conversations.value: Paladin: Julian was one of the finest gladiators in the city.  Tall, strong, and handsome, he drew crowds wherever he went.  Women wanted him; men wanted to BE him, and together they cheered his name every time he set foot in the arena.  Though a slave himself, Julian had great value and his master went to great lengths to keep him happy.  That was what brought Phineas, manager of the arena, to the slave market that day."I want a girl," Julian had said the night before.  The two men were eating together at the end of a long day and Phineas had shrugged, laughing.  The manager of the arena was a portly man, pleasant and round-faced, not the sort of man you'd expect to be involved in bloodsport.  In truth, few died in the arena these days, it was a show and good gladiators were an expensive resource; no one wanted to waste them."Friend," Phineas said as he wiped a hand over his bald head.  "You've many of those vying for your attention.  Simply show some interest and they'll be all over you.  No need to complain to me about it.""No, not a woman...a girl."  Julian smirked.  "A young one.  I've got a fancying for something a little more fresh if you get my meaning.  A slave of my own who can share my bed and keep me company down here."Phineas had been surprised, but such things were hardly unheard of.  They talked for some time about the sort of girl Julian wanted and the next day he'd gone down to the slave market.  He always hated visiting the markets...so much misery and unhappiness in such places, and the smell was dreadful.  Still there was a good crop of young girls for sale this day and if his wife wouldn't cut out his heart with a kitchen knife for daring to do so he'd be tempted to bring one home himself.He walked down the rows of slaves, looking at each one and paying a little attention to the slavemasters calling out the virtues of their young cargo while making a decision of his own.

conversations.value: Smallguy25: Some people were just meant to be born slaves. So it was with Alexandria, who had won the most unfortunate lottery of having both her parents born slaves, and her grandparents slaves besides. Slavery was all she had known. Whether it was waking up in the morning to take care of a cramped houseful of complaining children or being traded back and forth, forced to walk dusty, rough roads with bare feet, she had known naught but servitude from the day she was born. Despite exceptional violet eyes and blonde hair that looked like gold when cleaned properly, she was often little more than property. It was fortunate for her that none of her masters had the appetite for those under sixteen; unfortunately, Alexandria's body was beginning to develop now, her hips just slightly wider, breasts sore from preparing to grow. Still, at the tender age of eleven, her beauty still managed to take shelter under her nubility.Not for much longer, it seemed. The eyes of the men wandering over her body prickled her skin, filthy as it was. She was in her own cage; when her latest household had decided to trade their cute maid in for one that was more experienced and mature, with bigger breasts besides, Alexandria was sent to a wholesale market rather than traded off to a family friend. Here, everyone seemed to have a vested interest in raping her with their eyes, and any attempt she made to cover her breasts and sex with her palm only drew their interest, and the strike of a riding crop as well.Her price, from what she heard, was high. Blonde girls were a rarity, and violet eyes were even more so. She heard him praising her developing body, her unusually well-kept skin, her long, golden locks. Forget her ability to stay quiet for days on end, to wait upon a master patiently and without complaining. Alexandria bristled. Was she just mere meat to these men? She was a slave, damn it! So much more than a cunt and two tits, and that was all they saw in her?

conversations.value: Paladin: Phineas passed many girls by.  Some looked too thin, others too defiant.  Some looked weak and sickly, while others simply were too old or too young.  He wandered from one slaver to another and finally stopped before a girl with blond hair and striking violet eyes.  She looked angry, maybe a little defiant, but she wasn't fighting and Julius had specified he didn't want a wilting violet.  What truly struck him about the girl though were her eyes; he'd never seen violet eyes before.  If his wife wouldn't have murdered him on the spot, he might have considered buying her for himself, but as it was the woman had sworn she'd take a knife to him if he ever brought a slave girl in the door.This girl was something special though.  He could tell that right away.  He immediately turned to the slaver and named a price.  Asking would just cause the man to state a price that was ridiculously high.  The slaver acted appalled, swearing that his family would starve if he let such a prized slave go for such a low price.  They haggled until they finally arrived at a price that was appropriate, and the man opened the cage and let the girl out, Phineas helping her down to the ground.  His hands didn't wander and he set her in front of him.  "There you go, young Miss...come along now, I'll take you to get cleaned up and then we'll introduce you to your new master."

conversations.value: Smallguy25: She could hear the price of her body being haggled over. When the man first proposed a price, she thought her hearing had been wrong. That was all she was worth to him?! Hell no. She would not go with a master who valued her little more than trash. Though she was a slave, she was a proud slave; she needed to be treated right to have her full potential unlocked. As the haggling went on, she found herself a little satisfied by the price they reached. Hmph. Maybe it wasn't so bad after all.When the cage opened and warm hands lifted her to the ground, Alexandria did not so much as wiggle. She was used to being manhandled, tossed from place to place. At least he was gentle. Apparently, however, he was not her master either. Well...who was, then? "Yes, sir," she whispered in a demure voice. "What should I call my master? Is there anything he wants of me before I meet him?"

conversations.value: Paladin: (I'm sorry for the wait as well.  I've been working full time at my new job, though that's actually about to go down to part time shortly so I'll have more time.)Phinneas nodded at the girl's polite tone.  At least she wasn't going to try to fight him or kick and scream.  He really couldn't stand being around screaming children, especially girls.  He always felt the urge to Do Something to help them and it was really quite unbecoming of a man who was supposed to be inured to suffering and bloodshed.In truth, people almost never died in the gladiatorial arenas these days.  Gladiators were valuable.  Training one could take years, and training a GOOD one could take even longer.  Most fights were merely shows, with the loser paying some sort of forfeit to the winner, with kneeling and dramatically begging forgiveness before the crowd being one of the most common.  Accidents happened, of course, they always would when people fought and it had to look good for the crowd, but they were rare and that was how it should be.  Anything else would have been a dreadful waste of life and money."Your new master will be Julius, the gladiator," he said in answer to her first question.  "You needn't worry, as gladiators go he's actually quite a civilized fellow, and he lives fairly well.  I imagine he'll take good care of you."  If she was able to handle the man in bed, of course...he wasn't quite sure how well that would go over and he wasn't going to bring up the truth of her duties just yet.  He didn't want her panicking in a public place if she didn't know.Her last question made him ponder for a moment.  She was a mess.  Julius probably wouldn't wand her brought to him this way.  "The bathhouse first," he said after a moment.  "And I'll have some fresh clothes sent for while you bathe.  I don't think he'd thank me for bringing you in looking like a ragamuffin...even a lovely one."

conversations.value: Smallguy25: Her eyes widened. A gladiator? A big, cruel brute who would use her as if she was some sort of animal? Alexandria could not hide a shudder. Still, she set her jaw and kept her back ramrod straight. She was a good slave, the best. She could serve any sort of master, no matter how monstrous they might be. She knew, however, that this master might be requesting things of her that she had not given before... Her body throbbed with fearful anticipation. Could he break her if he did that to her? Would she be able to stay strong?"Yes sir,' she said politely. "Where is the bathhouse? Is there anything I need to know?" She ignored his comment about being lovely, for now. She was more than just lovely, after all.

conversations.value: Paladin: She was nervous, Phinneas could tell that.  He supposed he couldn't blame her.  She didn't know the sort of man Julius was, not like Phinneas did.  Why...the gladiator was positively civilized, and not just for a gladiator either.  She'd see soon enough.  "I'll lead the way, just stay close to me and don't wander off, the streets might nob be safe for you on  your own."It was a big city, and while likely it would be safe enough in daylight it was not hard to imagine that there would be those who might target a slave girl wandering alone.  Thus he kept a close eye on her as they walked through the streets, Phinneas' eyes roaming the area until at last they reached the bathhouse, a large stone building a few blocks from the coliseum.He paid the price of admission and handed her off to a pair of young women who served as attendants at the bath, giving them instructions on how to take care of her, then he headed off and went to get some new clothes for her.  He had her old, ragged ones passed out to him for size and wrinkled his nose as he walked to the nearest clothiers to see if they had any readily available.Fortunately they'd put in a large order for some childrens' clothes just recently and the order wasn't due for a time.  Phinneas dropped some extra money to the tailor and walked away with a new set of clothes for the girl; Julius could reimburse him later if he was so minded.  By the time he got back with the clothes he passed them to the attendants and sat down to wait for the girl to be finished with the bath.
