open-ish.

Who: Bruce Wayne/Batman [personal profile] 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. πŸ˜‡ 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.

Β» food, drink, and candy;
[ Ororo is here at Diana's invitation. She wasn't aware that it was a Halloweeen-themed party, so she regretfully isn't in costume, but she does find the spread of food and drink amusing! She patiently takes her time to pick her way through the platters of themed food, picks up a glass of the funny looking drink, and gets to the bucket of candy. She lifts a brow in surprise as she peers in, eyes glowing. ]


Hmm. Is there a party game with the candy, do you think? [ She sees very faint traces of electricity in there, but she can't tell why just yet. ]

Β» a second to breathe;
[ Diana knows a lot of people from home (or places like her home) and Ororo has to excuse herself from the gathering crowd eventually. Even if she can't get outdoors, she'll find a nook near a window and crack it open, heedless of the autumn chill outside. She closes her eyes and lets the air rush in for a moment, before she flashes an apologetic smile to the nearest partygoer. ]


I hope you don't mind the chill. I just needed some air.

[ Tim is making an appearance at the party, ostensibly in the name of family togetherness. He's dressed up as whatever knockoff version of Subzero exists in this universe.

(Maybe he's also here to help Jay to kick rocks because he's annoyed at B, too, but hey. He won't take that out on guests.)

He smiles and shakes his head at the statement.
]

I used to run around New Jersey in the winter in short sleeves. I'm good.
agoddessonce: (right...?)

[personal profile] agoddessonce 2023-10-23 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The costume has her wondering a little, but hey - she isn't a stranger to ridiculous outfits. ]

Why would you do such a thing? Have you some resistance to the cold?

[ Well, it is a costume party. It's hardly inappropriate. He will take off the mask, though, once it's suddenly a conversation. ]

Yeah, I think it's called being 15 and an idiot. I used to stay out late playing Manhunt til all hours and sneak back in the bedroom window.
agoddessonce: (stars)

[personal profile] agoddessonce 2023-10-26 11:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ororo can appreciate a face more than a mask! She also appreciates the manners, so he gets a warmer smile from her. ]

I see. And were you caught often? [ During the game or sneaking back in, it's hard to tell which she means. Maybe both. ]

[Jason’s wearing a Wonder Woman costume when Ororo opens the window. He doesn’t seem bothered by the chill though as he’s also wearing a brown leather jacket]

It’s fine. Don’t want a goth place like to be too comfortably warm.
agoddessonce: (straight whiskey)

[personal profile] agoddessonce 2023-10-23 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ororo has seen Diana enough times that seeing this young man in her costume makes her lips twitch. She has to lift her glass to her lips to hide the rest of her smile. ]

You sound like an expert on goth places. Is it your preference?
robintohood: (And a soldier)

[personal profile] robintohood 2023-10-23 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah. Just used to them.

[Jason had observed Ororo as one of the people Diana hung out with at Descendant so presumably, she’s trustworthy]

My home city literally has β€œgoth” in its name.
agoddessonce: (at a glance)

[personal profile] agoddessonce 2023-10-24 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Does it? Is it like those American cities... New York, New Jersey... [ She trails off, frowning. ] I would say that I can't imagine a place advertising themselves as a goth anything, but I suppose everyone has their quirks.
robintohood: (I'm a loser and a winner)

[personal profile] robintohood 2023-10-24 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Gotham likes to be the exception to a lot of things. There’s still plenty of old buildings to match the name too. There’s also a city that’s actually called Bludhaven and surprise, surprise. It’s not the most friendly.
agoddessonce: (found you)

[personal profile] agoddessonce 2023-10-24 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I can at least respect a commitment to certain aesthetics. [ Ororo smiles dryly. She's seen similar places, but not usually in cities in Earth. Places in other dimensions tended to be very... themed. ]

Well, have you been to cities that aren't so committed to living up to their own name? Barring the ones in this realm, anyway.
robintohood: (With a direction)

[personal profile] robintohood 2023-10-24 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I’ve had my share of travels before coming back to the States. Can’t say Paris was always the city of love and it seems kinda rude to call Dublin a dark pool.
agoddessonce: (teasing)

[personal profile] agoddessonce 2023-10-25 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's the second time she has to hide a smile behind her drink; it's rude to laugh! Those are real places! ]

Quite rude indeed.

But what did you do abroad, if you don't mind my asking? You seem like you travelled quite a bit.
robintohood: (To lose this higher)

[personal profile] robintohood 2023-10-25 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Self-education. I felt lost and figured seeing the world could help me figure out my next steps.

[Jason's response is said with ease. It's not entirely a lie. He needed to travel and learn what he wanted to learn. However by then, he knew he wanted to fine-tune his skills as a criminal and be a better vigilante than Bruce]
agoddessonce: (inquiring)

[personal profile] agoddessonce 2023-10-25 12:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ororo hums thoughtfully. She's had to do the very same - sometimes she had to see the world, or travel the long way home, or just make a circuit around her homeland when she needed to just reconnect with who she was, what she could do, who she was fighting for. ]

Did it? Help you figure out your next steps?
robintohood: (I have my flaws)

[personal profile] robintohood 2023-10-25 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
It did. It gave me clarity seeing so many different places and different ways people live.

[And solidified that his plan was the right plan]

How about you? You travel a lot?
agoddessonce: (flattered)

[personal profile] agoddessonce 2023-10-25 12:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes. You could say that. Mostly for... work, I suppose, but I also like to see different people and different places, whenever I can manage it.

[ So she's been around the world, and then beyond it. Her commute these days - or, well, when she'd left - had been inter-planetary. ]

Of course, it helps a little when one can fly.

robintohood: (I'm a hero)

[personal profile] robintohood 2023-10-25 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jason laughs]

Yeah, I can imagine. I had to travel the old-fashioned way. No flight or superspeed for me.
agoddessonce: (right...?)

[personal profile] agoddessonce 2023-10-25 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I don't mind planes. I haven't flown one myself in a while, but they are not so bad. [ Mostly because a lot of the ones she'd flown were made of fancy Shi'Ar tech. ]

I think it is the airports that I do not like. And how other planes tend to feel claustrophobic, sharing all that air with so many people... [ She frowns faintly. She doesn't fly commercial because she can just... fly herself, yes, but also. It always felt strange. ] Some people say that travel is about the journey, not the destination, but I could do without that part of the journey, I think.
robintohood: (I'm a loser and a winner)

[personal profile] robintohood 2023-10-25 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jason snorts]

Yeah, I've never heard of anyone really enjoying commercial flights unless they were in first class. Even if you're not claustrophobic, it can get too stifling in there.
