Who: Bruce Wayne/Batman batsymbol and others
What: a halloween-themed housewarming
When: end of october
Where: primarily central
Content Warnings: TBD but let's just say Bruce being Bruce is always likely

It's Friday October 27th when this housewarming shindig happens at the townhouse in Central he's recently purchased for himself and with it being so close to Halloween, he decides to decorate it a little. Or maybe a lot. He's still trying to get the hang of this whole Bruce Wayne thing. Either way, the lower floor of the five-story townhouse is decorated for the spooky season and the one floor he'd prefer people to stick to since he's not the only one who lives here. There's food and refreshments available with something hopefully for everyone and if you're in the mood for something a little more spooky for a drink, there's this little guy lined up along one of the tables to be enjoyed, the flavor being a tart pomegranate with a touch of sweetness to it. Yes, it can also be alcoholic and yes, he has someone stationed there to ensure those of age to drink are the ones taking the alcoholic version of that. On your way in or out, don't forget to say hi to the concierge for the night and feel free to take your complimentary pumpkin bucket filled with candy he has for guests. Don't worry about checking the candy for trackers. It's not like he would ever do such a thing. 😇 Happy Housewarming Halloween. ooc notes: just a stupid little housewarming mingle thrown together where bruce makes an attempt to Do Something for his kiddos and friends he has here. Diana also lives within the townhouse and so friends of hers are welcome to stop by as well if she'd invite them. whoever the kiddos want to bring along with them are also welcome to stop by but please stick to the first floor where the shindig is or else bruce is going to be Disappointed aka i'm still figuring out the rest of the floors.

[It’s not so much that Jason wants to spend more time with Bruce as it is he wants to case what the townhouse’s interior is like.

Underneath his usual brown leather jacket, he’s also wearing a Wonder Woman costume. Though he had to get a gladiator costume and had to make modifications to it like removing the sleeves and recolor the whole thing, he believes it was worth the effort. He even got the red boots to match.

Come talk to him. He’s likely to be found by the food or near the stairs, thinking about how to sneak up to the floors above]

[avatarfortruth]

[ ... ]

I'm flattered.

And now I feel a bit underdressed.

[ Diana is not in costume. She is, however, sporting a Descendant-branded t-shirt along with her tiara, bracelets, jeans, and the ever-present lasso. ]

You look wonderful.

[robintohood]

[Jason laughs and looking rather proud of himself]

Thanks. It’s nowhere as good as whatever gets made in Themyscira but I tried to get the most important parts right at least.

And you got great tastes in shirts so I say you’re dressed just fine.

[avatarfortruth]

I think it will do nicely, so long as you do not suddenly find yourself battling a cyclops.

[ In which case she'd step in anyway, so. ]

I'm glad you came.

[ For herself, but even more so for Bruce. He wants to get to know them better, she knows. ]

What do you think of the place?

[robintohood]

Not bad. The place hilariously matches the homeowner. It’s almost too on the nose.

[He hasn’t realized yet that Bruce actually decorated]

[avatarfortruth]

Well, it doesn't look like this all the time.

[ Regardless of how Bruce had made it seem as though the decorating was her idea. ]

And my floor has very few seasonal decorations.

[ Did Jason know she was living here? He does now! ]

[robintohood]

[A surprise Bat! Such a rarity. Jason raises an eyebrow]

“Your floor?”

[avatarfortruth]

Yes. Two up from this one.

[ So behave, please, Jason. This is Diana's home, too. ]

I have to say, it's very comfortable.

[robintohood]

[Huh… Jason didn’t think Diana and Bruce’s relationship would be at that level already. On the other hand, better her than Talia or Selina? For Jason, it’s surprising because it seems as though the two are on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to certain things. But then again, perhaps there are some differences with this Bruce that Jason hasn’t realized yet]

It’s a good space for city living. You both picked out the place?

[torchbearer]

That is . . . a choice.

[ like. why. ]

[robintohood]

[Jason smirks]

Thanks. It really brings out my thighs and biceps.

[torchbearer]

Your only redeeming feature.

[robintohood]

Awww. Love you too. No fun costume for you tonight?

[torchbearer]

Careful, he might hear you.

And I dressed as Spike Spiegel. You know, Cowboy Bebop?

[robintohood]

Cute. Missing the cigarette though.

[torchbearer]

[ kyle merely grins and raises his hand. a cigarette appears which he places upon his lips. ]

You sure about that?

[robintohood]

Ha. I stand corrected then. Too bad you can’t have a corgi alongside you too.

[reneger]

( junior's in a modified costume meant to look like wonder woman's gear, and jason - well. matches, even if he hadn't intended to. it'd been more to fuck with everyone else than anything aimed at junior himself.

ah, well. he's not going back to change now. so instead, he's taking slow steps up to junior from behind him, slouching over a bit once he's close to murmur low: )

Bet I can use the lasso better than you can.

[robintohood]

[Jason rolls his eyes. Ugh. God. Of course they would wind up picking the same costume]

Bet I can use a sword better.

[reneger]

That ain't a bet you want to make.

( given jason's fairly confident he could take junior's pointy toys and shove them straight into him, which would be a really painful way to learn he's not better at slashing at people than jason is. wouldn't even be the first time, would it? )

What's the score at currently? Three to zero?

[robintohood]

[Darkly]

Only for now.

[Jason knows he shouldn't start more fights with his double but he can't help but talk back and defend himself]

[reneger]

You think you're gonna catch up to me? 'cause I've got years on you. An' a hell of a lot more experience. You figured out your post-Robin training all on your own, didn't you? I got the League of Assassins sending me off to the best of the best. An' all the years after I'd spent fucking with B, working with 'em, an' everything in between.

( his grin turns--darker, because he knows this is junior being defensive. that he's going to work himself hard until he figures out how to take him down. that his stubborn streak works out for him often enough that quitting almost never feels like a viable option. )

You're not gonna win, 'cause the only way you will is if you really go for it. An' you won't, 'cause you know if you really hurt me, it'd leave you without them again.

[robintohood]

[Jason just barely stops himself from taking a swing at his double. It's only because they're in Diana's home that he's trying to hold back]

I don't need them. I've been fine on my own for years.

[reneger]

( they're in bruce's home that diana's opted to move into - she's around, close enough that he knows if he were to throw a punch, they'd at minimum get her stepping all over them again. given they've got the kids flitting around, including tiny tim, jason's significantly less willing to throw the first hit. just the first one. the rest that follow can't be blamed on him.

doesn't mean he won't still open his mouth. )

Yeah? Prove it.

[robintohood]

Still here aren’t I? Took over Gotham’s underworld by myself. Established myself here by myself. Not bad for a street rat and a two-bit thug.

[He knows the other Jason is trying to get him to throw in the first punch in a place that’ll get him in a lot more trouble than it’s worth. He’s trying to not give him the satisfaction]
