[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.))

( good bye to larry, who now lives in the garbage can and can be ignored. he's unimportant now. jason does give the dumpster a good kick, before he's turning to walk back towards the club. )

You wanna wrestle to get people to throw money at us?

[robintohood]

[Jason slams shut the dumpster before following his double]

Two well-built guys getting all sweaty wrestling each other while in tight wet crop tops hits several kinks for people.

[reneger]

Huh.

( he knows that. he knows damn well how it'd appeal to others, and their similarities also help. instead of giving a real answer though, he's just--looking over junior for a moment, then snorts. )

Well, you'll get there one day. Well-built.

[robintohood]

[Jason knows damn well his older self is purposely trying to piss him off. Trying to irritate him in all sorts of ways big and small. The worst part about it is that it usually works. So he can't help but react at that dig too]

Yeah, yeah. Seems like plenty appreciate my scrawny ass.

[reneger]

You're not terrible.

( not in that sense, anyway. jason takes a step in towards junior. to shove against his shoulder. )

Bulkier than Timmy still.

[robintohood]

[Jason shoves back]

I've managed plenty so far.

[reneger]

( they're not even back inside yet. junior shoves, and jason--turns into him to squint at him. )

You haven't beaten me once, brat. You sure you want me to publicly humiliate you?

[robintohood]

[Jason's temper begins to flare up again]

It'd be worth it.

[reneger]

If you insist.

( he's going to reach for the back of junior's very small shirt, to try and curl his fist into the fabric. )

How hard do you want me to go?

[robintohood]

[Jason glares at his double]

Now or when we make a show of it in front of people?

[reneger]

I'm not fighting you here.

( he's dragging junior back inside, thanks. if they're doing it for show, he's doing it for show. )

[robintohood]

Fine.

[It was his idea after all. He tries to reel back his temper again]

At worse, light bruising. Ripped clothes are fair game and would probably be better for the customers.

[reneger]

You gonna keep your mouth shut?

( because they both know how these fights keep escalating. neither of them can shut up. )

[robintohood]

As long as you keep yours shut too.

[It's too easy for one to trigger the other. As he lets himself get dragged back to the bar, he pokes at his double's chest]

Wouldn't want any blood on each other.

[reneger]

I'll work on it.

( but he's--tipping his head down, to look at the finger poking at his chest. )

You sure? 'cause I'd just love to break your face again.

[robintohood]

The feeling's mutual but we know there's a time and place for everything.

[He still has no regrets in saying his double sounds just like Bruce]

[reneger]

Uh huh.

( they're in the bar proper, which means it's the perfect time for jason to find a nice wall and shove junior right into it. )

[robintohood]

[Jason gets shoved and for a second, his temper flares up to want to punch his older self again. Then he reels it back in as he remembers this is supposed to be a show and not yet another one of their real fights. So instead, he opts to grab a fistful of his double's crop top and shoves back.

The customers begin to notice and start to stare. Some are intrigued while others are more nervous on if this is about to be a fight]

[reneger]

( cute. they're playing a game, here, and it's one that jason's relatively familiar with. maybe not with his double, but it could be worse. junior shoves, and jason takes a step forward, into him. until they're almost chest-to-chest, and his smarmy grin's just inches away from the other's own.

murmurs soft enough that it stays between them, )

Don't forget - you did ask for a public ass-kicking.

( he's waiting. waiting for junior to flinch, waiting for him to reach for a punch, for a good enough response to justify throwing him into the bar itself. )

[robintohood]

[There's a flash of a glare and it's another tiny indicator of how much Jason wants to actually hit him. He stands his ground, still chest to chest with the other Jason.

But it's true. He bought up the idea in the first place.

While still looking at the other Jason, Jason grabs a water pitcher from the closest table and pours the water and ice over the man's head.

The crowd gasps and there's some laughter now]

[reneger]

( the water drips down his hair, flattening curls against skin, and jason's--grinning, wide and fierce. his tongue pokes out from between lips to lick at the water dripping down his face, before he's raising a fist up.

doesn't hit with his full strength as he tries to slam it straight into junior's gut. )

[robintohood]

[The crowd gasp as Jason coughs from the hit. Just because the punch wasn't at full strength doesn't mean it didn't hurt. He stands back up chest bumps his double closer towards the bar]

[reneger]

( cute. jason takes a step back, but he's raising a hand to try and curl his fingers into junior's hair in the same breath. )

You should really learn to shut your mouth. ( it's more context for the room around them than junior himself. if he manages to grab hold of junior, he's going to twist them around, to try and shove him face-first down against the bar. )

[robintohood]

[Jason grunts as he gets dragged and he tries to twist free from the other Jason's grip. The red crop top gets teared in the process.]

[reneger]

( that was a perfectly good crop top, thanks. it rips, and jason looks down to it for a moment, then grips on harder onto junior's hair and yanks. )

I know you can do better than this.
