Our bakery prepares fresh meals and confections whenever it so happens to be in operation. The establishment's hosts have travelled far and wide, and their vast culinary experience is here to sate your appetite and please your palette.

Additional seating of a more intimate nature can be had downstairs. There's ample space to sit and sip, no matter how many are in your company.
For special occasions, the tearoom is home to our full service bakery and kitchen. Temporary menus may be offered as supply allows. Confer with your hosts for more information about seasonal events.
private library:
The Pelican's Quill maintains a modest onsite library for patrons. Admittance is the cost of a drink, though do be careful not to spill.
public literature:
Books at our outdoor stall are free for the taking. We ask that these books are borrowed, not pilfered. Only your honor guarantees their return; We ask only you treat them kindly. The diner makes a warm place to read the tome of your choosing, and on temperate days you may enjoy our garden seating.
If you are interested in distributing literature at The Quill, please abide by the following guidelines:
Maintain good taste. Works should not be obscene or heretical. If you are concerned your material may be found unjustly obscene or heretical, confer with management.
Keep materials in mind. Items placed on our outdoor bookcart or magazine racks oft go missing. Do keep in mind that book thieves rarely steal for love of the art. Paper makes good kindling. Do not over-invest in your work if you intend it for public distribution.
Those in Need... The Pelican's Quill is an establishment for all. While we host material for various reading levels, we are most in need of works of simple-to-intermediate level. Illustrations are appreciated.
Management has final say. You forfeit ownership of your material once bequeathed to the Quill. We reserve the right to deny any pamphlet, flier, magazine, journal or booklet for distribution. You have the right to sneak such works into our establishment regardless, and we have the right to move them to the furnace once discovered.

your hosts:
Yisu khatayin
Proprietor and procurement. Chirurgeon, retired Storm Captain, mercantile expert, mage, & eccentric. Yisu's passions include sailing, botany, hunting and games of chance. His calling card is here, should you have an interest.
Evka Zaradasch
Host, tea master and cosmetologist. Evka manages daily operations for the Quill, and has particular passion for international cuisine, having traveled far to reach the Holy See. When she isn't keeping her lance sharp or training chocobos, she enjoys culinary experimentation and dance.
Our mysterious benefactor
Yisu and Evka are adventurers of some renown and standing. Both have served with honors in Eorzea's Grand Companies, are accomplished merchants, and individuals of some wealth. The Quill's continued operation and state of the art alchemical lab are owed to an anonymous financier, without whom none of this would be possible. Many thanks.
rules:
I put this all together for fun. :) I'm too busy for regular RP atm, so I won't be hosting real events here. Yisu (or his mysterious benefactor) may drop by to use the lab, speak with retainers, or redo the garden.
If you would like to visit, gpose or use it as an RP setting, please feel free. Just be respectful.
If you'd like to drop me a line, I've got a roundup on my socials at my website. I might love to RP sometime, if my dayjob ever lets up or I get the rare day off.
