@ Everyone - Sophie eventually goes to Kaelyn. Veronica eventually will go to Ricardo. Poisin has agreed to make a slave character for Linda. James has no possible slave now. I am surprised that we haven't had many more subby players join to make slave characters. I think that needs addressing. If anyone knows a player who they think would be a good fit for this setting and can play a straight or bi-female slave then please contact them and extend an invite.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=141836.msg6376610#msg6376610">Quote from: MelisaArtemis on 02-06-2012, 02:25:52</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">My first post will probably involve my character arrives at the airport (I think the nearest airpost is Côte d’Azur International Airport) since I know that Monaco doesn't have airport. Of course, at this stage she might not be an official slave yet... that won't stop her from being naked though. I can probably arrange for BlackLightning's character to pick her up and bring her to BFA office to be registered as his (Probably encounter with urbanzorro's character since he is BFA official) don't have idea much further than that but we can come up with something :)<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>The nearest big city for almost all needs outside of Monaco is Nice, including an airport. However I always recommend to players in group games that you don't RP the "start up" part of a setting or relationship. This is because that can take a long time and while it is going on the two people involved in it are usually closed off to interaction with other players. I have seen a number (in fact simply loads) of group RPs die in the first weeks because everyone is in the 'start up' phase, there's less opportunity for interaction and people get bored.<br/><br/>I would like it please so that everyone in the story is already fully established in Monaco and has been there a month or so - those players who have slave characters should have them already enslaved and used to their slave existence. That way we can push immediately into the meat of the story without pages and pages of 'prep' interaction. My girl Karin has been ready for her slave life to start for several years and though she hasn't been formally trained, I plan to play th egame with her interacting fully with others from the outset and her training being done as we go.<br/><br/>Melisa, wouldn't Mizuki have been registered and collared in Britain before she travelled? I thought you said she had been gifted by her father to his son? That only makes sense if she was already her father's slave. It would be<em>highly</em>risky for an uncollared woman to travel alone at that age and she simply might not arrive! Non-slave women don't travel naked, that too is far too risky. While in the game I've given Free Women a good amount of protection - far more than they have in the comics - the world is still a dangerous place for women generally.<br/><br/>@ BlackLightning - okay, understood. How does Ryuuji operate? Does he have a luxurious slave showroom in the city on some street with a good address slotted in between the Versace and Armani boutiques and with a Lamborghini showroom across the street? If he's working legally then he probably does.<br/><br/>Remember everyone that the BAF accepts only those females who don't have a close male relative and those whose Freedom Fee has not been paid. These are collectively called 'public slaves' and actually don't have an owner. They then train them. For private slaves that are retained by their family, the girl is taken along to the local BAF office (was until recently Nice, it's now Monaco), here they are registered and supplied with a collar. The training of these girls is down to the owner. The registration process includes still and video image recording of the naked individual, measuring of the various attributes (all nicely invasive of course) and fingerprinting and DNA sampling. Various facts are written down and keyed into a computer database which is then uploaded into the collar chip along with the owner information. The collar is fitted by a BAF official and she's ready to go. The whole process takes about 60 to 90 minutes.<br/><br/>@ Photo - you can PM me or post pics here. I will update your  character bios now. Third (and first) person omniscient is much preferred yes. In case anyone doesn't know, that means the writing includes references to that person's thoughts and moods - you can see inside their head. Players can keep a character more closed if they wish, so that the reader is kept guessing about their state of mind and motives, all styles are welcome. It might still add useful playing material to the story if Dumont went via Ryuuji's slave store first, perhaps in company with James Sutherling since James is cautiously in the market for a slave as well... Sophie maybe, in the end? That would draw the buying of Caillie process out a little and involve Summoner who doesn't seem to be getting involved very much.<br/><br/>@ Summoner - people seem to be plotting away in a frenzy and I'm seeing James becoming more and more isolated. Can you bring him into the game a little more please? Has anyone got a plot idea to involve James? Thank you!<br/><br/><strong>@ Everyone again - I am starting work on setting up the threads. So far I see a need for the following:<br/><br/>PUBLIC PLACES</strong><br/><br/>1) Casino Monte Carlo - a general socialising place, useful for meeting people, chilling and doing business. It has a day bar and restaurant and outdoor gardens and terraces at the rear for al fresco meetings and dining. Private rooms are available for gambling and meetings.<br/><br/>2) Outside in the City - to include streets, shops, bars, eateries, other businesses, the beach at Plages du Lavotto in the north, parks and the quayside.<br/><br/><strong>BUSINESSES</strong><br/><br/>1) BAF Office - players can come and go in this thread to deal with the clerks and administrators of the new office. If you only have minor or brief business with the bureau then just refer to it in passing in a post elsewhere; no need to specifically come here for a 1-post event. This thread will be Julien Sabatier's business thread too and that will involve a private office of course so players will need an appointment or to be shown in by his secretary.<br/><br/>2) Kaelyn Richelieu's brothel - Richelieu's.<br/><br/>3) Ryuuji Adam's retail outlet - Emperium.<br/><br/>4) Nereza Fabrizio's kinky animal stables and club - Mes Poulains Petits. This will include her apartment above.<br/><br/>5) Ricardo Reyes car showroom and workshop - The Dinero Hermoso.<br/><br/>State your needs here.<br/><br/><strong>PRIVATE RESIDENCES</strong><br/><br/>1) Kaelyn Richelieu's penthouse apartment.<br/><br/>2) Rayn Assad's yacht. This is also his business base as well.<br/><br/><em>3) Julien Sabatier's apartment.<br/><br/>4) Linda Tuchamba's villa near Cap d'Ail, west of Monaco.<br/><br/>5) Ryuuji Adam's apartment.</em><br/><br/>State your needs here.<br/><br/>For the last two categories, I would prefer to set up threads only as an RPing need becomes clear rather than set up 10 apartment threads at the start with some not being used for a long time.
