Serves: I will be putting samples up as this one goes.
(This is just a basic outline. Each Owner and home will add or change things to their preference and you will in time find your way of doing things as well. )
*learn the basics of a serve
*add charm to efficiency
*please the One you serve
here is how .....
Basics of a Serve
•Ask to approach the Master/Mistress to offer your services
•Move to the Master, stop three paces before Him/Her, describe your full kneel (nadu or tower)
•Offer to bring Him/Her food or drink. There should be more offers of food made
•Acknowledge whatever He asks for, making sure you understand all specifics required (if the kalana is warm or chilled, blackwine 1st or 2nd slave, etc.)
•Rise, step back three paces, turn, move towards the kitchen.
•Bring out the appropriate vessel(s).
•Polish the item using rep cloth. The vessel is already “clean”, you’re simply ensuring its perfection for the Master/Mistress.
•Check the rim for imperfections. We inspect vessels with our eyes not body flesh as to cut a slave would be lowering the value of the slave.
•Move to wherever the food/drink is, cooler, hearth, kitchen fires.
•Serve the food/drink, unless it’s to be served before the Master/Mistress.
•Move to Master/Mistress. Be descriptive here. It not only alerts the Master that you are about to arrive before Him, but allows you more time to be creative and beautiful.
•Stop three paces before the Master/Mistress, describe your kneel.
•Serve
•Offer to test the drink. This is done to ensure that the drink hasn’t been poisoned. ( we do not test)
•Press the drink to your belly, then pause at your heart to show your devotion (offer a wish of healthy and happiness in honor of the Master/Mistress if you wish), then test the drink if applicable ( again find out the Homes rules..not required), then raise the drink to your lips and kiss below the rim. Do not ever allow your lips to touch the rim. Raise the drink overhead, your eyes to His/Her boots, and make your offering. Come up with something original to say. Each girl’s offering should be different in some fashion.
•(IF your home requires payment..we do not) Wait for Him/Her to offer payment. If no payment is made after a short while, do not ask for it. Typical price for a drink, if asked, is three coppers. No charge for water, though They usually like to pay anyway, for the service. Accept the payment on your tongue. If it's a Mistress, make a pouch in your silks, and accept it there. Do NOT accept it on your tongue.
•Rise, step back three paces, turn, move to the Admins dais, drop the payment in the coffer, return, kneel three paces before Him/Her.
•Ask if you could be of further service. If yes, do so. If no, thank Him/Her for allowing you to serve, rise, step back three paces, turn and move to kneel at the serving furs/your Master’s furs.
*Remember to be as descriptive as possible. On the journey to the kitchen, to the hearth, and returning to the Free, use this time to draw attention to yourself. Describe your hair, eyes, skin, the feel of your silks against your body, the sway of your hips, the sounds you hear in the room, the fragrances.. This is your chance to be creative. Do not steal serves from other girls. It’s wonderful to watch your sisters and be inspired, but please don’t steal their serves. They worked hard on them, and take pride in them. Usually a girl has at least one “signature item(s)”.. if you see something you really love and aren’t sure if you can use it, ask the girl.
*Read up on new foods so you’ll be able to serve more items.
Do not talk during a serve, unless ordered to by the One you serve.
If the One you serve moofs during a serve, then wait quietly for His/Her return… the length of time depends (at the Hold the time is 5 minutes then set the items on the side table) on how busy the room is. Five minutes should do it. When He/She returns, ask if He/She would like you to resume, and do so. You might want to repeat the last phrase of your serve, as it might have been missed. Using the up arrow key while the cursor is in the text box will scroll you up to things you have previously posted, then just hit Enter. ( again a homes rules may be different for this rule as well)
*Devote your full attention to the One you serve at all times. Let nothing else distract you from putting your heart into pleasing the One you serve. (a girl understands this may be difficult if your Master whom you haven't seen in ages shows up in the middle of a serve, but try... a warm smile towards Him, acknowledging His entrance would be quite acceptable, and understandable. Likewise, nodding a greeting with a smile towards the the room leader and His/Her Mate when They enter is acceptable.)
*When serving assassins, do not offer to test, and do not kiss below the rim. It's a good idea to check the profile of new people. If there is no way for you to know if the person is an assassin, then don't worry about it. Sometimes assassins will bring thier own vessel so if they offer it up use it. ( Some Assassins prefer to be served like everyone else you will learn their preference. and the Homes may have different rules on this as well.
*If the coin/payment is thrown to the floor, then lean forward and pick it up with your lips.
*Never cut/paste a serve. It is disrespectful to cut/paste things. ( unless for editing reasons you are typing things out in notepad or such first then that is ok as you are still posting to the individual you are serving. Mainly do not use other serves and copy and paste to make new serves.)
