted pet or a rebellious animal person looking to buck the system? A generous master or a cruel sexual sadist? Just a normal pet owner? Most likely they're something in between, but when you're raised in this world, it's difficult to see anything different on the horizon.

Rules

Comment with your character and say whether they'd be a master or a pet. Ideally, they could be played as both. Mention what kind of each they'd be and what they'd be like, (ie: "Xx-chan is a bunny girl who is happy to please her master" or "Asterothia is a cat boy who is aloof but loyal to his true master"). For pets, be sure to include features ("wolf ears, tail, teeth).

REMEMBER, pet does not automatically equal submissive and master automatically equal dominant. This is not a BDSM setting though BDSM can be included. How far you want to go with the actual "pet" aspect is up to you, as well. Your pet could just be your slightly-furry roommate or soulmate!
Comment to others.
Play out the scene.

>> prompts

This by now means an all-inclusive list, but it should get you going in the right direction.

First Time Pet/Owner: Usually, pets are gotten at a young age; you're an old dog. Can you learn new tricks?
True Bond: What all masters and pets yearn for...the pet's loyalty and adoration for life.
Love: It's expected for masters to love their pets, but to love them? Romance is strictly forbidden.
Old "Couple": Master and pet have grown together and know each other. You know, know each other.
Loss of Master: The pet has lost their master, perhaps even their True Bond. Is it possible to move on?
Young Master/Older Pet: Pets age quicker than masters, so it's possible to end up with a bit of an "age" difference.
Family Pet: This pet's been raised as part of the family. What happens when their feelings for a family member get more than platonic.
For Your Protection: You don't want to be a master, but you have to take in a pet for their protection lest they be in danger from the general public.
Stray: You're a stray or a "Free." Can you live like this with your biology screaming for you to make a match?
Servant: You're more servant than pet.
All Sex, All the Time: The only purpose for this pet is to service the master, and not in a way that means cleaning their house.
Guard: You're a loyal bodyguard, a service pet. You'll do anything for your master. Anything.
Pet Play: This is for those who prefer to keep their animals on leashes, have them eat from bowls, and keep away from clothing.
Breaking In: Training is important with any pet.
In Love with Another Master...or Pet: To lust after another's master is no better than treason, and to wish to be with another pet just cruel!
Punishment: Bad dog, no nookie!
Heat: All pets go into heat, and it's the responsibility of the owner to take care of this problem. After all, unchecked dry humping kills thousands every year.
Breeding: Breeders know the best qualities in each type and mate the cream of the crop together to continue lines. It's a hobby for some, a calling for others.
Pregnancy: So, about that whole "hybrid" thing. It maaaay be more true than you think, even if pet/human pregnancies are the stuff of salacious tabloids.
Territorial: Hey, hey, other dog person! This is your apartment. Stay the fuck out!
Kennel: Kennels are where unadopted pets are kept. They're generally agreed to be depressing places. Why not volunteer at one, keeping the pets healthy and happy with the kind of affection only humans can show?
Rebelling Against the System: Damn the Man! Pet people are people, too! Just be careful not to get talk. You know what happens to bad pets.
Instant Attraction: You ever just look at someone and know they're the one? That they're...your master? But what if you've been trying to fight it? Well, don't try!
Dominant Pet: You might be the pet, but you call the shots, at least in the bedroom.
Pet Show: Everyone wants to show off how perfect their animal is. Look at that ass! And you'll never believe their special skills...
Therapeutic: Pets, especially those bred for their kindliness, are perfect therapy for those who've been through trauma and heartache.
Jealousy: Who's that around your master? Oh, hell no. They better not be touching them!
Petting: Pet people are absolutely gaga for being touched. Even the most steely ones turn to mush for rubs.
Games: Playing with your pet and giving them exercise is a key to happiness. Of course, with a pet person, you might want to use other toys instead of a ball.

[ Either a very neurotic owner or a very neurotic pet. ]

[ooc: she would be a cat or a puppy! a very energetic and affectionate one c:]

ooc: Sonya's a hawk with brown/gold wings on her back and talons for feet. Her personality is playful with a tendency to become overtly friendly or aggressive-sometimes all at once. Owners with a firm hand are better suited for her, while weaker ones will find her running the house from under them.

Those able to take her in could show her off as a status pet and possible guard pet, but should be aware of Sonya's naturally high metabolism and dislike of closed-in spaces

[ I'd prefer Crona to be the pet, but I'm flexible. No smut required! ]

[A sweet cat girl who's very shy at first, but will warm up with her owner in time. As an owner she will be very sweet and give her pet a lot of attention. She will also make sure that her pet is comfortable.]

[As a pet, he's a raven with feathers along his arms, a beak that makes kissing quite interesting, and scaly claw feet. He's quiet and prone to fits of moodiness, but he's quite loyal and devoted to any master, no matter how they treat him.

As an owner, he's not overly affectionate with his pet, but he doesn't completely ignore them either. If a pet can worm their way past his defenses, which can take some time, he'll be quite devoted to them.]

[OOC: Interested in doing something with this guy? It'd definitely be a case of opposites attracting.]

[ As a pet, Shizuo is either a dog with fluffy ears and a tail to match or a cow boy with sensitive nipples and the potential for lactation and milking kinks. As an owner he'll be a mix of doting and aloof, unsure how to show he cares for his pet but eager to make sure their needs are met. I've got no preference for which role he takes. Gonna take a pass on Izaya replies, though. ]

[Oh look, someone already meets most of those loyal dog qualifications]

[ooc: Open to all, he'll most likely be the master, though the option for a hard to train black fox or bat is open, a sturdy handler is needed for him. PM with any questions, kinks are in the journal, can go with a non-smut thread if you'd prefer.]

Edited 2015-01-08 18:20 (UTC)

[Peter as the pet. He'll be a pain in the ass. No pregnancy.

Longer backtaggy prose preferred]

[[Either very friendly owner or house-wife-like catgirl. Would like her not expecting her pet's libido if she takes the owner route.]]

[Yukimura was generally a well behaved dog that only showed a more wicked side when he got restless or felt lonely. But most of the time he stayed his soft and kind self. A good pet to have around really as he could care for himself for days without any problems. Just that leaving him for days made him both lonely and restless, but he would not starve to death or anything like that.

It just so happened that today were a day he wanted attention, to be petter and played with, but Shizuo however wasn't at home. It left him to walk around aimlessly in the living room, watering the plants he had been given and sketching some before finally he could hear keys jingling outside of the door.

Right away he went over to the hall, sketchpad still in hand and a warm smile on his face that only grew as the door opened.]

Welcome home.

[As a pet, Jonathan is a gentle and loyal floppy eared dog. As an owner, he's very kind and leans towards permissive, but will be strict when necessary.]

[As a Pet: Tsumiki is either a very fluffy rabbit girl - white lop ears that hang over her shoulders with grey spots and a cute, very fluffy tail - or a very fluffy cat girl - again white, longer cat ears with grey spots and a super long, full tail. She is very skittish and shy, but extremely loyal and willing to do whatever her owner asks her to as long as her owner is happy and giving her attention.

As an owner: She is very, very loving and doting. Spoiling her pet to a point even, she tries very hard to connect with them and make them happy and hopefully like her. She's not a terribly assertive owner, so it's very likely her pets will have a run of the place and very little discipline when they do something wrong unless it ends up/could end up hurting them.]

[The single best pet you could ask for........except when he's curious and unrelenting and stubborn about something, in which case, good luck!

Aoba can be any animal type you like. I'm quite partial to cat and dog features, but certainly open to all others too.

All kinks wiiiiiiiiiiiiiide open. Just like Aoba's ass.]

[ooc: Shinji loves dogs, so that would be his most favorite pet, but I'm open to anything, even peculiar choices. As a pet, I'd say he's a very scratch-your-face-off kitty or a puppy in dire need of some training.]

[eager and sweet puppy (though prone to depression at times) with Akita ears and tail. definitely a lap dog. Or a very not so dominant owner. :I ]

Edited 2015-01-08 23:25 (UTC)

ooc; so the question is: who do you want, flaily master or difficult housecat?

[ooc; I want it all. :I I'm greedy. ]

[ The thing is -- the thing is the guy at the kennel might have neglected to mention a few things about this particular breed to Damon, when he had purchased the cat for his brother.

Namely that they were demanding, cantankerous creatures that were possibly not best suited for a first time owner. (Though there could be little denying the advantages, like when Vlad arches back against Stefan, pushing him even deeper into that lean body; eyes lidded and purring in utter satisfaction.) ]

[Stefan has never thought he's needed a pet; he'd told Damon that on multiple occasions and yet...here he is, with a pet, and a rather stubborn one that can't follow any of his orders.

He's given up for the most part. The cat--gorgeous skin, lean muscle, dark hair, and knowing eyes--does whatever he feels like doing. Which apparently includes even fucking his master.

Stefan is moaning in want and frustration, green eyes squeezed shut and he just takes it because he has to--and because, as much as he doesn't want to admit it, the need for that physical contact is there.]

[ As far as birthdays go, Vlad has had worse -- though he might've known that something was up when his brother had called (the smirk all but audible in his voice) to enquire after the pet policy at the apartment block he is currently living in.

However, whether due to things being busy at work, or because he honestly couldn't fathom Radu doing something so insane, he can't quite manage to contain his surprise at suddenly finding himself the proud new owner of a puppy.

Goddammit Radu. ]

[ooc: Admittedly, I'm not familiar with your canon but I'm totally down! Anything you'd like to do in particular? c:]

[But what a pretty puppy he is. Young and eager, with green eyes and a handsome face. It's obvious he cost quite a bit, but Radu isn't exactly the type to do anything halfway.

Once Stefan feels his new master out, he's nearly all over the man, in spite of how less than pleased he seems to be about the situation. The puppy is sure he can change his mind. So there's kisses over his face with gentle, warm lips, and that fluffy, curled tail wags back and forth.]
