The Lotus presents...
On the rim of the Goblet there is a place where beauty, excitement, and danger bloom wild. An estate where temptation and delight are at home. And a garden where simple pleasures are doled out to complicated people of all stripes and social strata, away from the watchful eyes of a judgmental public. Where deals are made, connections formed, and fantasies play out on stage.Words cannot faithfully describe its goings on. You have to see it for yourselves. They call it Wysteria. You'll call it paradise or damnation. Sometimes, it's hard to tell the difference.Wysteria is a RP Heavy Speakeasy with a fully staffed bar and exotic dancing. We deal with mature themes and criminal elements, as well as RP that delves into the NSFW realm. Please read all of our rules and follow them. We'd love to have you join us for some RP! Thank you for taking the time to check us out!

The venue at all times is 18+. This extends to both writers/the characters they play. Club Wysteria is a NSFW environment with criminal undertones and can deal in themes that can be considered sexual, darker and/or potentially triggering to some, and definitely not appropriate for anyone underage.
We prefer a lack of bleed between IC/OOC in our joint writing adventures. Everyone is here for a good time, not for excess drama and obnoxious shenanigans.
Hate-speech, bigotry, harassment, and everything that can or could fall under those categories aren't tolerated. We are inclusive of all types of humans here and being crappy to them won't fly. Keep your shit-talk IC, because the only card-carrying bully we have on the premises is Xyphris.
Staff will have the Looking to Meld tag on. Staff are also more than welcome to tell you to get out, management or not.
Do not be fucking weird to our staff. Yes. We know this is an 18+-type venue. See Harper over there to your left? And everyone else? They're gorgeous/pretty/handsome/whatevertheFUCK, but that does not entitle you to make a single soul in the place uncomfortable. This is not a brothel. Do not make unwanted advances toward people, IC or OOC. Consent is key and you'll respect it or you will leave. Not asked to leave, demanded.
Do not be weird to your fellow patrons. See the above rule? That goes for your fellow Wysteria enjoyers as well. Thanks.
Do not spam your obnoxious loud/lightshow crimes. Yeah, they can be turned off. Some people trust their fellow roleplayer not to be dicks and don't however, so they can experience everyone as they prefer to be seen. Don't be one of the dicks. You will get kicked out of the shell faster than you can ask if anyone heard the ocean.
Failure to comply with these rules may result in you being asked to leave or you'll just be outright banned. I didn't stutter.

SEDA DHEN
Bisexual, female lean | carrd.
Saying Seda's new to this is like saying water's crispy and the sky is filled with grilled cheese. Seda's been working in the entertainment business for as long as anyone who knows him can remember, whether it's been as the performer or managing the scene. The number of venues under his belt are vast, even if he'd rather talk a lot less about some of them.Entertainment is in his blood, and if you take him away from the neon lights and the loud music, he just might cause a scene.And this time, he just so happens to be in charge of the scene.
TRISTAN SOLIANTEAUX
Pansexual, no preference | carrd.
Smuggler and drug runner. He's the man to talk to to get your contraband moved. Don't let his jovial personality and disarming smile fool you-- his heart is that of a killer, not merely a pirate, but a reaver.


HARPER DELACROIX
Pansexual | carrd.
As Wysteria's Entertainment Director, Harper plays a pivotal part in setting the mood of the club. From wrangling our tremendous troupe of exotic dancers, to ensuring that our clientele are comfortable and enjoying themselves, it can be a lot of work. But it's work that Harps pours her heart into and loves to do.If there are any questions about our dancers, Harper should be your point of contact. If you'd like to join our dance troupe, she's the one who can make that dream a reality. Don't be shy, she isn't.It's also known that Harper is a private lender, for those who may find themselves in need of coin with nowhere else to turn.

DAELLARYN ZARAM
Omnisexual, Xy leaning | carrd.
With a sharp eye for detail and a smoother hand for mixing cocktails, Dae serves as the heartbeat behind the bar where secrets flow as freely as the spirits. Equal parts chemist and charmer, he brings a unique edge to the role, blending classic mixology with a deeper knowledge of alchemical substances, some medicinal, others... less so.Outside of crafting bespoke drinks, Dae is known to operate quietly in the margins, offering specialized concoctions for select clientele and trading in valuable information gleaned from tipsy tongues. Their dual role as a poison crafter and info broker is an open secret among those who matter and a well-kept one from those who don't. Loyalty is for sale, but discretion is always on the house.
RELI ZEDDICUS
Straight | carrd.
7’ of bad decisions wrapped in a tailored coat. Reli’s your go-to when something needs fixing—whether it’s broken plumbing, a busted nose, or a deal gone sideways. Trained to kill and twice as charming, he keeps the club running smooth beneath the chaos. Alchemist by trade, dealer by choice—if you’re looking for something to take the edge off, he probably made it himself.He’s rough around the edges, blunt to a fault, but fiercely protective of the staff and dancers. Cross them, and you’ll be lucky to limp away. Catch him in the right mood, though… and you might just see him on stage, stealing the spotlight like he was born under it.

A TEST OF YOUR LITERACY!MSS-YSP4ZEBT4CJA
atwistedkindofhome
First off, thanks for showing interest in becoming a part of the Wysteria family! Wysteria is an RP-Heavy guild with criminal themes. We take the storytelling seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. Ultimately, we're here to have fun and provide a safe and inclusive environment for like-minded role players to tell their stories and find community. We hope to welcome you to that community!The venue itself is called Club Wysteria, just like the guild. Club Wysteria is a speakeasy with adult themes. It's owned by an mysterious organization called The Crimson Lotus, or just The Lotus for short. Not every member of Wysteria is part of The Lotus, but a number of members are within their ranks at one level or the other. They're always watching the comings and goings at Club C.The reason I'm referring to Wysteria as a guild and not a Free Company is because not every member of Wysteria is part of the FC proper, many aren't even on Balmung. Membership in the FC is not required to become part of our guild, though everyone in the guild is welcome to join the FC if they wish. If you want to join the FC and have your character on Balmung, just talk to one of the officers of the guild to add you.With all of that out of the way, let's focus on the role of Dancers at Club Wysteria. What's expected of you IC and OOC, what our rules are, and what you'll be doing both during the events and outside of them:♥ It's important to point out that while the theme of the venue is a speakeasy with a strip club as its cover, we are not a brothel and do not offer ERP services during our events. Dancers will be expected to stage dance for the clientele as well as be outgoing and personable. We'd prefer you to use the Say chat for interactions with the clientele and other staff. While we don't expect you to write out every single sway and gyration, we also aren't looking for people who stand around with their dance emotes running while they watch silently. This is an RP venue. We'd like you to RP.♥ Lap dancing is permitted, and in those situations you are free to use the Tell or Party chats to carry that out if you wish. There will be no charging OOC gil for any of the dancing you do here, though you're free to accept tips and keep that gil for yourself. IC gil can be negotiated for lap dancing. IC gil is story currency, not actual in-game currency. OOC gil is what we call that in-game currency.♥ If your character is a sex worker, prostitute, courtesan, escort, whore, or whatever you want to call it, you are free to use the venue and the events to make contacts for further business. We expect you to conduct that business on your own time and not during our events. If you do, we'll part ways with your character. Easy as that.♥ All Dancers Must Be At Least Twenty-One (21) Years Old IC & OOC! No Exceptions! By becoming a dancer at Club Wysteria you are stating to us that this is the case. If it's discovered that you weren't being honest about that, we'll part ways with you and your character.♥ Wysteria uses a Syncshell to share character appearances with fellow staff any our clientele. It's not mandatory to be a part of the Syncshell, but it is highly encouraged. This helps with the immersion for everyone involved. If you need help setting everything up, that help can be easily provided to you.♥ Club Wysteria is a strip club. Dancers Must be comfortable with this OOC. There will be nudity within the venue. Dancers are expected to be comfortable with their characters at least being topless (pasties are fine). If this is an issue for you, this might not be the role for you here in the guild.♥ When it comes to dancer attire, we ask that your vanilla character model be dressed in a way that represents their job, regardless of what outfits they might be wearing in the syncshell. It doesn't have to be picture perfect, but dancers should be recognized as dancers, even when the syncshell isn't working. If you need help acquiring glamour items to carry this out, please talk to one of the officers or your fellow guildmates. They are likely to help you when they have the time to do so.♥ When it comes to modded outfits for your dancer, help finding those is as easy as asking for it. There are plenty of folks here who can and will help you find the sort of clothing you'll need for work. We will not buy your outfits, though. The same goes for modded dance emotes or the game shop emotes needed to make them work. But we have an extensive collection of modded dances and might be able to help there, once you've unlocked your in-game dance emotes.♥ As a dancer, your character will be working directly for Harper (That's me!) in-character. While out of character you're more than free to contact any of our officers for OOC concerns and questions, please direct all IC concerns and questions to Harper. If the matter is HR (Human Resources) related, the matter can be brought directly to Lilah as well, though I'd appreciate an IC heads up about the situation.♥ It's important to keep in mind that we take consent very seriously here. No one should be forcing you to do anything you're not comfortable with OOC, nor should your character have to do that while carrying out their dancer duties IC. If you find your character in a situation that requires immediate help, please use the provided IC Linkshell to contact Harper or and/or the nearest security worker/manager. The situation will be promptly dealt with. Don't just sit on it. While you might be fine dealing with a little drama, other dancers might not be welcome to it.♥ You are not required to show up to every single event we hold. Real Life Comes First Always. That being said, if you are repeatedly absent without warning or explanation, we are likely to move you from IC status to OOC status within the guild. Even then, you'll be free to return to IC status once you're able to become more reliable again.Wysteria will have RP outside of the events. We never close our doors to guests or members who want to use our venue and our setting for RP. You are not required to take part in these RP sessions, but we invite and encourage you to join us whenever you're feeling up to it. That also goes for our periodic Staff Nights and our crime-focused DMed events. We're a community who enjoys writing together and we're looking to always add to our ranks.Welcome to Wysteria!

If you've actually read through all of this, you're my new favorite. But I'm still going to post a tl;dr for the folks with focus issues (like me).TL;DR:♥ Wysteria is an RP-Heavy guild where FC membership is not required to take part.♥ We like to have fun writing together and we'd love to have you join the family.♥ You don't have to be in the FC to do that, but if you want to, we can hook that up.♥ This isn't a brothel. No ERP during the events, pretty please. Use Say chat for RP, most of the time. Unless your character's giving a lap dance, then you can use Tell or Party chat. Even then, keep it classy.♥ Don't just Beesknees and forget it. We'd like you to actually engage with the guests and other staff during our events. RP-Heavy.♥ If your character is a sex worker, you can set up business for later, but finish the event first please.♥ You must be 21 or older IC and OOC, no exceptions.♥ Use the syncshell if you can, pretty please.♥ This is a strip club IC, be comfortable with nudity.♥ Have your character in outfits that make sense for the work, both modded and vanilla.♥ If you need help finding modded outfits and dances, come to us. But understand we're not buying you anything.♥ Your character will work directly for Harper IC, so ask her about IC stuff. But you can ask any of the officers about OOC concerns.♥ Consent is vital, IC or OOC. If there's a problem, tell someone about it. OOC that can be an officer of the guild. IC that can be Harper or the nearest security person or manager.♥ Real life comes first. But try to be reliable. If you need a break, let us know before you take it. We won't toss you for taking time off.♥ We RP outside of the events. You're free to join us, but you're not required to. We have fun, though.Welcome to the family!
