[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.))

No one made you do anything, not even him. What you do will line up what he does but that doesn't mean you're not your own person.
no subject
You... want to do good. Want to help people. I respect that. Even if I don't agree with... your methods.
[Understatement. But they're having a calm talk. He knows how she feels. At least, some of it.]
no subject
[His voice is still calm and he still doesn't regret his choices. He's only stating things in a matter-of-fact tone]
no subject
She wants to-- to-- argue. Not, not argue, fight. Because her body has always been able to say what words can't. But Jason wouldn't understand. Wouldn't... hear.
Cassandra looks away. Clenches her fists. Forcefully releases the tension in her body.]
Okay.
[Words are always harder when she feels the need to move.]
no subject
And... I'm glad you met Bruce. From what it sounds like, it was really good for both of you that. Bruce has always been terrible about letting other people help him.
[Jason is still angry at Bruce for so many things. He'll probably stay angry at him for the rest of his life. But Jason knows he can't invalidate everyone else's experiences with him either.]
no subject
Jason's anger is always-there. It's more-there when anyone talks about Bruce. She doesn't understand it all. Jason's anger. But she sees it.
She is always-angry too.]
Are we... good?
no subject
[There's still a bit of awkward tension on Jason's end. He's not going to change the way he works as the Red Hood anytime soon but he could at least do better with his siblings somehow]
