SERVING BEVERAGES When serving beverages to a free person, it is customary for Gorean slaves to perform the Basic Gorean Wine Serving Ceremony. This is accomplished as follows:
1) The slave goes to the place where beverages are stored and aquires a suitable drinking vessel for the free person, and a container of the requested beverage.
2) They return quickly, kneel and fill the vessel from the container.
3) They kisses the vessel upon the rim, then spins the vessel around, to display the other side to the free person.
4) They lower their head, hold the vessel in outstretched arms toward the free person, and humbly informs the free person: "Master (Mistress) NAME, This slave offers you BEVERAGE NAME, and hopes you find the service pleasing."
5) They wait until the free person takes the vessel from them and waits to be dismissed. Once dismissed, they return to their previous position and awaits further commands.
The same basic ritual is performed when a slave serves food items, with a platter or serving tray replacing the drinking vessel in such a case.
Quite popular in some Gorean IRC channels, this action is performed simply by having the slave type in her actions, describing her movements as if she were actually dancing. It can be a difficult skill to perfect, and all are advised to learn more about the common Gorean slave dances before actually attempting to perform one in channel. If commanded to dance, a new slave might humbly beg the free person who gave the order not to insist upon it, since the slave has no experience in such matters. If the free person insists, then the slave must do his or her best, "winging it" as it were.The best IRC Gorean dances are "story dances" in which a slave acts out scenes from his or her own submission, to music. Dances should not, as a general rule, be a simulation or actual performance of a sex act. It is also important to remember that when one dances, one should be careful to describe only what the audience can see, and not what the slave is thinking or imagining. This tends to detract from the overall performance.
