General Information

An immersive RP venue.
A small, quiet bar stocked with much food, many drinks, and a few tomes. Dimly lit, yet carries a cozy atmosphere to ease its patrons into sharing their stories.

Hello! Tel (the player) here. I'm very familiar with RP but seeing as this is my very first venue, I may be prone to making mistakes. So, I want to thank you for your patience with me as I learn how to conduct a cozy venue where people can partake in RP and tell their wonderful stories. Feel free to send any constructive criticisms over DMs or in-game tells. Payment for orders is appreciated, but not necessary!

Rules

  1. This is an 18+ venue, applicable for both IC and OOC. Adult themes such as violence, substance use, and sexual content may be discussed here. However, explicit RP or talking should be kept to private channels (party chat, tells, linkshells).

  2. Consent is at the core of RP. If you feel like something would be out of normal interactions (fights, sexual discussions, etc.), please ask other involved parties.

  3. This venue does not tolerate any racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism, etc. Please respect one another.

  4. Disruptive patrons will be asked to leave. Please keep OOC talk to a minimum. If you use emotes as part of your RP, please turn off your emote log messages. RP posting with custom emotes (/em) is fine.

  5. Please refrain from using /shout or /yell, for any announcements will be made by me over those channels.
