Lobster & Pumpkin Gnocchi

Colder weather means it's soup season, and what better way to celebrate than with a warm and silky lobster and pumpkin gnocchi? Pumpkin-shaped pumpkin gnocchi sing in a lovingly seasoned lobster and pumpkin bisque, with meaty bits of lobster and garnished with juuuust a little bit of parsley.
_{No Clawsons were hurt to provide this meal. ... No Clawsons we knew, anyway.}

Carrageen Pudding Palette

While the idea of algae in a pudding may be offputting, carrageen has none of the briney taste you'd expect. Instead, what results is a collection of gummy-like pudding bites served on an artist's palette that, much like a fresh canvas, are perfectly suited to take on whatever flavor you give them.
_{The current palette is: maple bourbon; black cocoa espresso; creme de coconut; rolanberry; pumpkin pie; lemon curd; matcha; blue curacao; lavender}

• Drinks

  Tension  
Made with the Still & String's Odin's Full Moon, the metaphor might be a little heavy handed - but as they say, heavy is the hand that wields the cursed sword. Or something. Moonshine mixed with limoncello and blue curacao, this drink starts off blue until the thinly-frozen cube of orange juice starts to melt, turning the drink a foggy green - while managing not to water the drink down.

  Dalmascan Sangria  
This take on a sangria focuses on the Dalmascan Red by mixing cherry juice, apricot brandy, and slices of apples, peaches, and figs. So refreshing, it'll feel like you're spending a summer in pre-war Rabanastre.

  Gelmorran Buzz  
Crafted by Mephi Morningstar, this green and tangy mix contains Still’s cellar-brewed vodka mixed with a squeeze of lemon juice, followed by naturally Shroud-grown THC-infused vegetable juice and beet juice. Topped with Canto prosecco for a bit of bubble and garnished with mint on top. Technically, it's healthy for you!
_{Contains microdosage of THC - drink at your own risk.}

  Clíodhna  
While this drink (prounounced Cleena) may be named after a vindictive green-eyed faerie ... presumably of myth, this drink is anything but. A hot buttered made with apple whisky and vanilla cream, this tastes like warm apple cake in a glass.
_{It might make you rethink of turning your sister into a cat, but no promises.}

  Other Offerings  

  Tea-cuterie  
A chacuterie board, but cutely arranged in a large teacup painted with moths and pomengranates. Comes with prosciutto shaped into roses and salami shaped into tulips. Current cheese offerings are reunion cheese and brie. Accompanied by black walnuts, roasted almonds, slices of canopy apples, shiny muscat grapes, dill pickles, and your choice of honey or jam. Available at the bar! Ask for Mephi Morningstar or Martin "Free" Paw.

  Rabbit Tails  
Bite-sized versions of the Rabbit Pie -- all flavor and no fluff, these puffy rabbit stew filled dumplings are sure to hop off your plate. Perfect for light eaters or people who like to share.

  Buscaroon's Pretzel Platter  
Not actually from Buscaroon's, but we're pretty sure he'd like these. Made to share, but we won't judge you if you want these all to yourself. 5 buttered and salted pretzel twists served with a cheese dip made with Silk & Strings ale, cheddar cheese, and spices. Mustard also available.

  Soups  

  Salads  

  The Matron  
Lentil-based spaghetti in a rich sauce made of flying trap leaves, frantoio oil, garlic, and other spices, and served with toasted kupo nuts and sauteed chanterelle mushrooms, this is sure to make you and Nophica's helpers happy in equal measure - if only because this meal helps cut down the flying trap population. Perfect for those who avoid animal products, but still want to have their bella notte moment.

  Trapper's Plate        
A selection of blood sausage, minced boar off-cuts and offals meatballs, dodo liver and onions, peas, and mashed popotoes mixed with mun-tuy sauce and seasonings. From nose to tail.

  Crispy Mister        
A version of a famous Ishgardian sandwich, transliterated. Cave cheese, cured ham, and dragonpepper jelly between two slices of thick, fluffy bread is dipped into an egg mixture and cooked on a griddle, then dusted with powdered sugar. Cut into shareable finger sandwiches. Served with seasoned Dalamud popoto wedges or tomato bisque soup. Ask for a Gooey Mister if you want extra-melty cheese.

  Pastila  
Airy, marshmallowy treats made of super-sour apples, sweetened with honey and covered in powder sugar. Softer than the rear end of a moogle. _{Don't tell them we said that.}

  Cookie Platter  
Best served with coffee, tea, hot cocoa, or a hot toddy, this is a platter including dark-chocolate dipped hazelnut cookies, maple mun-tuy barley cookies, Turali marranitos (pig cookies), and Gyr Abanian lokma (fried sweet dough).

  Cake Trios        
For those who want to have their cakes and eat them, too. In rememberance of sweeter weather, and a reminder to keep warm. Three small tea-flavored sponge cakes with floral buttercreams, the pairings are: Earl grey cake with magnolia buttercream and topped with candied magnolia petals, lemon tea cake with lavender buttercream and topped with candied lavender flowers, and cinnamon chai cake with rose butter cream and topped with candied rose petals. (Options change seasonally.)

 Dislikes:  People who undermine her abilities | Being dragged into troublesome situations (not by her kids and friends) | Anyone who dare hurts her loved ones
 About:  A powerful sorceress who runs a small magic shop in the main shopping street of Kugane, she has a keen observation when it comes to aether, recognizing any abnormal ripples around her vicinity. Mimi is kind and patient with her clientele, offering any sort of ideas within her stock that would be beneficial to their wants or needs. She is a big flirt, a minx as her friends would lovingly dubbed her, but still, she will make sure everyone is taken care of with the best hospitality.

 Age:  29
 Pronouns:  He/they out of drag, any in drag
 Interests:  Carpentry, Drag, Community Organization.
 Likes:  Corsets, Makeup, Anything To Do With Wood, Basically Anything Keeping Him Busy.
 Dislikes:  Corsets, Makeup, Unnecessary Violence.
 About:  By day he's the average Brumeborn carpenter named Victoriaux Brisbois, by night she's a drag queen named Lady Victoria de Holes. Two distinct personalities; one bold and one meek, both willing to help in anyway possible. Victor's a more empathetic soul, whereas the Lady's got more presence and more bite. Regardless of who you ask for, those big ears are there to listen to your woes.

  Siobhan Kavanagh  
 Age:  29
 Pronouns:  She/her
 Interests:  Forgotten histories, ancient ballads, lost records, people & what makes them tick.
 Likes:  Old stories, deep conversation, hard questions, sharing memories, her chocobo, playing music.
 Dislikes:  Small talk, trespassers, liars, power-hungry men.
 About:  Siobhan is a half-Elezen woman born in Dravania, with a keen interest in the unrecorded history of the world. She possesses an ability to find lost memory from places and things that have deep-seated emotion attached to them, such as old heirlooms or sites of ancient battles. Siobhan records everything she sees and much more in a growing set of leatherbound journals; when she's not pursuing her interest, she is a contracted hunter and sometimes-singer, occasionally appearing on stage to ply her voice for a crowd. Not one for small talk, Siobhan loves to get into deep conversation about one's life and times, believing that every person has their own tale to tell - and if they don't, she's sure they're on their way to one.

  Ien Ros  
 Age:  24
 Pronouns:  She/her
 Interests:  Poetry, Ancient History, a Good Story, mischief
 Likes:  Offering up innocuous treats, Lying through her teeth, Doing It For The Bit, Reading
 Dislikes:  Open Flames, Touchy People, Authority, Walking Everywhere
 About:  Animated and just a little impish, Ien is a girl from everywhere and nowhere, sporting a curiously Ishgardian accent and is keen on hearing stories from near and far. If you can get past her hot and cold personality she's great company to talk to - doubly so if you accept her offer of seeing a 'magic trick.' It won't hurt... mostly... or for very long... mostly...

  Adrasteius Solumieux  
 Age:  Mid-20s
 Pronouns:  They/them
 Interests:  Botany, aetherology, reading romance novels & travelogues, esoteric magic, baking, healing (both practical and aetherial), drawing, singing & dancing
 Likes:  Trashy monster romance, rare flowers, good decorum, nature walks, mysterious ruins, fancy cocktails, their husband, helping
 Dislikes:  Stillglade Fane, disrespectful people, snap judgments, mess, being helped, prying questions
 About:  A polite and enigmatic conjurer of Gridania, Adra endeavors to treat everyone with respect and an open mind. They're invested in the lives, values, and dreams of those around them; they ask questions and listen to others with curiosity and empathy. However, they tend to deflect if a conversation shifts towards them personally, preferring to stay out of focus. Pressing them might reveal a surprisingly sharp tongue and a read that's more than you bargained for.

  Csepel Bagoly  
 Age:  Mid 30s
 Pronouns:  He/him
 Interests:  He enjoys the study of herbs and medicine, mainly just to smoke for himself. He also enjoys yapping on and on about fashion and what foods pair well together with meat along with drinks too.
 Likes:  Herbal smokes. Corsets. Anything about fashion how much you could add to your outfit. Anything that has to do with solving puzzles or figuring people out, picking them apart until he understands every aspect of it or a person.
 Dislikes:  The Church of Halone and anyone affiliated with it. People who chew with their mouth open. Liars
 About:  A bit shorter than the average elezen, ears short and face always turned down in a slight frown. He swears he doesn't grimace, but you can always find him looking like he might sigh in disappointment at you. Despite how confident he appears to be or looks, he is two seconds from running out of a room from anxiety. Though there is something odd about the way he carries himself, how he speaks and were those feathers in his pocket? Surely not... right? Who knows, maybe he has a bird at home.

  Mephi Morningstar, Bar Manager  
 Age:  51 or 61 - he isn't sure but he knows he is up there. [Might be older - but that's for you to discover and for him to find out.]
 Pronouns:  He/him
 Interests:  Drugs, Whatever is happening in someone else's life that isn't his own, How much food he can stuff in his mouth before you realize, long walks away from conversations he doesn't want to be in, Proper handling and care of death rituals, Sandwiches, Gelmorra, BDSM as a hobby and not a personality trait
 Likes:  People who don't pick at him, people with personalities, drinks and making them, Sausage Making. Piercings and Tattoos! Needlework and bespoke suits.
 Dislikes:  Ishgardians for the most part, Ishgard, The Cold, Very bright lights, Pompous bitches, Mean Women who are mean for the sake of being mean, "Daddy Doms (you know the type)", Wet nuggets, people who leave their socks and shoes on during sex, and people who won't take no as an answer
 About:  Mephi is an odd man, with even odder tastes and more bark than bite. A very proud duskwight that grew up in Gelmorra and still speaks the old tongue. A undertaker/funeral director in his normal job, bartending and sex work is a hobby he does to socialize or try too. A service top and retired performer in the Ishgardian halls, he now finds himself here and that's a problem for everyone else.

  Malleus De Noailles  
 Age:  About late 30’s.
 Pronouns:  He/him
 Interests:  Work.
 Likes:  Working, gil, cats, banter, pathetic men, cruel women.
 Dislikes:  Lack of manners, germs, vulgarity.
 About:  A barkeep, a tailor, a steady hand and a listening ear. Malleus of House Noailles strives to satisfy patrons and clients in anyway that he can. Malleus is a levelheaded, curious and patient man. Always aspiring to best assist the soul before him. Take a seat, drink a cocktail and unpack all your woes to the steady hand that serves you.

  C'reme Brulee  
 Age:  29
 Pronouns:  He/him
 Interests:  Wandering about the Shroud, storytelling and story-keeping, moongazing, recreational trouble-making, oh... and Chocobo too, I guess.
 Likes:  A good chase, thin air, the scent of hay and leather, busy hands, Music where you'd least expect it, summer storms.
 Dislikes:  People who think in black and white, stillness, when your socks get wet in your boots, strict rules.
 About:  C'reme Brulee is a great many things, but no matter if you know him as a Hunter, a Pirate, or a General Nuisance, It's almost universally agreed upon that he's an eccentric man with a vibrant spirit. Maybe you've seen him before, a flash of yellow running between the trees, or as a heavy-handed bartender in the out-of-reach places, the fringes, and the cool shadows, serving as much brightness as he does booze. Take a seat and rest a while, tell a few tales. Perhaps you can even get the choco'te to share a few of his own - A bard's habits die hard.

  "Cheats"  
 Age:  42, supposedly
 Pronouns:  He/him
 Interests:  Gambling, medical sciences, criminal mischief
 Likes:  Making new friends, a little danger, turning everything into a bet, feeling helpful, trying new things, finding new vices, relieving rich people of their money
 Dislikes:  The ultra-wealthy, pretentiousness, oppressive quiet, a lot of danger
 About:  As can be guessed by his nickname, Cheats has no small amount of improper and mischievous vices, including but not limited to gambling, drinking, smoking, and lying. Friendly and outgoing, he is always excited to meet new people and hear about them and their life - just maybe don't let him rope you into any games of chance. Always wearing his strange mask, he's equally secretive about his personal life and history, prone to diverting the conversation or even giving varied stories that change upon each telling. The mask helps him breathe after a war injury, he might say, right before taking a casual drag from a cigarette.

  Criticality  
 Age:  ???
 Pronouns:  He/him
 Interests:  Living as hedonistically as possible, destroying the people who have wronged him
 Likes:  Unsettling people, a good hunt, violence, his wife, the idea of throwing you out
 Dislikes:  Mhach, void mages, not indulging in whatever he wants
 About:  Standing at eight fulms and sporting a distinctive shattered helm, Criticality has an imposing presence, even without the air of playful malice that he radiates. Clad in full plate armor regardless of the setting, this unusual man exudes an effortless and often insufferable confidence. While he will do his best to not engage in direct confrontation, there is something off about his presence, and he haunts this establishment with an unsettling severity.

  Fiachna Valera  
 Age:  ???
 Pronouns:  He/him
 Interests:  Reading all sorts of books and visiting candy shops. Hunting big game and hiking are also favorite passtimes of his as well.
 Likes:  People who don't say "thank you" to him, archon loaf, language learning, going new places and trying new foods, meeting new people and hearing their stories.
 Dislikes:  Dragoons, Ishgardian bureaucracy, people who say "thank you" to him and don't take it back, people who ask if they can have his name, anything to do with stories of the fae.
 About:  A courier and freelancer from Dravania who speaks with a flat affect and seemingly lacks any enthusiasm, at least at first glance. Work always seems to be on his mind and he takes his job seriously, caring deeply for the people around him and their safety above all else. (Rumor also has it that he's not human, and he doesn't ever seem to deny it when asked about it. So who knows, maybe they're right?)

  Emily Djt-dvre  
 Age:  22
 Pronouns:  He/they
 Interests:  Traditional weaponry, camping, frilly clothing, personal tales and anecdotes.
 Likes:  A quick wit, white hair on Viera, animals!, combat games, going out on dates, being roped into adventure.
 Dislikes:  Puzzling drink orders, honest to Gods violence, people with ties to the Garlean Empire, making fun of them for their appearance, having to work, being roped into adventure.
 About:  Emily is a short demiboy Viera with a finnish-sounding accent who grew up in the village of Hyskaris, nested in eastern Golmore. Having fled their village after wood warder training, dodged war and imperial occupation, they find themselves struggling to adjust to life in Eorzea, and are looking to find those with similar experiences to draw upon and learn from. As of current, their occupations include a consulting gig at the Lancer's guild and odd-jobs on a commission - generally regarding hunting, botany or protection. A kind-hearted soul who has to struggle with the role their previous culture had imposed upon them, unwilling to live a life of battle, but unable to live one of love.

They are most known for their massively large tail covered in moving flowers and their near haunting presence in some of the oldest establishments on this star in some form or another. Known as 'The Harmcist' playfully, they are a very well known figure in the healing world and someone who haunts the stage with their shroud-style performances. Special note; during winter months Martin has antlers.
