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 concientious 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 sapien. 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.

[When the blindfold goes back on, he tenses for a moment before he's reaccustomed. The bite, however, comes out of nowhere--he full-out gasps and squirms in place, his wings straining against the binds.

It's not even two seconds into this and Zaheer's already having seconds thoughts.]

Is that supposed to scare me?

[He challenges, all bravado--he shudders at the feel of his bitten skin exposed to cold air.]

[Henry giggles into Zaheer's ear as they start tying down his arms next.]

Just telling you the situation! I don't mind if you nip at my tail for fun, but if you try anything more I'll snap back!

[Henry bites again, to keep Zaheer offbalance, on the shoulder this time.]

And my bite is worse than yours~

[He flinches his shoulder away from him, his breath a little tight.]

I--ngh...

Stop biting me!

[Henry finished by snapping a collar on him.]

Will you cooperate?

No, go to hell.

[Zaheer hissed, turning his head to where he heard Henry's voice coming from, not liking how snug the collar felt.]

Should've known you wouldn't have given up so easily. Okay, lets try something different!

[With another bite, Henry leads Zaheer on the chain to the perch they had set up by the couch. Henry attaches it then winches ti closer and gets Zaheer bent over the leg of the couch, lifting a foot carefully onto his back to keep him down. With one hand Henry holds his tailfeathers away, and pulls his clothes down to his knees with the other.

Then, without warning, Henry smacks Zaheer's bare ass.]

You--

[He'd almost called his bluff, when he bent him over the couch... but the smack to his firm ass has Zaheer yelping with a shuddered breath, light skin threatening to turn pink. ]

Don't you dare repeat that.

[His face might also be getting pink.]

Heehee, okay!

[And Henry doesn't - not on the same spot. They rub at the pink skin, appreciating the firm muscle underneath.]

Ready to give in?

Is that the only way you'll let me go?

Of course! That's the point of the whole thing.

[Just to drive the point home, Henry digs their nails into Zaheer's skin. Amazing how satisfying seeing those little crescent marks is.]

Unless you want more?

I can take a few hits.

[He says it carefully, as if he's afraid of saying yes, unsure of what his answer may bring...]

Suit yourself!

[Henry gives Zaheer a series of lighter hits, meant to warm up the skin and ease him into it. Then they smack his ass harder, pausing between each one, even hitting his thighs.]

It'll just get worse if you stay stubborn.

[It's when he starts to hit harder that Zaheer's hips start to move, lightly squirming as the pain shifts from light to pins and needles.

The swipe against his thighs make him cry out in surprise before he snarls.]

I won't bend to you.

Ooh, cheeky!

[Yes that was terrible but Zaheer started it, being already bent over and all. Henry hits harder, alternating sides, and of course smacks his thighs, since that got such a fun reaction.]

Oooh, your skin changes color so easily! Must have good circulation!

[His cries start to give way to whimpers the redder his skin gets, breaths turning short. He squirms more readily, and at the observation, he tries to shoot Henry a scathing look from behind his blindfold.]

Perhaps because you keep hitting me.

Yeah but not everyone reacts the same. You're just so cute!

[Holding out fairly well, Henry'd be a little disappointed if he gave in now. As it is, they won't stop until Zaheer's ass is flaming red. Henry gives him a minute to wait, then gives even, measures swats, more deliberate this time.]

Cu--aagh!

[He swats, cutting off Zaheer's embarrassed and indignant yell as he whines, mashing his face the best he can against the couch, his chained leg yanking feebly, his tailfeathers twitching. He's almost glad his wings aren't free.

He really means business, he realizes--pinpricks turn into an all-over soreness, a delicateness to his skin that makes him so much more sensitive he's starting to cringe.

Zaheer's skin is a vivid red indeed before he chokes out:]

W... wait.

[Henry pauses, and gets one more hit in, before releasing Zaheer. Physically anyway - the binding's still in place.]

Aw, I was gonna get a cane or something next. Oh well! You ready to obey me?

[Zaheer immediately feels the want to just kick his face in, again, but although he doesn't immediately respond, he doesn't... curse him, either.]

... I don't know.

[But they're getting somewhere.]

[Indeed they are. But Henry really wants to make sure. Henry undoes the bonds on Zaheer's legs, pulling off their pants, and with more lengths of rope provided with the cage, tie his ankles with loops then tie those to the stubby legs of the couch. Maybe he could lift it under normal circumstances, but not stretched out like that.]

Hmmmm, lets see if I can't convince you fully. Sit tight!

[Henry leaves him like that, tied up and blindfolded with his ass in the air. At least Zaheer will get a break from hitting. Henry's footsteps lead upstairs, where there's some rummaging, then heavier, measured tread back down. Henry puts down the chest they carried from their room, opening it and selecting a couple tools.]

First, I'm gonna try out this paddle.

[Mindful of Zaheer's sore ass, Henry gives him a firm but not heavy hit, once across the cheeks and again on the thighs.]

[Sit tight. Really.

Zaheer struggles the first chance he can, really disliking the compromising, vulnerable position he's in--especially when he feels so sensitive. Apprehension crawls up his spine and settles in his stomach when the chest heaves onto the floor.]

Try what out-- [He gasps aloud with a sharp groan, his legs all tensing.]

Don't want that. No.

Not that, hm? Alright let's use a cane next!

[Henry puts the paddle back into place before taking up the thin cane, whipping it through the air a few times before striking Zaheer's hip with one stroke and his thigh on the return.]

[Can he get off of this wild ride?

Before he can even point out the inconsistency--so all he has to do is ask that he doesn't use it?--the cane smacks down on sensitive skin, and Zaheer's voice rises slightly above the deep timber of his voice. Breathless, he stumbles to speak before he can raise the cane again:]

H... how many things of that caliber do you have?

[Ooooh, that was a nice sound! They'll have to remember that. Henry lets the end of the cane rest on Zaheer's ass, but doesn't hit him. Yet.]

Oh, enough! They all give different sensations, so I wanted to test them out! Seems like you don't like the thud of the paddle, so I thought I'd try the sting of this cane.

[Whack]

But if I have to draw blood I've got a beaded flogger too.

'Enough' isn't a number!

[Zaheer can't believe he's honestly debating bending--not breaking--to make this stop. At the same time, though, he can feel a heat pooling in his groin, and that's definitely not something he wants to share.]

Ngh-- [He whimpers, his voice higher when the cane comes down.] Not--not blood. It's not needed.
