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.

We should be home in a day and then you can recover and we can both shrug off a few centuries, if only for days at a time.
no subject
Mmm. I like the sound of that. Even if only for a few days here and there that's more than we've had in a long time.
no subject
It is. But we do deserve some rest, no matter what story your mind has spun about worth.
no subject
Rest, yes. That does sound nice... [And though he feels guilty for it he can't help the small voice inside of himself agreeing with Fingon. Just for a little while, it should be fine for him to rest a little while. Right?]
no subject
It is more than nice, it is needed. For both of us. I may look prettier and more well rested but that doesn't mean I am. [He teases gently.]
no subject
You are always pretty. Even when you look like you have not rested in weeks. [He teases back.]
no subject
I must stay pretty for my husband, he might come home from the war and forget why it is that he loved me so.
no subject
Impossible! I would have a greater chance of forgetting my own name than that! [He laughs.]
no subject
Mmmn you never know. Though I think you would always answer to me calling for my Maitimo, even if you forgot it was your name.
no subject
I do know. I would if it came from your lips. I'd feel it in my heart it was me you called for.
no subject
I would let my fëa reach for you even in the depths of that mined out hell. We would find out understanding again.
no subject
We would. All I'd need to do is look into your eyes and I'd find the most important parts of myself again.
no subject
You sang for me when I played even though you had little will or song left in you. You always find yourself for me.
no subject
It felt like waking up from a long and terrible sleep when I first heard you there. Had it been anyone else I likely would have believed them a figment of my imagination and kept silent. But... I knew you. I knew you were real and so I sang, even though I'd long believed I'd never have the strength in me to do so again.
no subject
Despite everything I was sure you would have done the same for me were our positions reversed. Even if it was just to slay you and spare you more misery, I could not leave without finding you.
no subject
I would have. I would not have been able to keep myself from going to you knowing you were there. I was happy to see you, it was the first time in a long while I'd felt even a spark of joy. To see you again, even though I fully believed it would be for the last time, made me feel joy even despite the pain and despair that had become my constant companions.
no subject
Mama did worry about him a lot, yes. I did my best to act unbothered by the many rebuffs I received on account of being my fathers son but I know that worried her too. [Fingon allows himself to sink just a bit against Maedhros. Not enough to burden the weakened elf, but enough to feel closer despite the smooth planes of his armour keeping them from touching more.]
I was close to trying the iron gate. I am glad I played first. I do not think even I am clever enough to slip by unnoticed by the black hearts that guard that place. We are lucky Thorondor favoured us for I could not reach you alone. I will never be able to repay him. [Or Manwë, whose will he was no doubt enacting.]
no subject
Father could be terribly cruel with his words, a thing my brothers unfortunately decided to emulate. She was not wrong to worry about either of you. I worried about both of you whenever they were treating you like that. I don't think anyone could be truly unbothered by such treatment. [It is no burden to have Fingon lean against him, weakened state or no. Closeness to him has only ever been a comfort.]
I'm glad as well. I'd have been much less joyfull had you been nailed to that cliff right next to me. Thorondor are owed many thanks, I feel, for the kindness he's done for us. [And though he still have a lot of anger for the Valar he'd thank Manwë as well for it.]
no subject
I knew from the day I met them that this was how things were to be so I did my best to let it roll off my back. And you all did not hate me so it was not so bad.
Maybe they would have let me hang in a way I could play my harp. [He muses, snorting softly in quiet amusement.] I do wish we saw the eagles more often but I believe they mostly keep Turu company these days.
no subject
It was not right how they acted. Father should have set a better example for them despite his own feelings on the matter. It was not kind to you nor was it kind to my brothers to let them grow up believing such behaviour was correct.
[Maedhros let's out a soft huff of laughter.] And let us interupt their gloom and doom by singing pretty songs at them? I think not. It would be nice to be able to say thank you when I'm not delerious from bloodloss.
no subject
My good uncle hated me most of all. Your brothers were at least sometimes amused with me, though rarely kind or good. I was as dirt upon their slippered princely feet.
Oh I would still sing at them, unless they cut out my tongue then I would have to work out how to turn a mountain into a drum. But perhaps the eagles will visit again. Sadly I cannot take you to Turu. Even I do not know the way.
no subject
He did. It hurt that he did so despite knowing I was quite fond of you. Not that he knew to what extent I held you dear, but the fact that I held you dear at all should have softened his heart for my sake if nothing else. The same with my brothers. Even if they could not bring themselves to be civil for your sake they should have at least had the curtesy to be so on my behalf.
You would, wouldn't you? [He smiles fondly despite knowing full well cutting out the tounges of their prisoners were quite a common practice there.] If they do I'll have to thank them properly. Perhaps even gift them something nice as thanks. Though I am unsure what they'd enjoy when it comes to gifts.
no subject
I am too much my father's son for him to ever have love of me, even if he wanted to soften for your sake. He could not stand how much I looked like him... though we all looked like each other if I may say so. Kano at least liked me. Possibly because I always fond of playing music, yet not better than him. Not quite.
If I must be captive I will be as annoying as possible. If nothing else, it passes the time. [His tongue hardly seemed like the worst thing they could cut off, anyway. And with luck he might bleed to death.]
Though they have not hands they admire our crafts. We could work out a gift worthy of such mighty beings. Something for them to keep in their eyries.
