Katsumi wins the bid for Grace
From Create Your Own Story
"The winner of the auction, and new owner of slave Grace Nicole Foster... is Katsumi," you announce. The monitors with Ashanti Yvel and the Sheikh go dark, but Katsumi's is still lit. You look into the assassin's cold eyes. Despite winning the auction, they betray no emotion -- no happiness, no triumph. Those eyes unnerve you, but you have to finish the process.
"I will send a man with the payment tomorrow," Katsumi says in her emotionless voice. "He will arrive at exactly noon. My slave must be ready to be transported, or there will be consequences."
You know exactly what consequences means -- an end to your life and those lives of anyone else Katsumi deems responsible. "As you wish," you reply. "Will you transport her publicly?"
You don't wish to draw Katsumi's ire, so the question has to be asked. If Grace is to be transported in public, she needs to be dressed in such a way that questions won't be asked when she is seen. A dose of a drug to make certain she remains docile during the transport, just to be absolutely certain nothing untoward happens, would also not be out of place.
"No," Katsumi replies.
You need to know just one more thing. "Will you require her to wear clothes while being transported?"
"No," Katsumi replies again. Her monitor goes dark.
Grace now has to be prepared for transport. You consider whether to do the job yourself or let the slaves do it. Or you could leave that decision to Vladimir.
