The Six of Cups
Premise
Premise
You won't find it on main street - it is quite an out-of-the-way establishment. Most likely you'll find it in some back alley where things should not be seen and even then it's not always where you think it is. Those who search for it will never find it unless they seek the truth... It is only then when the Six of Cups will be revealed to you.
Inside the dimly lit interior you will see many wondrous, strange, and mysterious things. Two of which are it's occupants; two young men who are usually referred to as the Twins or when they deem it necessary, they will supply you with a name if you ask nicely. All is not as it seems inside the Six of Cups - the young owners at time seem wise beyond their years and then at times they act just as they look. Many... exotic and arcane customers frequent the place.
Enter the Six of Cups with an open heart and mind... or reap your just rewards.

Six of Cups was inspired by the manga The Tarot Café, and is a small bar where twin siblings give tarot readings. Both siblings are clairvoyant and can see the past, present, and possible future of their clients (but only when reading the tarot). Since the future has nearly infinite possibilities, the twins can only see one outcome through the cards. This is similar to the manga, with the exception of the twins (and possibly seeing the future strictly through the cards).
The place itself is a mixture of a bar, mystical shop, and library of occult and arcane knowledge. Customers who come to the Six of Cups are usually trying to find something whether it be their future, an ancient artifact, or simply an answer to a question they have. The Twins deal in it all, along with their employees. The bar itself keeps regular hours from approximately 12 Noon - 12 AM, however the special and unique clients they cater to can be seen after hours but at a pretty steep price. After hours payment is usually found to be some rare object, something the client is willing to give up, or an exchange of knowledge. Again, I assume this is pretty similar to the manga in terms of after hours payment as well as seeing special clients after the shop is closed.
Gameplay is quasi-free form. What does that mean? It means that for the most part, there is no set plot unless players who portray the Twins and the shop's regulars come up with something particularly interesting. For the most part, there will be small mini-plots that pertain around the shop's clients who come to the Six of Cups for whatever reason.
