Slave Jacob?
Hello, Sir. How are you doing today, Sir?
I'm doing well, slave. How are you?
Correction, Sir, if you would allow. 'It'... 'How is its day?'
You wish to be referred to in the third person?
If you would allow it, Sir, a slave is an extension of its owner, not a man or person itself. It is to be referred to properly as such an extension or as the property it is and not as the person it used to be, Sir. Also, Sir, it is not that the slave prefers to be recognized in the third, or as Master Mark's slave, but it is how it is to be. The slave's feelings are irrelevant on the subject matter, Sir.
Alright, slave. I'll try to keep that in mind.
Thank you, Sir. How may I be of service to you, Sir?
Well, I'm wanting to interview you... it for an article about current times and how the change in laws have affected ordinary people.
The slave will be happy to assist, Sir. The slave has its Master's permission and instruction to answer anything and everything.
Everything, slave?
Yes, Sir, everything. Even if it is lewd, embarrassing, personal, revealing, illegal, etc. Master was very insistent that the slave be as honest and as open as possible to assist with your matters and report.
Tell me about the slave's name, Jacob.
Yes, Sir. That is the slave's name from when it was a citizen and equally participating member of polite society. Its legal name is Jacob Anthony Alexander Newman. Its friends would call it Jan for short, Sir. It seems a lifetime ago, now, but the slave did enjoy the life it had and the life it was building toward, Sir. The names 'Anthony', 'Alexander', and its former surname of 'Newman' were legally stripped from the slave when its rights as a free person were stripped from it by the courts. The name 'Jacob' is not what the slave will be known as for much longer, Sir. Master is legally changing it.
What will be the slave's new name?
Beau Taai will be the slave's new name.
Ah, like the tie that is centered under the chin in formal dress.
For free men, you are correct, Sir. All proper slaves wear either a full metal or leather collar dependent on the Owner's wishes. See? I wear the collar Master chose for it, a two inch thick, double banded pink and red collar with flashy satin nickel attachments.
It fits you well, slave.
It fits well enough. It was measured for me last year when I was a little bit more husky. Master intends to bulk up its muscles and make it a living trophy.
Would that make the slave happy?
If the slave could be allowed an opinion, it would make the slave happy. Yes, Sir.
I see that the slave's body is free of body hair. For how long has this been the case, slave?
Slave has been shaving since it was twelve when the law took effect on its person and being. It received its first tattoo then too.
Ah, yes, the life band tattoo. I have one too, only I'm a free man, and mine continues to grow with all of my life's accomplishments, expansion of family, and much, much more. The slave's line is permanently stunted, then?
No, not stunted, but it grows very slowly, Sir. Once the slave was determined to be a slave, its freedoms were removed from it by the courts, its self determination ended, and these were noted on its skin.
When did these happen to the slave?
When it was sixteen, Sir.
What happened at the age of sixteen? Did the slave ask to live life as a slave?
It was caught in a compromising position, Sir.
Which was?
It was a prank gone wrong, Sir. The slave lost a bet, Sir. As a result, the slave had to dress in a feminine manner and serve the victors. While in such service, one of its friends suggested that it kneel in front of him and rest its head on his lap. As the slave had done so the captain of the water polo team and a few of his friends interrupted things.
This was at school, then?
Correct, Sir. The slave was turned into the dean of discipline and the principle, who then contacted the authorities and the slave's parents.
What happened to the slave's friends?
They were reprimanded for not turning the slave in sooner. None called it a bet that the slave lost. None came to the slave's aid. None tried to make any attempt to assist the slave in remaining a free man when the matter went to the courts and they were called as witnesses.
What happened with the slave's family as a result of all of this?
