staff

Elouan Sauveterre Gridanian founder
- The elezen that started it all! Elou prepares most of the food, drinks, and what he doesn't is either delivered through his mother or made with Victoriaux's help!

Victoriaux Brisbois Ishgardian friend
- Started as a visitor and became staff, Elou's grateful for his friend's busy-body ways! From helping with any repairs the club needs to dishing out food, Victor's a good man as any to have in his circle.

about

It all started with one (1) Gridanian. Having grown up in the Shroud, surrounded by bees and their pollinating ways, he's been inspired to share their work where he now calls home: Ishgard.
The nation of the north, surrounded by snow and cold weather, doesn't seem likely to grant bumblebees and honeybees safety.Thus, did his stubborn will manifest into something else: why not make a club? The Bee Club was born, thanks to personal funding and that of friends, and Elouan couldn't bee any prouder.Will the bees manage to return to Coerthas, grant the land of snow sights of lush flora, or will they settle on advocacy and chatter instead? That remains a mystery only solved with the Bee Club's members!

rules

- Bee club is an LGBTQ+ venue. While the main focus involves bees (love, research, chatter, etc), it's still a safe place for those under the aforementioned umbrella.
- Keep OOC to a minimum. This is to encourage more IC interactions and, of course, connections between other characters!
- Gil mentioned is rp, not irl. This is a little venue made for fun, so any gil on the 'menu' is for the sake of immersion. Any ooc gil received goes towards making the place even better!
- No fighting! Bee club can bring in all kinds of people. Fighting is not tolerated and those partaking will be asked to stop or take it elsewhere.
- Bee kind! The main, and most important, thing to keep in mind! We're here to have fun so why not keep it that way?
- Want to keep up with the hive? Join the discord! Ask either Elouan or Victor for the link

Tricks & Treats!

All food is served downstairs at the table by the bar! Refreshments are found there as well.

- Finger Soup Served in a wooden bowl, this dish is one to leave you wondering: is it a finger, or a dagger? Broth, ground dagger, and some veggies await!

- Witch's eye Be it one or two, eyes look on from the table. Bubble chocolate with iced-on pupils of various types, with a creamy filling inside.

- Dullahan's Head While not the color of a frost-bitten corpse, the bright, orange warmth sure reminds one of how alive a horseman once was! Headless, but not forgotten. Cooked mini pumpkin pies, featuring a 'jack-o-lantern' face.

- Leftover Intestines If we serve heads, why not bring in another part of the body? Cooked 'intestines' sided with a poor man's blood in a bowl, likewise meat of the questionable variety. Boiled, salted pasta with tomato sauce and meatballs, bowled to go.

- Vampire's Bite A count, or two, or more missing their fair share, it seems! Blood currant tarts with two indentations on the left side, as if suffering from the same affliction it's named for.

- Missing Fingers If it wasn't in the soup, it's right here! Finger sandwiches made with either meat and veggies or egg salad and lettuce rather than bread.

- Blood Similar in its hue, it's a cooling drink to aid even the hottest of creatures! Mulled tea served in a clear cup and a dark red saucer.

- Souls of the departed The dead shouldn't be so refreshing. Be it living in the afterlife and no longer needing the aether, the frozen spirits is sure to freshen one's night. A cool, slush drink accompanied by a little cookie ghost on the rim.

- Ichor No need to be a primal to savor its divine taste! Rather than made from crystals or embued with aether, the apple juice is served in a stout cup and with a little slice of the fruit on the side.

Sweets & Sips

- Starlight Donuts Displayed on a platter and ready for the picking, these donuts are rings of various icings and sprinkles galore. From snowflakes to starlight trees, these pastries will be sure to get you in the spirit!

- Ginger Cookies Enjoy a festive treat in the shape of chocobos, reindeer, or the traditional gingerbread person. Icing clothes them in various costumes and accessories, ready to appreciate with the eye or consumption. They're on a platter as well, all neatly separated for picking and choosing.

- Angeled Eggs Not unlike its 'deviled' counterpart, these eggs are the perfect finger food for your plate! They're topped with a dash of pepper and paprika to give them a little voice to start the caroling.

- Rolanberry Snowman Cheesecake If we have gingermen, what about snowmen? This rolanberry cheesecake is topped with cut rolanberries and whipped cream on the 'hats'. Each cake is sliced and ready to share!

- Persimmon Pudding Have a spoonful of the Far East with this Persimmon Pudding! Gentle on the palate, it offers a kindness that Starlight aims to celeberate and encourage. Pudding is served in a large bowl with a ladle for portioning.

- Sugar Cookies If ginger people aren't your thing, what about plain sugar cookies? In the shape of three different snowflakes, make your own snowfall with these soft, warm treats! A light sprinkle of sugar coats the cookies, which are served atop napkins.

- Heavenly Eggnog A staple for any Starlight, this non-alcoholic drink is served in individual glasses of your choosing. Each one is either red, green, or white with a little snowflake garnish. Cute!

- Apple Cider Still want the sweetness of the warmer seasons but still show the Starlight spirit? Apple cider's served warm, a slightly sweet drink with a hint of brown sugar. It comes in a mug with a small stick of cinnamon slipped into it.

- Peppermint Hot Chocolate An Ishgardian staple with a peppermint twist, this drink's made with milk, cocoa powder, peppermint, and topped with marshmallows. Are they in the shape of a smile, or perhaps a snowflake? Only one way to find out! Served warm in mugs.
