About The Letter. . .
These rules will, in some way, shape, or form, have been listed on the ic letter that your character has been presented with.
As for how your character got this letter, that is up to you! The knowledge of this establishment is earned through activity in criminal circles.
Whether that's by. . . .
socializing with other crime families and organizations,
or being a reputable criminal in the underworld,
or being recommended to visit by another criminal community,
you are free to decide how your character ended up here. They advertise by word of mouth and invitation.
About The Speakeasy. . .
Q: Why do you have so many rules? This seems like too much trouble.
A: The Speakeasy is modeled after how venues operated during the Stormblood and early Shadowbringers times. The RP is serious, detailed, very lore heavy, and novella to literate writing. These rules have been placed to shape the venue accordingly.
Q: Do you sell your Staff's time/Can I hire my favorite staff member for 1-on-1 in a private room?
A: No. We do not offer ERP services here, and we do not sell Staff. Even in a SFW setting, we do not sell Staff's time as that is mildly erotic in nature. We do not subscribe to any type of erotic themes whatsoever.
Q: Why is there a dress code? It's out of character for my character to wear a fancy outfit.
A: I'm sorry to hear that. The Black Diamond Speakeasy has a dress code because there is a standard for behavior and mannerisms on Speakeasy grounds. This is a lounge to network, make connections, and get your name out there. If you dress to the nines, people are wont to look and listen.Q: Is there a sync?
A: Yes, we provide Lightless. It's on our discord. (YOUR VANILLA MUST TRANSLATE TO YOUR MODS. IF YOUR MODS ARE TOO DIFFERENT FROM YOUR VANILLA, YOU WILL BE ASKED TO CHANGE. ADDITIONALLY, YOUR TRIS AND MB MUST BE <=200K AND <=200MB RESPECTIVELY. You will be asked to compress, decimate, and remove sculpts/modded outfits if you are >=200k tris.)

Rules of the Speakeasy. . .
| IC BEHAVIOR RULES |
|---|
| Ⅰ. Behave yourself. If you wish to misbehave, prepare yourself for the consequences. At least you'll be providing entertainment to others if you misbehave. |
| Ⅱ. Drugs are not to be consumed on the premises. You can broker sales, though. |
| Ⅲ. While we encourage the consumption of alcohol, we do not expect you to lose sobriety. Please sober up should you find yourself slipping. |
| Ⅳ. Cigars and cigarettes are permitted on the premises. It would be a tragedy if we did not allow our scotch to be paired with a cigar. |
| Ⅴ. If you pull out a weapon, expect several to be pointed at you in return--from staff and patrons alike. Do be careful of the decor and furniture, but feel free to skirmish to your hearts content. We'll bill you for damage to the premises. |
| APPERANCE RULES | |
|---|---|
| Ⅵ. The Black Diamond Speakeasy has a dress code. We do not erase culture, but we do expect you to be dressed to the nines. | ((Some other terms to fit the dress code: Old Money, Film Noir, 1920s Gangster, Mafia Speakeasy, Vintage Luxury, Jazz Age, Opulent Decay, Criminal Lounge, Underworld Baroque. No adventuring gear, no solution nine attire.)) |
| Ⅶ. Accentuate what you like, but cover your modesty | ((We will ban characters that show up with their private parts on display. We will also ask you to change outfits if the modded outfit is too skimpy and reveals too much skin.)) |
| Ⅷ. While The Black Diamond Speakeasy does not condone prejudice, we have a certain image to uphold. |
| Explanation on rule 8 | ((Characters with outlandish proportions that do not look like they belong to FFXIV are not welcome. Characters that break lore and immersion are not welcome. |
| What we consider lore friendly | Characters that use "smol or toll" to lengthen their heights WITHIN REASON. We have a height limit of 8ft tall. Any characters over that are unfortunately lore breaking. | Characters that use Customize+ to add some chubbiness/real weight to the models. (NOT a fetish.) | We promote body positivity and diversity. |
| What we consider lore breaking | Exaggerated proportions (using C+) that are fetishized. | Characters that are sized outside of their race's lore. (over 8ft tall characters in general; tall races that are comically short.) | Modded character models that are severely different from their vanilla form. (I.E: a blond Elezen vanilla, but a blue-haired Viera modded.) | Modded character models that do not translate well to their vanilla state.)) |
ⅠⅩ. We do not accept Lore-Breaking characters. This is a LORE-ABIDING ESTABLISHMENT. If your character is not lore friendly or on the further end of lore-bending, we ask that you find another establishment. Unfortunately, Sineaters and Shard-hoppers will have to find another establishment to attend. I apologize to our otherworldly friends, but Shardhopping characters do not fit into The Black Diamond Speakeasy's lore.
Your character's vanilla state MUST translate to mods. Not everyone will see your modded appearance, but everyone will see your vanilla apperance. Please make sure your mods translate well enough to vanilla.
| OOC BEHAVIOR RULES |
|---|
| Ⅹ: NO MODERN TECHNOLOGY. Due to the nature of this establishment, we unfortunately do not allow modern technology or Solution 9 technology into the establishment. For allowed technology, think Skysteel Manufactory in Ishgard, or the Alchemist's guild in Ul'dah. Magitek is also permitted. |
| Ⅺ: NO MODERN LINGO. With the above said, we do not allow modern lingo or products in the establishment. Anything that originates from Solution 9 in terms of modern-day lingo or products will not be tolerated within the Speakeasy. |
| Ⅻ: DO NOT DISCUSS 3RD PARTY TOOLS IN GAME. We ask that all patrons do not discuss mods, plugins, or any manner of 3rd party involvement in game. Rule 1 of fight club. Don't mention fight club. |
| ⅫⅠ: WE DO NOT ENCOURAGE DRAMA. The Speakeasy is not for starting OOC fights or drama. (While we encourage IC crime, we do not encourage OOC issues.) To facilitate the enforcement of this rule, several additional rules have been added below. |
| ⅪⅤ: GIVE RESPECT, EVEN TO STRANGERS AND ENEMIES. Respect is not something you earn here. Just give it automatically. We are a community of adults and I expect everyone to act like it. Many balance work, study, and life outside the game. Drama, harassment, or instigating conflict will not be tolerated. If there is someone you have a problem with, it is not an excuse to start a fight with them or to speak brashly and rudely. Be respectful. |
| ⅩⅤ: NOT GETTING ALONG AND BEING PROFESSIONAL IS STILL DOABLE. It is human nature not to get along with every single person you meet. We are very biased creatures and that is alright. I expect that you are able to keep your biases to yourself and that you are able to be amicable and reasonable in shared spaces. Aggression is not tolerated. You should be able to communicate respectfully. |
| XVI: MUN =/= MUSE. Characters may embody rude behavior, cruelty, violence, or madness, but players do not. If you cannot separate IC conflict from OOC interactions, then you should speak with the OOC mun of the character and communicate your discomfort with them, so that a solution can be found. This is a hobby, not a job. You should feel comfortable writing here and people will work with you to reach a healthy conclusion. We value healthy boundaries between fiction and reality. |
| XVII: CHARACTER'S WORDS ARE NOT MUN'S WORDS. If a character says something IN CHARACTER, that is not a reflection of the OUT OF CHARACTER WRITER. If you feel uncomfortable with something that an IC RP-Tag character has said to yours, then talk to the mun RESPECTFULLY about it. Open communication. This is a hobby, not a job, so you should talk to the person you’re RPing with because your comfort is also important. |
| XVIII: CLARIFY TONE OOCLY. If you are uncomfortable with an uncertain tone that is being portrayed in text, ask the out of character writer to clarify what tone is being portrayed. Tone over text is not easy to read, and that is why tone tags exist for when people are chatting oocly. It is, unfortunately, not proper etiquette to use tone tags during roleplay, so please ask about tone in /tells or DMs before assuming. You can’t ever know what is going on in another person’s head. |
| XIX: RP IS A HOBBY, NOT A JOB. RP should be fun, not a chore. We are all adults pursuing something we enjoy in our free time from work, education, or other real-life commitments. These rules have been put in place to facilitate a comfortable OOC environment for all writers involved, because no one likes drama and the high-stress emotions that come from it. We are hoping to avoid the stress that comes from conflict. While conflict is inevitable, these rules are put in place to help folks navigate it amicably. |
| XX: RIGHTS RESERVED. The Black Diamond Speakeasy reserves the right to ask any patron to leave the establishment for any reason. If you are asked to leave, please do so maturely. |
| WHO TO CONTACT WITH CONCERNS? If there is any problem, concern, or issue that you wish to bring up, you may bring it up to @junko.enoshima directly in private. Please be mature about it and don't publicize issues that do not further need to be publicized. |
Now that you have read through all of the rules, you're finally able to obtain the passphrase to be let into the venue. The passphrase is "Red Sundews In Bloom."(Examples: "I'd like to purchase some red sundews in bloom." "I heard you've got some blooming red sundews in season." "I'm interested in purchasing some seeds to grow my own red blooming sundews." "I'm interested in a bouquet of red droseras in bloom." Among plenty more. Drosera is the scientific name for Cape Sundews, so Drosera will be acceptable as well.)

▬ OUR NEXT OPENING: JULY 26TH, 2026
▬ We were previously located on Balmung, but now we have officially moved to Cuchulainn on Dynamis! These used to be reminders to get onto Balmung, but now, these are reminders about attire and Syncs.● While we offer mod syncing, you should prioritize your vanilla. Frankly vanilla is more important than your mods. EVERYONE will see your vanilla. Not everyone will see your mods. If your vanilla is questionable but your mods are fine, you will still be asked to change your attire.
● Our limits for syncs are <=200ktris and <200mb. You will be asked to compress and decimate if you break the limits. If, after decimating, you're still over 200ktris, you will be asked to remove modded clothing, sculpts, and other triangle-increasing items.
● We understand that it is a lot to ask for. We thank you for your interest and understanding, and we are so excited to see you in our halls!

▬ ♦ Greeters
▬ ♦ Bartenders
▬ Varinia Junius
▬ Flexible: Performer, Security ▬
Varinia's demeanor comes in two parts: a more stern and professional exterior, militant in how she conducts herself and speaks, and a much more amiable and talkative interior, passionate about her interests and genuinely caring for all others. No matter which side you are beholding, she remains polite and efficient in taking care of orders. Her bartending skills are well practiced from over a turn of experience so without a doubt, any food or drink prepared by her will sate any tastes. Hoping to chat? Mention any kind of artform be it written, painted, or performed, and she'll be more than eager to converse.More About Varinia: variniajunius.carrd.co
▬ Ahtzarael Ryssahctwyn
▬ Flexible: Host ▬
Glittering, glamorous, and genial, Ahtzarael works as a bartender at the Black Diamond. She is messy and excitable, with passable mixology skills largely supplemented by pure enthusiasm. When not behind the bar, she works to perfect her expertise as a safecracker, and prides herself on her ability to foil many supposedly impassable doors and vaults. She also enjoys tinkering, especially with the small, meticulous sort of work found in tinier devices and chronometers, and she handles repairs of such machines at a jewelry store in Ul'dah, the Golden Goddess Gemworks.More About Ahtzarael: ahtz.carrd.co
▬ ♦ Hosts
▬ L'pura Pyre
▬ Flexible: Bartender ▬
L'pura has a voice that drips like honey, a Gyr Abanian belle with Turali roots and an accent to match. When she's not all dolled up for the job, she's a lover of the hunt, her name found commonly among trusted bounty hunters - even for the dirtier, darker jobs. Despite dabbling in wetworks from time to time, she enjoys reading, horse-riding, sunsets, learning languages, and whiskey, favouring an Old Fashioned. Usually one can find her in Thanalan and Ul'Dah, but she roams frequently and seems to have worldly knowledge.More About L'pura: the-eclipsed-sun.carrd.co
▬ Alastor Dominique
▬ Flexible: Performer ▬
A renowned but controversial radio host from Garlemald, this eccentric individual always greets you with a smile and a healthy dose of whimsy! Alastor is a versatile entertainer, able to perform in anything from talk to music to dancing, and brings the music of his people with him here to the Speakeasy. What he's truly doing here is only for him to know- but why not ask him to do a song, or see what he's truly after?Wait, doesn't he look... familiar? Why of course! Everyone remembers him from his radio show! :)More About Alastor: canticumcervorum.carrd.co
▬ Aurelia Valentine
▬ Flexible: Greeter ▬
Valentine— or Val, as she is more commonly known— prides herself on her charm above all else. Easygoing and quick to joke, she has a tendency to treat every stranger as a friend she's known all of her life. A keener eye might recognize that such a personality is best suited to a defense, but it is just as much her offense. A sky pirate by trade, Val's her old crew's prized distraction. One to talk her way out of any situation, though often the one to have talked her way into it in the first place.More About Val: lynxflush.crd.co
▬ Calie Dardenne
▬ Flexible: Bartender ▬
Calie is stubborn, blunt, and finds no qualms in voicing out her opinions, be they good or not. The type to walk into a room already making guesses on who's the liar, who's lonely, and who's about to start a fight. She isn't the type to pry nor is she the type to seek for conversations herself, but talk to her about maps or ruins and mechanical projects, and she will talk your ear off for hours. If you find yourself with a ruined device, bring it to her and you can be sure she'll somehow find a way to fix it. Just don't blame her when it's returned with some "improvements" included.More About Calie: skyslayer.carrd.co
▬ ♦ Security
▬ Smari Leithe
Smari is a reserved, practical, and traditional Keeper. She takes her role quite seriously, though not out of devotion, but pride. She's a sharpened hunter who's not afraid to get her claws dirtied, eager for it, in fact. Peaceful evenings often leave her to brood and observe from some darkened corner, or to leave her sanity to the mirthful whims of her comrade. Hailing from the Shroud, her private life remains as such: private. Smari is most notably found as the latter part of an oddly unbalanced pair, but she is sure to always land on her feet.More About Smari: currently under construction
▬ Thistle Cadell
Thistle is outgoing, aloof, and is left challenging the traditions left by her elders. Her work ethic may be strained at times, but her loyalty can always be weighed in coin. She's a vicious hunter, thus it isn't uncommon for her to be seeking out a chance to brandish her fangs. There are no such things as peaceful evenings, not when her rightful companion is around for her to pester. Despite hailing from the Shroud, she is relatively open about her role as a leader amidst her band of huntresses. As for other business ventures.. That remains beneath a whisper. Thistle is never far from her other half. After all, what would she do without her?More About Thistle: currently under construction
▬ Nasrin'to Yaldazai
Claiming to hail from Thavnair, this miqo'te is adept in many tongues and enjoys using his to its fullest extent. Reliable and a man of his own sort of honor, he completes his given work with a respectable amount due diligence, but that isn't say that he is all work and no play. Nasrin'to is a rather greedy and selfish man, seeking coin only to suit his rather particular interests. He has been called a rather "spoiled cat" by one employer, and nothing could be more true. Decorating himself in jewelry and entertaining himself with whatever juicy gossip he can find, the man is rather lax and almost indulgent when it comes to enjoying his time unsupervised. The quickest way to garner his attention is with good conversation and even better drinks, bonuses for an already paid tab.More About Nasrin'to: yaldazai.carrd.co
▬ Decius Vendelin
Vendelin is a man who keeps entirely to himself. Quiet, cold and hardly one for conversation. He is not one to hold his tongue when he dares to speak. Remaining guarded and unmoving, especially when he is on the payroll. He is far from your family's typical loyal lapdog, being here only to fulfill his own means. Any bit of his alternative business or life outside of the speakeasy is left entirely private.More About Decius: vendelin.carrd.co
▬ ♦ Managers
▬ Guinivere Bern
Guinivere is flamboyant, feisty, fashionable, and loud. She's the proudest voice in the room and will do anything and everything for the latest trends and outfits. She's an incredible businesswoman, cutthroat and ambitious, and the type of girl to spend three hours reading through the fine print that anyone else will skip directly over.When she's on the premises, she's fluttering about like a social butterfly. This Ul'dahn belle likes to be the life of the party and tries her best to be.More About Guinivere: knave.crd.co/#guinivere
▬ Ren Aihara
Ren is a relatively passive, laid back, and unassuming individual. Soft-spoken and even more mildly mannered, Ren is the side character to the actual main character: Peony. Peony is Ren's familiar in the form of a fairy, but don't let her small size fool you. She has a larger than life personality, is incredibly narcissistic, and is very outgoing as a stark contrast to her introverted host.Peony isn't afraid to ask the questions she wants to ask or jump in with statements she wants to make. However, she doesn't speak common--so her words simply sound like jingling bells to everyone else. Ren translates for her quite often.More About Peony (And Ren): knave.crd.co/#ren
▬ Our Statement On RP Gil & Real Gil. . .
While we pay our staff real gil, you do not have to pay real gil at the bar.If you wish to pay the gil prices on the menu through real trading, you are welcome to pay those and you will receive an item in turn. This helps support the wages that we pay staff. THIS IS NOT MANDATORY.You are more than welcome to order at the bar using irp gil without doing a real trade transaction. You will just not receive an item via trade and only will receive your order irp.I hope this disclosure helps to settle any worries or grievances people have. We do not want to alienate anyone from visiting the venue and participating in the festivities. If you are personally uncomfortable with purchasing RP items with gil, then you do not have to use gil. You can still interact with the bar for immersion and realism without having to use gil.We want all of our patrons, both those who will use real gil and those who will use irp gil, to be comfortable. We want to provide a safe and welcoming environment, and we hope that this option pleases all sides of the community and allows everyone to participate without feeling alienated or isolated due to their comforts. We value the comfort of both our clientele and our staff.
BEVERAGE MENU
| ALCOHOLIC | In-game Item | Price | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond Royale | Lohmani red with a shard of crystallized syrup in the glass, mimicking a diamond. Goes down smooth and easy, and leaves you wishing for more. | Sweet Maple Mate | 850gil |
| Bloody Kiss | A savory Three-barrels Bourbon cocktail with a rich vegetable juice base. It has a spicy yet sweet kick to it, and it comes accompanied with a fresh celery stalk. | Blood Tomato Juice | 1000gil |
| Sunset On The Sands | A cocktail featuring Ishgardian Brandy, this layered gold-to-scarlet drink catches eyes with the glitter that sparkles on the top. Sweet changes to tart and finishes off with a kick of bitter. | Happiness Juice | 1000gil |
| Tragedy | Dark, smokey, and hits hard; this Moonrise ale finished with a bit of cinnamon and salt is a strong drink of choice for those that like their beverages to hit as a hard as a train. | Cinnamon Cream Coffee | 850gil |
| Old-Fashioned | Blackbelly Whiskey stirred with brown sugar, bitters, and flamed orange peel. Served with a single sphere of ice. Cold, clean, and simple. | Pineapple Orange Jelly | 1250gil |
| Silence | Hinganshi sake, lightly sweetened. Served hot or cold at request; the hot sake has more of a mild sweetness to it. The chilled sake's sweetness is drowned out by the temperature leaving only a clean finish. | Chamomile Tea | 1000gil |
| Thanalan's Sands | A dry, stout, and earthen Mun-Tuy brew. It's hard to beat a dry beer; goes good with everything and especially meat. | Mesquite Juice | 700gil |
| Sultan's Debt | A smokey Radz-at-Han rum with a bit of sea salt to garnish. It goes down easy, but the burn is overwhelmingly addictive and beckons you for just one more glass. | Creamy Hot Chocolate | 1000gil |
| Fake Oasis | A spiced cider, steeped with clove and blood orange rinds, seasoned with Radz-at-Han spices for a rich blast of smokey flavor. It looks like a sweet, refreshing cocktail, but is instead strong, earthy, and savory. | Crimson Cider | 1000gil |
| Desert Oasis | The true relief from the heat; a chilled five-year grand mead infused with fruits and aged to perfection. Light, refreshing, mildly fruity, and a relief from the heat. | Melon Juice | 850gil |

| Straight Liquor | A glass or shot of straight liquor, whether that's a regular glass of rum or a shot of their finest whiskey, this is what you can order if you want something straight. The default is neat, but you can request it on the rocks. | Apple Juice | Glass: 650gil Shot: 400gil |
| SOFT DRINKS | In-game Item | Price | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mirage | A shimmering gradient of chilled melon juice and melon infused water, with shaken mint distributed without the glass--all topped with freshly cracked sea salt. A sweet, refreshing treat to escape the desert heat. | Melon Juice | 500gil |
| Ruby Road Rose | Pomegranate juice paired with steeped sparkling rose water, both poured over cubed ice with edible rose petals in the glass. Elegantly tart, and could almost be mistaken for a red wine... almost. Shame the glass is different. | Happiness Juice | 500gil |
| Water and Gold Below | Ice weighs down and holds lemon slices in place that line the glass like a barrier, and a refreshing lime beverage is poured over the ice. It is mildly sweet with an addictive bitter kick to it. And, to top it all off, the lip of the glass is covered in salt and a lemon wedge to garnish. The lemon sure is an ade to the lime! | Melon Juice | 500gil |
| Blood On The Sands | The non-alcoholic version of Bloody Kiss; comes in a large glass with a fresh stalk of celery. Spicy and zesty with an optional snack. Spilling someone's blood on the sand has never tasted so good before, or crunchy for that matter. | Blood Tomato Juice | 500gil |
| Merchant's Treat | A blend of black tea and plant based milk is poured over ice, dashed with a bit of sweetness to take the edge off of the bitter black tea. Sweetness can be adjusted as requested. It almost feels like it's missing something... | Bubble Tea | 500gil |
| The Classic | Black coffee drip-poured from freshly-ground kukkuru beans. The aroma of it is divine, and the taste even moreso. Optionally comes with cream, sugar, or milk, all to your preferences. | Triple Cream Coffee | 450gil |
| Finest Simplicity | The bar's most customizable item: flavored iced tea. The bar seems to have a variety of natural fruit syrups and jams that can be vigorously shaken to craft a fruity iced tea, poured over ice and garnished with a lemon wedge. If you have a fruit in mind, the bar has it. It seems peach is the most popular. | Peach Juice | 350gil |
| House Tea | The second-most customizable item in the bar: hot teas or cold teas, all natural. Chamomile, lavender, matcha, chai... you name it, the bar probably has it. After all, Ul'dah does love it's mulled tea. | Chamomile Tea | 350gil |
| Pick-Me-Up | A creamy, sweet drink crafted from plant based milk, cocoa powder, vanilla flavoring, and marshmallows on top. Decadent, smooth, and soul-warming. A real sweet tooth's dreamland, or for those lacking a sweet tooth that want to get their moon's worth of chocolate in one night. | Creamy Hot Chocolate | 550gil |
| House Water | Ul’dahn mineral water infused with cucumbers. The most refreshing water you've ever had, and tasty too! (All individuals that order this, whether you're paying with real gil or irp gil, will be traded a real item! We recommend you eat it for immersion, but you can hold onto it as a keepsake too.) | Pineapple Juice | Free |

| Gaoltime | Soft, springy spongecake, layered between fluffy whipped cream and fresh, ripe strawberries: this strawberry shortcake is worth the gaol time sentenced to you for the crime you committed to get your hands on this. | Tender Shortcake | Slice: 850 Whole Cake: 2500 |
About The Rumor Board. . .
The Rumor board is a mechanic we use within the venue to generate gossip and rumormongering. Our social staff will capitalize on rumors submitted to us as hooks for conversations and to get your character's name out there.
