Introduction

(TL;DR - The Wild Lotus Host Club is a host-club-themed Free Company that specializes in entertainment, concessions, companionship, flirtation, and fine conversation. On the outside, it looks like that's all there is to it. However, it also doubles as a band of dapper mercenaries available for hire as bodyguards, traveling partners, and odd jobs doers. >> There's much more information about us on our personal site listed under basic info! Check it out!)

 

The full story...

 

Upon entering the doors of the house located in the Goblet, you are greeted by a rush of lotus petals and cool air. Bewildered at first, your eyes squeeze shut against the onslaught. However, they do not remain closed for long because you soon discover that you're being addressed.

"Welcome, M'Lord/M'Lady. Are you lost?"

 

The speaker is a Miqo'te. He is tall for the feline race and has navy blue hair tipped in white. A feather hair pin differentiates his outfit from the crowd of others around him, all of which are in matching lotus pink patrician garb. They are all members of different races, all varying shapes and sizes, and all appear to have lived very different walks of life.

 

You stare at them, dumbfounded, only to see that the Miqo'te seems to be watching you expectantly. When you cannot muster an answer, he snickers and steps forward at an easy stride.

 

"Well, no matter. Lost or not, we welcome you to the Wild Lotus Host Club either way! My name is K'heyo Tia, and you could say that I'm the proud King of all of the hosts here."

 

The self-proclaimed "host king" now stood before you, silvery eyes scanning your person up-and-down. After a moment, he notices your unease and breaks into an easygoing grin. "Oh, relax! I'm not going to hurt you." With a limp flick of his wrist, he waved you off and gave a wink. "That is, unless you're into that...~"

 

Behind him, several of his cohorts groaned and the Seeker looked offended. "Lighten up, guys. Learn to take a shite joke," he sighed in response.

 

While the group is bickering, you take the chance to recuperate and muster up a question: "What exactly do you do here?"

 

Spinning back to face you once more, K'heyo's eyes are gleaming with excitement as if you've just told him that he won a brand new Chocobo.

 

"What do we do here?" he repeated, his tail almost wagging at the rate it was swaying, "I'm so glad you asked!" Taking you by the shoulders, the club leader begins to lead you through a series of rooms, all clearly adorned with differing themes of décor and mood.

 

"Here at the Wild Lotus Host Club we specialize in entertaining our guests with fine conversation and refreshments. We boast a wide variety of hosts, and have a broad spectrum of different personality types and interests. We even host the occasional social event!"

As you're guided along, you realize that the motley crew of uniform-clad people are following you, each bustling about preparing plates of desserts and prepping pots of Mint and Rolanberry Lassi. Now that you can get a good look at them, you realize that these people must be the "hosts" that the cat is going on about.

"But we specialize in much, much more than entertainment and socializing!" K'heyo was continuing. Whoops, you hoped that you hadn't missed much of what he was saying in your state of distraction. "We're also a mercenary troupe that takes on escort missions, odd jobs, and double as great (and stylish) bodyguards!"

 

"Bodyguards?" you ask, genuinely curious as to how the suit-bearing men and women could defend someone, yet alone wield weapons, in such ridiculous attire.

"Are ya deaf?" the Miqo'te mused, furrowing a brow, "Yes, that's just what I said." He began to gesture about himself grandly. "Whether your pet chocobo got loose or you have a gang of bloodthirsty bandits after you, the Wild Lotus is here for you! We can beat your enemies with style and look damn good while doing it!" he chuckled, "Get it?"

Nodding, you make a faint noise of understanding. A brigade of battle-ready dandies? Now it was all starting to make sense... sort of.

 

The 'host king' seemed pleased with your nod of your head and stuck his hand out towards you, waiting for you to shake it. "Good! Now that that's out of the way, why don't you stay a while? Have some snacks and unwind a little. Be our guest.~"

Obligingly, you comply to his suggestion and begin to sample a cookie off of a nearby refreshment table. It's surprisingly good. "Well, I guess I wouldn't mind staying here for a little while..." you decide aloud, your eyes gazing over all of the fine company about you.

 

"Excellent. Pleased to have you, new regular.~" K'heyo purred, half-bowing in exaggeration. You were just about to open your mouth to argue the fact that you were not intending to become a regular of the bizarre establishment, however the others cut you off when they broke out into a cheer. Resigned as you looked at all of the happy faces, you sighed and let a smile of your own slip onto your face.

 

Well, you supposed it wasn't all that bad here. Perhaps you could stay, if just for a little while...

This sounds like fun but the uniform is restrictive to high level characters... What about low level characters?

Thanks for pointing that out, Terra! Level requirements for the uniform were something that I hadn't considered fully when it comes to newer characters. I'll make an update soon with a few lower-level options for those below the item level requirement.

By the time I manage to make a character on Balmung,  maybe I'll be able to aim for the new lower level uniform then!

Awesome! We'd love to have you! ♥

Maybe you already know this, but I've personally found that the best time to try and create a new character on Balmung is to do it right after maintenance has ended. I'd always play with the character creator beforehand and save the appearance so that way I was all set for whenever a slot opened up!

Another question... I just went through the whole site application,  but I haven't been able to make my character yet, would this be a problem?

[Kurenai Hatashi]

Not at all I would say but that's up for K'heyo to say, but I don't see it being a problem. Also I'm an officer when you do make a character you can contact me if K'heyo is unavailable to chat about the FC.

As Cecillia said, there's no problem with that! I'm about to go read your application right now!
