Proofing service - ie tasting drinks, foods etc
Ramses 20:17:52 pm CDT
I have never seen that ...
zoya, have you been asked to do that?
Ramses 20:17:12 pm CDT
the first question:
do any Free require you to "proof" or "test" their drinks here?
Ramses 20:15:30 pm CDT
so .. are there any questions
I know this is a small group but lets do this anyway
kadife{GS} 20:18:57 pm CDT
this slave has never been asked to do that Master....
narin {GS} 20:19:51 pm CDT
in my old home, we would have assassins come in and want their drinks tested for poisons. so we would pours some into a cupped hand and drink some before they would put it to their lips
narin {GS} 20:20:20 pm CDT
or drink from a separate side of the rim
zoya {GS} 20:20:26 pm CDT
maybe once, Master. she thinks the Captains would be offended if One didn't trust the drinks in Their tavern. Yet, this is the City of Theives, lots of mistrust abounds, Master.
Ramses 20:21:26 pm CDT
*L*
that does make sense
narin {GS} 20:22:04 pm CDT
what this girl does most of the time...is offer to test their drink, that way they can say yes or no without upsetting others?
kadife{GS} 20:22:12 pm CDT
well.. this slave was given a daisy made out of fruit by a Free this girl took it and ate it..... did thid girl do wrong?
kadife{GS} 20:22:30 pm CDT
opps that was not a whisper sorry
Ramses 20:22:34 pm CDT
we know most of the black caste who frequent this Tavern though
Drusus and Kuurus come to mind
so they tend be more trusting
Nyxx~♥~Artisan 20:22:52 pm CDT
~steps in with her tiny slippered feet and on goes to furs to kneel FW style upon them and smiles to all here~ Tal and greeting all
Ramses 20:23:06 pm CDT
narin, I don't think you need to offer here
narin {GS} 20:23:44 pm CDT
perhaps it was just her home. alot of visitors would come, and they didnt know everyone too well, so maybe thats why they had doubts
Ramses 20:23:53 pm CDT
zoya, can you scribe for us? and send me the scrolls
narin {GS} 20:23:53 pm CDT
yes Master, thank you
zoya {GS} 20:23:59 pm CDT
~*~nods hearing narin~*~ zoya can see that being possible for an assassin, tho zoya has only ever seen two ever dare to come into GS. but if you are asked to test a drink, yes, drink from the vessel you are serving then turn the vessel to offer a clean edge to the Master.
Ramses 20:24:55 pm CDT
nods in agreement with
~zoya~ {GS} 20:26:03 pm CDT
yes Master ~*~gathers some rence and a writing stick from the cabinet~*~
Ramses 20:26:33 pm CDT
thank you zoya
Ramses 20:27:21 pm CDT
now ... onto kadife's question
Ramses 20:28:18 pm CDT
kadife, slaves are suppposed to eat only what the COuncil gives them .. mostly salve gruel
Ramses 20:28:51 pm CDT
however, we do allow some leeway
candy as a reward for for a good serve for instance
Nyxx~♥~Artisan 20:29:11 pm CDT
so us frees are not allowed to give them treats of rock candy or fruit?
Ramses 20:31:16 pm CDT
with Pledged ...there is really no problem as long as it is not a feast!
*L*
with Strangers is is important that we be safe
narin {GS} 20:32:22 pm CDT
nods, listening
Nyxx~♥~Artisan 20:32:54 pm CDT
ok good to know as I like to give them dates or fruits as well as candy for good serves ~smiles~
~zoya~{GS} 20:34:30 pm CDT
zoya thinks that too many treats breeds girls that will expect treats. we need to be reminded we are here for the Free's pleasure, our life depends on it. we should serve well out of fear of being good enough, not to earn treats.
Ramses 20:34:42 pm CDT
so many new faces here
its good to review the basic rules
Ramses 20:35:30 pm CDT
zoya, that's why I rarely hand them out
I think FW tend to be more generous with treats
Nyxx~♥~Artisan 20:39:51 pm CDT
but yes I am generous ~smiles~ Nyxx~♥~Artisan 20:39:23 pm CDT
I believe the opposite, I believe it makes them serve even better, and I dont give them out after each serve nor everyday
Ramses 20:40:45 pm CDT
its a matter of personal preference Nyxx
we all prefer different forms of reinforcement
I use both types
Nyxx~♥~Artisan 20:41:04 pm CDT
but I am happy to know I am allowed to do so
Ramses 20:41:18 pm CDT
yes you are *G*
Ramses 20:52:41 pm CDT
are there any other topics or questions?
charis {GS} 20:52:52 pm CDT
*whispers softly* not really there are some Free who give small trinkets rather than candy
Ramses 20:53:20 pm CDT
trinkets can be an issue charis
slaves own nothing
kadife{GS} 20:53:42 pm CDT
whats a trinket?
Ramses 20:54:46 pm CDT
a small gift item kadife
charis {GS} 20:54:57 pm CDT
girls first three days here she was given a single bell for her collar and had to put it on the dais in the tavern
kadife{GS} 20:55:27 pm CDT
yes this girl understand that Master but what would a trinket be....this girl asks
~zoya~{GS} 20:55:35 pm CDT
any gifts of that sort need to be left on the dias for the Captains and if They see fit to allow you to wear the gift or use it, be it a brush maybe, then They will tell you. you would need to roleplay it out and send an email to the Captains about it.
Ramses 20:55:49 pm CDT
I'm not surprised charis
its up to the Council to allow you to use such items
charis {GS} 20:58:03 pm CDT
yes so go waits for yellow silks before she may use the small bell
Ramses 20:58:30 pm CDT
the yellows will come soon enough charis
~zoya~{GS} 20:59:22 pm CDT
a trinket is a small gift....bina bracelet or anklet, any jewelery, a mere ribbon for your hair, anything a Free gives a slave besides food.
~zoya~{GS} 21:00:26 pm CDT
use the small bell, charis? what is the bell for?
kadife{GS} 21:01:26 pm CDT
but a slave owns nothing how could she take such a thing?
charis {GS} 21:01:34 pm CDT
this girl would clip it back upon her collar and dance sweet zoya *smiles radiantly*
Ramses 21:01:36 pm CDT
growls at RT
I am going to have to declare Forum closed for tonight
Nyxx~♥~Artisan 21:01:55 pm CDT
~thinks to herself good thing she didnt bring that basket full of hair ribbons and jewlery here that she had for the girls~
Ramses 21:02:17 pm CDT
*L* that IS a good thing Nyxx!
narin {GS} 21:02:23 pm CDT
yes Master
charis {GS} 21:02:39 pm CDT
sweet kadife it will never really be girls bell it belongs to the Council
Ramses 21:02:40 pm CDT
I wish you all well
Nyxx~♥~Artisan 21:03:18 pm CDT
I wish you well Ramses ~smiles to him~
~zoya~{GS} 21:03:43 pm CDT
if it was given to you to wear and allowed by our Masters, why wait, charis? white silks may dance, just keep the heat limited and tamed.
charis {GS} 21:05:54 pm CDT
Master Xertog said not until charis has earned yellow silk
~zoya~{GS} 21:06:36 pm CDT
exactly, charis, we need to always remember that, even if we are given something to wear, it's still not ours. even the hair on our head belongs to our Masters.
~zoya~{GS} 21:07:36 pm CDT
ah, well then that makes sense, charis ~*~smiles~*~ extra incentive to earn yellows, hehehe
Gifts
Xertog 21:13:00 pm CDT
Greetings zoya. Come to me.
Nyxx~♥~Artisan 21:15:03 pm CDT
I met a man today that has returned to GS that has been gone for some time, a Mordecai, he was very nice and funny ~smiles in memory~ and today I met Sandman, was the 1st time we was in the same room to meet, and he also was very nice
~zoya~{GS} 21:15:26 pm CDT
~*~drops the scroll and sets the stick on top...rises from folded knees and walks the few steps to Him, sinking back down to knees, hands on thighs and chin lifted~*~
yes, Master, how may a girl be of service?
Xertog 21:21:49 pm CDT
zoya being of service is what I had in mind. 'smiles' ... Leans over and attaches the GS first girl tag to her collar.
Zoran 21:22:28 pm CDT
