[OPEN Mingle] Happy Anniversary and Happy Holidays!
Who: Mingle post! Jason Todd 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.))

no subject
Maybe he's getting soft, but he's a little annoyed.]
'Suspicious' is putting it lightly. These things are everywhere. I take it normal American bars aren't usually like this.
no subject
Everywhere in a public setting is highly suspicious and irregular.
In general, having them everywhere is strange because someone would have to have good access to this place to do it.
[He frowns as he pulls up his computer.]
Wow, that is a lot of signal activity for a bar.
no subject
A normal bar, yeah. I wouldn’t be surprised to see something like this in Big Mama’s place, though, what with the whole, illegal bloodsport betting ring thing.
[He taps his foot against the ground, thinking.] But this is Jason’s place, right?
[He trusts Jason, or he thinks he does. He seems like a nice guy.]
no subject
Anyways. Illegal bloodsport betting right. That sure was a collection of words Leo just said.]
...................
[Probably more important is what Leo says after that, and with Donnie's surprise it's quickly clicking in his mind. Right, yeah, Jason is a crime lord so a place being bugged shouldn't be that surprise, but it's not as if he makes that part of his life public.
He looks between the two of them, his expression reserved.]
I should go tell him.
no subject
Yeah.... That's...kind of weird.
[He looks at the little device again, frown turning thoughtful before he closes his hand around it. There's a brief, faint golden glow that flickers between his fingers but it could easily be a trick of the light. If no one knew any better. Smirking, Donnie sets the little thing down and starts tapping at his computer.]
Probably a good idea. Meanwhile, I will just... There, that should do it. And probably draw attention eventually but I've basically set up a virtual deadzone in our vicinity.
no subject
[He'll give him a slap on the shell, grinning. He's still really curious about what's going on here, and maybe attracting attention isn't the best idea, but he feels better if no one is listening in on them - even if all they'd get right now is their definitely very good singing.]
no subject
[He isn't serious, if whoever set these things up is an enemy it'd only be putting an even bigger target on Donnie's back. Not that the three of them couldn't handle a fight, but why make things more difficult?
He gets to his feet, looking around, and will head off to look for Jason.]
no subject
I'm tempted to but then we might spook whoever's set things up.
[Or the whole attention thing. He glances over as Accelerator gets up again before looking to Leo.]
Well, guess in the meantime...
no subject
Back to it?
no subject
Back to it!
