[OPEN] Maybe not a literal monster mash

[robintohood]

Who: Jason Todd robintohood and you. Also a mingle!
What: Various antics at Descendant Karaoke Bar and Lounge during October
When: Throughout October
Where: Central City
Content Warnings: N/A for now. Will edit if needed.

[There may be some changes to the timeline now but Descendant Karaoke Bar and Lounge is still open for business. There are always people looking to have a good time drinking and blowing off some steam with a good song. It doesn’t matter if they’re ordinary civilians or some of Central City’s more... colorful characters. Just be nice to the bouncers and check your weapons by the entrance first.

To reflect the fall season, Descendant has included seasonal drinks like pumpkin beer, apple cocktails, and spiced maple bourbon.

Meanwhile, some of this month's most popular songs seem to be reflecting Halloween, such as Highway to Hell and Monsters. Or maybe you want to do a more classy number like Witchcraft? Descendant looks like a speakeasy after all. And in a total coincidence, Time Warp has also shown up on the popularity chart.

If you drop by at Descendant on a Coyote Ugly Night, you’ll find the atmosphere considerably wilder and wetter. You might’ve even already seen some of the social media posts and videos of the employees performing. They certainly look like they’re having a good time.

Perhaps you’re coming in during a more normal time. Come by for a drink. Maybe rent a private karaoke room or karaoke on stage in front of others if you’re feeling brave. There are some bar games around too.

You can always just people watch as well. Those who are especially observant might notice that some of Descendant’s customers are a bit... furtive as they keep their heads low or quickly scurry to one of the private rooms.

There’s always the reading room too for those who want a more quiet ambiance.

And then there's the very select few who are allowed upstairs in the attic apartment.

Whatever the case may be, Jason will be around. As Descendant’s owner, he’s a busy guy with plenty he has to do]

((OOC: Jason will be around but feel free to mingle! My contact information is on this journal's profile and I'm in the game's Discord server. Also feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns as well. I also have a feedback post.))

There's a lovely Shakespearean take on Jaws over there, if you haven't managed. Apparently they're working on most of Spielberg's classics. Jason and I have plans for dramatic readings of Jurassic Park and ET.

[Sometimes book club nights are really just book club, after all.]

Or would you prefer something more in the lines of a mystery?

[batinbelfry]

Not sure about Jaws, but Shakespearean Jurassic Park would be interesting.

[Also sounds very much like something Jason would go for. Drama, violence, historical...]

[definecat]

It was surprisingly well written. "Forsooth, methinks a larger vessel wilst be required." [They can't help quoting. It had been a fun evening.]

The reading room is run like the Little Free Library. Feel free to add or subtract from the collection. We don't keep anything truly valuable around for just anyone to enjoy, although there are some special editions for the true bibliophile.

[batinbelfry]

That is very Jason. I like it. Only one question remains [Or rather several questions, she has soooooo many questions.] Who are yo u?

[Is the cat actually talking or is there another ventriloquist on the loose?]

[definecat]

I am Sleeper. Part-time security, full-time cat. [Are they amused? Absolutely. Doesn't mean they're not being a decent sort of non-human.]

How do you know Jason? And should we be specifying Jasons?

[batinbelfry]

I'm Barbara and friends with Jason. Or rather, I am with one at home, I think I am here. It's a little complicated.

[As far as she's concerned they are. It's the whole different lives, different worlds thing that makes it complicated. There are so many differences between them -- the one she knows and the ones here.]

[definecat]

Another Gothamite, huh? Definitely seems like an interesting city. Really good night-life, but I don't think I'd want to eat the fish or the rats with all the toxins that I've heard about getting dumped willy-nilly.

[Yes, they know a fair bit about that world, even if it isn't theirs.]

It's a bit odd the first time you deal with alternate realities. Sadly, you do get used to it.

[batinbelfry]

[The night-life comment gets a curious look that turns into a laugh.]

Yeah, only drink bottled water as well if you find yourself there. So, this isn't your first time going through this?

[definecat]

Personally, I don't have a lot of experience, but my family has had some interesting things happen, and the multiverse is old news back home. It's like time travel. You really don't want to have anything to do with it, but you'll probably have to if you stick around long enough.

[They give a little shrug, but it's not really their problem.]

My 'home planet' was created as a prison for a dark god. I'm glad to have been able to grow up on Earth. Any Earth. Although I've visited some nice planets elsewhere in the neighborhood.
