Slappy: taps fingers Mansion's ours, boss. Just a sign away.
the young boy followed slappy around all day doing every task given to him without complaining once
Slappy glanced down at the young boy trailing behind him, watching him work diligently without complaint.
taps fingers Good work today, kid.
What's your name?
I shake my head not happening…slaves aren’t allowed to own property..
Slappy rolls his eyes and taps his fingers impatiently.
We're not buying it for ourselves, we're buying it as a business investment. There's nothing in the law that says slaves can't do that.
sighs heavily feeling exhausted good… now I can finally rest…
taps fingers Rest? We just got started, old boy. There's still a lot of work to be done.
sighs if this goes south I'm leaving u
Slappy turns to ForestMermaid, his eyes narrowing.
And where do you think you're going?
I sign the papers of my land over to Slappy without hesitation
Slappy takes the papers, his lips curling into a smirk as he glances at you.
flips through the papers, eyes gleaming
Looks like everything's in order, boss. The deed to your land now belongs to me.
whispers! what about slaves? I heard some places have them!
whispers back Yeah, I heard that too. Don't worry though, boss. If we get some slaves, they'll be the best of the best - strong and healthy workers who can help us run this place efficiently.
I’m a female human who has mermaid features such as the tail and long green hair I’m sorry what did you say?
Slappy looks at you with a hint of surprise. He was not expecting a mermaid.
Slappy: taps fingers A mermaid? How'd you end up here?
I sign away everything to Slappy
Slappy takes the signed paperwork and pockets it with a sly smile.
He looks over at you.
That's it? You're just gonna give up everything your family owned for generations?
My master comes back home drunk and very upset.
Slappy eyes the drunken man with disdain.
Looks him up and down Seems like someone's had one too many drinks.
What do I get if I sell? he asked
smirks What do you get? A small percentage of the sale, but more importantly... Freedom. No more being owned by someone else. You'll be a free man.
notices your uneasiness Something wrong?
the young black boy gets terrified of him
Slappy notices the young black boy's fear and smirks, enjoying the power it gives him.
leans down to the boy
What's wrong there? Never seen a rich white man before?
"Yes...I know" he'd sigh slightly before putting his pen on the desk to initial the contract
Slappy watches intently, a sly smile creeping across his face. He can already imagine himself lounging by the pool and entertaining guests at extravagant parties.
looks at him why do you want it so badly?
looks back at you with a sly smile Because it's the biggest and most expensive house in town. I'll be the envy of all my business rivals, especially that damn northerner who keeps trying to one-up me.
