[OPEN] Leave that old record spinning~

Who: Jason Todd [personal profile] 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.))

[She snorts]

It most certainly did. Especially with Powers ousting Wayne as most powerful man in the city. But they didn't show up. Until- one day, someone did.

[She gives a shrug that's only a bit exaggerated.]

Who knows? My friend had a theory, but she stopped looking into it. I never considered it my business to know who he is.

[She shakes her head vehemently.]

Definitely no urban legend. He's saved pretty much all my friends at least once- that includes me. [She shudders involuntarily, remembering the sewers. It's not any more comforting knowing now that it had been Terry searching for her that saved her.]

Cape and tights are way retro. He has a sleeker suit.

Oh, I hadn't mentioned? He's Batman. Sidekicks Robin and Batgirl. I've heard that Batman is here, too. And Robin definitely is.

[She looks at him oddly.]

You don't remember the Joker's display a few months back? His hostage was Robin.

Probably for the best. It's not like there was a shortage of people watching who could counter his plans. I wasn't one of them, but I had to watch anyway, in case I could contribute anything. The Joker was before my time, until he turned up again, a month before I was dragged here.
