Moonlit Mushroom

☙About❧

☙ Balmung, Empyreum ward 4, plot 11 ❧❦ Shop hours: TBD (currently open on request, will plan hours around availability of both staff and customers)
❦ Clinic hours: by appointment only
❦ No OOC gil; all transactions are ICA quaint little shop located in Ishgard, run by the alchemist, Dr. Cyrus Valerius, offering a variety of potions and alchemical supplies, as well as medical services. It is known to welcome all sorts of people, notably those in need of a doctor who won't ask too many questions.Gossip and rumors abound pertaining to the madness hidden beneath the surface, not only of the shop itself but the alchemist who owns it. Seemingly normal and upstanding, at a glance, but to those who look in further, one may find a haven for mad scientists and their experiments. Exiled scientists from Ul'dah's alchemist's guild, Sharlayan, and the like are welcomed with open arms - any such upstanding places of research have likely turned away many for delving too deep into the unknown - but here, forbidden knowledge is shared and celebrated.The apothecary holds events for like-minded scientists to put their creations on display, and to teach all who have an interest in science. All fields of research are welcome, from alchemy to engineering and everything in between.Seeking:
Fellow scientists to work with and make connections.
Patrons who wish to help fund our research. It is for the greater good!
Test subjects volunteers willing to assist in researchOOC note - about appointments:
Your character will not be experimented on or otherwise harmed without your OOC consent. Communication beforehand will be necessary to establish boundaries and what you want out of the rp (e.g., do you want treatment to work, or be ineffective, or go wrong; do you want this to be short-term or an ongoing plot, etc.) Before my character does anything to yours, I will send a tell asking if you're comfortable with it. That said, if mad science, experimental cures, and being treated more like a test subject than a patient aren't your cup of tea, you might want to find a more professional doctor.

☙OOC❧

Hi! Thank you for taking an interest and looking at this carrd! If this sounds like fun, if we've roped before and you'd like to rp with us more outside of venue openings, ask me about the discord server! (I would prefer some rapport to be established first.) We have a CWLS as well, being a cross-world and cross-data-center group rather than a fc.What to Expect:
❦ Social events and DMed plots regularly, but laid-back with no activity requirements - irl comes first!
❦ A mix of adventure, mystery, horror, and slice-of-life, with plots tailored to the characters involved
❦ Dark/mature themes and plots, but not without its moments of levity
❦ SCP-inspired weird science things to investigate and research
❦ OOC communication before and during rp; your character will not be harmed or experimented on without your consent OOC
❦ Most of us tend towards long-form paragraph/multi-paragraph posts
❦ This group is mostly geared towards scientists, researchers, and similar usually non-combatant sorts of characters. That said, adventurers and such are still welcome (especially those who are magically inclined or have been experimented upon)Rules:
❦ Both players and characters must be 18+, ideally 21+. No exceptions.
❦ Don't be a creep or a bigot.
❦ The usual stuff; no godmodding, griefing, or metagaming.
❦ Lore bending; not lore breaking. (e.g., no wols, npcs, or characters more powerful than the wol, characters from other worlds, etc.)
❦ Even if a room in the house is locked ic, you're welcome to look around ooc!
