About our farewells

Hello. This is Virgofall, player of owner/hostess Piane Cebe.I will spare the details, but to make a long story short, running this venue has sapped a lot of my energy, and I need to spend that energy elsewhere, so given the options I had, I decided closing was the best option.Related to this, Piane will no longer be taking hostess work in the final weeks.

What will happen to Brilliance in-character?
For the unaware, Piane may be the face, but she's not the person who truly owns the place. That would be her older sister, Scoelle, who's reculsive, but the person signing most of the banknotes. Scoelle will likely shut its doors - what she wanted out of running Brilliance, she ultimately got - but will continue to keep the building maintained. The property will be staying with the Cebes IC, and Virgo and Tech OOC.
What will you do with Brilliance's Discord server?
I'll keep it up afterward, though after some time it will likely no longer maintain its boosts.
What will you (Virgo) do in the future?
Don't know yet. I'll likely still continue to roleplay in the wild, and you're welcome to say hi, interact, etc.! (Or make arrangements, but you need to be the one to reach out first, and Piane will not act like the hostess you know/knew.)
If I do return to venue ownership/operation in future, it will likely NOT be in the host club scene, or a similar people-as-product business.

I want end this venue's timespan on a bright note if I can help it, so we can all leave with pleasant memories.Thank you all, for walking along me on this road - as bumpy as it may have gotten at points. Whether or not our paths cross again, I will ask only this: shine as best you can.

You only have one life, so make it count.

About

There is a room with brown stone trim and red walls, with two blue circle seats that have flowerpots in the middle.

Borne of a former gladiator's final gamble to give herself and her sister a place in the ruthless city of Ul'dah, one high-spirited viera woman and one sardonic keeper man open the doors to a resplendent stage...


Out-of-character, Brilliance was started in July 2021 (as Club Brilliance) from the desire of Piane Cebe's player to provide an accessible, mature but not adult-rated roleplay space for others, simply for a change of pace.Although this venue has taken hiatuses and had its hiccups, it continues to stay open, making its mark on Primal DC - and hopefully beyond!

Full Drink Listing

Love Potion: (Frozen Spirits + Rolanberry)
A blend of ice, rolanberries, bananas and other fruits, with just a shot of vodka - a thick, chilled drink to soothe from the sun’s heat while heating up the night.
Personal drink of Piane Cebe.
Long Island's Iced Tea: (Lemonade)
Created by the roegadyn bartender, Long Island - a drink made with vodka, tequila, light rum, triple sec, gin, and a bit of cola to give it its color. Often served in a high glass, it looks very little like alcohol and can be hard to taste what's within, making it a somewhat deceptive drink.
Personal drink of Gwa'ir Eptco.
Ocean's Kiss: (Pixieberry Tea)
A bit of citrus, a touch of mint, add some blueberries, and some tequila, you have yourself an Ocean's Kiss. Giving you plenty of sweetness with that touch of tart hidden within, this alcoholic drink leaves you just wanting a little more each time, like a teasing kiss. Served in a typical tequila or margarita glass.
Personal drink of Coral Adair.
Winter's Hearth: (Hot Chocolate + Pearl Chocolate)
This sweet yet mature pick-me-up is a mixture of hot chocolate (comprised of yak’s milk and the finest heavenly kukuru powder) and red wine (mulled with heavens lemon, La Noscean oranges, and umbral-aspected spices). Served beside a premium, white chocolate bonbon.
Personal drink of Kiht'sae Bloodmoon.
Sunset Lotus: (Pineapple Juice)
Capturing the essence of a Hingan sunset is no easy feat, but this drink will make you feel like you’re in the trade city of Kugane. Combining the traditional sake with lychee syrup, pineapple juice, grenadine, and the import known as “vodka,” this drink is sure to ease you into an evening of merriment, as any good sunset should.
Personal drink of Delphrine Yomena.
Zedahvius' Shot Shock: (Espresso con Panna + Masala Chai)
A shot of Zedahvius' homegrown dark roast espresso, piping hot topped off with whipped cream liqueur, served with a side of Masala Chai to compliment the cinnamon base of the coffee. A strong kick to start a long day of discovery.
Personal drink of Zedahvius Kazalau.
Shark Bite: (Cunning Craftsman's Syrup + Blood Currants)
A reimagining of the dangers hiding beneath the sea! It brings a sweet and sour profile fighting for dominance with every sip. The drink contains a double shot of spiced rum, blue Curacao, and sour mix. For the final touch, some drops of red grenadine are added on top to simulate blood in the water in this icy cold drink.
Personal drink of Magi Karp.
Stardust: (Orange Juice)
A caramel and apple cider mimosa with a brown-sugar coated rim, this drink gives one a feeling of floating into space...
Personal drink of Raven Starguide.
Black Lie: (Tsai tou Vounou + Mors)
A La Noscean Pinot Noir is infused with Doman black tea and Gridanian rose petals, adding a complexity to the wine's flavor.

Coffee Old-Fashioned: (Triple Creme Coffee)
A modern take on an old classic, taking the beloved cocktail and blending it with cold brew espresso for an exciting twist. Topped with an orange peel.
Personal drink of Leveret Vidant.
Heaven's Gate: (Matcha + Jellied Compote)
Frozen rolanberry mochi chunks infused with sake in a sweet matcha tea.
Personal drink of Isao Amaboshi.
Bloodmoon: (Grape Juice)
The Bloodmoon is a deep red drink that tastes strongly of sweet candied apples and berries. The glass is chilled to give the drink a cool, smooth finish, and the rim coated in a layer of brown sugar. Drink slowly; with its high alcohol content, you'll get hammered if you drink too fast!
Personal drink of Senali Kavala.
Cobbler Cocktail: (Pixieberry Tea + Rolanberry)
A sweet and creamy cocktail drink, made with many assorted fruits from Momo’s family farm. Made with fruit nectar, heavy cream, and vanilla vodka, with frozen fruits mixed in with the ice the drink is poured over.
Personal drink of former hostess T'amomo Tyamomo.
Northern Wind: (Heavenly Eggnog)
A cold, icy classic with rum-based coffee liqueur and vodka on the rocks, finished off with a rich heavy cream that's white as the Coerthan peaks.
