You wouldn't go to the cold room for warm paga and on the same note you wouldn't go to the hearth for chilled paga, BUT the paga needs to get to the hearth somehow to be warmed if it is asked for. Let the people watching you know how it got there if that is what you are serving. The same with the other drinks/foods that can be served chilled or warm. Is the food on a spit in the fireplace? Let them know. KNOW WHERE THINGS ARE STORED AND HOW THEY ARE STORED. You also need to know what the drink/food will be served in. Knowing the difference is important. Second important feature to a good serve is putting your personality into the descriptions. Describe what you are doing and why you are doing it. If, at anytime during the serve you make a mistake, don't panic. Continue on in the serve by making the correction. Remember people aren't mind readers even on Gor. Keep your mental thoughts out of the serve as much as possible. Use your actions to speak for your feelings and always make it apparent you enjoy what you are doing. serving your Master/Mistress or their guests. Even if Someone is talking about you during your serve, it is considered impolite to speak or react to the conversation going on around you during your serve. As tempting as it may be to laugh at a Masters comment, it should never be done, your only concern during your serve, should be the serve itself. You shouldn't even smile to each other if another slave enters during a serve. If a Free Person should ask you a question, smile politely to Him/Her, and post that you hope He/She understands that you are not allowed to speak during a serve. The Free Person should be very understanding of slave rules. There is no problem with reacting to the One you are serving, such as when He winks at you in the servery, or watches with desire as your silks slide up your thigh. When a Free Person is being served and posts something of this nature, it is one of two things, a reaction to something a girl has done, or a call for a reaction. It's up to the slave to figure that out and if a reaction is called for, offer it. There isn't any set amount of postings required for a serve but you don't want to lose the interest of the people watching so make it interesting and hold their attention, make them see the serve throughout the entire thing. Don't be lazy or appear to be rushing through your serve. PRACTICE...that can't be stressed enough. Practice makes it go smoothly. Don't cut and paste your serve, make it different each time. Watch your spelling also, that can ruin an otherwise good serve. |
