Jessica asked me some questions via a PM but I think I'll answer them here so that we all know how I'm thinking on such matters.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Do the pets start with their restraints already on, and I take it they're already modified? Is it bright enough to see other pets, or dark enough to prevent them being seen for a time, at least until their eyes have adjusted? And I presume it's OK for a character to start off with no idea what's going on, only that they've somehow ended up here, in the cage. I've started putting together an intro in my head, mostly because the hotel evening entertainment is absolutely abysmal and leaves one gasping for something more substantial!<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Yes, already modified per your dog character sheet. We'll invent some easy and quick way for the Club Staff to make any modifications an owner might want in addition though I'm unsure how we can apply this to rented dogs - which is what I was assuming we would mostly be playing the game with... so how any other mods are done I'm now not sure since the owners are just renting them, not buying them. If owner players have plans to buy that's fine but I think it would be nice to lend your dog to another owner for a session now and again since I'd love to play with all the dogs, each is appealing in different ways.<br/><br/>The Cage room will have daylight during daytime and lights in the evening but be dark at night. The dog training staff like to mess with them but exhausting them with 24/7 lighting isn't something the customers would like so assume a normal regime of light and dark in the Cages.<br/><br/>The pets can be completely nude (apart from collars which are always on) or have a set of paws and thigh-highs - your option. Dumb dogs would never stand up anyway but the intelligent ones might so the forced-kneeling thigh-highs might be more commonly on as a precaution to stop escape. If they were on it's likely the paws would be on too otherwise an intelligent animal might attempt to take the thigh-highs off.<br/><br/>Yes, you can give your dog any story you like as a background, from previously being owned in another country for a year or two (highly experienced and able to hide the human traits) to freshly captured, altered and then drugged unconscious to wake up in a place they don't know with new and terrifying experiences - the dog may not even realise its in another country until people start talking French around it.<br/><br/>As to language we should assume everyone is speaking French. The owners are intelligent worldly people so probably know at least English as well, so there would be ways to communicate with the dogs. My Japanese girl will know no French at all and her English will be limited so there is scope there for some D/s play over her failure to understand some commands and it may be best to make her obey gestures.<br/><br/>DM's Spanish dog may also have some language problems? That's up to DM.
