Rêves Errants

About Rêves Errant:

"Rêves Errant" means 'wandering dreams,' and that's what this homey place is designed to serve.

Found just outside the Rhapsody Freehold, in the Lost in Time Market, and built on the site of the former Rêves à Vendre, this haven is meant as a welcoming home in the Dreaming for wanderers among the Fae, Kinain, chimera, and Bygones. It offers inexpensive (or free, to the indigent) crash space, food and drink, and a lively and welcoming common room that encourages storytelling by the fire, singing, dancing, and all manner of creativity and camaraderie.

• The peace will be kept by the staff. Put aside all conflicts at the door -- this is a peaceful space.

• Anyone who cannot afford a meal or a bed, please speak to staff. We believe strongly in the Right to Rescue, and we care for our own, and we promise to be respectful and discreet. (Please note that taking advantage when you can actually afford a meal or a bed will result in you being barred for a period of time; repeated attempts will get you kicked out for good.)

• To fulfill the charitable purpose of our inn, we also run an exchange of new voile or crafted, barterable items for meals and service among local merchants as well as Dross. We hope to keep a small stock of clean Voile and other necessary items for Kithain or Kinain in need. Similar items from the Autumn world that are needed can also be found upon request. New Chrysalids eat, drink, and sleep for free until they find a mentor.

Menu

The menu changes from day to day, but there are usually about a half-dozen options offered, plus specialties for Kiths with rarefied tastes. The Sluagh Salad with its artfully wilted greens and delicate slices of rotting carrot and softened mushrooms is well-regarded, as is the Nuts N' Bolts, a chili base of meat and beans mixed with washers, screws, nails, and other small bits of metal for flavor. Raw meat is available for more predatory Pooka as well.

More mundanely, there is usually one stew, one hot soup, two types of sandwiches, some sort of seafood fresh-caught, and a hot meal like meat loaf or pot pie available, as well as the usual burgers, fries, and grilled cheese. Drinks include hot and cold options: coffee, tea, soft drinks, juices of the day, faerie-brewed beers and faewines.

Desserts change daily, but usually include muffins, scones, croissants, and miniature cakes. All desserts, teas, and baked goods are provided by A Spoonful of Sugar in Prospect, CA.

Performances:

Near the hearth is an open area used as a stage. Entertainers who come to visit are encouraged to stand up and share their skill, whether it be storytelling, music, sleight-of-hand, dancing, or other pursuits. A sign off to one side notes, "Tips for entertainers are encouraged!" If you want to sing for your supper, the staff will often swap food or lodging for skilled performers.
