I've been acclimating myself to Roo's project doc and mechanics again. A big push is coming and it's not the child birthing kind, though we'll certainly have room for that in the future because DZ won't forgive me otherwise. (And she'll have room for plenty - HEYYOOO)
It's shameful it's taken this long. However, like with Leila, there's always time to nail certain mechanics that were a mystery before. For example, I was told a few months ago there wasn't distinct enough difference between Free and Slave Roo. I usually come up with a lot of things by talking about them in the FenChat Public Discord (which you should join if you like killing time!) and there was a very good idea I've come to decide Roo needs. Besides, I owe a lot of interest at this point.
If Roo is a Slave, I'm gonna put in a couple of smaller scenes where you tell her to go bang or get banged by other crew members to keep them happy. If you want Kase to get his daily dose of (milky) paizuri, make it so. You will be able to watch and masturbate to them -- at first. I don't have any immediate plans to make Steele a participant in these specifically. I have other legit threesomes to see to first, so I'll see which ones I like while I do them. Also, it was always intended for MilkyRoo to be usable in the Nursery Milker to feed your babies with. I think a scene of that feat. Reaha will be fantastic.
So as it stands, in terms of main differences between Slave & Property Roo vs. Free & Hired Roo:
1) Tones in talk scenes. Depending on alignment, you can be more controlling or reserved. This is the thing I need to spend quite a bit of time smoothing out, that's where the aforementioned criticism came from.
2) In smut: Slave: Making a sex slave out of her. Having her perform for money. Perhaps even outright prostitution on safe worlds like Mhen'ga. I wanted planet blurbs, so this is a great place to start. Penny Camwhore will be a great partner on the ship. Her core sex scenes will reflect her status the most I hope. The PC can be rougher, more dominant, really enjoy the quiver and the meow. In the past I talked about how she'd have a lot of specific features as a slave too, like ordering her to strip, be naked, no leaving the ship, no crew interactions, etcetera. Really take control of her life. Even tell her to beg for sex when she's horny. That will all be there.
Free Roo will have initiative, and this can lead to her pushing the envelope. I've had a facesit + riding scene in mind for ages, where she ambushes you in your sleep for messy, hot, lovely sex. A very special scene is also planned for Free Roo + Dick-wielding PCs only, one that will very much speak to the kind of optimistic, silver-lining writing style I'm often employing. Her place on-board and mood should be clearly differentiated.
Free Roo also has the added benefit of an extremely wholesome sequence of events that will never be open to slavemakers.
