Welcome..

This is not Earth. This is a place that is similar, almost exact, in design and shape. There are oceans, rivers, forests, and even humans. Yet, they are not alone. There are many other races, some more rare to find than others, and yet they all live together. There is also something else that is different about this place. Where as slavery ended on Earth, it is thriving on this planet. Anyone can be a slave. If you are able to be controlled, then you are able to become a slave. There isn't much like for work, so slaves have done all the jobs that no one else wants to do. Some are simply for pleasure, some are for house work, and some are taken to do manual labor. Mostly though, slaves are used as pets. Companions of the home. It all depends on what person is strong enough to become a master.

Here, you will experience the hardship of being a slave, or the control and power of being a master. As a slave, it is up to you to decide on whether you will obey, or if you will rebel. As a master, you are in command to choose whether you will be kind, or if you are strict.

It's in your own hands to decide how you live this life.

Here's the story..

Our story takes place in the rural area outside of a large, highly populated city. Though the city life is busy and rushed, out here in the quieter areas of the country, life is calm. It is out here that a large area of land was bought by a young woman, and there that a new slave house had been built. There was the main store, which is where the slaves were kept during store hours, and there were the apartment style rooms where the slaves were moved to after the store had closed. Those rooms are also available to the customers while the store is open, for whatever purposes they chose. There was still some land left over, so there are fields of open grass, and even a forest out in the distance.

Inside the main building, it feels like a home more than a slave shop. Slaves are not always locked inside a cell. The cell's doors are never locked, unless needed. Some are allowed to roam the store, to mingle with customers. Only the dangerous and aggressive are kept constantly in a cell. The cells are kept to the back of the building, sort of like a pound. It's where the customers go when they wish to look around, while the front area is where a possible owner can 'try out' a slave before he buys them. The so called cells have a bed one one side of the room. There was a small room towards the wall opposite to the door, where a bathroom was. There is even carpet on the floors. After a slave has been at the store for a short amount of time, they will be allowed to sort of.. personalize their rooms. The front area has a living room, with several couches and chairs. There is also a kitchen, with a fully stocked fridge and freezer. If they can not find satisfaction, then the slaves each have their own rooms in a separate building, where they can request to take the slave. The store only closes at night, from 11 o'clock P.M. to 8 o'clock A.M. From 12 o'clock A.M. to 7 o'clock A.M. is lock down. Slaves are locked inside their room, where they are to sleep. In a slave's room is several rooms in one. There is a living room/bed room, there is a small kitchen, and there is even a bathroom. From 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock, the slaves are taken into the main building, where they will stay until the store closes again.

It's not luxury, but it's not torture

The owner doesn't like to call her store a slave shop, but she looks at it more as a pet shop. She treats them not like worthless slaves, but rather companions, and she expects her customers to do the same. Some stores specialize in the slave department, where they keep their property and sell them for work and labor, but this owner as specialized with slaves who are kept for company. She will not sell to someone with bad intentions for her pets. She loves each and every one of them like they were her own flesh and blood.

These are the rules, Don't break them.


Okay, these are your rules. I'm going to leave them simple, to the basic rules. I'm not very strict, but I don't want anyone to think that this is anything goes. Sorry, but there have to be limits.


Literate: Okay, now I know what you're thinking. Posts have to be this big, spelling perfect, pretty font, blah, blah, blah. Well, I'm not going to do that. Here are my rules: I want you to be Semi-Literate. That means more than just one sentence. Use details, describe your surroundings, something like that. You don't have to make huge posts. Now, if you want to, that's fine. Don't go overboard though. I don't need to know how long your finger is, or if you have twenty freckles on your nose, or stuff like that. Basic descriptions are okay. Don't make six paragraphs of nonsense, though. Also, no ** for your posts. Make it as if you were reading a book. Use " " around spoken words. Simple.

Respect: Respect me, your fellow role players, and Gaia. Follow Gaia's rules. Don't treat someone badly if they do not role play to your standards. Remember, I'm allowing Semi-Literate people. If you're Literate, then get over it. I don't want people making fun of others because they can't spell some giant word. We all make mistakes. Not everyone has spell check. As for me, I am the thread maker. Sure, I say I'm equal to you, but then I'm not. I can change the rules, and I will enforce the rules. I don't want anyone else telling other people that they've broken a rule. If you have a complaint, come and tell me, and I'll handle it.

Profiles: Profiles are to be put in the profile thread. Approval? No. I expect you to be capable of filling out a short profile that everyone can understand. I'm not going to have you send me a PM, with some hidden secret from the rules so I know you read them. If you choose not to read these rules, whatever. If you break them, then you have no one to blame but yourself. There will be a link to the profile thread here in the main thread, and I will have a profile layout for you to copy and paste. Simple, right?

PG-13: No nasty stuff in my thread! Kissing and suggestive language, to a limit, is okay, but do not go any further than what is suitable for a thirteen year old. No one wants to see that kind of thing in here. It's a slave and master role play, yes, but I am not going to lose my thread because you want to do the nasty out in public.

Other: These are a few extra rules bunched into one category. If you're going on a vacation or something, let me know, so I don't wonder if you quit or something. If I think you quit, then I will delete your profile, and you will have to remake the thing when you get back. Common curtsy, please. Keep up with your role plays. It's not going to be you post one day, and the next you start a new role play. Once you reply to someone, keep up with that person until your characters do otherwise. If someone is gone for too long, like if you have waited for several days and you have no reply, then I don't care what you do. Their fault for leaving you to yourself. Just.. wander off or something. Pay attention to the announcements. I'll tell you things like the weather, what time it is, things like that. I'll warn you if anything changes, but in case you are gone when I say something, check if you think something is different.



Those are the rules for now.

[_-OoGrace like RainoO-_]

Let me tell you who I am..

These is the profile format I want you to use for your characters. I'm not going to make it super hard to fill out. I just want the basics. Now.. It may it look a little fancy, but that's okay! It saves you from having to do it! A pretty profile is always so much more fun to read!

Note: All credit goes to Naomi the Shadow Wolf for the posting format! It was her format and I sort of took it and edited it, so I'm not taking any credit!

Now, if there is a part that you just can't fill out yet, like love or slave, then leave it blank! You're posting it, so you can edit it whenever you want! Yes, you can post your profile and still be working on it. I will not complain.

Masters.

Note: Most of the workers are going to be taken from slaves that come to the store. Their master will be the store owner. If you make a slave profile and that slave becomes a worker, just add the 'Extra' slot from the worker profile to your slave profile. Easy.

This is where you can find everyone..

This is where you'll be able to post your profiles, or where you can go and see the profiles of everyone else. It just makes it easier to have it in another thread, and it keeps me from having to worry about your profiles.

Profile Thread.



This is the OOC thread, where people can go to talk about the story, or anything really. You can bump for gold if you like, or bump to try and help get this thread going.

OOC Thread.


Notes: I've started on the posting formats in the OOC thread. Like it says there, if you have any questions or if you'd like help personalizing it, just talk to me. Thanks!

We have a very active OOC thread. Be sure to stop by and talk with everyone! It's nice to get to know everyone, and not just their characters.

There they stand, the innumerable stars..

A new day.

A new beginning.

A day of success..


Slowly, her eyes would open, and she would slowly raise her head. She blinked, then slowly let her eyes fall close once more.

The young woman had been sitting on one of the many recliner chairs in the first room of the main building. She had not been asleep, but rather.. resting. It had been a busy morning, and the store hadn't even opened just yet. She had been moving slaves to the back areas, where the cells were. Okay, so they were more like rooms with locked doors. The so called cells had a bed one one side of the room and a couch on the other. There was a small room towards the opposite wall, where a bathroom was. There was carpet on the floor, and soon she would be finding ways to personalize these holding areas.

The owner wasn't a cruel woman. She just liked things being done the right way. Some thought she was strict, others might believe she was mean. Most could only assume.

~~~

The woman had opened the shop, unlocking the front door. No one was here just yet, so she went to make a quick run through the back room, where the cells for the slaves were, to make a quick check on all of the slaves. She had to check on them constantly. They wouldn't be staying in these cells all day. She would have to pick out the ones she thought would be more social, and take them to wander around her shop. Customers liked to interact with the slaves, and she knew that well.

For now, she decided that she would look for the more.. friendly of her slaves. She needed to at least have a few in mind.

I was awake.

It was a new day.

Time to make the best of it.

That's what I've always lived by. No matter how hard things get, I'll always press on, I'll always look at the positives. Even though I'm trapped in this room, it could be a lot worse. I could be stuck in some cage, where the insides are rotting and the chains are pinning me down to the ground. I could have a horrible owner, I could... I could have nothing. This is a nice place, this room. I actually have a place to call my own, at least for a while. It's getting a little boring, though. I wish the store would open...

So I'll sing to pass the time.

Where I learned these songs is a mystery to me. I've just always known them... some of them I've learned through music sheets, but most have just been carried throughout with me. I think my ancestors smile upon me, and grant me their wisdom. Whatever the reason, I love to sing. So I'll do it until the head of the company comes by to check on me.

Well, at least that's what I've heard happens. This is my first day here, I've yet to meet the owner. I wonder what she'll be like... oh, and I hear she lets some of us have free roam of the shop. Maybe she'll let me... ah, either way I'm not to worried about it. So long as I can sing I am happy. I continue with my song as I think, and await my visit.

There they stand, the innumerable stars..

As she was making her way down the hall of doors, something struck her.

Music.

A voice. So smooth, so.. soothing. She took a moment to stop, deciding on exactly where it came from. It was down this hall, in a room on the right. She was sure of it.

She made her way to the door, looking through the window. The voice was coming from a man, though he was not human. She took one look at him and knew who he was.

She knew all of her pet's names.

She had yet to meet this one. She only knew it was him because he was the only new arrival so far. He had arrived early this morning, before the store had even opened. She had only had time to sign his papers. She could at least remember his name. So, with a quick flip of her wrist, a key was produced. She slipped the small key into the lock of the door, and before long, she had opened up the door.

" Ah.. Cesar. That was you singing, was it? "

The woman stood in the open doorway now, getting a better look at him. She was sure that he would sell rather quickly. He was a nice looking boy, and with that voice, he was to be quite popular. She flashed him one of her warm smiles, her silver eyes trying to meet his own.

He heard someone coming down the hall, footsteps getting closer. He ignored them, not particularly caring if it was some sort of guard or someone else. He continued his song. It wasn't until he heard the door open that he paused to look at his visitor.

'Ah, that must be her.' He stood up and made his way in front of her, a sincere smile on his face, "Why yes it was, milday. I rather enjoy singing, a passtime, of sorts...." He paused before saying again, "Well it seems that you already know my name, so could you perhaps grace me with your own? You are the owner of this shop, I presume?" Just by the way she had walked in he could already tell that she was a respectable person. Someone with high standards, yet reasonable and not cruel. That was the last thing he needed, a cruel store owner. There were far too many of them, and it wasn't like he could bear them, he just felt sorry for the ones that couldn't.

There they stand, the innumerable stars..

She watched as he got up from his seat and walked over to her. Those vibrant eyes of hers stayed fixed on him as he made his way over to her. The smile of hers was so calm, yet so warm, as if she was not looking at someone she had never met, but rather a member of her family.

He asked for her name, and she couldn't help but let out a quiet chuckle. He already guessed that she was the owner of the store.

" Alana-Ray, but to you, it's one or the other. Alana, or Ray. The two together just sounds.. so silly. "

Another light laugh. Her voice was almost musical in tone, beautiful..

Alluring..

She would take a few steps forward, until she was in distance of reaching out to him. She raised her arm, bringing her hand to his face. She lightly ran her fingertips along his cheek, slowing moving them against his skin before she would let them run through his hair.

Soft.

She soon was smiling again. Yes, he would be very popular. There was no doubt about that.

"Lady Alana? Such a beautiful name." He said, making an intricate bow to her , "Pleasure to meet you, milady. I'm happy I've found my way to your shop, it's a very nice place."

He stood up again, and before he knew it, a gentle hand was stroking his face. A little taken aback, he blushed he stared at her hand for a second, then looked into her eyes. Closing his own, he smiled softly, enjoying the touch. He began to purr when she made her way into his hair, a soft rumble coming from the depths of his chest. "hmmm..." He opened his eyes slightly and said, "Ah... that feels... nice...hmm..." He closed his eyes again, and lowered his head slightly.

What made her do that? Why was she so kind to him? Was this normal for her? All these questions ran through his head, puzzling him. But at the same time, very happy that she did what she did. It was a long time since he had anything relatively close to attention, his last master just wanting him to work around the house. He allowed her to go as long as she wanted with this, thoroughly enjoying it.

That blush had been simply adorable! She supposed it had been a bit unexpected, but she didn't care. She had to see how her pets reacted. She needed to feel as if she knew them well, so that when a customer asked about one, she would be able to give a truthful answer.

To be quite honest, she rather liked this one.

She continued to just lightly run her fingers through his hair, though by now she was already thinking about something else. She decided that he would surely be going out to roam the store. He seemed kind enough, and she was pretty sure that they wouldn't have any problems with someone like him.

He just seemed so.. lovable.

" Could you do me a favor, Cesar? Would you mind.. leaving your secondary room and joining me out in the lobby of our store? I could use some help getting ready for today. "

Sure, the store was already open, but there were no customers. That meant that there was time to tidy the place, and to do projects that she normally didn't have time for. He seemed like he would be a good help. He was easy enough to please.

He heard her question, but didn't immediately respond. The way she pet him was just so... relaxing. He never wanted it to stop. After a few seconds he opened his eyes and looked at hers, "I'd be happy to, Lady Alana." He didn't feel like flowering up his words this time, just that simple sentence was enough to convey what he was thinking. In fact, it was pretty much the only thing he was thinking.

'Ug... why must being pet be so... intoxicating? I almost can't think straight, it just... makes no sense...' He seemed to be one of the only ones who responded in such a way, the other slaves seemed either neutral or hated any sort of physical contact. Well, he couldn't tell here, he was in his own room, but in other places he had been it seemed to be the case.
