White and grey training silk slaves are reminded that their duties are being trained and studying then doing chores once instructed to do so in training. They are not to offer service unless told by the Ubar, Head Slaver or trainer's as part of their training.
Chores are to be at least three lines in length per post and a minimum of three posts. The slaves of Landa are expected to do at least 3 chores a week. Chores are to be posted to the Choreboard. A slave will begin to do chores after they have been instructed to do so in accordance to Landas training plan. The chore scrolls gives some chore suggestions and you can always ask a trainer for help or suggestions.
Once you are able to serve you will offer to serve the Free in the same order you greeted them do not randomly ask to serve you should kneel on the edge of the Master/Mistress furs and ask each Master/Mistress individually if He/She wishes to be served.
Keep yourself busy at all times you are not to remain idle, even while studying... post from time to time what you are doing, such as brushes her hair away from her face as she continues to study the scrolls, shifts slightly on the furs as she is studying, stretch, walk around Landa taking in your new surroundings etc. talk to your new sisters and brothers get to know them and your new home.
Serving the Free does not always mean serving food and drink or furring, but also may include doing a task or errand or job for a Free.
Depending on previous training and ATTITUDE a kajira may quickly move to the next level of silks by a interview with the Ubar or Head Slaver or trainer's and completing the all the required assignments. Also once the yellow silk level is achieved and the slave has been displaying the proper attitude she may be permitted to challenge for her previous achieved level of silks upon Gor or Red silk.
Some chore examples:
Churning Butter A description for those that have never seen a butter churn; it is about waist high made of wood and cone shaped, and at the top is a hole with what looks like a broom handle going through it. This broom handle has a round disk on the end, and the top that has the hole is a lid and can be removed. The churn is built a lot like a cask, with wood slats and metal rings holding it together. To make butter, you need bosk cream. Remove the lid and pour in the cream to about one third full. Then replace the lid with the (broom handle). It should fit snuggly. The handle with the disk on the end (which is inside the churn) should move up and down freely. Hold the handle and begin pulling it up and pressing it down. The process takes a long time, but check often to see the lumps forming. Once the liquid is a pale milky color and there is a lot of yellow lumps (butter), you can remove them and place them in a clean rep cloth. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible (save this its buttermilk). When the butter is all squeezed, add some salt (not too much), mix it well, then put it into a container and into the cool room. Congratulations, you have now made butter!
Milking Bosk You should have a clean bucket or pale, whichever you prefer. Get the bosk into a milking stall by placing feed in the trough. Have a clean wet rep cloth with you to wipe the udder. Make sure it's clean before you start to milk, and your hands are clean as well. Now place a stool next to the bosk. Talk calmly and quietly, and even hum.. it helps to keep them calm. Place the bucket beneath the udder and grasp one teat in each hand. What you want to do is squeeze from the top as you pull down. This causes the milk to be trapped and pressed out and into the bucket. Careful you don't squirt the milk outside the bucket. Be sure that you milk the bosk until there is no milk left. Check all the teats by trying to milk them, and when no more milk comes out it is safe to assume that she has been stripped. If you don't do this, she will get sick and lose her milk.
Cleaning Bosk & Kaiila Pens You will need fresh bedding, a pitch fork, and a wheel barrel of sorts. This is best to do when they have just been fed after milking. Go around the enclosure and gather the dung, saving the dried dung for the fires. Take all the soiled bedding out as well, and replace it with fresh bedding (straw).
Making Cheese Cheese is made from bosk milk that has not had the cream removed, salt, and sometimes spices are added to this mixture. It is heated and stirred continuously in a very large deep pan. It must not boil, just be warm. Curds will form in the milk and, when enough have formed, remove them from the milk and place them in a bowl. The curds will need to be put into a press that molds them and then set in a room to cure. The longer it sets, the better it tastes. After it has aged long enough, it needs to have the mold cut off from the sides, wrapped carefully, and be placed in the cool room.
Gathering Eggs & Changing Vulo Bedding A vulo pen is a wire enclosure, with wire all the way around and over the top (keeps them from flying off and other things from getting in). Within the enclosure is a little shed type building with a door for kajiri to enter. This door has a hole in the bottom big enough for the vulo to enter as they wish. Inside are small poles for them to roost and boxes to lay their eggs in. Each box has bedding (straw) as well as the floor of the vulo shed. Enter carefully, as vulo like to sneak past and run free. Have a basket with you for the eggs, as well as a wheel barrel and fresh bedding. In the basket, have feed for the vulo. Toss it on the ground so that they will be busy while you go into the shed and find the eggs. Some may not lay in the boxes, so check everywhere, then remove the old bedding from the floor and boxes and replace it with fresh straw. You may want to place a damp rep cloth over your nose and mouth while cleaning the bedding, as the dust from the vulo droppings is fine, and that will stop you from breathing it in.
Please note that when bottling or sealing anything, ensure that whatever is being used is sterilized with boiling water.
