[OPEN Mingle] Happy Anniversary and Happy Holidays!

Who: Mingle post! Jason Todd [personal profile] robintohood is also available in a separate top-level comment
What: Festivities at the Descendant Karaoke Bar and Lounge
When: Week of November 27th and throughout December
Where: Central City
Content Warnings: N/A for now. Will edit if needed.

[By god, the weird (and only sometimes shady) New Jerseyian karaoke bar in the middle of Michigan has made it. The Descendant Karaoke Bar and Lounge has hit its first anniversary. To celebrate, there are special discount rates for customers and even deeper ones for the repeated loyal clients.

Because Descendant’s birthday is also at the very beginning of the winter holiday season, the whole place has been decorated to reflect the occasions. There’s the usual colorful tinsel, wreathes, Santa hats, and fake holly plants but there are also special additions the Descendant’s staff did. There are hidden Santa Gritty figures and decorations throughout the building. More blatant are the Christmas trees throughout the building adorned with Gritty baubles. Instead of an elf on a shelf, behind the bar on the top shelf is a Gritty figure next to the maneki-neko figure Mayuko gifted Jason last year during Descendant’s grand opening. Both figures are there all year round but for this time of the year, they’re rocking Santa hats too.

As for the Descendant’s owner, his presence is oddly sparse despite his business hitting a milestone. Jason’s still monitoring daily operations and is still making sure tasks are being properly delegated but during these last weeks of the year, he’s not at Descendant as often as he usually is. He can still be contacted though, namely if there’s an emergency.

Meanwhile, if one were to carefully eavesdrop on some of the Descendant’s more shady customers, one might hear that the Backbreakers gang and their leader, the Red Hood, might be having… problems holding their remaining territory. The rumors have been going since mid-November after the mysterious bombings to several of the Backbreakers’ safehouses.

So come in from the cold and celebrate, be it Descendant’s birthday or a winter holiday. Have a holiday drink like a spiked eggnog, a gingerbread martini, or a wassail. The karaoke machines are full of holiday songs to sing to as well.]

((OOC: Mingle post! Go have fun, folks. Jason’s own top-level is right here. My contact information is on this journal's profile and I'm in the game's Discord server. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns as well. I also have a feedback post.))

They're idiots if they do.

[They really shouldn't be doing that, especially given they know the situation with the Sisters. He just sighs.]

How's your damn shoulder?

"I'm sure he appreciates your gift."

She's sure it must be a heavy sacrifice, if the commentary she's heard from other patrons about "Jersey" are anything to go off of. Flyers games in Devils territory is no joke, from what she remembers.

"Are the Flyers good?"

[He's not about to judge either Jason for that fight, not when he understands why it happened.]

I didn't do anything important.

It's versatile, I guess. But I don't usually use it like that.

[Accelerator pauses as he thinks for a moment. Only one case is coming to mind, and it wasn't really patching her up. It was a lot more than that.

His expression hardens and he looks away.]


... Only once.

[There's a pause where he debates just going along with that, saying 'yes,' and dropping the subject. It'd be a lot easier, even though it'd be a total lie.

His eye twitches and he drags his hand down his face, exasperated with himself.]


No. She's fucking fine, actually. Basically a one hundred percent recovery.

Oh wow, okay. Doubtful. "Good luck with that?"

[Because of him, but saying that out loud means admitting he did something good, and we can't have that.]

It doesn't fucking matter. Don't expect me to do that again.

[That is complete bullshit, if either of the Jasons are ever bleeding out again he will one hundred percent help them out.]

[Accelerator shrugs.]

I wasn't expecting to come across you two. I can't say I'm surprised at all, though.
levelshift: https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/73296157 (hmmm 2)

[personal profile] levelshift 2023-12-07 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeahhhhh, they both told him enough to draw his own conclusions.]

Is that something you two do regularly?

[He's not judging or anything.]

"Godot, huh?"

Mark slips in with his standard mug of cocoa and settles down into a nearby seat. "That's an interesting choice. First reading or latest?"

[Accelerator feels a little skeptical, but he isn't going to argue on that point.]

But you didn't on that night.

She smirks. "I suppose some things are universal. Where did they find him, anyway?"

He's clearly a mascot of some kind, but she's not entirely sure for which sport from his current garb. She doesn't think Christmas has changed that much between worlds.

"A bit. More the Stanley Cup than anything else."

Does she mean the game or does she mean the trophy? She'll never tell.

"But I haven't kept track of the current standings - or mascots, it seems. Though knowing that Gritty is from Philly is the crucial context I was missing."
