[OPEN] Summer lovin’~ Had me a blast~

Who: Jason Todd [personal profile] robintohood and you
What: Various antics throughout August, including aftermath from the Downburst event
When: Throughout August
Where: Central City
Content Warnings: N/A for now. Will edit if needed.

Descendant:

[Now that Mechanima and the Society have lifted their control over Central City's borders and the teleporters between various American locations are properly working again, it's easier for visitors to come by again.

As usual, Descendant Karaoke Bar and Lounge is open for business and now hoping that they can have more customers again. Civilian or criminal; temporarily depowered or not; people will want a drink and/or blow off some steam.

This month's popular songs include hits such as It's Not Right But It's Okay, Escape (The Piña Colada Song), Don’t Stop Believin’, and Summer Nights.

The Coyote Ugly Nights were successful despite previous travel restrictions so now these events are happening at least twice a week, depending on which employees are available to dance or do extra security. The social media posts advertising the business and showing off performances are still in full swing as well.

Or you can just drop by during a normal day/evening. As Descendant's official owner, Jason can be found doing things like bartending, serving particularly close attention to the VIPs, or just in the reading room taking a break.

Mind Descendant’s shadier customers.]

Happy(?) Birthday (In-game date: August 16th):

[It's Jason's birthday and it… might be a mixed bag for him. Previous birthdays have wildly varied from depressing, bittersweet, and for a short while, actually happy. This year things with his family could be better but they could also be worse. There's also no doubt that this year he has people he genuinely cares about and who would care that it's his birthday. It gets confusing having so many ambiguous feelings.

In the hopes of minimizing potentially awkward conversations, he's taking a day-off from Descendant, sleeping in a little and perhaps going out later in the day to treat himself to a new book and his favorite foods.

Maybe you can catch him when he's out and about]

Fine? I've only had the one!

[Look, she is just checking to make sure! She grins back, a little sheepish.]

It can be a general, "happy to be drinking with you" cheers! If there's something you have in mind, please feel free.

You don't know what "my usual drinks" are. Only what I've ordered here.

[She's had lots of usuals over the past decade, thanks.]

But fine--I have only seen it in the store. Haven't had any until now.

[And he is not being gracious about it! But he does lift his glass and offer:]

To learning new things?

[He may know about toasts, but the dancing is new.]
welcome_summer: (A very light "ping!")

[personal profile] welcome_summer 2023-09-30 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
[C'est la vie. Mayuko accepts, looking down into the tankard.]

It's not as... dense as I was expecting. Nice for a summer drink. Probably be nicer warmed and spiced for the winter... oh! Where is your book... sorting pile?

welcome_summer: (Chizu-nee smile)

[personal profile] welcome_summer 2023-09-30 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, to learning new things! Cheers!

[She clinks her glass to his and takes a gulp. UNFORTUNATELY Jason must've checked the order and given her a lighter drink. The killjoy! But it still has honey notes so Mayuko doesn't catch on.]
unkindled_madness: (what does it matter...?)

[Sephiroth takes a slightly more restrained drink. He's not terribly familiar with alcohol, but given his size and alien metabolism, it takes a lot to affect him.]

You're enthusiastic.

[personal profile] welcome_summer 2023-10-05 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
You bet I do! And as much fun as it would have been launching them over the city limits, I decided to wait until things got sorted out.
welcome_summer: (Triang-relations?  What's that?)

[She tears off a portion of the flatbread, checking out the next person up on the bar.]

Usually, I take my drink and chill in the reading room. This is the first drink out I've had with a friend in... a while! I've missed it!
unkindled_madness: (who me?)

[personal profile] unkindled_madness 2023-10-05 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Reading room? He will have to check that out later.]

And you chose me?
welcome_summer: (It's like I'm in school again)

[personal profile] welcome_summer 2023-10-05 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Let's be real, it's the best room in the place and Mayuko will be glad to show it off. Mainly because she supplied a good number of the books there.]

Yeah? We're friends. Plus you've been here before so you wouldn't have gotten lost on the way.

Maybe for Christmas.

[There's bound to be someone with a catapult that she can borrow in Sunset Falls.]

Where would you like them? It's better I set them in the review pile rather than half-damp you.
unkindled_madness: (curiosity)

[personal profile] unkindled_madness 2023-10-05 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
...I don't think it should surprise you that I'm not used to being thought of for such things. I've only ever been drinking with Loki.

[And that's like... 3 times.]

[She flaps a hand at him.]

Mmm, oh, you know. Some sci-fi, romance, some coffee-table entries. Lots of different mysteries, nothing gruesome. Broad swath of nonfiction travel and light history, and nature books.

Even if they don't fit in the collection, they might entertain you for a spell.
welcome_summer: (Like a song from a memory)

[personal profile] welcome_summer 2023-10-06 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
To be honest... my circle of acquaintance in Sunset Falls isn't that broad either.

[The folks at the library and the staff at City Hall are good people. Reliable. But not really "friends"]

I was surprised you agreed, though. Especially with-- all this. Surprised, but glad.
unkindled_madness: (curiosity)

[personal profile] unkindled_madness 2023-10-06 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I like to experience new things. And... it could prove useful.
welcome_summer: (A very light "ping!")

[personal profile] welcome_summer 2023-10-06 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't want that!

[Mayuko tsks and polishes the mead off. The bar is a literal hideaway from Sunset Falls, and as nice as it is to watch everyone and enjoy the atmosphere, she comes here more to decompress.]
welcome_summer: (I cried when we broke up- TEARS OF JOY)

[personal profile] welcome_summer 2023-10-09 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
[She clicks her tongue.]

Yes, I'm sure! You will be, too, because winter is coming, and you'll get sick prancing about damp all night.
