[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.))

"Most of them don't really remember it, I don't think." Not the regular people, at least. Sure, they might sort of know something's happened, but not really what. "That said, they do seem to be a bit...better? It's reminding me a bit more of Bludhaven than Gotham these days."

"That is good to hear. I'll take that for Central over the riots. But... Blood-haven? That is an ominous name. Is that close to Gotham?"

Her knowledge of cities in the United States is very limited. But she knows Gotham is in New Jersey. And it's where Jason is from.

"Blüdhaven. Germanic, with an umlaut over the U." He draws it out so that she knows what he's talking about. Since diacritic marks aren't always called the same thing in other languages. "Not sure how the name came about. There are various stories, of course, but most people just call it 'Haven. There aren't that many places in south Jersey that have that name, so it's not like it's going to be confused with any other cities."

"I imagine it wouldn't be! Thank you for clarifying."

Mayuko looks towards the bar. There's no one on it at the moment, so the back is visible with its spirits and assorted decor.

"There is one question I've had about the area-- where is that one from?"

She gestures to the fuzzy orange mascot perched--looming--from one of the alcoves. One year of patronage in, and no-one has explained Gritty to Mayuko. The shame.

Dick glances back over his shoulder and laughs, reaching over to pick up the plush mascot. "Gritty? Believe it or not, he's not from Gotham. Or 'Haven. Or Jersey at all."

He offers the plush over to Mayuko, if she wants to hold it. "Gritty is from Pennsylvania, which is close to Jersey. But we kinda adopted him because the character's attitude is VERY Jersey."

Mayuko accepts the plush, brushing the... beard...mane? Aside to see the team symbol on the jersey. It's like Big Bird and Elmo had a teleporter accident.

It's probably diplomatic to keep that thought to herself. She returns the plush back to Dick. Those eyes, man-- little bit creepy.

"Ah, I see. No doubt he is intimidating in... person.... We have so many mascots in Japan but what most of their personalities are like, I couldn't say."
