[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.))

The mascots weren't the prize she had her eye on in her dealings with the NHL. Fun fact, Sophie stole the Stanley Cup once. She doesn't remember where she left it though.

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 curious about Sophie’s background, given her accent.

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."

It's so nice to actually be herself for a change.

"Jay Todano," he says. The alias is what he usually uses as the Descendant's owner. "You new here?"

He still remembers fondly of when he temporarily was part of his middle school’s stage crew. Unfortunate he had to secretly expose two other kids for manipulating report cards.

Theater has always been her first love, even if her stage isn't a traditional one.

Seemed to be a favorite of her team as well, which is a highlight. Or at least it impressed Parker.

“Good tastes,” he smiles. “Very meaty parts. Playing Willie must’ve great to explore especially. You work more on the American side of the business or elsewhere?”

One day. That's a goal that still won't die. Hopefully it's for a con so she's actually good in it.

Not that Jason wishes Alfred hadn’t been part of the Wayne family for as long as he has been.

It was possible all of the Robins’ quips and senses of humor were partially influenced by Alfred.

The true purpose of the Descendant was to gather interesting intel from Central City’s underworld so new visitors were generally welcomed.
“You might have a nice time here and meet some fun people.”
