The Slave Auction Meme



❧ Leave a comment with the character's name, fandom, and whether your character will be playing the part of 'slave' or 'master', plus preferences for scenarios if you have any.
❧ Respond to others with one of the scenarios below or feel free to make up your own.
❧ Please remember to be respectful of others while you play

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.

Cassandra smiles a little to herself. The stone man cracked - just a hair, but he cracked.

"Good. I'm in the market for a bodyguard, Mr. Reyne. You have a choice here; I won't force you. But believe me when I say that being the CEO's personal bodyguard has significantly more perks than just being just any facility guard. If you'd prefer the latter, however, I can be accommodating."

And there's a chuckle from the older man. No words, just a low chuckle.

Surely this woman sees the absurdity of trusting a slave as a bodyguard?

She gets why he's chuckling.

"Laugh all you want, Mr. Reyne. We reward loyalty handsomely around here. And even being a personal bodyguard would not exempt you from scrutiny. Quite the contrary.

"Loyalty merits rewards - including freedom, Mr. Reyne. Disloyalty merits death."

"Then you might as well kill me now."

He speaks, his voice low, accented in a refined English. Someone with an education, or at least with the air of one.

"I pledge no loyalty that isn't deserved."

"The stone man speaks."

Cassandra smooths out the skirt of her pantsuit. "You can decide for yourself if I'm worth your loyalty; why, we've barely gotten to know each other. I'm trying to make the world better, Mr. Reyne. And that makes me a lot of enemies."

A hand gets raised.

"Save the spiel, ma'am. I'm not interested." People have said they're trying to make the world better countless times... And then something like South Africa happens. "All I'm saying is that you've wasted your money. I'm not interested in becoming a bodyguard."
dataflow: (Yeah right // chaoschick)

"Then perhaps you were interested in staying in that cell?" The question is casual, asked only with a raised eyebrow. "You don't have much choice. Unless, of course, you want to go back there. But I rather doubt that's the case."

Her own accent is British and well-educated. In another life, they might have run in the same circles.

"What I want doesn't matter." Alek remarks. "Threaten me all you want. Kill me, send me back, whatever you like. I will not work for you."

That makes Cassandra laugh a little bit. "Please, Mr. Reyne. Threaten you? Kill you? What do you think I am, some kind of thug?" The CEO of dataDyne had to make some hard decisions, true, such as sending Shock Troopers to places they would almost certainly die, and the hypercorps all had bad reputations, if you bought into that sort of thing.

But the laughter dies, and she gives him a look that could only be read as that of a predator circling prey. Interesting, for someone speaking to a man who could snap her in half if he so chose.

"But I'm afraid you're wrong, Alek."
