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.

[Jason doesn't flinch when the older man moves in closer. It's an intimidation tactic. He knows not to give in. It'd be showing weakness]

I know just as well as you do.

[Or at least, that's what Jason's been telling himself. Most of the time he tries not to think deeper on all the traumas he's experienced and the scars they've left on him]

You only decided to settle.

[reneger]

I ain't settled.

( plays at it on occasion. definitely had been, before. shit's a little different now. )

Nor am I leashed.

[robintohood]

Could've fooled me. Got a nice big tower for yourself. Idling away your days. Even showing up for the family. Seems almost nice, isn't it?

[Jason knows he's coming dangerously close to hitting even more sensitive topics but his self-control is keeps whittling away the longer they talk]

[reneger]

I'm giving you three weeks.

( it's--low, steady, even as his expression pinches tight. )

And a warning. Then I'm gonna take down your shit gang an' what you've built up in Central. Every safehouse, every stash, every lackey.

[robintohood]

Cute. Not afraid of pissing off them then? Can’t imagine your little rampage will make good dinner conversation next time we’re all together like this.

[Jason’s fists are balled up but his voice doesn’t rise]

Jealousy never ends well you know.

[reneger]

You're the one who said he could handle himself an' didn't need anyone. Show me. I've given you plenty to go off of: a time table, a goal, what I'm gonna do. Stop me without any of 'em to back you up. And if you can't?

( a grin, but it doesn't reach his eyes. )

I was moving in on Central anyway.

[robintohood]

[Jason narrows his eyes to a glare and responds without hesitation]

Deal. Maybe you’ll be less like the old man after all.

[reneger]

( junior knew what he was doing. and jason's held back long enough.

fuck it. his fist raises, arm swinging in for a rough right hook. )

[robintohood]

[Jason knew what was going to happen the moment he mentioned Bruce. He catches the other man’s fist tries and tries to twist his wrist and push him off]

Like I said. Settled.

[reneger]

( they're done. they made it this long. fuck it being diana's place too, she'll be fine, they're not breaking anything aside from each other. fingers catch his fist, but jason's just using it to turn into junior to try and shove an elbow straight into his nose. )

This feel settled to you?

[robintohood]

[Jason makes a loud grunt when he’s hit in the face. He’s forced to let go and puts a hand to his nose and mouth, feeling a bad bruise forming]

Fuck off.

[reneger]

( he feels the impact, and it's--it's not satisfying, not like how he wants it to be, but that's fine. jason'll get over it. they're not in neutral territory, there are people all around, and junior--isn't fighting back enough to justify going further. so he raises both his hands up in mock surrender.

starts off towards the door. )
