[OPEN] Summer lovin’~ Had me a blast~

[robintohood]

Who: Jason Todd 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]

[Sephiroth nods, collecting his drink in preparation.]

I'm certaily amenable.

[welcome_summer]

Right this way, then!

[Mayuko collects her own, and gestures Sephiroth to follow her. She stops at the bar to place some money in the general tip jar before navigating confidently in the direction of the reading room.]

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth follows along into the reading room, where his expression brightens... as if he doesn't work in a library. Still, this is his idea of what a public hang-out should look like!]

...it's quite nice.

[welcome_summer]

[Mayuko herself relaxes once she enters. The reading room is insulated from the festive atmosphere outside, to a degree.]

Jason has been building up this collection from the start. Anyone can take books to borrow or keep, and anyone can leave some.

[She doesn't hide the pride in her voice.]

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth sets his drink down atop one of the tables, tilting his head as he skims a few of the titles.]

A collection in constant flux, then.

[welcome_summer]

Just so. There's common courtesy to not take too many, and most hold to that.

[unkindled_madness]

I admit, I'm a bit surprised. But I suppose those of us drawn to this room rather than the dancers would have to have a particular appreciation.

[welcome_summer]

That, and it wouldn't do to draw the proprietor's attention by ransacking his book collection.

[unkindled_madness]

Oh? You don't think one could pull of a successful heist?

[welcome_summer]

One could, yes.

[Mayuko's pocket space technically fits the equivalent of three travel-backpacks.]

But that would be a very, very, very poor choice on their parts.

[unkindled_madness]

I don't believe one could consider it successful if there are consequences.

[welcome_summer]

There could be success in the short term. But there's always the chance the thief could slip up, at one point or another.

[unkindled_madness]

Well, I don't intend to become one.

Not of this establishment, anyway.

[welcome_summer]

That's all I could ask.

[Now for a book to go along with the drinks.]

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth plucks something off a shelf.]

I'm sure I can follow the rules of exchange, should I find myself desperately coveting one.
