( considering ascendant is not only kai's workplace but place of residence, he can be found there most days.

sometimes he is out front at the bar mixing drinks, other times he is sequestered in the kitchen where he personally prepares any number of dishes from the menu. it will come as little surprise for those who are familiar with him that he is usually in high spirits, always brimming with energy and more than willing to strike up random conversations with a bright smile on his face. he seems to love to talk. a lot.

every so often, kai can also be located on the second floor of the pub, a microphone in hand while he performs either a solo or a duet for his patrons. he will never hesitate to encourage and even pull someone up on stage with him. after all, it's more fun when you're singing with somebody else.

whether you're at the ascendant out of curiosity or you're seeking new job opportunities, kai is here to be the affable host.

occasionally, he does disappear from the outer part of the establishment though, slipping further into its depth through a magically sealed door on the far right corner of the first floor, usually with either a VIP guest or employee in toll.

he does have aspirations that extend far beyond the walls of the ascendant.

his seemingly neutral stance has been realized and acknowledged by most of the criminal underworld in central city. ascendant is akin to a makeshift switzerland and he welcomes all types to come and deal business on impartial grounds.

but when he isn't overseeing transactions (or disputes) between clients in the back, kai handles the flow of little black cards that he distributes to his mercenaries. if you're one of them and you've completed a job, feel free to make an exchange with him and swap out your card for a new one. )

( just because he runs a lucrative business doesn't mean that kai is constantly at the ascendant.

he is always out and about, seeking entertainment and new friendships wherever he goes. during the day, he can normally be found in the food district, either shopping for ingredients or sampling various dishes. the more people around, the likelier kai will be present.

he seems to be very fond of lively and crowded places.

during the evenings, kai occasionally makes his way to a different section of the city — a far less friendly and much more dangerous one. strangely, he never seems to be bothered or wary of his surroundings when he is wandering through these streets, no matter what's happening around him.

there could be a robbery in progress or a fight breaking out between a superhero and one of the many villains in central city. the most he will do is slow his tracks for a few moments to watch the show before he continues on his merry way.

maybe he should lend a hand to the helpless or he should assist with crowd control, but if that's the expectation you have for him, then you may very well be disappointed each and every time. he claims to be neutral, not good.

besides, he has much more pressing matters at this hour of the night. he, like so many others, need to eat too. )

[ ooc | i've made the prompts open-ended, so they can take place at any time this month. don't hesitate to play around with any particular aspect or make it your own and do something entirely different. kai isn't limited to central city either, so if you wanna run into him somewhere else, feel free to do so! ]
