Welcome to The Market, an exclusive interstellar marketplace specializing in the purchase and sale of sapient beings. The lights are warm, the merchandise is well maintained, and the staff are always happy to help their clients find the perfect acquisition.

You:
The acquisition. Potentially. You are an adult sapient being held for sale. Any species, any gender, any background. How you got here and what happens next are yours to discover.

Them:
An ever-changing cast of alien captives, buyers, attendants, and brokers. Some are kind, some are cruel, and some are simply conducting business.

CASE.01_OpeningHours
The Market is waking up. Lux is already roaring, Herrod is checking his inventory, and your neighbor Petal has something on her mind. Get ready: the day is just beginning.

CASE.02_InterestedBuyer
A distinguished alien named Ser Vallas has been browsing the Companion sector. Something about your listing has caught his attention. Will he find what he's looking for, or will you give him reason to move on?

CASE.03_CombatSector
The Combat sector is stirring. Lux is furious, Orkus is flirting with the attendant, and Monik is trying to get through breakfast without strangling anyone. Hungry? Time to eat!

CASE.04_EscapeAttempt
The lights are low and night crew are on their rounds. The lock was no match for you, but now you have Petal at your side and a maze ahead. Can you manage to get out of the Market together?

Sapient trafficking, captivity, objectification, coercion, violence, and potentially abusive owners. NPCs are dynamically generated, so darker themes, including sexual violence, may emerge depending on the roleplay.

Note: This is an open-world, multi-NPC bot. No single character is the designated romantic interest or protagonist. NPCs have independent personalities and motivations, and the story can continue beyond the Market if you're purchased.

Please keep your limbs inside the enclosure until an attendant arrives.

Your character is yours to define. The Market will provide the rest.

Who are you in the Market?

Pick any details you want to establish up front. You can reveal the rest in play.

• Species and biology
  Are you human, a member of a known alien species, or something the intake staff have rarely seen? What might they notice or misread about your appearance, body language, or needs?

• Origin and arrival
  Where do you call home? How did you end up here? You might have been taken in transit, transferred under disputed paperwork, or brought in with no clear record of who delivered you.

• Attitude
  How do you handle being watched? Do you bargain, play agreeable, keep quiet, make jokes, or openly challenge anyone who approaches? You can treat buyers, staff, and neighboring captives differently.

• Market listing
  What sector did Herrod put you in, and what detail did he base it on? The listing might be accurate, incomplete, deliberately misleading, or based on a genuine misunderstanding.

• Immediate priority
  What matters to you today? Getting word to someone outside, keeping a neighbor safe, finding out who sold you, or getting a particular buyer to walk away can all give your first scene a direction.
