The Slave Auction Meme
>The Slave Auction MemeThe 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.

"To keep everything orderly while traveling, please understand that I will refrain from announcing this agreement until we've returned to the Greencross. You'll also be able to send ravens to Castamere and King's Landing, and to anyone else you need to contact to let them know what is happening. Will you need anything brought from either location?"

"An honour I will accept gladly, my lady."
As to the question of anything brought, he shakes his head.
"I merely require clean clothing, armour and weapons. I can send from King's Landing if it would be easier, my lady?"

True to her word, she let Alek by transported by wagon without a single mention of the deal she had struck with him, as they continued northward. He was not poorly treated, housed among the other servants of the troupe, who gave him strange looks sometimes, but otherwise did not harry him.
The caravan's journey was unimpeded, and buoyed by good weather, they arrived nearly a full day ahead of schedule. The Greencross was so named because of its location, situated in the cradle of two valleys as they came together, forming a low-lying area that was where Alek had recalled it: on the seam of land between the Crownlands and the Reach. In terms of acreage, House Pitchiner's holdings were on the meager side even for that of a minor house, but the quality of land made it attractive to surrounding lords.
The keep was also on the smaller side, almost utilitarian in design, but the outer wall surrounding it is well-fortified and well-manned by more of the Fearling sellswords, distinguished by their insignia-less armours. The keep itself is situated on rougher ground, where it would be harder to approach from all sides.
Once they're inside the outer wall, amid the bustle of the wagons being unloaded, the trip's purchases being hauled off to their various storerooms, one of Sera's servants (though not one of those who'd been on the trip with them) approaches Alek.
"If you would please follow me," he said politely, gesturing to one of the arched doorways which led inside. "You are to be shown to your quarters."
