Step into After Effect, where the night whispers of enchantment and the air pulses with the allure of hidden desires. Here, in our clandestine refuge, we cater to the tastes of the queer connoisseur, while extending a seductive welcome to all who dare to indulge in our realm of mystique.Within these walls, your drink is not merely a cocktail but a potion, masterfully concocted to awaken the depths of your spirit. Each elixir, infused with the potential for beguiling 'after effects,' promises to gently coax out your inner flirt, imbue you with irresistible confidence, or weave other tantalizing spells that linger long after the last sip.After Effect invites you to shed the mundane and embrace the extraordinary. It's a realm where LGBTQIA+ souls find solace and vibrancy, a haven that pulsates with the heartbeats of those who seek refuge in its embrace.

don't be an asshole to anyone, alright? just be kind and understanding to everyone in the venue- staff and patron alike -and don't cause a scene ic or ooc. if you have an issue please take it up with the owner quietly or deal with it elsewhere. we're all here to just enjoy some light hearted rp, so keep it chill.the fc rooms are free to use by everyone. so don't hesitate to go explore the rooms or relocate your roleplay to one if you so desire. the rooms are all themed to various 'fantasies' so use that as you will. the rooms are open use for everyone so you cannot claim or rent out a room.all drink after effects are completely optional. They are meant to simply be a fun and interactive way for your character to enjoy our drinks on another level. they are also a good way for you to get out there and engage with the other patrons or to make your character act in a way they might not normally.

keep all 18+ roleplay in /tell or /party. while we do not mind people getting handsy, or flirty, we ask that you move all 18+ to private lines. we ask this for safety reasons, wishing to avoid our staff and patrons being reported. you may still freely have fun on the couches, just do it in /party chat!respect our staff and their boundaries. this means if they say they are not interested or are uncomfortable with your advances, then back off. we are not a brothel, we do not sell sex, so it is the choice of our staff whether they will go home with you that night or not after closing hours for some fun.we are a venue that focuses heavily on roleplay. so we ask that you be in character at all times in the public chat avenues and keep all ooc to /tells or other private means. we like to keep our atmosphere immersive for everyone. this also means that we ask that you do not troll the venue or our people. you will be ignored.

What's to come? WIP

HISTORY
Ravi, a turali alchemist, had opened After Effect as a way to bring people together with good drinks that brought out specific qualities of the people who drank them. Qualities such as making a shy person more outgoing or enhancing specific senses. Unfortunately, Ravi's past came back to haunt him and one day he had vanished without a trace. With no one to pick up where Ravi had left off in fostering a community, a viera named Divya called in a favor to Shato to take over as owner of After Effect. Supernatural beings began to take an interest in the small venue, snaking their way into the establishment from it's open and welcoming doors. How did the effects for the drinks at After Effect keep getting refilled? A question on everyone's mind but one no one thought to sought the answer to.

.

PREMISE
In order to enact her plan of just having a little fun and gaining the human's trust, Circe turned her head towards After Effect. Being the Sylph Queen, she was able to replace all of Ravi's effects effortlessly, and in the meantime she was silently gaining the patrons trust and adoration, for one unwanted side effect of eating or drinking fae food was that you belonged to the fae afterward. How could the patrons have been aware that they were secretly being offered food and drink from the fae? Is After Effect even considered a part of the fae realm? Food and drink consumed from the fae not in the fae realm has a completely different meaning.In the shadows of the forest, there is an opposing force biding its time and slowly siphoning off the aether and guests of After Effect. they Sylpheed fae also begin to encroach on the venue's lands, as the land itself is not a part of Circe's kingdom, she has no claim over it solely. When the guests start disappearing, Circe is forced to show herself and make a pact with the venue owner to protect the patrons and her court. In exchange for chasing away the Sylpheed, Circe promised to clear the fog in his brain that kept Shato from drawing upon his aether.

—   staff list.

  ravi viegas  .

bio. Vanished, no one knows what happened to him or the fate of this Turali miqo. He seems to have somehow left his bar in Shato's hands.

  shato arisato  .

bio. Foul mouthed, rude, and just a bit prude. Words as sharp as a serpents sting until you crack the walls that he puts up. Thrown the reigns recently, he's finding his feet in the spotlight as owner. Now he's under the Seelie's spell, acting as their protector in exchange for control over his aether.

  circe  .

bio. Known to the public as Nalayassa Fhukku, she's the seelie queen and the patron deity of After Effect. The one who took over the mixing of the effects after Ravi left, she's just trying to strengthen the relationships between man and seelie. Though the unseelie are up to something, she just doesn't know what yet.

  larkspur nightbriar  .

bio. talented potion brewer and mildly eccentric, lark appeared out of nowhere it felt like and became a manager almost instantly. despite all of the fey iconography in their tattoos and what not, they insist they're just a normal little xaela/hyur mix. definitely not a sylpheed

  seraphin bourreau  .

bio. Sweet Seraphin emerged from the Shroud's caves into a world of wonders he can't wait to commit to canvas. Though shy at first, his genuine curiosity and gentle charm make him delightful company.

  ren'li molkot  .

bio. Easy going, impulsive, and charismatic. Ren’s your guy if you’re looking to have fun and let loose, and he will not be the voice of reason if you want to get into trouble. He’ll be right beside you.

  ciri fyth  .

bio. Shy, nervous, kind and polite! Ciri greets everyone with a smile and a cheerful hello! It might take him a bit to open up but when he does, he's very loyal and caring. He's trying to get better at flirting, he is very weak to a man's sweet words. Easily flustered by them actually!

  remiel  .

bio. A mischievous little troublemaker, a pure switch that loves to rile up their partner. They work hard and play harder, Remiel is a little delight that can be a sadomasochistic dominant, or a sweet and gentle submissive as you desire them to be.

  Ryeh Freefoot  .

bio. Easy-going, friendly, and genuinely happy to meet folks, Ryeh Freefoot is a native to La Noscea. Born and bred in Limsa Lominsa, he spent much of his life at sea, but recently settled on land for a time. While the horizon still calls, he finds himself enjoying more regular pay and interacting with the folks he meets.

  siren marwolaeth  .

bio. Foul mouthed, even more foul tempered, the only thing more sharp than his tongue is the knives he always keeps hidden on his person.

  arawind sol  .

bio. a cool-voiced wanderer who feels a little too scholarly for the darker corners he works in. But the way he handles a shaker - precise, fluid, almost intimate - hints at another frequency beneath the polite smile.

  alor orkhane  .

bio. sassy, salacious, and saccharine sweet, this revenant of the Shroud's dark past serves up a tall drink of luxury in a small package. Alor is all too happy to play the part of a perfect gentleman, one who would stand on tiptoe to fetch you top shelf spirits. He's also just as keen to shed all pretense for a primal, unforgettable night.

  schitz popinhoff  .

bio. Schitz is a sweet and friendly sort, who's good intentions get bogged down by her strange way of speaking (almost sounding threatening in a way) and her spooky looking gestures. She'll not hesitate to try her best to put a smile on someone's face, considering everyone a new friend she just hasn't met yet!

  Valentine Raha  .

bio. A golden tongue Miqo'te who always has a sensual, little flirty comment at the ready for a customer. Enjoy a cocktail and explore his other talents, and read your future through a tarot card reading.

  kasarin ymir  .

bio. Originally from Thavnair, a soft-spoken, timid Viera with empathic gifts. Wave him over for a night of profound experience you'll never forget. This bun has a sensual side waiting to be unleashed.

  igor ilawesfv  .

bio. Igor is a man with a strong facade of a heavy ego, and a stunningly foul temper to match. Believing he needs to be elegant in all things, Igor passionately and relentlessly pursues his interests, even if his horrific luck and repeated failures in most things bog his mind.

  coral cove  .

bio. Himbo incarnate, Coral is a dumbass, but he doesn't know that, so it can't stop him. He's confident, cocky, and a serial flirt, he runs his mouth before giving it any thought, and it often ropes him into trouble. Not that he minds, trouble is fun, and half the time, he doesn't even realise that he's IN trouble. He doesn't realise much, actually, he forms a thought maybe once a moon. He is here to live life to it's fullest!

  winter calm  .

bio. Winter is a fun and flirty Viera who puts the happiness and satisfaction of his guests first.. But only when gil is involved. Once he's off the floor and there are no cameras around, he tends to be, for a lack of better words... a bitch. Icy cold like his namesake. There is a little warmth to him, however. If you can find it.

  w'rir tia  .

bio. Naive, optimistic, excitable, and oh so orange, W'rir's the walking embodiment of sunshine. This illiterate miqo'te tries to make friends with anyone and everyone, whether you want him to or not. Pet his head and he'll go to war for you. He tries to do everything in his power to make people happy!

  evie briar  .

bio. While he can still be as sweet as he looks, Evie can be quite mischievous and bratty once he learns that someone's safe to be himself around. The moment he's teased back or his height pointed out, he'll thump his foot or bite. Lovingly, of course.

  hisao fujikawa  .

bio. With shimmering white scales and a dazzling smile, Hisao will do everything in his power to charm the heart right out of your chest. But be warned! With charm comes a little danger, and Hisao is prone to seek fun no matter the cost. He knows he's pretty, he knows you like him. The only thing he needs to know is just how far you'll go to get him.

—   contract list.

Contract employees are employees that can no longer make every opening but do try to pop in every few months.

  Augustiniel Orraux  .

bio. Jovial and good humored, if mysterious, Auggie's curiosity and skill with elemental magics are as genuine as they come. Quick as levin with a laugh, he'd much rather ask questions than give answers.

  orchestra orkhane  .

bio. A man haunted by a curse, product of a sin committed by his hand. Orchestra’s a shy yet charming man who wears his heart on his sleeve. His many scars reveal a history far too long to fully recall.
