The House Boy may be Objectified as any object at any time, and he is required to obey instructions for Objectification without hesitation or delay, regardless of circumstances. This type of order is effective instantly — unless instructed otherwise — so he may have no opportunity to respond or even to ask questions for clarification or instructions. The House Boy’s obligation is to immediately and silently obey, period. If he does not understand an Objectification Command or he wishes additional information or clarification, protocol requires that he tilt his head slightly with a quizzical expression to plead for more data. Regardless of circumstance, it is always the House Boy’s responsibility if he fails to legitimately attempt to obey, unless it would be unsafe or illegal to do so pursuant to the Paramount Rule.
In the example photo, a House Boy is Objectified As A Footrest for use by a guest because there is no other footrest available for use, and the House Boy does not have any duties which are more important that need to be tended to. After insuring that Master has approved the request for Objectification, the House Boy assumes a suitable position on his hands and knees, keeping his back as flat and level as possible. Any additional movement of the footrest — including its arms and legs — will have to be guided by a human while the Objectified House Boy remains quiet and still. Should the footrest need cleaning or other care, this must be tended to by a human since an object by definition can not clean itself. Although the House Boy is not subject to a physical inspection while Objectified, the object itself may be examined for quality or functionality by Master or a guest, depending on circumstances. If this occurs, it is important that the House Boy remain silent and still like a magazine table to avoid discipline for failure to meet expectations
Objectificationrarely lasts longer than 20 minutes per session and is time-limited by protocol to one hour maximum per calendar day, but may be extended at Master’s discretion to complete an activity in progress during a hosted event. Objectification must not conflict with health and safety regulations, the Law Of Gravity or Newton’s Law Of Motion. Visitors are required to obtain approval from Master before attempting to objectify any House Boy. A House Boy who is currently Objectified for a primary purpose, such as a footrest, may be simultaneously used for a secondary purpose like a beverage holder, as long as doing so is consistent with the use of the primary object in real life
Other examples of this command include Objectification As Display Art (See below, Rule #154-A), as a Television or Monitor Stand (See below, Rule #154M), or even a ‘Pin The Tail’ or ‘Ring Toss’ target during backyard gaming. Any objects which are tied or otherwise attached to the Objectified House Boy must be placed and removed safely, and any materials used for skin preparation, decoration, cleaning or polishing must be safe for human contact and safely applied.
Objectification may also be ordered as part of any Educational Initiative (Rule #119). The installation or wearing of clothing or accessories during or immediately after Objectification is not a violation of the Nudity Rule (Rule #1). House Boys are subject to washing or inspection after any Objectification, regardless of who may be present and could observe. Nothing in this rule shall diminish or restrict any guest’s Basic Right To Observe And Comment (See below, Rule #191) about the House Boy’s nudity, body parts, predicament, or compliance with the the various rules and protocols.
