[OPEN] Maybe not a literal monster mash

Who: Jason Todd [personal profile] 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.))

"David, can you please work with me here? The language is mutable. The rumor mills are not, and, yes, I'm at the mercy of what you say to my coworkers. They will absolutely roast me for anything you say." Oh, not the busboy. It's who the busboy's game of telephone will eventually reach, namely Dick and Jason, that is the real issue. "You didn't have to bring me anything. I thought I said that."

"Language is indeed mutable, but I am seeing a wonderful man," he says with a smile. "So accuracy can be useful."

Coworkers roasting him wasn't David's concern really.

"You said that. But as Bart noted, we're a bit alike. And if I said something like 'I'm eating enough' I would know that I'm lying. It's the wording, you know?"

"That's why I self-corrected. Really, I'm less worried about them suggesting I'm seeing you, and more concerned that they're going to report on everything else."

Things like needing casserole delivery - because that's how it will be perceived - lead to assumptions exactly like the one David already (accurately) made. He hates having to come up with reasonable excuses, and it's so much harder to get them believable when the other person has taken his measure. "Do you have an alternate wording?"

"You could try honesty," he says with a soft smile. "And eating properly. Though I'm a hypocrite to suggest that."

He needs his boyfriend to remind him of that sometimes.

"I'm like the Washington Post: accurate, but cultivated." He doesn't quite consider it editorialization - he's not opining; he's curating. "Sometimes, I get caught up in reading and work. I've always had tunnel vision."

Which he's learned to use to escape from thinking about other problems. Again, curating. It's not any less true abridged. "What did you make?"

David chuckles at that. What a hilarious thing to compare oneself to.

"Tunnel vision has been a shortcoming of mine too. My boyfriend has to chide me all the time."

As for what he made, he taps one of the casseroles. "For you, picadillo beef casserole with a corn-scallion biscuit topping."
