Hawk's Nest Cantina
Located in Shirogane (Diabolos, Plot 34/Ward 2), in the lower floor of the Tenshodo Outpost.
Hawk's Nest Cantina is an immersive, themed roleplaying lounge; a hangout for adventurers, sky pirates, scoundrels, privateers, and treasure hunters. Located in the basement of the Tenshodo Outpost Company and serving the finest New World and La Noscean cuisine, Hawk's is rugged enough for a night on the town but classy enough for a quiet evening for two.
"I came up with the idea for Hawk's Nest because there are so few places for people to discuss their roleplay activities openly. People who want to play as scoundrels, outlaws, or even just adventurers need a place to meet and socialize unharassed, because otherwise we get discouraged and stop roleplaying entirely."
Hawk's is currently on a flexible, non-static schedule!

Rules and Conduct
Now, us being mostly made up of ex-privateers, we aren't exactly big on long lists of rules that aren't "take all ya can, give nothin' back." But we do have one or two just to avoid any unpleasantness, savvy?
Wear the Roleplayer (RP) status tag if you want to be addressed in-character, and leave your status elsewise if you don't.
Avoid all inflammatory language and subject matter. That includes slurs and political discussions.
If the doorman let you inside, it means your character is over the legal drinking age. We expect you to act like it.
Be considerate; you're encouraged to talk to strangers and be yourself, but if you're going to act out something disruptive, negotiate it with the staff and the other players involved first.
If you experience issues with another customer or a member of the staff, Message the owner directly or politely talk to the individual about their behavior out of character like a mature adult.
Finally, keep all your "Not Safe For Work" conversations out of public channels. Take it into /party, /tell, or an appropriate Linkshell.
