You turn a corner and suddenly find yourself in a strange alley. You think at first that you might have lost your way, but your surroundings are extremely unfamiliar. The air smells like brine and the sea, but not like La Noscea. The neatly-hewn stone road below your feet and smooth walls are nothing like you've ever seen. Your feet take you to an entrance in a wall which leads to a staircase down, down, and to what looks like an upscale bar. You somehow you feel at home.The barkeep smiles and nods at you in acknowledgment as you appear around the corner. They call out with a smooth voice, "Hello, stranger. Have a seat, anywhere you like. Take your time ordering." Without another word, they continue to chat quietly with another person sitting at the bar. Have a seat you will, you suppose.
down.stairs doesn't have set hours because it's just a fun side project for me! It opens whenever it's advertised in PF, and when I make announcements in various RP discords or on Twitter. It's a bar opened by the Ancient counterpart of my WoL, Ayer, called Theia (they/them). Their bar was recreated alongside the city of Amaurot by Emet-Selch, and denizens from other worlds/shards may visit by chance when the flows of aether and dynamis decide to guide their feet to the venue.Please feel free to RP (or not), and enjoy your time in the venue. Just take note of a few ground rules:
ERP is not allowed in this venue. While discussion of such topics is acceptable within reasonable bounds, roleplaying of such scenarios is not. Guests are advised to take such interactions into /tell or party chat.
If you have issues with other guests, you are advised to either take such discussions outside of the venue or into /tells. Just like you wouldn't start a fight in a real public place, don't do so here. You may also /tell Ayer Kahjaa for assistance.
down.stairs is is an LGBT-friendly, diverse space. Bigotry or harassment of any kind is not allowed, and guests found to be making others uncomfortable with their behavior will be asked to leave.
This venue is always open for GPOSE and RP, and we encourage you to tag us on Twitter or Bluesky with our hashtag #downstairsxiv!
