Coming across a small town, you've decided to stop, rest, and maybe even enjoy yourself.
You're looking for a tavern that might relieve you of that dry, parched throat with a nice beverage. Within minutes, you're walking down Old Crescent, a narrow dirt and clay road, the dirt having been gently packed down. There are some grated storm drains at regular intervals that grant access to the sewer system. Near the end of the road, a sturdy-looking wooden building stands, a trickle of people constantly moving through the front doors. It looks promising, so you approach.
A wooden sign above the double doors swings slightly in the gentle breeze, reading: "YonStore!" And if you enter:
The ceiling is unusually high, and the amount of wood used to build this place seems immense. And then you notice the strange fact that the interior is way too large to fit, judging from the outside view of the building, without the use of magic. There's a dining hall that has several large split log tables, fit for up to twelve people each. Off to one side is a spiral staircase, and you're not sure what they lead to. There's a decent number of people of every sort here. And everywhere you look, there is something new and vastly different from the last thing. It feels like a great big chaotic combination of every business in existence. A bit of a sensory overload, to be honest.
A large, noticeable sign hangs a bit away from you, with the big letters spelling CHECKOUT. And a little further from that, you spot a bar, with a sizable group of people drinking and laughing. A quickling wearing a sleek black suit is behind the bar counter, standing on a tall stool.
Note: Yep, I'm attempting to start a tavern! No idea where I got this sudden energy boost from, but it's here!
This whole thing is still a work-in-progress, so forgive me as I make any changes to lore or anything. And if you want to be a mod, well, let me know, I guess.
I just want this to be a place where people can roleplay, explore, fight, or whatever the heck your heart desires (There are rules though, yes). There is much more than just the store; It's a whole town.
Rules:
1. No PVP without permission from both people playing the characters. If that is agreed to, then PVP may occur outside, but no such fighting may happen inside the Store itself. If you do end up fighting in the Store, you will be... punished >:D
2. If you wish to have an encounter or something similar, let's talk about it over in PMs and I will see if I can run it.
3. Please do not use overly vulgar language (such as repeated swearing or the f%&@ word). I will give you one reminder if this rule is violated.
4. If an argument gets out of hand, there are always PMs to talk about it so it doesn't clutter up the main thread. But just do your best to be respectful.
5. Please keep things appropriate and go easy on any gory details or any brutal actions. This also includes 18+ scenes or content (Fade to black/suggestive scenarios). We are not aware of the age of thread participants or how comfortable they are with it, so please keep things down and be mindful of these kinds of things. If you and other players would like to do things like this, please take it to a PM.
6. Please go easy on quote chains for ease of mobile users. If someone has very long chains, please let them know in a respectful way.
7. When speaking OOC, structure it like *this*.
8. Please put the name of an X-Men character in your first post to show you've read the rules :)
9. Have some fun!
If there are any questions about anything at all, ask here or PM me.
(Credit goes to Drummer and Overkill for some of the rules. And like every tavern creator on these forums because you're all so inspirational.)

It is April 29th as I type this, just wanted to give a huge thank you to Drummer (and now Dutch!), for modding so much and being so friendly and patient, and for everyone who posted so much on here, and are still posting and roleplaying. It's so awesome to me. So thanks :)
A dwarf with a long, well groomed beard walks into the store, on his back is a backpack with lots of music supplies strapped to his back. “I like x-men.” He says randomly. I want to find camping supplies.
Has anyone seen Gambit lately? I heard he might have passed through here. Nice place you have here. How is the ale? Please tell me you have some meat pies that aren't bear.

A tall, brown-haired tiefling walks into the tavern. He is light skinned and wiry and has pitch black, off-putting eyes. He has curled horns, similar to a ram, and a long tail. He seems a bit off, though.
He looks around,
”Nice place, Yondor. I didn’t know you had this much money!” He says quietly

People bustle by, and the tiefling is hardly noticed.

*yes sorry, my bad.*
”X-Men? Oh yes they are, terrifying individuals, actually I should have a story about them somewhere.” The dwarf replies to the dwarf child.
He starts investigating what the shop has for sale.

A couple people seem confused when they walk through you, but once you're invisible, no one really notices anything. Except for anyone with truesight.
A wiry male goblin is sitting near the bar, cutting an apple into bite sized pieces, but he notices you, sharp eyes boring into your own, even after you turn invisible.

*Nah, you're good*
"...Weird. Whelp, bye!" They run off, almost stumbling into a barrel full of hand-crafted canes.
The Store is not laid out like your typical Walmart, with straight aisles and everything. It just looks like an expansive street market, but indoors. (The time period is the classic D&D medieval era, but there are definitely some random exceptions)
As for specific items, almost anything you could think of is here, if you can find it. And the whole place includes small food stands, and the bar. There are employees walking around, wearing black collared shirts with YS on the back. They seem happy to help anyone, if needed.

He goes up to the counter clutching some rations, a bedroll and a tent. “How much would this be?” He asks the cashier.
