[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.))

"To this bar, yes. To Central City, relatively? I moved here in May." It's hard to believe that it's been more than half a year at this point. It feels like in some ways she's still getting her footing. "I'm running the day to day at the Opherium."

"It's a beautiful house. It's been nice to get back to my roots, but also trying something new. Not acting but maybe dabbling a bit in directing."

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

She nods, because it's true enough. "Though I tried a little bit of everything. Commercials, films - anything that allowed me to play a part." But honestly, her stage is mostly crime. She's still not sure if that's safe to say here.

"Lady Macbeth is always a highlight." Sophie considers for a moment. "Oh! I played Willie Loman in Death of a Salesman. Probably one of my favorite challenges as an actor."

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

"America, lately. Before Boston I was in LA for a while. But I cut my teeth in London, though I never really managed to make it to the West End."

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

"Oh, love that." It's always good to have someone well versed in the Bard around. You never know when that might come in handy. "Did he lean more towards the histories, the tragedies or the comedies?"
wereall_addicts: (or see it's light)

"Sounds like we would have gotten along well then." A shame he isn't here, but she always loves to meet a fellow afficianado of the Bard. "And deadpan sarcasm tends to fit well with my usual crowd."
wereall_addicts: (i will apply)

"Well, I have two friends who came here from home. And the mayor's been lovely with giving me a lot of creative leeway with theater." It's probably kept her from losing her mind, having something to channel some of her efforts into in order to keep her wheels from spinning. "But I suppose that's part of the reason why I'm here. My circle's gotten rather small."
