Private booths and large party accommodation, accessible only to those with the proper password.Additional facilities may or may not be available.【Illusion is queer and trans⚧ run/friendly ic & ooc】

Openings may or may not be listed in the 'Other' tab of Party Finder, & they will always be posted in discord.
In Character(The Café)
Illusion is a cramped way-station for travelers and adventurers. All will be granted sanctuary if they ask. The hungry will be fed, and the bedless will sleep easy. The strange, queer, and even the monstrous are not turned away.In addition to the cramped café, there is a large collection of books and scrolls on a variety of topics, primarily sourced from the Sharlayan colony, for public perusal.Weapons are allowed inside, but there will be no fighting.
(Girl's Bar)
A secret girl's bar operates out of the basement of a small café in the Mist. Only those with the password can enter. Could this be it? It doesn't really seem like it, but...Very strange visitors may be more brazen in speaking about this place, but can such beings generally be trusted?
Out of Character(The Café)
A place for chill café/tavern roleplay. The characters on staff have extensive ongoing stories, and sometimes that may spill over into the bar. Please expect appropriate in-character responses to anything out of pocket.Some Free Company chambers may be used for Rp on a case by case basis.If you come here expecting erp, you'll probably be disappointed.
(Girl's Bar)
For the most part, this element of the venue is part of our private story, only for trusted friends, not a minigame for first time café guests or a thinly veiled brothel.Please do not assert your character has meta-game knowledge of the secret bar's existence. Rumors are one thing, but assertions like this are a guarantee that your character will never be trusted with entry.
"Primordially empty, phenomena do not come.
They have not come, they are not present, and they have no location.
They are always without essence; they have the nature of an illusion.
They are all pure—completely pure like space."

About Us (Out of Character)
"Things have no true reality;
Because of wrongly grasping them as real
Do ordinary people therefore
Revolve in the prison of birth and death."
-
We (the two owners of Illusion) have been Rping in FFXIV on and off for around five years, and much more elsewhere. Our interest is story-driven, character focused serious role-play with queer, trans, and monstrous themes, and creating spaces for characters that may not fit in elsewhere.
