Homesteading, BDSM Style

Master V has been staying in a free apartment, because the owner was trying to sell the land, and let people stay in her apartments for nothing pending the sale. But she finally decided to start charging rent, so Master decided it was time to buy his own land. He had me look for a likely place.


I found a 1024 m2 lot for less than L$10K in the northern part of the new NorthEast Continent. It looked like a quiet area, although there is always the danger that someone will eventually put up a casino next door. And it was near the top of a hillside, so there is a good view. Master looked it over and liked it, so he bought it and told me to start construction. Well, I'm the one who has building and scripting experience. I put in a grassy terrace temporarily and dropped a pink flamingo on it for laughs while I planned the real landscaping.

I made a simple rectangular 20 x 10 m house out of 4 basic prims, and found some Tudor and Gothic textures to give it the proper look for a BDSM master's domicile.

Of course the dungeon was the most important element. I put in an annex to the house, and a ramp leading down. Master V gave me land modification rights, and I dropped the ground as far as it would go to see what I had to work with. Fortunately, there was plenty of available depth.

Per Master V's requirements, I put in three isolation cells at the bottom of the ramp, and a door leading to a sizable dungeon. I sank a pit in the deepest corner for recalcitrant slaves, and put up the proper gloomy textures on the walls and floor. I laid terraces overhead for respectable public landscaping which served as the dungeon ceilings. I killed the flamingo as he was taking up 14 prims.

The past couple of days, I've been rolling my own lockable cell doors (the same scripts also work for the grating over the Pit). The doors have an option to allow someone on the outside to spy on the prisoner in the cell, while remaining unchanged on the inside (isn't SL texturing fun?). I still need to figure out how to detect if a prisoner TP's out, so she can be reported to the Master.

Oh, and I've started working on rats. Really.
