Venue Rules

Note: This venue has no opening schedule, keep an eye out in party finder or for an opening ping in the Discord.

Beware spoilers! The soup kitchen's timeline is in line with the current MSQ, so make sure you're up to date on the story. Since it's set in Ishgard, this likely won't be a problem, but characters from the current patch and expansion location may visit and potentially spoil a few things for you.

1. Please be polite to staff and other players. Remember that there are people behind the screen. If someone is making you even slightly uncomfortable OOC, please contact me via Discord DMs or in game (IGN: Victor Cadieux)2. This is a SFW venue. Keep conversations PG-13 during opening hours. This is a place where children frequent in-character. Please behave appropriately. (Foul language is fine so long as it isn't overtly sexual, the owner swears like a sailor)
Outside of opening hours, talk about whatever you like, but please be respectful of other players in the space at all times
3. IC actions have IC consequences. Starting a fight? Getting hostile? Prepare to get kicked out. This is a soup kitchen, not a bar, and the guy who runs the kitchen doesn't mess around when it comes to the people he's taking care of.4. OOC actions have OOC consequences. If you continue to behave inappropriately after being warned, you will be barred. If you behave super inappropriately, you will be barred without warning. If you come here just to troll or run around being disruptive, you're getting barred too.
5. Bigots and bigoted behaviour and language will not be tolerated. Racism, LGBT-phobia-- I don't need to make a list because you know who you are. You're not welcome here, you never will be. This also goes for lalafell lewd-ers.6. Please keep lore-breaking characters out of the venue, it can be difficult to RP around and immersion-breaking for a lot of people.
Warriors of light and characters from The First and The Ninth are welcome, NPC roleplayers can also feel free to stop by as long as it would make sense for them to do so.7. Expect your character to be reacted to appropriately. If your character is unusual for the area (or in general), native Ishgardians are possibly going to have a lot of questions and treat you as an outsider. If your character tells someone they're from another shard or a warrior of light, don't expect everyone to believe you.8. There is no syncshell, there will never be a syncshell. Use Lightfinder or similar if you'd like to sync with others. If you are using mods that other people can see, please keep them SFW and appropriate. If I see a screenshot of you doing something you shouldn't, roleplayer meet door.9. Please keep the venue uncluttered. Keep OOC chatter to a minimum, put minions away if they aren't there in-character and please hide your weapons.10. Have fun! The rules are easy to follow. Make use of the amenities as you like, lamp if you want to, AFK in the corner for all I care. I truly hope you can enjoy your time here, relax and make some meaningful connections.

Secret Menu

Moko brownies
Members of the drug scene may be aware of, or have heard of the most heavenly moko brownies to grace your tongue. They have different toppings for different strengths.Plain brownies: No effect, no moko, but still delicious.Powdered sugar: Just enough to ease anxiety or pain, medicinal rather than recreational. You won't get a high from these, but your nerves and mild pain will be settled for several hours.Chocolate sprinkles: Gives a mellow, very mild high. Relaxing and light. You'll still be able to function perfectly, but feel like you're floating on the softest cloud. A favourite of the owner.Rainbow sprinkles: Still high, but not too high. Expect plenty of giggles, munchies and an all around good time. Great for parties!Rocky road: Enough moko to put you on your ass for at least 6 hours. Use sensibly. Not for beginners!1000 gil per brownie, 10,000 for a full tray. Brownies without moko cost only half as much. (IC roleplayed gil only)

Rumour has it that the ex-criminal proprietor of this soup kitchen offers additonal services.
If you made a mess of someone, he'll clean up your crime scene spic-and-span, for a price."I've spilled my soup" Is the alleged phrase to allow you access to his janitorial service, to which he'll pull you aside to discuss business.Alternatively, Victor can make an excellent contact in the criminal underworld. While he's retired many of his old services such as murder, grand theft and jailbreaking, he still retains the skills from his former professions, and makes a valuable asset and ally, if he likes you enough.
