A Lominsan favourite courtesy of one Baderon Tenfingers, imported and now made available for the curious Ishgardian locals.

1900 AWST(GMT+8) / 2100 AEST (GMT+10)

Fiction Night: Session Zero

Join us in the Kafka Bar & Lounge for a night of creativity in Kafka's first ever Fiction Night session, where we sit together to brainstorm, create and share impromptu short stories with fellow creative writers. Our maiden voyage into the night will begin with a free-for-all creative session, where we are bound only by yourself—and the maximum character limit of the game's chatbox.

FROM THE PROPRIETOR,

Kafka was first conceptualised because the proprietor (that is, yours truly) really wanted a place named Kafka.It is named after the writer, the literary piece, and that one cool lady in that one other game, and it takes after the personality of all three: quiet, suave, and sitting at the more absurdist end on the spectrum of common sense.Beyond that, I'm unable to give you anything else that would intrinsically elevate Kafka from among other similar venues of its kind. Kafka's main purpose is simply to be yet another space where you can just sit down, talk whatever, and enjoy the company of others who are like-minded enough to be visiting the same place as you do.What makes such a place special, I find, is the company that you make during your time in it. And so I hope that if you are reading this, you are about to be part of such a company, if not already in it.Welcome to Kafka — life's pretty hard, but at least you're a vibe ♡
