[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.))

Jason grunts when he hits the floor but then quickly uses his own legs and snatch and trip Tim.

“Not bad,” he says.

He grins back, staying down for a moment just to catch his breath. "Same to you."

Jason’s pleased with Tim’s effort so far as he sits up.

“You ever pulled that on the golden boy?” He asks.

"Yeah," Tim says as he sits up, too, taking the quiet break to snag his water bottle again. "He liked it, too."

“Good. Keep up,” he says, grinning. “Another round?”

“Why not?” He asks, returning to the watchful waiting he’d started the first round with, only this time he seems to be waiting for Jason to throw the first punch. Metaphorically and/or literally.

As soon as Tim confirms, Jason charges forward and seemingly winding up to do a left hook on Tim. It’s not a serious fight and Jason’s more interested in having Tim burn off some energy and possibly some anxiety as well.

It might be a left hook, but Tim's suspicious, and while he prepares to dodge it, he's also ready to change tactics abruptly at the latest sign that Jason's feinting.

At the last moment, Jason switches to doing a roundhouse kick towards Tim and well aware there’s a chance Tim will counter it.

Because he's expecting it, Tim manages to just avoid it before countering with a jab at Jason in turn.

Jason’s stature allows him to absorb the hit. He then grabs Tim’s wrist and throws to him to the mat again.

Tim doesn’t quite avoid the throw, instead twisting his body to soften the way he lands. Once on the ground, he blinks up at Jason and decides that actually he’ll stay there for a minute longer.
