[OPEN] Leave that old record spinning~
Who: Jason Todd robintohood and you!
What: Grand Opening Week of Descendant Karaoke Bar and Lounge
When: Week of November 28th
Where: Central City
Content Warnings: N/A for now. Will edit if needed.
[Throughout November, you may have seen posts across all the major social media platforms about a new Central City karaoke bar opening up. They even include some nice professional photos of the interior taken by Mark Bryant. Or maybe you’ve heard vague rumors in the criminal underworld about a new safe haven for discussing and doing some illicit business.
Meanwhile in Central City, the renovations of a two-storied building with a basement and an attic were being done swifter than any legally permitted construction project. The owner made sure it was good work done too.
And now at the tail end of the month, there’s a newly opened karaoke bar and lounge known as Descendant. Everyone is welcomed, regardless of their meta status or if they’re part of any guild.
Descendant’s entrance door is relatively innocuous. As soon as you step into the building though, you’re in the security check area and met with bouncers holding metal detector wands. No one’s allowed further in until they get checked. Once you check your weapons, you’ll receive a key labeled with the number of the locker your weapon(s) are in.
In a nod to Ascendant, the previous bar that attracted some of Central’s criminals, much of Descendant’s interior basic layout is similar but now with a speakeasy-esque decor. Once you walk through weapons check, you’re greeted with the first floor being an open space for mingling, drinking, and eating. The walls are visibly brick and the tables and chairs aren’t too fancy. The first floor is also where the bar is.
Further towards the back of the first floor are private rooms for guests to enjoy if they reserve ahead of time and pay extra. The cheapest karaoke rooms are simple and while the most expensive are more luxurious.
One room that makes Descendant unique is the reading room everyone is welcome to use. You're free to drink and enjoy some quiet reading time. Take a book for keeps or donate a book! Quiet conversation is welcome, but overly noisy patrons will be kicked out.
On the second floor are a couple of arcade machines, pool tables, and a stage for live performances. There are plush lounges for people to sit and enjoy the shows, or to take a break between rounds of pool.
With the exception of the reading room and the employee-only areas, you’ll hear music throughout most of the building. It’s either coming from the karaoke machines or from a separate playlist.
Whatever you decide to do, the owner and other attentive employees hope you enjoy your time at their establishment.]
((OOC: Mingle post! Enjoy yourselves. More information about Descendant is here and here, including an opt-in form for the BatFamily to spy on your character.))

Jason looks back at Mayuko with a curious expression]
Oh? What is it?
no subject
Okay, so. There's this tradition back home that businesses set a lucky cat inside to attract customers and cash. Have you heard of it before?
no subject
I think so. It's those cat statues with the paws moving up and down, right?
no subject
That's right, the figurines beckon in good fortune! So I found this one and I knew-- I KNEW-- it was perfect.
[Without further ado, she reaches behind her back and pulls out of her pocket (the smaller version of) this glorious creature. The paw does indeed wave up and down as she sets it on the table.]
Ta-da!
no subject
What? Th more swol it is, the more good fortune it's gonna bring in?
no subject
Exactly! The ones with the left paw up bring in lots of customers in particular, so maybe it can be a reminder for them to behave themselves.
[Not that that's likely to happen but Mayuko is not ashamed of trying to stack the odds in her friend's favor.]
no subject
Guess so. We kinda already have a cat so I guess they'll have to learn how to share the space with this guy now.
[Jason's imagining Sleeper's reaction to the statue]
no subject
There's a cat around? Huh, haven't seen them yet.
[They're probably adjusting some patrons' behavior on the floor. Doesn't help that she's picturing your standard feline as well.]

By the way, did you get the wildcard selections I mailed over? I wanted to make sure I had the address right.

[She pulls a tied bundle of four titles out: Age of Innocence, The Little Prince, The Maltese Falcon, and Call of the Wild/White Fang in one volume.]
These round out the other twelve, as promised.
no subject
Thanks. These are good choices, especially Falcon. We already got a decent stack of Raymond Chandler.
