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.

Junpei Yoshino | Jujutsu Kaisen | OTA

[moondregs]

[ As an owner, Junpei is an introvert who thought maybe getting a pet could ease his loneliness. Humans are hard to trust, but pets are supposed to love you unconditionally, right?

As a pet, he has shiba inu tail and ears. He was likely from a shelter and fairly timid. May have been abused by his former master and needs a patient and gentle hand to blossom.

Okay with any prompts but especially like heat, breeding and pregnancy. ]

[missingaction]

[yo.

Because I want to. Do you want to play pregnant owner or pregnant pet more?]

[moondregs]

[ pregnant pet pls ]

[missingaction]

[Whenever there was an opportunity to make money, Toji couldn't help but jump on the bandwagon. Hybrid pets were the latest fad and it just so happened that a Shiba Inu was quite the popular pet. So, he found one. Abused, harmed, and probably either knocked up or had been recently. Hard to tell. He took him home to make absolutely sure he was knocked up this time.

And unlike that past master, Toji was much nicer. But that wasn't saying much.

Junpei was kept naked, collar and leashed, and often paraded around. And he was told, point blank, that he was used to be a money maker for Toji.

So close to giving birth, Toji came home one day, whistling as he brought food over to Junpei. Burger, fries and a milkshake. In just the right amounts for someone so round and heavy.]

Time to eat up.

[moondregs]

[ The good news for Toji’s wallet is that one of the canine traits Junpei possesses is having litters.

He’s lounging on his bed when his master returns - as he usually is these days, too exhausted from being so huge with a belly full of squirming pups.

There’s a small whimper as he struggles to get up, but he’s as ravenous as usual. That drives him forward, albeit slowly, mouth already watering at the promise of food. ]

[missingaction]

Good boy.

[He places the food beside him as he moves to squat down in front of him. The belly is huge and he's already ready for milking.]

There's plenty in there, isn't there? I'm surprised you can even sit up like that.

[moondregs]

[ Junpei reaches out to grab the food greedily, wasting little time to get it into his mouth as a trickle of drool runs down his mouth.

The pups tend to be smaller than human babies when born as a result of having so many, but like dogs age much quicker. ]

Mm ... I think five ...

[ He manages to answer between chewing. Also like a dog he just kind of inhales food as quickly as he can without tasting, but the hunger associates with pregnancy hasn’t helped matters. ]

[unshakencowboah]

[As an owner he'd be a loving owner taking in a stray or adopting from a shelter. Doesn't have much in his apartment or old ranch, but he'll give you everything he can.

As a pet he'd be a stray bear or a stag on the street or not happy in a shelter.

Prefer to go the pet route, discuss for owner.]

[edensdog]

[OOC: The pet, a dog. An Akita in particular, belonged to a very wealthy family. Might be a rescue or a runaway. If we go that route he'll still have some loyalty left to his last master. Open to everything except dominant pet.]

[ The pet. She has fox or cat ears— Things along those lines.

She was materialized into the real world, but the price to pay for such a miracle was becoming a pet person. There are two possible scenarios. In one, she managed to break out of DDLC by herself. In that case, she's either a stray or in a shelter and needs to be adopted. In the second scenario, your character is the one who materialized her into the real world. Regardless, she's a glutton for affection.

I am very interested in the dynamic between the characters, pet/master things, the fluffy and cute stuff as well as all forms of build up. Jumping straight into a sex scene is a no-no, but if the scene leads into smut naturally then it's just fine. Feel free to PM me if you're not sure and would like to set something up! ]

How about cute fluffy stuff build up with a hint of teasing ?

[redeyedslasher]

Break didn't act on impulse nearly as often as some people thought. He was good at pretending to be wacky and unpredictable but behind that goofy exterior was a very shrewd and calculating man. But even with that background there were a few moments when he just acted with little thought. Something about that poor girl in a dark alleyway had compelled him to take action. might have been the rain pouring down hard and her shivering body making her even more pitiful than before.

The fact that she seemed to share quite a few similarities to a fox didn't bother him in the slightest. After all he was a one eyed white haired man so far from him to be prejudiced about appearances.

But that hardly explained it to himself why he'd brought her straight home. He could have just taken her to a shelter. Those were plenty and one was even nearby.

He just shook his head and turned the faucet off as the glass in his hand was filled and he returned to the living room.

"You must be thirsty. The hot chocolate is still not quite done yet so this will have to do for a bit before you can warm up." He says as he holds the glass out to the girl.

Sounds good to me!

[peninhand]

That wasn't how she had pictured her first moments in the real world. It was as if the universe was trying to screw her over even when she succeeded at getting what she wanted. Nobody she had asked help to had wanted to help her, forcing her to remain all alone in that alley. Nobody treated her like a human... Not to speak of the changes that came with such a status— And those ears weren't even the worst of it. She'd already been desperate for affection back in the game, but now it felt like she was going to die unless she received any. No, actually all of her emotions seemed to be exacerbated. Sorrow, fear... Loneliness.

Pet-person... What kind of silly concept was that? ... Well it was kind of a cute concept, truth to be told. And she could even have liked it, had she been with someone who loves her and not forced to sit all alone in a dark alley, soaking under the rain and afraid of what might happen to her next. She'd been particularly afraid when a man had approached her. But then? He'd treated her fairly and had taken her home. Perhaps it was a blessing the rain had hidden how much she had been crying, or then she would have really looked pathetic.

"T-Thank you so much...!"

Her reply was immediate when he handed her over the glass, Monika beamed at him as she held it with both of her hands, as if she was afraid of dropping it. She was so lucky that he'd found her... He seemed like a good person and he was treating her humanly. Even before her current predicament, that would have been enough for her to feel as if her savior deserved all the love in the world. She took a sip from it, before looking back up at him.

As if acting instinctively, she leaned forward and rested her head against his shoulder, before rubbing her nose against him. It lasted only a second though before she pulled away, face reddening as she realized what she'd just done. Oh gosh, was that one of those "pet-people" thing? She wanted affection, but still...

"Oh, I'm so sorry...! I don't know what came through me..."

[redeyedslasher]

Ah maybe that was it. Perhaps he'd seen a bit of himself in her. His past self. The psyche was a strange beast like that. Regardless seeing her so overjoyed with attention from him and even a simple glass of water made him a bit at a loss for words. That instinct to mess and fool around with such easy pickings for reactions. Really a bad habit he'd picked up in recent years but for now he managed to keep it in check.

He definitely wouldn't be so vain as to genuinely call himself a good person. But then given what Monika had to deal with since making it to the real world, it was little wonder she'd be so trusting of anyone who showed even a crumb of kindness. The nose rubbing was peculiar indeed though given that aside from the tail and ears she still looked like a lovely young woman. The blushing really didn't help keep his urge to tease in check either.

"Oh? Was it that strange for you? It seemed like a pretty natural reaction from where I was standing." he hummed bemused at her flustered countenance.

[peninhand]

Natural...? It had felt natural. Too natural, perhaps. She'd always been very affectionate ever since her epiphany, but never to that point. Unlike Sayori, she was able to control her hugging urges. Guess that came with what she was now.

"Aah, I guess... I'm not very used to it."

As soon as she'd spoken the words, she realized just how weird they sounded. She was supposed to have been this way for her entire life, right? So she probably should try to behave appropriately. If she got started with the whole thing about being a sentient video game character who'd hacked her way into the real world, he would send her straight to the insane asylum. Or whatever equivalent they had for pet people here.

"I mean... I was alone for a very long time..."

And it wasn't a lie. Even her friends had stopped feeling like people after a while, it had been just her in a tiny reality. She looked down for a moment. Just thinking about it made her long for affection even more... But she had to resist. If she rushed into hugging him or nuzzling against him, what would he think?

[redeyedslasher]

Break trained his single red eye on the girl as if it might be able to peer into her very soul before he flashed her a bright seemingly carefree smile. She was definitely a mystery since her words weren't quite clicking the right way. Still he didn't think she was a threat of any kind and that peculiar impulse that had overcome him to meddle in her situation, was flaring up again.

"I see. It does sound like you've been through quite a bit, even in this clown show we call a world." Break chuckled before he produced a lolipop from a pocket and popped it into his mouth with the stick almost resembling a cigarette.

"Well I didn't think you'd want to wait in the rain for this but it does behoove me to keep to formalities. My name is Xerxes Break. You can call me Xerxes or Break, whatever works for you." He certainly didn't sound like he was in a rush to chase her out.

Jet Black | Cowboy Bebop | OTA

[issp]

( He’d be a mutt — refuses to be owned, independent. Probably was “owned” a few times in his youth but now he’s older and not very appealing. Still a bounty hunter. Can also be played straight as a human as well but he wouldn’t “own” anyone. Probably an activist for pet person rights. Cool with all prompts; knotting and the works can be included or excluded if requested. )

aether; genshin impact

[ironwind]

( either role. as a pet, he's probably an affectionate cat. as an owner... he probably still likes cats, but i'm up for him owning anything. he's patient, relaxed, and has few requirements. m/m for shipping or smut; ota for gen, since i'm happy to play this scenario in a platonic way. )

[ Honestly she's probably like a lizard or snake lady? If that's not a vibe you like though also works for like a prickly dog. Open to both positions though and tbh might suit master better in some instances. ]

Harleen Quinzel | DC TNHC | OTA

[drpuddin]

[ As an owner she's most likely dominant but affectionate! Harley loves canines so as a pet she'd be one. ]
