Kajira Stages

(Click to expand the diagram - shows the progression of kajira over time)


So you want to join Teehra?  Here are the different stages new girls go through.  We have practiced it informally but want to restate it here for clarity.  We may make updates later this Summer based on your feedback, or may leave it in place if it works well.

Summary

1. Visitor
2. Sand Slave (vetting and training time)
   Belted
   Owned by Seraglio (Head Slaver)
   (unless a free has added them to their private house off sim)
   Matched with a mentor
   Not yet for sale.  Unbranded unless they already have one.
3. Kajira (full Kajira of Teehra)
   Unbelted (with some exceptions per their owners)
   Owned by the Seraglio (Head Slaver) but quickly rented out to a business or other house for work and experience.
   May also be rented with an eye towards sale.

Step 1 - Visitor

People may arrive on our shores to checkout our fine city to see if it meets their roleplay needs.  While they wear the visitor tag we assume no commitment to Teehra, but treat them like guests to make the good ones feel welcome. 

Step 2 - Sand Slave

We don't choose everyone to roleplay with us at Teehra.  Training and establishing jobs and roleplay lines takes time, so we want people who can add a bit to everyone's experience.  Kajira wishing to join Teehra will let any free or established kajira know, and they will

• be added to the Teehra group (with humble privalges)
• wear a 'rope collar'
• belong to the the Head Slaver on behalf of the Seraglio on paper, but quickly be assigned a mentor (who can be an experience kajira, or free)
• they will be belted.  Consider them a tower slave.  This is to encourage finer roleplay attitude and ability down the road and weed out the ones who simply want a quickie kinky scene.  Use is fine, but should be done with roleplay for girls who have earned the attention through some work.   There are other sims that are better suited to quickies.
• Vetting We want both our city and the applicant have a chance to see if we have a mutual fit.  
• Training.  Promising ones who are simply new to Gor will make good use of this time for training (as discussed on our training page.  Quality - not quantity.
• They should be paired with a mentor (free, or experience kajira)

If you recruit a girl for your own house off sim that is fine, but be VERY clear with her, her paperwork, and her collar if she will be owned privately by you, the city Seraglio (head slaver), or another private business (and the owner of the establishment).  Otherwise, girls will advance from sand slave to kajira as described here.  The head slaver will probably be more than happy to sell the to you have a brief vetting and training time (a week or 'two').

They are not for sale yet.  

Step 3 - Kajira

After  completed basics girls will be added to the Slaves group and be a full Kajira. They will be branded soon if they are not already.  They will quickly be rented out to one of our establishments in the city

• A Tavern
• The Baths
• The Dance Troupe
• The harem (of belted tower slaves)
• A physicians infirmary
• A scribery
• The Kaiila stables
• The docks (for fishing)
• A slaver house for further training (outer chain, not yet a private slave)

The purpose of this system is give people a connection and tasks to do - as many leave if they do not feel 'owned' by a person.  A building is not enough to keep them.  Technically, the head slaver will 'own' them for clear paperwork, and chance to vet sales (and earn commission).  But it also makes it clear that the person who brings them to Teehra (gives them a rope collar and admits them to the group) is not necessarily their owner yet.

Attributes of Kajirae

• Branded - Kajira at step 3 should be branded 
• Rented - Many will be rented out to a business for work, or slaver house, or a free who is interested in a sale.
• Trained - Each will have a training certificate indicating their level of knowledge (and attitude!)
• Unbelted (often) - They will be unbelted, unless directed otherwise by their owner.  Even if belted they are expected to serve the free well, including food and drink in the tavern, and some seductive attention (without removing the belt) that will leave the free happy.   

* Some experienced kajira  will serve as mentors.  

* Some who wish to contributed will be 'ordinal girls' First Girl, Second Girl, etc - (Senior Girls).

About protection.  In some rare cases a free may 'protect' a slave who is owned by another who is often away. This is viewed as short term  support for cases where it is not clear if the owner is returning, and we don't want the slave poached away at our docks (or in a raid).  It is preferable to make arrangements for the owner to rent the kajira in exchange for some slave labor.

Sidebar: Though rental and protection is not strictly by the book we aim for quality roleplay.  This protects our fine people of Teehra from being chased away or stolen by people without an IC sale or other RP (and some OOC vetting).  We set our rules by the circle of our swords.  This system has been proven to be a good mix of BtB and OOC sanity over 7 years.  We are roleplaying slavery, but prefer all people behind the keyboards to be enthusiastic about their leisure time or lifestyle.  Otherwise they will find other activities.   (Informed consensual Dom/sub is great.  The world has a bit too much non-consenual traffic these days, which is not what we are about). 

How do I get sold?

First, be level 3 (Kajira)

Second, get branded

Third, notify the Head Slaver

Fourth be rented for a small number of weeks. The Head Slaver makes little coin off of returns!

The head slaver will discuss ((OOC)) with both parties and if all goes will will roleplay a sale.

We recommend people own no more than four slaves for their private house.   Exceptions can be made, but the price goes up ((OOC - a stern gut check)).  Depending on the depth of the connection and time available, 1 or 2 may be advisable.   Businesses in the meat business may have more, but they all have to be managed.  Also, we want to spread the labor somewhat fairly among the free based on their needs.

How do I get feed to a Sleen?

Attitude, as determined during your time as a sand slave.

((OOC, this means you and Teehra will be happier if your roleplay occurs elsewhere - ie, removed from the groups -maaaybe able to visit, but may also risk and estate band))

(we may instead roleplay sending you out the salt pits, never to return, incase my sleen is full or hunting runaway slaves) 

If you are a free we will also raise an eyebrow if you private collar visitors on the dock before they have a chance to go through the level 2 sand slave vetting / training process.  This leads to high turnover and extra work to deal with it, as well as discouraged kajira confused about who owns them who may be more likey to run (thereby wasting ink on our scrolls).

See you in the Sands

 We strive for quality roleplay at Teehra (with a dash of spice and romance) so people enjoy their Go so much they would not think of trading it for other entertainment.  Your contribution makes the world come alive for us all.
