Vanir's Fjord bond-maids' Page

Serves

a girl of the Fjord serves food.....drink......sex (if unrestricted) .......and conversation each of these are equally important and a part of her life as Steading bond-maid

(1) When not serving and there are Masters/Mistresses present a slave will ask to serve. A slave will ask each One not being served or not served recently individually (by using His/Her name on the pulldown). Do NOT yell across the Hall or offer a serve to All.

(2) Do not talk to/greet others while serving (the exception to this is one's own Master/Mistress and then only greetings)

(3) Keep posts from between 6 to 8 lines at most to hold attention (again, a slave will develop their own style).

(4) Be pleasing and attentive, even if one doesn't like the One they are serving. A slave is serving to Honor their home and their Master or Mistress, not to please themselves.

(5) Give a Master/Mistress time to be welcomed to the Steading, and to offer Their greetings, and then offer to serve. Kneel before the One you offer to serve when offering. Again don't yell from the serving furs.

(6) There is to be creativity and talent appropriate to the level of personal learning shown in each post a slave makes to a Master/Mistress.

(7) Be very descriptive (i.e. crystal goblet, etc.) Use words that make the Master/Mistress see what one is doing. Mild flirting is allowed, even encouraged (i.e. looking over one's shoulder, under one's lashes, smiling, etc.).

(8) Everyone is offered a serve, not just one's favorite Master/Mistress. Do not wait for One Master/Mistress in particular to come online.

(9) DO NOT forget about the Mistresses!!! They get hungry and thirsty just like the Masters, and They are equally appreciative of a slave's ability to serve!

(10) Heated serves will only be asked for by full fledged bond-maids, but if one serves with heat, one should be prepared to use it (i.e. be prepared to serve sexually). one should not offer what they are not prepared to give. If a slave is restricted, and asked for what they cannot give because of Master's restrictions, they should politely inform the One asking that they are restricted...training slaves DO NOT serve with heat. They serve in tower only.

DRINK SERVES

Following are some ways to serve different drinks on Gor. These are not the only ways and it should be noted that a slave's creativity in serving is the key to excellence. These are here strictly to help in knowing what vessels are proper for each type of drink.

MEAD:
a femented honey wine
Items needed to serve: mead horn, bottle of mead, or tapped from the cask in the cold room.
Serve style: Mead is either poured directly from the cask into the horn OR horn and bottle are brought before the Free. Horn is brought between thighs and the mead is poured in (skipped if mead is served directly from the cask). Then the slave presses the horn to her slave belly to show devotion. It may then be raised to her heart to show her love of serving and a blessing may be offered for the One being served. The slave then kisses the SIDE of the vessel, not the rim (a slave's lips never touch where a Free's will).
Served as the Free wishes it (room temperature or chilled).

PAGA:
the Gorean eqvualent to beer (it's brewed, not fermented like hard liquor)
Items Needed To Serve: Footed paga bowl. Bottle of paga.
Serve Style: Bowl and bottle are brought before the Free. The rest of the serve follows the same steps as mead (above).
Served as requested (chilled, room temperature or warm)
Note: In wagon camps paga is often served from a bota. A bota is a wineskin used for travelling. Since we're in a permanent village, botas are not used when serving in the Great Hall. If we are going on a hunting trip, then a Free may ask you to prepare a drink in a bota to take along. Otherwise, no botas.

SUL-PAGA:
alcohol made from suls (Vodka)
Items Needed To Serve: Footed paga bowl and a bottle of sul-paga.
Serve Style: Same as above for paga.
Note: sul paga is a peasant's drink. There are no peasants at the Fjord, we are Torvaldslanders. This has only be included to round out your education. WE DO NOT HAVE SUL PAGA HERE. If a Master asks for it, politely inform him that it is not available this far north and could you bring him something else.

KA-LA-NA:
Ka-la-na is a red wine that is served at room temperature.
Items Needed To Serve: A goblet and a bottle.
Ice chips are in the cold room in a barrel if required to chill the wine or one can just chill the goblet by placing it in the ice for a bit.
Serve Style: The kalana wine is poured in the goblet in the kitchen. A slave holds the goblet to them and returns to the Free. After kneeling, the slave presses the goblet to her slave belly to show devotion. It may then be raised to her heart to show her love of serving and a blessing may be offered for the One being served. The slave then kisses the SIDE of the vessel, not the rim (a slave's lips never touch where a Free's will).
Served as requested (chilled, room temperature or warm)

KAL-DA:
A distilled kalana wine mixed with sliced fruits in a copper pot hanging over the firepit to continually kept steaming hot.
Items Needed To Serve: A goblet, the steaming wine, juices, and spices.
Serve Style: After ladling the goblet full, the juices from the tangy sweet topsit are added and some fiery spices sprinkled on top. The spices are kept in a silver tin on the kitchen counter.
Served the same as ka-la-na.

BLACKWINE:
A very expensive drink. served dark(plain), light(with bosk milk), sweet(white or yellow sugar added) or light and sweet.
First Slave means with cream and sugars, Second Slave means black.
Items Needed To Serve: A blackwine mug, the appropriate condiments and tray.
Serve Style: Get the tray, ladle the mug with blackwine that is brewing over the firepit. Place the items needed to flavor the drink and a spoon on the tray. Take the tray to the Master, kneel and fix the drink to their request. If the drink is to be served dark then ladle the blackwine into the mug and just take it to the Master.
Serve as above for ka-la-na.

GOREAN ALE:
fermented beverage made from grain (Beer)
