[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.))

Yeah, well we're all kinda in the same boat for now until we know more about the Confluences.
If you see any kids like that out on the streets, just let them know if you can help and more importantly, listen to them. They might not take whatever you offer at first but it's a start. The trust has to be earned.
no subject
I'll do my best, [ he promises softly, and scoots forward to reach out, touching fingertips to jason's wrist to bring his glance back up. ] Just.. take care of yourself, too, while you're taking care of them. [ he knows none of them are great at doing that, but it's worth offering a reminder. ]
no subject
Jason huffs out a soft laugh. He's not sure how much Jon knows about his history. Maybe it's just the broad strokes, including how he'll apparently come back into the BatFamily. In any case, it's awkward for Jason knowing how genuine Jon is being while Jason's also running a criminal gang and has no qualms about killing]
Don't I always?
no subject
[ which.. jon can't talk, really. he recently threw himself in front of a death ray that would have wiped out an entire island, after all. but he's invulnerable, so he knew odds were good he'd survive it. batman and his family don't have that kind of assurance.
he reaches up to fiddle with his glasses, pushing them back up his nose. ] .. I don't agree with your methods, and I don't think that's any surprise to you, but.. I think you have a lot to offer the world, and your life is important.
no subject
Jason keeps his expression and tone calm. He doesn't want to get into another argument about his methods if he can help it]
Sounds like you've dealt with the flock for a good while now.
no subject
I met him when I was ten, [ he adds cheerfully. ] He kidnapped me. We hated one another at first, he was so mean.
no subject
Kidnapping at the age of 10 however...]
He kidnapped Superman's kid? That's a hell of a power move to make.
no subject
[ his dad and bruce, tim and kon, even jason and bizarro. ]
no subject
Apparently, yeah. I hope you learned your lesson after that. A Robin shouldn't be able to kidnap a Super, pint-sized or not.
no subject
he glances down at his hands, rubbing his thumb absently over the knuckles of his opposite hand. ]
.. Tim said that a version of him is here. Older. Said he hasn't really talked to you guys. I'm.. worried about him. [ even though damian would probably scoff at the idea. ]
no subject
Yeah, I've only talked to him once so far. This was back in August. Guy seems pretty cagey, even by our standards. From what he's told me though, his universe is pretty bad.
no subject
this isn't his damian, just like ultraman wasn't his father. but.. he can't help but want to check in on him anyway. as far as he knows, though, maybe this damian doesn't have a jon. maybe jon doesn't exist. maybe they're enemies for all he knows. should he reach out..? ]
no subject
Apparently a nuclear bomb wiped out Metropolis. He didn't tell me what happened to the Kryptonians in that universe.
no subject
[ metropolis, gone. just like that? and it wouldn't just be metropolis, either. the fallout from it all would be.. terrible. horrifying. all those people.
he shudders, feeling chilled by the thought, by the pain of it. ] .. There are eight-million people in Metropolis, [ he says faintly. ] I can't-- I don't want to imagine.
no subject
I know. Just understand that that's the kind of world Damian's coming from if you see him.
