Welcome to the Crow's Cage Tavern. This fine establishment of food, drink, and revelry was put together as a family effort to provide a fun place for Carnivale visitors and locals to get together under one roof to spend quality time together. We feature the best of local entertainment from the Carnivale, a selection of foods that span the many cultures that make us all who we are, and a no-nonsense collection of beers, wines, and spirits guaranteed to help you find your way to the infectious joy the Carnivale brings. Please, allow us to share the joy of our culture with you, your friends, and your families.

This is no high-collared, dress coded, fancy society joint. Wear what's comfortable and thoroughly expect to have loud conversations, slap your hands on the tables to the beat of the music, and chat with your mates over a game of darts. We may not have the finest champagne from the Core, but you won't find a better place to get your drink on.

((OOC Information: This page (save for the gallery of employees) is the IC menu for the tavern, which allows us to use the blackboard in the room for other things. While we do not serve coded food for coded money, this tavern has been put together as a gathering place, local bar, hotspot on Paquin. By all means, we'd love it if you tipped exact dollars for what your character eats and drinks, but if your pockets are getting short we'll understand. It was hard work putting this place together, so if you appreciate it, please, all donations are accepted and could go towards additions to the place. We just want your company and your roleplay.))

A VERY special thanks to Elizabeth for helping us get off of the ground.

Location

We are located on the Rue Marchande on Paquin. We're nestled right next to the Carnivale and right next to the spaceport, an easy walk from your crew's ship and easily accessed from Paquin proper.

House Rules

1. Above all else, there is no fighting in the tavern. We've got a weapon check at the door. This place is for good times to be had, so please be courteous of your fellow customer.
   

   If your drink hits the floor, you give Bubba a kiss.
2. If you drop your drink onto the floor (note: not spill, but DROP) you have to give Bubba a kiss.
3. If the band playing is in the middle of a set and you get up, you might be yelled at. Relax...it's all part of the show. They might make you finish your drink before heading off or to the restroom. It's done out of fun and jest.
4. The ladies that serve you here are elegant and friendly, so please give them the same respects.
5. The men that serve you here are friendly, but not elegant. Trash talk at the bar is a must.
6. No children in the bar after 8:30. We'll serve your kids dinner and let them enjoy a half hour of the music, but after that we become a more adult establishment.
7. Now having said that we're an adult establishment, use your discretion. We have cameras too. Bring your date here, have fun, but don't finish your date here.
8. Moving the tables near the walls to make up more dancing room is encouraged.

Other Services

Our beloved owner (and the guy who wrote the menu) also happens to be a tattoo artist. One might say that they assumed as much because he's got so many tattoos, but in reality all that shows is that he has a lot of tattoos. So in an effort to let everyone know that he does tattoo work, we've decided to note it on the menu.

Crow can do tattoos by appointment only, and charges 25 credits per tattoo (20 if you supply the artwork). We can't do the tattoo inside of the bar (that would be unsanitary) but can meet with you in the office or anywhere on Paquin to put the artwork into place. In fact, he'd be down right happy to do so.

Tattoo removal services are five credits per piece.

((OOC information: Again, I try very hard to do a fair exchange of coded money for coded services. These tattoos are a part of the tattoo code. So they are, technically, coded items. Why would you want a coded tattoo over simply putting it into your desc, you wonder? Well, the tattoo code works like a sub-description. Literally any part of the body can be coded with a tattoo, and can be hidden from view when wearing clothing over said body part. This way you can have very descriptive tattoo work that wouldn't clutter your normal 'look' desc. And since they're icly coded (and ink is permanent), they don't change when you update your normal desc. If you'd like a gander at the code or have questions, please ask Crow.))

((OOC: For those of you with tattoos, since this information isn't anywhere on the wiki that I see, follow these steps to hide and unhide your tats))

• TO HIDE TATTOOS
  • &hide_tattoo_bodypart me=123 (ex: &hide_tattoo_back me=123).

• TO REVEAL TATTOOS
  • &hide_tattoo_bodypart me (ex: &hide_tattoo_back me)
