Explosion said: I'd imagine the slavery part to mean a "toilet slave" as otherwise I can't see it being anything but another burdensome mouth to feed.
My thoughts exactly. Trading candy for baby-yu's as food rations also makes very little sense, unless yukkuri corpses take a long time to go bad, which seems unlikely.
yukkuriking said: yes but in most cases the slave will whined uo eater there captors in there sleep, in otherwords slavery never last long amoung yukkuri
I don't think Ko's would be able to eat an adult yukkuri, the first try and they wake up their "master" and get killed. If anything slavery may not last long because the "slaves" die early, not because there is a chance for the "ko slave" to kill it's oppressor.
If its a lot (more than a couple) of kos, they take the adult by surprise and its paralyzed by the "no way this could happen to me! Me! I am the greatest Rearrrrrgh-" hubris/overconfidence, it could happen. Having sticks or something could help.
Also totally adding "Emergency Rations" to halfassed yukkuri RPG now.
Well that kinda sounds like rare cases than most cases like Yukkuriking said. And it would be more because of sticks and 30% of chance of arrogance paralysis, but if the ko's have neither, I doubt even numbers would help them ,specially since I don't think an average Yu would have more than 5 if they live in strayhood. I think you would really need too many ko's like 15 or more, for them to overcome an adult yu, but considering the kind of life strays have, no stray would try to have that many shitty slaves/"emergency rations".

I see you've done the exacting math needed to prove/disprove a hypothetical situation involving imaginary not-creatures. I stand corrected and bow to your superior reasoning.
Nah, I was just recalling stories and comcis on which Ko's turned on their parents or close by adults and how ineffective they were unless they were a big numbers of Ko's. There is no math in my stuff, only a hypothetically close % based on my impression of how "often" yukkuris freeze long enough for a Ko to kill them.
You're giving me too much credit If you think I would start pulling maths, calculators and other stuff, never was that good into 100% hard maths stats definition or anything, Kinda why I'm so casual with RPGs that need precise individual stat definition (that or look for Tutorials for building certain type of character I'm going to play).
Skribulous said: This isn't exactly a new concept: post #27689
Indeed, It's quite an old concept, If anything, It's surprising how little the story community use it, but maybeb It's just my impression as a western fan and Ankos maybe full of such "Pimp Exploiter Yu's" ?
I was reading some fics and it's become pseudo canon that the reason aquatic marisas risk going out on water despite being even more helpless is an evolutionary drive to escape from Deibus.

Aquatic Marisa's transformed into a miserable bait for nitoris just for the sake of getting way from the parasitic deibus
Based daze!!!!!
The young yukkuris who are sold in this way meet various fates, but ordinarily, they are bought as slaves at best. Alternatively, the most they can expect is to be processed into emergency rations for a stray group. Neither the Deibu who sells them nor the yukkuris who buy them treat the sold little ones as fellow yukkuris. Among urban stray Deibus, many are of the variety commonly called "Mercantile Deibus," who earn a living selling stalk babies who are of the same type as their mate (in other words, types other than Reimus). In the city, demand for little ones is fairly high--one can be sold for two pieces of candy or half a chocolate bar, or--depending on the time, situation, and type--even an entire box of Choco-Pies.
