[Episode 128007] [Episode 128007]
This started with the fact that the slaves were required to wait until the approved times of the day before being allowed to relieve themselves. Of course there was no such thing as privacy during that act or any other. In fact the toilets came in a variety of shapes and forms, all of which were on raised platforms, and making a display of the act was yet another requirement. Makoto really hoped she didn’t end up with a Master who had this sort of interest, but the staff meant to ensure satisfied customers, no matter what the preferences of that customer might be.
As always, punishment awaited those whose performance did not measure up in some way. In this case, there were a number of devices in alcoves, twisted constructs of plumbing, nozzles, and moving brushes, that that a slave could be strapped into. (And that would also be strapped into the slave.) Those who flunked the test or had not yet been forgiven for previous failings might spend what would normally be a free period being thoroughly cleansed, inside and out, by such a device.
The shower facilities showed a similar brand of eccentric ingenuity, with nozzles mounted in a number of positions and angles. All the nozzles had multiple settings and were under the control of the staff, not the merchandise. Taking a shower could be a bit of an adventure as the force, angle, temperature, and pulsating pattern of the spray might change without warning.
Despite the harsh conditions in other respects at the auction house and associated pens, the shower facilities were stocked with a wide selection of scented soaps, skin creams, and hair-care products. The facilities also included a few baths, but only slaves who had been very good would be rewarded with a hot soak.
After the showers came meal time and free time. The meal was rice, vegetables, and some bland but presumably nutritious glop. They could have as much as they wanted, but it wasn’t the sort of food to encourage feasting or gluttony.
Free time meant the slaves were allowed to wander a bit, talk, and play, under supervision of course. Makoto’s somewhat disreputable record and reasons for being here made her a designated toy to be played with, rather than a slave to be allowed to play. Nabiki, the toy from across the hall, was again in tight bondage as her cellmates got in some playtime.
Ryokou, rich girl and effective leader of the group, made use of her toy’s skilled and eager mouth while the other two worked on the other orifices. Rolly, with some Amazon heritage evident in her green hair and mischievous green eyes, demonstrated some alternative uses for the vegetables from the meal. The busty and ever helpful Gumi, also with Amazon heritage if her purple hair was any indicator, prepared those vegetables with the gloppy portion of the meal. The use of this sauce as a lubricant may have been taken into account by the kitchen staff when the meal was prepared. That, at least, would explain the consistency of the substance and lack of spices that might irritate sensitive tissues (or provide flavor).
Makoto’s own cellmates chose to make use of her knowledge of muscles and the aftereffects of exercise for a good massage. The guards provided oils and creams for this purpose.
A few of the guards were simple thugs, but most had skills beyond the ability to bind slaves and make them suffer. Many had dreams of eventually becoming fully recognized and licensed Trainers. Being a Trainer (as a title rather than just a job description) meant one not only had to be able to provide the sort of conditioning and discipline seen that morning but more advanced techniques. A Trainer was a fashion consultant, beautician, and choreographer. They provided instruction in social graces, domestic skills, and a massive catalog of pleasuring and service techniques.
So as Makoto massaged the weary muscles of her cellmates (and spread a healing but not very soothing cream over Nana’s red bottom and thighs) she received tips on doing so from guards with skills of their own in that area. In some of the common areas there were also makeup tables, salon chairs for hair styling, provisions for manicures, wardrobes of costumes and cheap jewelry, and the like. Slaves were invited to use these to experiment and receive instruction from guards.
In some subjects, it was more a matter of being worked on by guards. This was an institution known for handling problem cases, and the merchandise was kept under tighter security than would be the case for other auction houses. For example, hairstyling required the slave to be securely strapped into the chair before scissors or other cutting implements were brought anywhere near the subject.
Most of all, this was a period to talk and interact with one’s fellow slaves. Many of these women were going to end up with Masters who already had at least one slave or wife, and serving a master in such cases was a team effort. It also meant being able to get along with one’s sister-slaves in service to that Master.
