ABOUT US


Street Rat. Trash. Lowlife. Outcast. Scum. Just a few words that might apply to those who find themselves at The Desert Rose. Taking the name as a nod to his time growing up on the streets of Ul'dah, Kotu'a set about creating a place where people like him could come together and be themselves. Located directly on the beach in Mists, The Desert Rose's exterior is a classy dress up of what's inside. Booze, gambling, hedonism, under the table deals, and other shady things go on behind its closed doors. Patrons are free to engage in whatever transactions their hearts desire here with few exceptions. No murder, no permanent harm of each other, and try to keep property destruction to a minimum.Staff are given the freedom to do as they please, too. No one is "assigned" a job. Staff should come in and do what makes them happy. One night they're a bartender slinging drinks, perhaps another they're connecting patrons who may have jobs for one another, and on yet another they're sneaking into a back room to make a quick gil off an impromptu tryst. The wisest patrons are the ones who know that they never know what someone might have to offer at the Rose. Someone might surprise you.OOC Note: While the Desert Rose is a venue geared towards the shadier side of the star, we welcome characters of all types of backgrounds. Ben Kenobi found himself in the Mos Eisley cantina, after all. We primarily cater to characters who are your average Joes or adventurers. This doesn't mean characters such as Voidsent or other more uncommon character types aren't welcome, though you may want to think twice about being open about what you are. You've got to hunt, eat, and survive, after all, and who knows what the folks here might sell you out for if they knew the truth about you.At the end of the day, we want you, the player, to have fun and the freedom to tell your story your way.

Food and drinks are on the house at The Desert Rose, but tips for bartenders and hosts are appreciated.

Drink Specialities



The Desert Rose

Our signature cocktail, rose-infused tequila is shaken with prickly pear pureé, fresh squeezed lemon juice, and ice, then double strained and garnished with dried rose buds.

The Oasis

Looking for something cool and refreshing to beat the heat? Look no further than the Oasis! Vodka, blue curaçao and lemonade combine to give you what you need.

The Crown Jewel

Brandy, sweet vermouth, and a dash of bitters, garnished with a dark cherry and a slice of candied orange peel. Rich, sweet, delicate, and strong--just like Ul'Dah's own Sultana.

Thal's Respite

Gin, orange liqueur, dry vermouth, absinthe, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Guaranteed to bring you back to life...if it doesn't kill you first.

The Pearl Lane

Known as a favorite drink amongst merchants on Pearl Lane, a hearty bourbon from the streets of Ul dah is brought to life with cane sugar, a touch of orange bitters, and a splash of cherry cordial, with a single ice cube to cool you down on a hot summer's night.

Void Touched

Black vodka mixes with port wine and blood currant liqueur, shaken and strained into a black sugar rimmed glass and garnished with a black cherry and a haunting mist drifting off the top, warning you that this drink may be more than it appears.

The Gold Court

Gil in liquid form, rich Thanalan bourbon is mixed with a mystical golden cinnamon liqueur and apple brandy, shaken and straned into a gold sugar rimmed glass and garnished with actual gold flecks across the top. A drink fit for the Sultana herself.

Sweet Temptation

While it may look simple, this drink has been known as quite the aphrodisiac; but no one likes to kiss and tell. Honey, gin, sweet vermouth, and Kiki's special lavender syrup, are shaken and strained into a chilled glass and garnished with fresh lavender. It will taste sweet on your lips and warm you to your core... perhaps a bit too much.

Roneek Rose

A flour tortilla filled with queso and rooneek steak. Fried and seasoned to perfection and rolled up to fit into a rose-like shape. Pico de Gallo rests in the middle for dipping purposes. You can never have just one.

Shepherd's Pie

A tavern classic. Creamy mashed popotoes cover juicy chunks of ground roneek, carrots, and onions in a rich port wine gravy. Pairs perfectly with our Vylbrand Dark Ale and is sure to fill any traveler's belly.

Margherita Pizza

Cooked fresh in our brick oven, this pizza boasts a rich marinara (Kiki will kill someone before sharing her recipe), fresh mozzarella, a secret blend of spices, and a crispy crust. Perfect for sharing... unless you're REALLY hungry.

Tempura Platter

An array of Yanxian Tiger Prawns, Hornbill Tenderloin, and an array of vegetables imported from Hingashi, coated in a light batter and flash fried in light cottonseed oil, this Eastern treat is served with a generous helping of soy sauce and a side of Doma's famous sticky rice.



DESSERTS


Tonberry Pie

Kiki's worst nightmare. A blend of rolanberries, strawberries, and snurbleberries covered in a flaky, golden brown crust, this pie is served warm with whipped sweet cream. Whatever you do, don't let it near Kiki.

Lemon Curd Sachetorte

This decadent chocolate cake is balanced with just a hint of lemon for a true dessert indulgence. Layers of fudgy chocolate cake are sandwiched with lemonette curd, then covered with a chocolate glaze. This is served by the slice, and one slice alone will give you quite the sugar rush.

He recently disappeared for a time, only having reappeared in the last few sennights to work at a furious pace on building the Desert Rose with his partner, Kiki. Old and new faces alike to the establishment are met with a polite, friendly smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes anymore.

PHOTOGRAPHERS

Minisuka Blackwell

Position: Photographer, Host, Courtesan
RP Available: Yes
SFW: Yes
NSFW: Yes
Pronouns: She/Her, They/Them
Orientation: Pansexual (either gender is okay)

Minisuka is an Elpis creation created by a scientist that knew about Hermes’ experiments with Meteion. The alterations to her were different however. She was given special wings, fangs & eyes like that of the Miqo’te of the current age, an immunity to the effects of extreme temperature(s), and slightly more muscle than her stature suggests. That was all until they started adding alchemy into the equation. They gave her the wrong set of potions and it caused her death. The scientist sealed the body in a secret room behind their library only to hear what sounded like a small cat making sounds a few days later. They checked to find a small, fat cat in the room with the body nowhere to be found. Weeks beyond the scientist came home one day to find the female creation returned with no cat to be found, and Mini to have no memory of them or what happened. The scientist destroyed the notes of what combination of potions and testing caused this adverse effect to avoid an attempt at replication. It is assumed that this ability is why she still exists post sundering, similarly to how the ascians have survived with the added ‘bonus’ of amnesia in combination.
After the world was unsundered Mini was dropped on the Ninth shard. (the world of Alexandria) She learned the ways in which they consumed souls to stay alive via a small device that was attached to their head. With no memory of where she was from, she joined and was part of the work done by the “Preservation” and befriended Robor and Alaya. When she heard them planning to send something important through a portal to save it she snuck through before they closed the portal landing in the source. Mini made sure not to be seen and kept her device but hid it under various things like hats, bandanas used as "eye patches", etc.She became a nomad, never staying in one place to long due to her inability to age as everyone else did, learning the trade of a pirate and mercenary to survive and make money.

Several years ago, Ky’rann was found naked and unconscious by Kotu’a Mewrilah in The Black Shroud forest just outside of New Gridania. Even more unusual than his lack of attire was the ice-like substance he was covered in, a peculiar occurrence given the geographical location. With no recollection of how he ended up in such a state or any memory of his past life, Ky’ began, or re-began, his journey in Eorzea by joining Kotu’a’s night club business ventures, first as a stable hand and janitorial custodian and then eventually becoming a host. Despite the unsettling nature of his memory lapse, Ky’ is surprisingly unfazed. He’s accustomed to finding himself in unfamiliar places with fragmented memories, and this experience is just another chapter in his unpredictable journey. Adapting quickly to his new surroundings, Ky’ is more focused on fitting in and understanding his current situation than on the mystery of his past.

Traders' Dice (Deathrolls)

Each player places bets up to 10,00 gil per hand. All players each round have the choice of playing for OOC gil (resulting in real earnings), IC gil (just for fun, no one earns money), or for clothes (one article per match, until one person is naked).

RULES:

  1. Get pairs of participants (Much like Striple Triad)

  2. In each pair, determine if person A or B goes first by having both /random 999. Highest goes first.

  3. A /random 999. Note the result

  4. B does a /random <result> where result is the result from step 3

  5. A /random <result> where their result is from step 4

  6. Repeat until someone hits 1 and loses the match. Pay out as needed. Like with Striple Triad, this can be done until one person in the pair is naked, then they get dressed and move on to the next opponent
