General Discussion / Lily's Absence
« Last post by Marcus Lycus on December 16, 2024, 01:23:43 pm »
For those who missed it, Lily is going to be away from us for a while. Her computer finally died and she can't afford to replace it at the moment.

She contacted me through Discord on her phone and let me know what is going on.

General Discussion / A thrall is caged

callum
Coming to myself on the hard earth of the plain. Feeling dried blood from a cut on my forehead.

callum
Taking a turn around the ornamental gardens, allowing myself to unwind. My head throbbing no less angrily

Tula
Seeing a strange man walkig around dazed, I call the guards who speedily catch him and drag him towards the cages.

Tula
Pushing the wretched man into one of the cages, the guard snarls at him. "Stay silent until the Master of the House or his first girl come to take a look at you."

callum
Out of the blue, I am pounced on by three thick set guards. I resist but the make short work of me then drag me in the direction of some slave cages. I catch the eye of a bondmaid who seems to be supervising my capture.

callum
My struggles earned me a bang on the head from one of the iron bars. Biting my lip, I glance again at the bondmaid, as the cage clangs shut.

Tula
I walk away, leaving the man in his cage. Someone else will decide about his fate.

General Discussion / Regarding the Inkeeper
« Last post by Marcus Lycus on October 15, 2024, 10:58:59 pm »
Recently, we've had a "new" player nosing around seeking employment as an innkeeper.

I have banned her from the room for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that the House of Lycus has no need for an innkeeper.

The brothel and tavern are there purely for training purposes and as a courtesy to our guests.  While rooms on the upper floors might be made available for a night, that is a rarity granted only to friends of the House.  As I told Calculus, we are not a B&B.  Bed and Breakfast or Blowjobs and Bondage.

Although...

Slave Information / Steps of Serves
« Last post by Lady Ivenia on October 04, 2024, 03:09:30 pm »
Although you may be required to prepare an entire meal, a serve of beverage alone is much more common. The basic framework of a SOUTHERN STYLE serve has nine (9) steps:

Quote
1. Approaching the Master; kneeling position/posture
2. Acknowledging the request of the Master
3. Going to the serving area
4. Selecting the eating/drinking vessel
5. Inspection and cleaning of the eating/drinking vessel
6. Selecting and/or preparation of the food or drink
7. Returning to the Master
8. Approaching the Master; kneeling position/posture
9. Offering of the food or drink

You will follow this pattern for most of your service.  However, with that being said, a NORTHERN STYLE serve is vastly different. Up North, slaves have a lot to do outside of serving food and drink.  Northern slaves tend to chores, and are constantly busy from dawn to dusk.  Every slave of the North is expected to do his or her share of the work, and it takes a lot of work to ensure that things are all set and ready for the long winters.  There are gardens to be dug, planted, weeded, tended, harvested, and so forth.  There are verr to be milked, fed, shepherded, shaved of wool and made ready for winter.  There is food to be cooked, storage to be checked and sorted, and even more to be done.  There is no shortage of chores to do for slaves here.  By the time evening rolls around, slaves are often exhausted and sent to kennel after their nightly bath.

Thus, service is to be kept minimal.  This is not to say that you should not attend beautifully, respectfully and with the honor of your Home.  However, your service to expected to be short and sweet. 

Your initial service will include bringing forth a tankard or horn and horn stand.  You will fill these in the kitchen and bring them forth to the person you're serving.  If that person is a Free Man, you are to lean over His left shoulder to set the item to the table where He sits.  You can make this as sexy and sensual as you please.  If that person is a Free Woman, you will be demure in your service to Her, but you will place the item to the table where She sits.  If you are not then kept at their service, you are to be watchful of emptying tankards and horns.

Should someone need a refill, you do not ask.  You simply fetch a pitcher of whatever they're drinking and unobtrusively refill their vessel.  Move on once you do this and either return the pitcher to the kitchen or make sure that everyone has a refill if they need one.

With food, you will fetch whatever is asked for and bring it to the table in the same manner as serving drink.  When their plate is empty, simply remove it from the table and return it to the kitchen.

The default type of service here is SOUTHERN STYLE.  However, should a Jarl enter and desire service, you may use the NORTHERN STYLE - or simply ask which style they prefer, as you are trained (or are training) for both!

"Of course, Master," said the girl. The girl nodded and, rising gracefully, backing away a step or two, head down, turned and went to the kitchen. — Assassin of Gor, page 106.

"Bring wine," he said to Elizabeth, who, her mouth filled with meat; went and fetched a small skin of wine and a cup, which she filled for him. — Nomads of Gor, page 142.

"Give him Ka-la-na wine," prompted Elizabeth.
       Aphris got up and fetched not a skin, but a bottle, of wine, Ka-la-na wine, from the Ka-la-na orchards of great Ar itself. She also brought a black, red-trimmed wine crater from the isle of Cos. "May I serve you?" she asked.
       Kamchak's eyes glinted. "Yes," he said. She poured wine into the crater and replaced the bottle. Kamchak had watched her hands very carefully. She had had to break the seal on the bottle to open it. The crater had been upside down when she had picked it up… Then she knelt before him in the position of the Pleasure Slave and, head down, arms extended, offered him the crater. He took it and sniffed it and then took a wary sip. Then he threw back his head and drained the crater. "Hah!" said he when finished. — Nomads of Gor, pages 150-151.

"Serve me wine," I said. She did so, kneeling before me, head down, handing me the black, red-trimmed wine crater, that of the master… — Nomads of Gor, page 293.

A girl in a tunic of white silk, gracefully, carrying a large pitcher of diluted Ka-la-na wine, approached our table from the rear, and climbed the stairs, delicately, and as though timidly, head down. Then she leaned forward behind me, bending her knees slightly, her body graceful. Her voice in my ear was a whisper, an invitation. I looked at her. Her eyes met mine, beautiful, deep, gray. tier lips were slightly parted. "Wine, Master?" asked Virginia Kent. Virginia served me, bowed her head and backed gracefully down the stairs behind me, then turned and hurried away. "She is White Silk, of course," said Ho-Tu. I glanced at Virginia Kent, who was now moving about the tables, in the incredibly brief silken slave livery, the pitcher on her left shoulder, held there gracefully with her left hand. — Assassin of Gor, pages 186-187.

"Serve me wine," he said. I turned and, among the furnishings of the tent, found a bottle of Ka-la-na, of good vintage, from the vineyards of Ar, the loot of a caravan raid. I then took the wine, with a small copper bowl, and a black, red-trimmed wine crater, to the side of the fire. I poured some of the wine into the small copper bowl, and set it on the tripod over the tiny fire in the fire bowl… I poured the wine from the small copper bowl into the black, red-trimmed wine crater, placing the small bowl in a rack to one side of the fire. I swirled, slowly, the wine in the wine crater. I saw my reflection in the redness, the blondness of my hair, dark in the wine, and the collar, with its bells, about my throat… I, carrying the wine crater, rose to my feet and approached him. I then knelt before him, with a rustle of slave bells, in the position of the pleasure slave. I put my head down and, with both hands, extending my arms to him, held forth the wine crater. "I offer you wine, Master," I said. — Captive of Gor, page 311.

"Sheera knelt before me, her head down, resting back on her heels, her arms extended to me, proffering me, in the manner of the Gorean slave girl, the wine bowl." — Hunters of Gor, pages 95-96.

"… later I had moved among them, as they had summoned me, pouring them wine and Paga. I must take the goblet, fill it, kiss it delicately and proffer it to the male. — Slave Girl of Gor, page 53.

"Paga," said a man's voice. I turned toward him. I saw he sat with a second man. I knelt before them, head down, and poured the Paga into his cup. "Serve me the Paga," said the man. I put down the Paga flask which I carried that I might, unencumbered, assume the position of serving Paga, or wine, to a Gorean male. "First remove the silk," he said. I did so. He was a customer. I was his to command. Then I knelt naked before him, head down. "You may now serve the Paga," he said. "Yes, Master," I said. I reached to take the cup, in both hands. One kneels, one proffers the cup, head down, with both hands, to the male. — Slave Girl of Gor, pages 304-305.

I hurried to the counter and handed Busebius, who was beaming, the Paga vessel and strap. Again it had been emptied. He dipped the vessel into a great vat of Paga and returned it to me."Paga! Paga!" I heard. I did not even have time to slip the vessel on its strap over my shoulder. Holding its two handles with my hands, I fled back, with a jangle of slave bells, to the floor, to serve. — Slave Girl of Gor, page 298.

"Does Master desire aught?" asked a black girl, kneeling before me, a Paga slave of the establishment.
"Paga," I said to her. She rose to her feet and went to the vat behind the counter. — Explorers of Gor, page 132.

"She then went to one of the large, wooden, covered water buckets, roped to the deck, and in it submerged a water-skin. I heard the bubbling as the skin filled… I noted the blondish girl, the water bag now, wet and heavy, over her shoulder, going to the men of the Forkbeard, to offer them drink." — Marauders of Gor, page 63.

"He then said to me," she said, " "Pour wine into the goblet. Fill it precisely to the second ring." There were five rings on the outside of the goblet. I poured the Wine, as he had asked, and then placed the goblet on the coffee table. — Fighting Slave of Gor, page 18.

House Information / Slave Status and Meaning
« Last post by Lady Ivenia on October 04, 2024, 02:52:44 pm »
When slaves enter their collar here, they are quietly evaluated.  Each slave is then given a designation.

- In Training - ALL white silk girls except those specifically being trained as Ladies' maids are given this designation.  This gives them time to learn and grow without the worry of pleasing Men in a sexual manner.  This designation means that these slaves are fully sexually restricted.  Occasionally, girls who are red silk but without a lot of experience can be given this designation as well.

- Intermediate - These girls have the basic training and ability to serve Men sexually as they continue to grow in their collar and slavery.

- Brothel Girl/ Tavern Girl - These girls have no restrictions and may serve Men in any fashion.  These girls may also be considered for sale if someone wishes them.

- Ladies' Maid - These girls are specifically trained to serve Free Women.  They are white silk girls and are restricted from the sexual use of Men.  They may be sold to Women who inquire after them.

- Hall Slave - These slaves tend to the needs of not only the Reception Hall but of all the chambers and offices that are part of the Hall as well.  They are typically not restricted unless Master Lycus sees need for it, and are not to work outside the Hall.



Those wearing the tag "Restricted to the House" are sexually restricted to Members of the House only.  No outsider may have sexual access to them.

More to come as necessary.

General Discussion / Regarding the Caging of Liam
« Last post by Marcus Lycus on September 23, 2024, 06:14:40 pm »
Hello all.

I have logged and read through the incident on Sunday, where Liam, a slave of Tharna, was caged while observing in the House of Lycus.

While I commend the speed with which Thorgeir and Claudia responded to a fox in our henhouse (so to speak), the fact of the matter is that he did have ~o~ in his name and did not interact with anyone until he was spoken to. 

This, to me, represents a good faith attempt to observe under the site rules, even if he was not using the official OOC or observing pulldown. Not all rooms have this feature and one likely wouldn't notice it if they were honestly watching things rather than taking part.

That being said, I have spoken with Liam, and he is (as Claudia noted) in a largely inactive city. And he may be looking for a new home.

I have consulted with the wise and lovely Chimera and confirmed that the general rule of thumb on Portal of Dreams is that if a slave does not hear from their Master in two weeks, they can be considered abandoned and seek a new home. (By the same token, a slave who does not report to their Master for two weeks can be declared a runaway.)

For now, Liam is welcome to observe in the House of Lycus so long as he uses the ~o~ tag.  I have freed him from his cage and intend to inform him of my decision when I next see him.

You may get your pretty thrall yet, Claudia, but we must do this by the book. *grins*
