Oh how cute! It's a breezy little co-op with a coffee stand and a counter that shows off organic, locally-made make ups and accessories. There are a couple of instruments hung along the far wall, where wooden crates house records and tapes. This place reeks of hipster. You feel like you need bigger glasses and more flannel before you can step in through the door. Or at the very least a flower crown and some denim.
The Nest
A coffee counter! That's nice. A bored and slightly irritated-looking troll with bird wings is standing behind the register, wiping down the counters between customers. She isn't exactly unfriendly, but...you think to yourself that her social skills could use some work. Which means she's the best barista you've ever encountered. Yessss. She points out the menu board and the handful of organic goodies, and you feel inclined to tip extra because of her lukewarm customer service. You love coffeeshops.
THEME - SKY PUPPETEERS
Frappucada - 200B - A frozen coffee blended with white chocolate and caramel syrup. This thing is ridiculously sugary and you're not even sure humans should be drinking it, but bugs adore it! So much so that even pulling this out of your sylladex summons them en masse. What you do with them once they're there is on you, though. If you do have the sweet tooth necessary to stomach this, it makes you talk really, really fast. So hey, you can talk to the bugs at least! Whether or not they listen is a different story.

Purocha - 200B - Or a caramel macchiato. Which is actually a latte. Basically this drink is called something different wherever you order it, much to the confusion of baristas everywhere, but drinking it will make everyone automatically assume (WPP/especially effective on consorts and other NPCs) you're an expert on the situation at hand. After all, it certainly SOUNDS like a fancy beverage...

Baraccino - 200B - There's no way this is even a real thing. Is there? Anyway, whatever it is, it's unbelievably strong. But it's also pretty sweet! Drinking this makes your physical strength 5x greater but also makes you significantly less likely to commit violent acts. Mostly you just wanna cuddle.

Grey Wind - 200B - This...this is just an Earl Grey tea with a fancy name. What gives? It smells nice, though, like citrus and bergamot. Very soothing. Actually though, this tea is kind of a big deal, but it only seems to work on characters with a certain amount of self-doubt or hidden potential, and is completely ineffective on confident or self-assured individuals. When it does work, it grants a sort of emotional buff that prevents any emotional damage or trauma from being taken and passively increases your chances of getting what you want. In extremely rare cases, it has been linked to troll cancer, but you probably shouldn't worry about that.

Jeankaffé - 200B - It's got a fancy name and all, but you're nearly positive this is steamed almond milk. When you asked the barista, they rolled their eyes and refused to answer. Well anyway. This drink, oddly enough, can be used to stem the hunger of any supernatural feeders, such as ghouls and demons. It's not a long-term solution, but it substitutes for one thoroughly satisfying feeding, which might buy you enough time to prevent a needlessly morbid and dramatic scenario from occurring. NOBODY wants to see that, right?

Caffé au Lady - 200B - This isn't a caffe au lait at all. You feel lied to. Someone just took an iced mocha and gave it a punny name. On top of that, now that you've tasted it, you're ridiculously intimidating and everyone is slightly afraid of you. For some reason, everyone you encounter (WPP) gets the impression that you're intensely powerful. It may or may not be true, but appearance is everything. You may notice that people tend to respect your authority a bit more after you've consumed this.

Fleur's Homemade Cosmetics~~*~,~
An exceedingly beautiful woman wearing a tasteful excess of floral print blows you a friendly kiss and welcomes you to her corner of the store. There are several compacts, lipsticks, and shadows strewn about the counter in colorful varieties. A hand-lettered sign assures you the ingredients are responsibly sourced and guaranteed to please
Vernal Vixen (c) brand Spyliner in "Crypt Keeper" - 750B - This eyeliner is bold and dark and PERFECT for finally nailing your smoky faux-Egyptian look. It was inspired by a rather intimidating individual with a secret soft side. Wearing it makes you intensely intimidating, but also (WPP) gives you insight into the people you're dealing with, making you supernaturally perceptive as to their motivations and desires.
Vernal Vixen (c) brand Spyliner in "Tailypo" - 750B - This eyeliner is glittery and it makes you feel extremely possessive and immature. Wearing it might seem like a bad idea, but it causes you to become unshakeably determined and makes you immune to any effects that might otherwise distract you from getting what you want.
Vernal Vixen (c) brand Shimmer Dust in "Foxy" - 750B - This pearlescent opal shimmer dust looks different under every light and, when worn, makes you somewhat enigmatic--and not just because people are clouded by their attraction to you. It makes you appear differently to different people, allowing you to blend into crowds and thoroughly confuse those around you. It would be hard to find a practical use for this--maybe--but it's guaranteed to up your prankster game.
Vernal Vixen (c) brand Manipu-lipstick in "Odyssey" - 150B - This is your favorite lipstick! This particular shade (a pale sandy color that reminds you of distant beaches) causes the people you kiss to lose sight of their goals and desires, making it near-impossible for them to complete a given task. As a side effect, it makes it very difficult for you to speak your mind.
Vernal Vixen (c) brand cologne in "Je N'Sais Que" - 500B - You have no idea what this perfume is. It smells French...you guess. Wearing it makes you feel extremely bold and empowered in social situations, but it also makes you extremely clumsy. If you're willing to trade off tripping over your own feet for an endless supply of pickup lines and an inexhaustible confidence, this is the scent for you!
Vernal Vixen (c) brand cologne in "Strongman" - 500B - This unisex perfume smells like smoke, steel, and musk. Wearing it makes you feel extremely powerful and trustworthy. For the duration of an entire thread, your physical strength is doubled, and you may also find you're more emotionally resilient, but for some reason it makes you irresistible to cats. We're very sorry.
Ryker Records --
A Glitchborn boy with sunglasses (indoors? Really?) and an open vest is sitting in the corner reading a battered old book. Without acknowledging you, he gestures to the crates in the corner. They're full of old records! Periodically they'll change, and if you have a request he'll try to track one down for you.
(*All records are available in regular or deluxe editions, hence the price differential for alchemizing*)
Count Plays Duke - 100/250 B - A great album full of Count Basie covers of Duke Ellington standards. Alchemizing item for royalty/nobility effects.
Disco Inferno - 250/500 B - Alchemizing item for funk/fire effects, or for getting down with your bad self.
A Rush of Blood to the Head - 250/500 B - Probably the only modern album Chase Ryker will admit to liking, this Coldplay album can be alchemized for blood/Blood effects.
SPECIAL ITEM: All Things Must Pass - 2000 B - A triple LP by George Harrison, this remarkably effective set works as a hold item. Keeping it on your person halves the duration and effectiveness of any effects used against you such as poison, bad luck enchantments, mind or heart alterations, attraction charms, etc. Not effective against attacks themselves, only against any lasting effects resulting from them.
Time Out of Mind - 250/500 B - A great Bob Dylan album that can be alchemized for Time/Mind effects.
