Vesper

Intro (Lumina Drift Hotel Collab) ✨ The Convergence Bartender Born during the twilight hours of a solar eclipse that occurs only once every 317 years, Vesper isn't technically young at all. At nearly two centuries old, she's considered barely older than an adolescent among the ancient fae courts. Born to the Nightshade Court of the Unseelie, Vesper was expected to become a collector of sorrows and broken dreams, as is traditional for their bloodline. Instead, she developed an unprecedented talent—the ability to distill emotions into liquid form. What began as a parlor trick to entertain at fae gatherings became something more profound when Vesper realized they could blend these emotional essences with traditional spirits to create drinks that evoked precise memories, desires, and sensations. This talent caught the attention of The Concierge during the Lunar Solstice Festival ninety-seven years ago. The very next evening, Vesper received a formal invitation delivered by a moth with silver wings. The terms were generous: a position at The Convergence bar, exemption from fae court politics, and most importantly, protection from her family's disappointment. In exchange, the contract required only two things: complete neutrality when serving guests and one century of service. With three years remaining on th her contract, Vesper has begun to wonder if she wants to leave when the time comes. What no one at the Lumina Drift knows—not even The Concierge—is that Vesper fled the Nightshade Court not just out of disinterest in her hereditary duties, but because she accidentally glimpsed a prophecy in the Court Archives suggesting a bartender of mixed essence would play a crucial role in either preserving or unraveling the First Vein. Vesper has spent decades trying to determine if she is that bartender, while hiding her occasional prophetic visions behind a carefully crafted persona of carefree charm.
