Varian chuckled seeing their various reactions, especially [partner character]'s. "Well the sexual acts are pretty much assumed regardless of what else you fulfill in a master's life. Some masters do want just the sex pet, but others want a companion. Some may want a surrogate daughter, while others could want a more motherly figure. It really depends on the client," he explained to her, "We let the girls choose how they present themselves leading up to the auction. Some do the same thing daily on the days leading up to it, others will do different things everyday. We keep cameras recording their performances to post online as well for clients who are unable to make it in everyday. Its about a two week performance leading up to an auction, so it can be rather difficult to come up with new things everyday. But you show off your good points during that time. We're about on day nine right now for this current lot."
And as [Partner Character] excitedly grabbed his hands and giggled in bubbly excitement, "Oh it is. Normal day to day we have a cleaning crew clean everything. However the day before the auction we have the girls going up for auction clean everything and set things up to their liking, and then check it the day of as well. It is their show after all, their final chance to put out an appeal for those attending," he gave some detail on how the auction hall worked.
But as [Partner Character] asked her question, "We do offer some similar situations. But usually for girls who wish to be purchased together," he said answering the last question first, "As for those who fail to get purchased, This is quite a rare occurrence I assure you. First, each girl has three chances at the auction floor, to appeal to an owner. Second, we hold online auctions for those who either don't meet the standards of the main hall for whatever reason or who don't succeed on the main hall three times. The third step is dependent on the why of them not being purchased," he explained, answering her question in a good deal more detail than she likely expected, "If legitimate effort was put into trying to be auctioned off, we keep them on site as trainers. Or perhaps as a pet to one of our regular employees. Or even myself, I've not availed myself of this option in the past. But it is available to me." Then he cleared his throat, "Of course should one not make a legitimate effort, this is when we will simply sell them to a lower class store. We go out of our way to ensure our clientele is the best, that we provide proper training, care, and ensure that our clientele will not be abusive to our girls. So it is reasonable we expect some honest effort in return. If with honest effort one fails, then its simply unfortunate luck and we won't hold it against them. But we can certainly hold unwillingness to put effort in against one."
Then with a motion of his hand he directed them to follow him up to the stage and then into the backstage area where there were a variety of stage gear and the like, there seemed to even be a certain theme that was shaping up. An almost scifi theme by the looks of things. "We allow quite a good deal of freedom to how the girls setup their stage," he explained as he'd open a door in the back leading into a long corridor filled with various rooms, the first few seemed to be supply rooms. But as they walked down they're find rooms full of girls inside, that almost looked like classrooms. "Do be a bit quiet here. But these are our training rooms for more academic skills. We make sure to teach our girls various useful skills that will be of use to any master that purchases them. Basic accounting and bookkeeping, scheduling, clerical work, computer work, and the like. Not all classes are mandatory, but there will be some that are. In our dormitory building we have cleaning and cooking classes to teach one how to properly take care of a home and feed their master. We have an gardening class for obvious reasons, they more take care of the grounds as part of their training. We have a driving class for cars and motorbikes as these can be skills a master will appreciate. Off site we have programs for different classes, such as helicopter piloting, seamanship, SCUBA training, and various other things. As I've said, we cater to the very best clientele. For more difficult classes we do provide a certain drug, normally quite dangerous to administer but we have the best of the best administrating it. The drug isn't a psychoactive or anything like that, but its designed to stimulate brain plasticity to allow one to learn with the same ability children demonstrate. For the most part its only used for language courses."
Leading the way further, they would soon cross over an overhanging walkway with the road down below them, he was continuing to give them the tour while answering any questions they might have had. Taking their question in stride, "And we're now entering the dormitories. At this facility which is our main one, its a female only house. There is a male house handled by one of my proteges. But here the pets are all female. While the trainers are naturally a mix," he explained to them, asking them to give him a number between one and eight, then a number between one and fifty eight. Once they had done so, he would lead them to an elevator and would ride the elevator up the number of floors that they had given him for the first number, and then he'd walk down to a room number that matched the second. Taking a key and opening it up to reveal a rather pristine looking room, clean and spotless with a nice looking bed, dresser, small desk and chair, a nightstand next to the bed. And even a small computer. "All our rooms are equipped similarly. I wanted you to give me those numbers so that you could be satisfied. If you'd like to test it, feel free to give me a few more," he explained to them and if given additional numbers he would show them those rooms to reveal it was the same. Though if they did give additional rooms they would find some were clearly lived in with various personal items, even if the occupants were not currently there.
Then he would get in the elevator with them again and take them down to a basement level. And it opened up into a much more....slave like room they likely had expected. "Before you react," he said quickly, "Allow me to explain. This is our BDSM and Rough play training room. This is probably our most extreme room in the facility equipped with various tools, devices, and the like used in such play. It was placed here to provide some privacy to the girls going to train in it given the rather extreme nature of it. I figured it would be best if I show you this room up front. Like other classes this training course is not mandatory, but pets trained in this course do tend to perform better in auctions. The majority of trainees are unfortunately those who fail their first or second auction," he explained to them, letting them move around and examine things for a bit before gathering them to move on with him.
The tour would continue as he showed them around a few more classes of various types, a library, gym, and several other smaller facilities. Until arriving in the administration building, sitting the three down in his office. Sliding papers over to them, "These are your pet contracts, feel free to read over them, If you have any questions about legal terms I have a book on the relevant laws here," he said as he slid a decent sized book over to them. "If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. And if you are willing to sign I can call a witness here now," he told the three. The contracts themselves included the terms for paying their families the agreed upon money. The contract also specified that until they are sold or gifted they are to be housed in this facility barring special circumstances. Circumstances which were listed out and weren't particularly objectionable. Legally they would be signing themselves over to him until they were sold. And they would be classified as pets and not slaves, which if they looked at the relevant law gave them several protections and rights.
The first of which was that it was murder and assault when done against them and not property damage like a slave was, it was kidnapping to steal a pet from someone. Their master could use corporal punishment against them of course, but they could not be beaten mercilessly nor could serious bodily harm be done to them by their master. Their master had a responsibility to provide humane living conditions and humane levels of food to them. Pets were semi responsible for their own actions still, with some actions falling under their master's responsibility while others was on them. Typically more serious crimes were on them while less serious ones were their master's responsibility. And then there was body integrity, besides piercing and tattoos their master could not alter their body in a permanent way. Of course there was a legal requirement to not only listen to but obey their master's orders on them, as well as various other things that governed their submissiveness to their master.
Overall the conditions for what they'd sign up for wasn't that bad of a deal overall. Their treatment was far better than they'd have imagined, and there was even a lot of training for useful skills and the like. Once they had looked over everything he would ask, "So ladies? Any questions, or are you interested in signing?" he asked them with a smile.
