[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.))

Right. Probably one of those small, alternate realities.

"Small." Sure. They already come in all kinds of shapes too.

Feeling out of your depth?

Is that why you have a Batbar? Which probably comes with its own hidden Batcave?

Ha. Funny.

[It's absolutely a BatBar with hidden features but Jason probably won't admit it anytime soon]

Metaphysics are more of a Lantern thing, aren't they?

[ called it. they really are predictable. ]

I guess? I was the only Lantern for a while. I did a little of everything.

Figures. Don't suppose you dropped by in Gotham once or twice?

[Jason's still finding it weird he would ever team with a Lantern while he's Red Hood]

I have, but Batman's pretty protective of his territory. The thing with Donna was a favour.

[ well. sort of. kyle would pretty much drop anything to help donna, even if they'll never go back to the way things were. his heart is solvent when it comes to the people he loves. ]

[Jason nods, listening. He's completely unsurprised about Bruce's attitude]

Nice to hear Donna's still around.

[They had an awkward beginning but Jason did come to enjoy his time being teammates with Donna and the other Titans]
