As much as he didn't like it, Blade allowed himself to be led along with the rest. As with Neko, he knew this wasn't exactly the time to try and break free. He'd need to regain some of his strength, as well as observe how things went here. From there he'd have to try and devise some sort of plan to get out.
When they rejoined Tessa, he saw that Riyo and Tobi were there as well. He wasn't sure but it seemed that Riyo was feeling better now; most likely due to the shot Atticus had given her before this whole fiasco started. But that was a relief, and the dog seemed to be alright too.
With a sigh, he shifted a bit, soon frowning as it seemed they were going to be redressed. Seeing how his current attire had been enchanted to be flame resistant... to.. help avoid embarassing accidents when using magic, he wasn't exactly keen on losing it. But at this point he supposed there wasn't much he could do about it.
Hopefully they won't be put into something ridiculous though.

As they were led into a dressing room, Atticus could only guess what was about to happen. Though, he hoped they would find no need to change his attire.
Then Riyo was led into the room. Atticus looked over to their long lost 'friend' with a slight relief. In all honesty, she looked better than the rest of them. "Looks like you're in good health." He said to Riyo, just now noticing the dog was with her. Didn't cats hate dogs?
Riyo couldn't help but smile as she saw all of her friends. She looked like she was going to say something for a moment, but bit her tongue when she remembered what she was doing. "Nyuu!" She spoke instead, giving all of them a pleasant wave.
Atticus had momentarily forgot what they'd planned, but caught on quickly. "Y-you behave for the nice people, now." He hoped that everyone would catch on when he spoke that sentence. Looked like he was right. They'd leave him with his clothes... And dignity in tact.
When the men were led away from the women, Riyo's smile was cleared off her face. And within a second of that happening, she had a shark circling her. What was this now? Something... Exotic? She could only ponder what was meant there...
As Tessa ran her fingers through Riyo's hair, the feline shivered. She wasn't used to this kind of contact with another person... And honestly couldn't say if she liked or hated it.

Luckily for the men there wasn't going to be any revealing clothing. At least not at the moment. Tessa was more intent on showing men for their class because it was often lonely rich woman that came to bid of them. So when the men were forced into the side of the room separated with a curtain they were all handed clothes that looked similar to what Atticus wore. Sleek black dress pants, shined black shoes, button down collar white shirts with brass buttons, and black bow ties.
"Whats with the monkey suite?" Neko muttered as he was handed his outfit.
"Dress quickly." Was his only reply though he wasn't so sure that he wanted to try. He was being stared at from all angles. Whether the men in Tessa's group were keeping an eye on them or....'keeping an eye on them' Neko wasn't sure but it sent an unsettling quiver up his spine.
---
"I've got it!" Tessa jumped excitedly at her revelation as she circled back around to Riyo's front. She almost looked like a little kid she was so excited. "Jared, go get the crushed velvet dress, the white one with the veils. Its very goddess like it will be perfect." Placing her hands at her cheeks she seemed to gush at the very thought.
Completely distracted in her fantasy she moved toward Mitsu and looked her over as well. Small, not much of a figure, but she had a cute child-like face. "I think I'm going to make ye into a little doll." She smiled brushing some hair out of Mitsu's face before she backed away a little more behind Hitsu. "And you," Tessa looked Hitsu over. This was going to be a tough one. She was easily showing the figure of an adult but she was short like the white haired girl. "Let's see for ye." Tessa placed her hands on Hitsu's shoulders to force her to spin for her. The tuxedo tail caught her attention and she wondered how she could play that up.
Just as soon as Jared came back with the dress for Riyo, Tessa's eyes lit up. Something exotic but innocent. "Jared, remember the Grecian dress? The long white one with the straps?"
"Aye ma'am."
"Fetch that for this young lass here," Tessa smiled content with your choice, all she had to do was pick out the right dress for Mitsu.

Blade looked back and forth between Atticus and Riyo for a moment. It didn't take long for him to figure that Riyo was apparently playing dumb and innocent for now. Not a bad plan, since whenever they start to break free, the people here shouldn't see it coming. At least that's what he hoped.
Waving back before being ushered into the dressing area, he looked at the clothes given to him and sighed. Not exactly his style. That, and he really would have preferred to change somewhere where there weren't a bunch of other guys around. He'd like to be able to keep some of his dignity after all.
So, he was a bit hesitant on getting on with it. But after a few moments had gone by, the thief shook his head to himself and just started to change clothing while trying not to think about who was around and such. Doing so, he briefly revealed several scars around his body; one being a deeper scar on the right side of his chest. That and a tattoo of sorts on his right arm.
Before long, he had the new attire on, which he felt slightly awkward in. It fit, but it just... was odd to him. He wasn't exactly sure if he liked it either.

It really was maddening, wondering which of them was going to come up with a plan, and how exactly they were going to know when and how to act. Until then, all they could do was bite their tongues and obey, from the look of things.
Yuki wasn't so sure about holding his tongue when he was shoved his own set of clothing. He wrinkled his nose in clear disgust. Seriously? He... Supposed they should be counting their blessings that they were apparently going to be fully clothed. He could only imagine the worst out of a place that had such horrible sounds... And smells to it.
To say that dressing was awkward would have been an understatement. Both being supervised and uneducated on just how someone wore such attire made sure that Yuki was in even worse of a mood when he was finished. Here he'd have figured that impossible.
Hitsu wasn't sure what to think of the whole thing, either. All she knew for sure was that she was frightened, but as of yet she was unsure on just what level she should be... That would surely set in soon. Very soon. She silently wondered just what she was expected to dress in, and why they had to do it out in the open. Silently she waited, anxiously wondering as well just how they were going to get out of this.

"Monkey suit?" Atticus mumbled, raising an eyebrow in Neko's direction and straightening his tie. Afterwards, he leaned up against the wall, watching all of them writhe in what he called good taste. Well, they hadn't been raised in a proper home like he had. So he supposed it was understandable.
It was frightening, how she began viewing them as eye candy instead of the living creatures that they were. She glanced from her, to her assistant. What... What were they getting dressed up for?

Following suit Neko dressed swiftly. He had a bit of a hiccup with the buttons having done them up off set so he had to redo them. As he went through unbuttoning his shirt he looked to Atticus. "Yes, monkey suit. This is barely functional for what I like to call life."
Straightening down the now properly buttoned shirt Neko just left it untucked and rolled back the sleeves.
((Sorry guys I can't even really think a whole lot right now XD; I can try to work in something with Tessa but really you can just imagine her forcing her way through dress-up and then marching them all to the auction area when thats done. So if you would like to rp your character being man-handled be my guest, if you need prompts I will help the best I can. RL has been a little brutal lately so you have to forgive my lack of help XD; ))

Once they were all done, Blade found himself being ushered back to where the girls were. It was irritating to be pushed around, but he tried to keep any impulses to struggle at bay. Shaking his head to himself, he glanced over at the three girls in their new attires. He wouldn't have ever expected to see any of them dressed like that but they were still quite pretty.
When he looked over at Hitsu, something came to mind. Without much more thought, he smiled a bit and made his way over towards her.
"They sure dressed you nicely..." he said as he brought up a hand and brushed a few fingers through her hair, "You're looking quite beautiful, all of you really."
The thief hoped dearly that Yuki will not attack him on the spot now that he's pulled this off.

Atticus scoffed at Neko's comment. "Least you don't look like something the cat threw up." He mumbled, emphasizing on the cat part, but still monotone nonetheless.
-----
Riyo was practically assaulted with a big, red, piece of cloth. It was... Most uncomfortable. She was perfectly able of dressing herself... Though, the way this thing went on, she doubted that even she'd be able to figure it out.
She couldn't help but feel a little helpless, being stripped of her clothing. Though, she did her best to make no protest. Just kinda... Closed her eyes and waited for it to be over.
And soon enough, it was. When she opened her eyes again, she was in this... Dress.
She looked down at herself with a raised eyebrow. It made her feel... Awkward. Pretty? Yes, it was. Suiting? Well... Not in her mind. She was no princess. And dressing as one gave a sense that she was being somewhat of a poser.
When the men were brought back over, she just stared at all the... Monkey suits.
"hehe..." She started, a big smile cracking through. "Ehehehehehe~" Goodness gracious, they looked funny.

Mitsu stood awkwardly behind Riyo just as unsure about her outfit as the rest. She had quietly stood by while Tessa dressed her and gave no protest, but the clothing...it was uncomfortable. The dress that Tessa had ultimately picked out was something one would see on a doll. White, lacy, with long sleeves but a short skirt. Somehow Tessa had manage to force stockings onto her legs and odd little white shoes that Mitsu could barely keep her balance in.
When the men were led back into the room and Blade commented on how they were dressed Mitsu actually blushed a little. Soft pink stained her cheeks as she looked down at her feet wringing her hands a little. "Uh...th...thank you."
"At least you can pull those outfits off," Neko finally tossed the tie he had off to the side giving up on it. "The rest of us look like stiff neck over here." He jerked a thumb in Atticus' direction pointedly.
"Alright, Alright," Tessa clapped her hands to get every one's attention, slave and slave trader a like. "It's time to move."
One by one each member of the group was accompanied by someone in Tessa's crew. They would be led up onto the stage in groups to be auctioned off. Finally they left the tiny dressing room behind to only follow a series of tunnels with twists and turns that had to be like a well laid labyrinth. At the end there was an open doorway onto a massive crowd of noisy people. There was so much going on at once it was hard to determine what was going on.
On the far left there appeared to be a fighting area where there was a rather large crowd gathered, cheering and booing filling that side of the room to a near deafening state. The fight was impossible to see through the ocean of people but it could no doubt be bloody from the smell in the air.
"This way!" Tessa called out over the noise having everyone led off to the right. The right side of the room seemed a little quieter but no less crowded. There were people screaming numbers and yelling bids, fighting over winnings and so on. It was chaotic to say the least.

In the morning, Shun was a bit slow to wake up. With a groan, he pushed himself to his feet, shaking his head a bit. For now he wasn't feeling too well and his arm ached a fair amount. Though, his current guess was that he just didn't sleep too well. So it wouldn't be anything to worry about. The next town shouldn't be too far off so they could get a little more rest there if need be.
At least there weren't any more of those hellish creatures around here. And hopefully they won't be running into them again soon.
He went ahead and changed the bandages on his arm. The wounded area seemed a little swollen, but it probably wasn't much of a problem. Once that was done he refilled his bottle with some water. After taking a drink, he looked around to see where Poke was. In his waking disorientation, he had somewhat forgotten that she was around.

poke was never a morning person, and after all the running she did yesturday she was still asleep when shun had woken up, however as he went about in his daze, she was stired from her sleep. Somewhat
"ugh...do I have to get up" she grumbled, rubbing her eyes and sitting up. She faintly remembered lasts night run in with those monsters, and looked behind her as if they were going to pop up out of no where. She also made a mental note to enqure about them in the next inn she could find.
And there was also the added problem of trying to find her friends. Her newer ones to be exact. Mabye she could enquire about them as well; a inn keeper would surely remember a group such as that one.

"Yes, you do," murmured Shun as he saw that Poke was still on the ground. And he thought he had a slow start to this day.
"The sooner we move out... the sooner we'll get to the next town."
With somewhat of a frown, he rubbed his arm and tried to shake off the last bits of disorientation. But for the time being he still wasn't feeling all too great. It wasn't enough to keep him from packing up supplies and whatnot though. Still he took his time, seeing how Poke wasn't even up and such yet.

She was quick to notice shun was rubbing his arm. She then remembered what had happened yesturday when he had injured his arm. He wasn't going to be very helpful for a while...
Suddenly, she was up on her feet. Grabbing the bag she rumanaged around for whatever food she could find, namely the last remenants of bread and cheese, and gupled them down before washing her face in the nearby lake.
"Okay, I'mr eady" she said after filling up her own waterbottle.

Once everything was set, Shun saddled up with Poke and started to head to the nearest town. Most likely, if they kept a good pace, they may have been able to reach it a little after nightfall. So hopefully there wouldn't be many needs for stops or detours along the way.
As time went on, he was finding himself to feel a little worse. Things didn't get better as the sun began to set either. The pain in his arm didn't let up much as well. Town couldn't be too further out, so he wanted to keep going. However, he slouched a bit as he urged the horse to continue on.
"Shouldn't be too much longer.."
