about mocha & mug
Mocha & Mug was born out of a simple dream—Feina Lhilu’s wish for a quieter life. After years spent chasing adventure, she longed for something gentler, a place where people could gather not out of duty or danger, but to simply be together.What started as a small gathering spot within their free company's first cottage, quickly became something much bigger. Word spread, more friends dropped by, and soon there were more visitors than chairs to seat them. The little café had outgrown its corner.When the « Spark » free company eventually moved into a larger home, Feina took it as a sign for Mocha & Mug to grow, too. With the help of her fellow members, she rebuilt the café from the ground up in the new basement space, giving it room to breathe, to flourish, and to welcome even more travelers through its doors.Now nestled in the Black Shroud, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the Mocha & Mug café offers weary travelers and curious souls a place to breathe easy. Enjoy a warm drink, trade a few stories, and let the scent of coffee and baked sweets carry your worries away.

Kanran Hagane, 27 (she/her) «
Café Co-Owner & Supplier
When Kanran isn't being sent around the world for hired jobs, she likes to spend her down time keeping herself busy with less stressful activities. When Feina proposed opening a café, Kanran was more than happy to join in. Since she can't make much of anything other than simple teas, she instead opts to locally source coffee beans, tea leaves, and more with her own hands.

Szordrin Dekarios, 28 (he/him) «
Manager & Waiter
Scruffy, eye-patch wearing one that's always going on cigarette breaks.

Charolette Archambeau, 63 (she/her) «
Waitress
Charlie is a very outgoing, somewhat sassy lady who can get along with most anyone. She has an empathetic heart that is always on her sleeve. One would have an easy time becoming her friend. The viera is also very obsessed with fashion and design, so do not be alarmed if she begins telling you how to dress or making nerdy comments about how your jacket is stitched.

Koy Duckwhil, 30 (he/him) «
Waiter
"Hey Feina, for my bio you can just draw a big face with cool-guy sunglasses."

» Feina Lhilu, 23 (she/her)
Café Owner & Barista
After years of mercenary work and countless missions, Feina eventually found herself yearning for a different kind of stability—something gentler than battlefields, scars, and contracts. Drawing on her love for simple comforts, and the distant memories of laughter shared with her family, she opened up a small café within the home of her own free company, to which she fondly named Mocha & Mug. You can usually find her manning the bar, so don't be afraid to sit and strike up a conversation with her!

» Faust Selvik, 27 (he/him)
Manager & Waiter
Charming, witty, and endlessly diligent, Faust has a knack for putting guests at ease. Whether with a clever remark, a sly grin, or perfectly prepared drink, he ensures no one leaves without a smile... However, he is never seen in the same room as Feina. How curious.

» Riovanne DuClare, 39 (she/her)
Manager & Waitress
Riovanne "Rio" DuClare joined the part-time café staff out of love for her boon friends, the cozy coffee house atmosphere, and a strong cup of cold brew imported from her homeland of Ishgard. On her breaks, she usually likes to simply talk to customers and listen to any stories they're keen to tell.

» Leo Whitaker, 30s (he/him)
Waiter
Leo woke up one day in Thanalan with no memory of his past save for his name. He ended up wandering around until he reached Ul'dah where he was adopted by a mysterious man. Eventually, he would wander the star with his youngest brother. Assisting those in need in war torn countries and hoping to find clues to who he was. Once the wars had settled down, he figured he should get a less dangerous job. Relaxed and easygoing, he has a nonchalant way of going about his business and interacting with others.

OOC Rules
1. Be Respectful
Treat everyone kindly—guests, staff, and fellow roleplayers alike. No harassment, trolling, or disruptive behavior IC or OOC. Racism, sexism, threats of violence, homophobia, or any form of bigotry will result in an immediate bar from the venue. Please respect personal space IC and OOC. This is meant to be a cozy and safe environment. If someone is bothering you, let one of the staff members know.2. Keep It Immersive
RP is strongly encouraged in this venue, so please stay in-character while in the café! OOC chatter is fine, but please use /tell, party chat, or brackets (like this). Also, please refrain from spamming emotes or running around disruptively.3. No NSFW
This is a SFW venue. Lighthearted flirting and innuendo are fine, but keep it tasteful. ERP and explicit behavior are prohibited. We understand that mistells happen, so we will handle those on a case-by-case basis.4. Orders, Gil, & Service
Staff will RP taking your orders, but gil prices and payments are purely for flavor and not necessary, though you are welcome to give tips! Please be patient and don’t rush the servers as sometimes it may take a while to type out each response—keep in mind that they also may be juggling multiple guests!5. Have Fun!
The café is meant to be a cozy, welcoming place. Come to relax, make/bring friends, and enjoy the atmosphere. You're also more than welcome to sit and people-watch if that's more your speed!
IC Rules & Hooks
1. Books & Games
Our shelves, curated by none other than Kanran, are open to all. Borrow any tome or tale you wish, but please return it when you’re done! You can also find cards and board games among the stacks of books on the floor.2. The Phonograph
Please don’t mess with it. It’s hanging by a thread and older than the staff combined. If it breaks, we will be stuck singing sea shanties ourselves.3. The Dartboard
Yes, the darts are real again. No, the staff won't talk about why they were glued before. If you’d like to play, ask a barista for a dart set! ...Just be certain that no one’s sitting near the bar.4. The Yard Holes
Please watch your step when entering the café. Szordrin has a habit of digging holes around the grounds, and we cannot promise they are always easy to spot. Do try not to upset him... you may find yourself becoming his next excavation project.5. Our Rewards Program
Interested in our rewards program? Feeling like a regular already? Ask your barista for a punch card or grab one from the counter! Get a free drink and a mug charm on your 6th visit! One stamp per visit.6. The Café Whiteboard
A whiteboard sits by the staircase leading to the cafe, open to patrons to share messages or doodles. Feel free to leave a mark of your own, but please don’t erase or vandalize what others have added, and remember: no bounty postings or inappropriate drawings.
