AlcoholThe Celestial: Refreshing, glittering indigo gin. Muddled with fresh mint and topped with a bubbly rose tonic - as bright and glimmering as the stars above. served In a silver dusted tumbler with an althyk lavender garnishStardiver: A strong double shot of balanced, filtered vodka, with floral notes of dragonfruit, blueberry, and citrus. It's signature scarlet colour is complimented by resting in a delicately polished stone and silver glassThe Boxmover: A dark, smokey whiskey mixed with a softly spiced ginger beer. Poured over ice, with a candied ginger garnish. Served in a square crystal glass - guaranteed to let you move at least one box while you enjoy your stay.  The Velvet Lounge's most popular drink.Superbolide: A handcrafted rich dark coconut rum with sweet wild berries, to contrast the dry yet pleasant bitterness of cinnamon hints and a high alcohol percentage. Not for the faint of heart.Wildfire: A seemingly harmless and fruity strawberry gin tonic with dashes of lime and orange, with a mint leaf garnish, but don't be fooled by her sweetness; let it build up and it packs with a punch.Twin Snakes: Once a very long time ago, a man picked up a discarded soulstone. Writ upon the aether, the technique one of rapid, many limbed assault. While this drink is harmless, palest green in the bottle - it packs the very same punch of that man in the long ago. Absinthe and Champagne delight and bubble. Just don't try to reach for what you see, because you may well end up hitting someone you shouldn't.The Back Shot: Legend says the Pool Table at the Velvet Lounge bears some ancient curse. Indeed, one evening half the Lounge was taken out by errant billiard balls. Yesui herself took one to the arse. A dark drink, velvet smooth black rum with a swirl of the sweetest of creme liquer. Served with a shot of hundred proof grain alcohol to remind us all that we are alive. /Random 20 - all rolls below 10 will see that grain alcohol hit you like a wayward rack of pool balls.The Mad-Catter's Bonk Sauce:
This drink is crafted from a chaotic mixture of rum, gin, tequila and triple sec vodka - topped with a splash of fizzing, peppery, sweet cola, simple syrup, and a dash of lemon juice. Served with an (optional) lemon slice over ice. Sure to get you as drunk as the day is long, named for a certain catte who caused chaos wherever she went.Wines, Whiskeys, Rums, ét al available upon request. We do not charge for our drinks, but tips are always appreciated!

SmokablesSomnus: A relaxing blend, made from dried dream flowers. It might have you seeing stars, or it might see you sleeping for twenty four bells. Isn't that fun?Gaelicatnip: Known to one and all to charm even the most difficult of kitties. Yesui happens to have her own garden for just such an occasion. When smoked it induces a lazy kind of feeling. Particularly effective on our Miqo'te friends.The Lavender Rose: Yesui's own personal favourite, this blend of rose petals, lavender, and just a touch of earth aspected aether will see you spouting all kinds of dreamy wisdom - whether anyone wants to listen to it or not is certainly not Yesui's problem.Chamomile Moko Blend: Do you ever just want to turn off for a while? Dull your mind and warm your body into sweet, sweet relaxation? This blend is for you.Yafaem Wildgrass: One might think the herb loved by Chocobos all over Eorzea might be a dull thing, but this particular variety will see you active, happy, and just about ready to hug everyone in a ten yalm radius. Please remember consent is important, and exercise caution when going in for a snuggle.


DrinkablesEsuna: Not for the faint of heart, or for the faint of willpower. This drug will see you so pleased, so happy, so blissful - that you will forgive even your worst enemy. Be careful, however, for it can be highly addictive, and the crash will see you sent sideways.A pale, chilly looking blue. The brew glows faintly, but is otherwise unremarkable. It has a cloying scent, which can give a person a bit of a high by mere inhalation.Gravity: One to be shared with someone you love, or just someone you would like to have a bit of fun with. Gravity will see your senses heightened, and your pleasure rapturous. Please do not use on Lounge Grounds, unless you have arranged for a private room. Will only work with express consent.
A deeper violet colour. This potion smells of spices, and tastes like cinnamon and cream. It does not glow, as such, but when shaken it appears that little pinpricks of light scatter in the bottleHelios: To earn brightness, to earn joy, to earn the easing of all the aches in your body. While formulated as painkiller, Helios has been known to work wonders on the aches and pains of any sore adventurer. Try it and set yourself in a warm room with good company.Synastry: Another potion meant for lovers, this brew will see an echoed sensation shared between whomever drinks from the same bottle. The brush of a finger against a lip has never felt so intimate. Will only work with express consent.This potion is clear, though when shaken it turns a creamy colour. It smells like nothing, and tastes like nothing. Can be put into any drink - though drinks that have a higher caffeine content will see the brew not work as well. Best to be had straight from the bottleHoroscope: Can you see the future? Certainly, with this well made tonic. You will certainly see something, at least. Who is to say it won't be the future?Electric green, smelling of pepper and ozone. The potion glows brightly, and can almost be used as a nightlight if the colour weren’t so vaguely off putting. It is thick and feels more like a heavy syrup in the mouth. Tastes like licking a tree might, and is generally unpleasantAscend: Do you feel a little tired? Exhausted? This helpful restorative will see you up on your feet and moving. It will wear off eventually, of course, but who doesn't like a little pep in their step for a while?Bright and shimmering red, smelling of cloves and snow. A light feeling on the tongue that leaves the mouth very warm and tingly after it is taken


All potions on the Roulette are also available for purchase. The crescent tree apothecary is open for all manner of business. Ask Yesui what she might have to hand, the answer might surprise you. Looking to arrange for a larger delivery for your club or venue? She can manage that just as well.

Yesui decided she might like to bring a little something extra to the Lounge after a comment about poisoning tea. Thus the Potion Roulette was born. All potions in the roulette are available for individual purchase.
/random 20 - Whatever you get is what you get.

1: Umbral Draw - A sudden feeling of dread, as though you are being watched, it passes very quickly in the dose given for the potion roulette. Outside of the roulette it is a stubborn feeling of paranoia that lasts for days. A Dark potion, pinpricks of violet light. Cloying and sweet, dyes the tongue black. Texture like syrup.2: Microcosmos - A minor hallucinogen that causes the user to see glittering stars wherever they look for a period of one bell. Invented because Yesui liked looking at stars. The potion is a deep blue with a gentle silver glow, the taste is similar to rainwater, and the texture is almost fog-like on the tongue.3: Exaltation - A bubble like film will wrap around the drinker while they sit in quiet bliss on the inside. Unable to be touched or spoken to - deaf and dumb to everything around them until the potion runs its course. Set for ten minutes on the roulette. Lasts longer outside of it. The potion is almost clear, though when it is shaken it seems to fill with the light of a distant moon. Tastes just a touch bitter, though the aftertaste is sweet. Texture like water.4: Horoscope - Can you see the future? Certainly, with this well made tonic. You will certainly see something, at least. Who is to say it won't be the future? Electric green, smelling of pepper and ozone. The potion glows brightly, and can almost be used as a nightlight if the colour weren’t so vaguely off putting. It is thick and feels more like a heavy syrup in the mouth. Tastes like licking a tree might, and is generally unpleasant.5: Earthly Star - Very briefly a person is filled with great pride in themselves and their accomplishments, to the point of boasting. While doing so, they glow with an inner light, their candor more persuasive. While the regular version is one made specifically for persuasion only, this one causes a bravado and pride that borders on ridiculous. The colour of the potion is a bright, cheerful sky blue. Tastes like mint and pepper. Somewhat viscous on the tongue.6: Esuna - Not for the faint of heart, or for the faint of willpower. This drug will see you so pleased, so happy, so blissful - that you will forgive even your worst enemy. Be careful, however, for it can be highly addictive, and the crash will see you sent sideways. A pale, chilly looking blue. The brew glows faintly, but is otherwise unremarkable. It has a cloying scent, which can give a person a bit of a high by mere inhalation.7: Benefic - It gives the drinker the feeling one might have after they have just been given delightful back scratches. A simple, peach coloured potion that tastes like plums.8: Astral Draw - A sudden feeling of joy, as though everyone in the room has just told you that they love you and truly meant it. Potion is a red-violet colour. Tastes like pine trees and berries. Texture is not too far from oil, and it slips down the throat just the same.9: Essential Dignity - Truth potion. You will be forced to speak in only truths for a period of one bell. Flavourless, odourless, colourless. Dangerous.10: Opposition - Levin mint forms much of the matter for the base stages of this potion, and because of that it burns more brightly against what clogs your mind. It will not make you forget your problems, but the clarity it gives you might help you face them unafraid. A pale purple, much like the base colour of the plant that gives this potion its base. It seems to crackle in the bottle, and there is the faint sound of static when held up to the ear/horn/whatever. It tastes electric, and burns on the tongue and down the throat. Very thin texture - like fine oil.11: Lightspeed - Contrary to popular belief, this is not a potion that speeds up the person. This is a potion that changes the awareness of a person, so that they believe time is going by a lot faster than it actually is. It comes with a rapid heartbeat and a general sense of haste. Like things need to be done right this very moment. The non-roulette version is one that can cause swift efficiency when working, but Yesui added something special for the Lounge to make it worse because she’s a bitch like that. Zaps the tongue when you drink it, an almost neon yellow. Strangely, it tastes like honey.12: Combust - This warming mixture, crafted with clary sage, coneflower, and rue will heal you just as well as it bolsters you. When imbibed, it will imbue the body with a sweet little buzzing sensation that sets the blood to singing. It induces a subtle high, but will make the body hot to the touch. An amber colour, nearly glittering where it sits. It smells of whiskey, and of ginger. It tastes much like a stiff drink would, though the effects are more long lasting and nearly instantaneous.13: Helios Conjunction - Extra strength Helios with the added power of Combust. A deliciously delightful potion - and not one for people who are unused to drugs. Take at your peril (you will be knocked unconscious if you drink too much) if you are not a seasoned functioning opiate addict like Yesui. A cheerful yellow potion that tastes exactly like the freshest lemon you’ve ever smelled. A little sour, with a note of spice on the end. The potion goes down just like a juice might.14: Helios - To earn brightness, to earn joy, to earn the easing of all the aches in your body. Formulated as a painkiller, Helios has been known to work wonders on the aches and pains of any sore adventurer. It has the added effect of relaxing the mind as well. Try it and set yourself in a warm room with good company. A deeper blue than Esuna - and one that shines when the light goes through the bottle. It smells of lavender and clary sage, and has a very thin texture in the mouth. Like drinking water, but with a distinctly herbal aftertaste.15: Ascend - Do you feel a little tired? Exhausted? This helpful restorative will see you up on your feet and moving. It will wear off eventually, of course, but who doesn't like a little pep in their step for a while? The spiced taste of amber cloves, the scent of winter. A brew to set you rising from the dead. Bright and shimmering red, smelling of cloves and snow. A light feeling on the tongue that leaves the mouth very warm and tingly after it is taken16: Macrocosmos - A strange potion that causes the drinker to feel as though every sensation they experience is delayed...pain, pleasure, even movement. It’s as though time itself is holding onto each moment before suddenly releasing them all at once when the effect ends. Can cause clumsy movements and delayed reactions. The potion is a deep blue with a gentle silver glow, the taste is similar to rainwater, and the texture is almost fog-like on the tongue.17: Sancta - A quarter bell after consumption will see the drinker at full, dizzy peace - with themselves, with their deeds, with their demons. Bliss tearing through muscle and bone. Side effects include tingling lips, warm extremities, and a willingness to forget your horrible troubles for three to four bells. Heavy on the tongue, for the things a person wants to forget are often weighted in nature. Dark red in colour, this potion smells of clove and wood-smoke, and is curiously warm on the tongue. The flavour of it is reminiscent of a mulled wine, from the noble grapes pressed and processed for its creation - though its effect is much different in nature.18: Lucid Dreaming - A potion that makes you feel as though you have just woken from the best dream of your life and enjoyed the most delicious full body stretch imaginable. Has a long half life in the body. May even last through to the next morning. Things just feel good on this potion. A lurid purple potion that stains the lips and tastes like candied flowers. The texture is no different than the lightest of syrups, and the sensation of drinking it altogether too pleasant to consider.19: Oracle - For a brief moment, the drinker experiences overwhelming déjà vu, as if they’ve lived this exact moment before. Their words and actions may feel eerily scripted, and they may even "predict" minor things that happen next with uncanny accuracy. The longer-lasting version grants legitimate short-term foresight, but roulette doses are just enough to make things unsettling. The hue of the potion is hard to determine, as if it is as ever shifting as the future. It tastes like nothing, but also everything.20: Sun Sign - A golden glow briefly radiates from the drinker's skin, and they feel an overwhelming surge of charisma and confidence. For the duration of the effect, they genuinely believe they are the most important person in the room—and act accordingly. Compliments flow easily, laughter feels richer, and they exude an almost magnetic charm. However, they may also become overdramatic, prone to grand speeches, or convinced they are destined for greatness (whether true or not). Pure, theatrical chaos in a bottle. The colour is a brilliant, glowing orange - stunning and glittering. It tastes like the sunshine might on the dew of a flower, and the feel of it is warm and clean on the tongue.
