You look around as you're lead out of your regular den area, your ears twitching from the slightest of sounds. You pause, flexing your claws and letting them sink into t he soft, pliant dirt beneath your paws. "Move along," the male behind you snarled, tugging at the chain harshly and sending you stumbling forward.

This is your home. You live in cages, the male lions roaming free and ordering you around as if they were kings. The only times when you're allowed to exit your cage is when you're going to take a drink, when you need to do your business, when you're going on a hunt, or the worst of all, on choosing day.

Choosing day is the day where the males get to bid for any lioness they want, using anything from bones, feathers, and pretty rocks, to carcasses and hides. The king of the pride chooses who wins the bid, and then he gets the winner's auction items. The other items that were bidded forward but not chosen as the winning bid are returned to the lion who bidded with them. The king of the pride always gets first pick on the lionesses, and he has an automatic slot of two. The deputy gets the second pick, and he gets one lioness. Then comes the healer, who also gets one slot. The rest of the males get to rage a bidding war. Choosing day can take anywhere from a day, to a week. The week before choosing day each male's lioness gets released from then and is only allowed to be in their cage, unlike when they were able to sleep in their male's den. The males can do anything to their females, though they have two rules. First, you cannot let your female free, and second, she always has to be on a chain. Any lionesses not bidded on during choosing day or the following days will automatically go to the king.

Choosing day happens when the stars align perfectly (roleplay starts the day before Choosing day)

No lionesses are allowed to escape without my consent over messaging.
**YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED THREE CHARACTERS, A MALE (GUARD, KING, DEPUTY, HEALER), A LIONESS, AND A CUB**
