[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.))

late to the party!!

Ororo steps inside not long after Carol does, already projecting her apologies to Jean for keeping her waiting. They hadn't arrived together, but she suspects what kept them away was probably something of similar nature (there was always some sort of trouble, somewhere, that they couldn't help but help with.)

Still, Ororo has come a long way from the woman who Jean once taught how to shop. She's also been to more scandalous clubs than this, no thanks to Alison and Yukio. So she makes sure she's dressed appropriately when she arrives, and it's with ease that she weaves through the people in absurdly high pumps to find her friends. She catches the tail end of their conversation when she finally gets there, and it makes her smile turn wry.

"It's not as if we are all regularly on the same planet, Jean. That makes planning a night out just a little more complicated, I think." She sets her own dark bottle of beer on the table when she's close enough, makes sure to dole out customary hugs before taking her seat. "I'm glad you chose this place, however. There is alcohol on Arakko, but no one knows the songs I prefer for karaoke."

When Carol hugs Jean she thinks about the thoughts of their time together. The fact that just before arriving here she'd just seen Jean. It makes her think of timing, of whatever place she is and makes a note to ask in the future to figure all that shit out.

She slides into the chair as she watches Ororo show up smiling up at the two of them hugging. Of course she's been seeing her since she got here.

"Hey to you too gorgeous," she says playfully, because what is girls night without a little bit of flattery to everyone going around.

Ah!! I forgot to follow for 3! Better tracked now!

Jean quickly waves off the apologies with little more than the curve of her mouth; simple, unfettered pleasure that Ororo is here and they get to have some downtime together. Friends in one place, without an emergency to make it so rare and cherished.

There's no such thing as being late in those circumstances.

"We'll have to get up there and do it again." A look to Carol after, too. "You up for some karaoke, too?"

"Also. These—" Jean says, gesturing to several different types of sampler plates scattered across the table, only one or two of anything tried, showing she's been nibbling at them. A little bit of this and that going down their bar menu appetizers assortment. "—are for everyone."

Ororo turns interested eyes over to Carol. She is a good friend, but not one she's really gone out with for a casual get-together. Not in years, and not for something like a Coyote Ugly night.

"You must. Join us for a song or two, that is." She taps Carol's drink with her bottle, regardless of its alcohol content. "Preferably before I have too many of these, so that we will sound somewhat decent."

She has a surprisingly high tolerance though - drinking with Logan over the years, and especially recently, had certainly made sure of that.

"What are you in the mood for?" Jean would already have an inkling, of course. Ororo only ever sings soul, or power ballads. And when she's had at least two beers, for additional conviction.

When Jean motions to the plate of fried food Carol is suddenly much more hungry then she expected and snags a cheese stick chomping on it in a very un-ladylike fashion as she looks over at the other two.

"Me? Attempt karaoke... I don't know, I think I'm more of a cheerleader who will clap loudly after the show," she says with a grin leaning in on an elbow to watch the other two.

"I'm even ready to start a fan club for whatever the new band name the two of you are going with," she adds just to really drive the point home.
