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.
Snagged from here.

One small hand grasps a hold of the chain holding Jim's wrist shackles together, and he looks up at the man's face. Bickering with the Zhents is only going to keep them here longer, and after a moment, the gnome's hackles go back down. "Fine." He says. "Good to see you're all scared of him. Maybe I didn't overpay, after all."
They should be scared of him. They should be scared of the Ironhands, too. He's going to look these shackles over closely for a maker's mark, when he gets a chance.
"Right," he says. "Keep pace with me. I know your legs are longer, you don't have to show them off."
He'll go as fast as he dares, though. As fast as he can, and still retain a sense of control and decorum. The moment they're out of earshot of the market, the shackles are coming off.

The wrist shackles drop to the ground and bare his raw skin to the open air for the first time in days.
"Balderan's bones that's better. I thought I was going to have to try something desperate to get out of there." Jim flexes his hands a little, glad to have them free once more. "Whatever were You doing down there, Barcus?"
no subject
The question sort of makes him want to sucker punch Jim in the leg, but since he's not sure how seriously the man is injured, he doesn't follow through on the impulse, just frowns up at him. "Looking for information. Word on the street is there are gnomes in the Iron Throne. Political prisoners."
"And you? You're supposed to be cleverer than this. How did you let the Zhentarim get their claws in you?"
no subject
It's so good to be able to stretch his arms, his neck, his shoulders. Everything again. Jim's tired and hungry but he's been in worse situations by now than a bit of light captivity. No one almost bled out or anything!
"Believe me I tried. We split up in the lower city looking for information on the two other Champions. Someone must have slipped something into my drink while I was taking an information trader for a dance at the pub, because next thing I know I'm going to throw up or faint, and the next thing after that I was already in chains down there."
