Rules
IC Rules (written on the back of the menu)
1. No fighting. Please take it outside.
2. No damaging the books. Take any you want home with you for free, though, and damage them there if you want.
3. Do not go behind the bar. Do not climb on the bar.
4. Do not bring drugs or large weapons into the venue.
5. If there are bards or storytellers onstage, do not bother or disrupt them (talking is fine).
6. Yes, there is a ghost. Yes, she's allowed to be here. Please do not attempt any exorcisms.
7. The owner's name is Sachiko. Please do not shorten it.
8. No void discussion or void-related activity.
9. No animals or pets of any kind, with the exception of service animals. Familiars are fine if they don't create disruptions or hygiene issues.OOC Rules
1. This is a heavy immersive roleplay cafe. Minimize OOC chatter in /say and do not discuss real world events. If you are in the cafe, you are playing a character in the FF14 universe. Please use quotation marks to denote dialogue so everyone can tell that it is your character speaking.
2. This is a strictly SFW, all ages venue. No ERP, light ERP, unnecessary descriptions of touching, or anything else that someone might squint at and mistake for ERP.
3. No acting like a creep. This includes sending unsolicited weird tells to people, trying to pressure someone into roleplaying with you when they have made it clear that they do not want to, or participating in any other kind of OOC harassment.
4. No slurs, transphobia, homophobia, racism, sexism, or any other kind of real-world prejudice. IC-specific conflict (e.g., Garleans, voidsent) will be handled IC. [Yes, this means that "no void bullshit" is an IC sentiment, not an OOC one - it's open 'voidy' activities that will get your character into trouble!]Breaking any of these rules will get you ejected and possibly permanently banned from the cafe. If you see someone doing anything on the above list, please report it to staff immediately.
