DJ blinked a few times before sighing, running a hand through her hair. "Aw, geez...Whelp, hope you're comfy, cause this is gonna take a minute."<br/><br/>She hugged Alice close and nuzzled at her again. "Sorry, I'm a cuddler." She giggled before starting. "So, you've got two kinds of people in this town. You've got your Aplhas," She held up her hand, the symbol of the Alpha flashing across the top, "and then you've got your Betas." The Alpha symbol shifted suddenly to that of the symbol of the Beta, the same symbol that appeared on Alice and Jon the second they set foot into Kriss, though they may not have noticed. "Each are entitled to their own privalages, though the most prominent thing comes to the terms of 'ownership'."<br/><br/>She stood up and walked over to her dresser, opening the bottom drawer and fishing out a golden collar laced with black velvet. "This used to be mine. Given to me by a previous owner. I beat her in a test of dominence one day, though, and managed to earn my title as an Alpha." There was a beat of silence. "...I haven't seen her since..."<br/><br/>She put the collar back and smiled to Alice once more. "Anyways, as Betas are the submissive class, they are subject to the domination attempts of the Alpha. What the Alpha decides to do with that mind of power varies, but they've done anything from subject a Beta to slavery to pet hood or sometimes, best case scenario, just simple companionship. A Beta is allowed to deny the Alpha after three days if the Alpha fails to show the ability to meet all of the Beta's needs, though I have yet to see something like that happen.<br/><br/>"Another cool thing is that Alpha are allowed to gain a position of power or just special privalages by gaining such status. For example, this place used to belong to a really crappy owner before I beat the crap outta him and took it for myself. Others will start a business or join the city council in order to use that power to inspire change, but sometimes they just do the typical 'bwahaha, I'm better than you' stuff."<br/><br/>She seemed a little embarrassed. "It's kinda hard to explain. If you asked a couple specific questions I may be able to fill the gaps."
