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.

[ 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.

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]

[ 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.

[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.

[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.
