*This chapter deals with much of the administration that new pets at The Matriarch must undergo. As a result, it doesn't contain as much of the good stuff as the introduction did. Rather, it lays more solid groundwork for future chapters.*

*When last we left off, our young protagonist had just been hired on as a pet by the notorious Violet, owner of The Matriarch nightclub. Bewildered and unknowing what fate lies in wait for him, one of Violet's Wardens leashes and escorts him to a room in the lower level of The Matriarch.*
I nervously glanced around. The Warden was leading me down a hallway under the glass floor, but away from the publicly viewed rooms under the main area. She wasn't walking very fast, but she pulled on my leash once in a while just to make sure I didn't fall behind. Eventually we came to a door which she unlocked, pushed me through, then entered after me and locked behind us.
The room was full of what looked like medical equipment. She sat me down on a bench and removed the collar. Then she took a seat at a desk with a computer on it. The whole thing resembled a doctor's office. She spoke as she started typing away at the keyboard.
"You are here because our Scouts have been watching you closely and have told us you lead a very closeted submissive life, itching to get some dominance. Working here is something I imagine you would do for free, but you will still be compensated for your time. This place is to remain your closest secret. If word gets out, our newest pets are who we investigate first, and our Scouts are the best at finding leaks. You do not want to know what happens to those that cross Violet." She stared off into space for a moment before continuing.
"Again, because of what it is that you want, you should have no trouble playing along. We provide you with something you desperately crave, and you provide us with a service that not everyone can." She smirked as she said this, eyeing me up. "Before we can assign you to clients however, we need to take care of some administrative things." She stopped typing and looked up at me.
"Here's what's going to happen. We're going to run a few tests on you to check for STIs and such. These are standard and necessary tests that we run on all new pets and clients. It'll be a few days before the results come back, and you'll be pretty limited in the kind of work you can do until then. Then, we'll ask you some questions and determine your biggest kinks, the areas where you'll perform best for our clients. Finally, we'll test your kinks physically, or at least as much as we can do until the test results come back. After that, we'll let you know if there's anything you can do for us, again, until the test results come back." She paused and took a deep breath. "Any questions? Does this sound alright?"
"This sounds amazing." I was absolutely stunned that this could possibly be happening. "I can't wait to get started."
"Good. Then let's begin."
Over the next half hour or so, the Warden collected various samples and examined various parts of my body, occasionally typing notes on her computer. Eventually she concluded that there was nothing wrong from what she could see, but that they would still need to be careful with what they did with me for a few days.
After the tests were finished, another girl showed up at the door. She was dressed far less conservatively. She was wearing a black latex skirt and a black leather top that consisted mostly of just straps and metal studs. She had black thigh-high boots with red laces, and her platinum blond hair fell delicately on her shoulders, concealing one of her eyes. The Warden that had been examining me spoke to her.
"Perfect timing, we just finished. He looks good." She chuckled and glanced over at me after she said that. "Really good. He's ready for the next part of the testing." The new Warden stepped forward and took the collar and leash off the desk, locking the collar around my neck again. She gave the leash a couple tugs, indicating that I should stand up and follow. As I walked past the desk, the first Warden gave me a slap on the ass, causing me to jump and blush.
"Have fun," she said as she resumed typing.
The Warden led me down another hall. She spoke as she occasionally tugged at the leash.
"The Matriarch consists of a collection of buildings that have been carefully renovated and joined together. Facilities include bedrooms, washrooms, showers, kitchens, dining rooms, and lounges, among others. Most of our clients are limited to the main room you saw earlier and the playrooms underneath, but our employees, and in some cases pets, have access to these other facilities, as needed."
She stopped a moment and held my leash close to the collar. "It really is impressive. Violet is a true mastermind." She glanced at me, undressed me with her eyes, then continued on. "We're getting to the fun part now."
Eventually we entered another room. There were a few small cages, big enough for an average human to sit uncomfortably. There were also a few standing cages, and one in the shape of a human on all fours. The walls were lined with hooks, holding various whips, chains, cuffs, gags, and other tools of the trade. There was a padded table, a few strange padded chairs, and various metal rings set in the floor and ceiling. She sat me down on my knees in front of a normal chair, then sat in the chair, still holding the leash.
