When: Throughout March
Where: Central City
Content Warnings: PG-13 level violence

Jason:

[The weather is gradually warming up and moods are lifting up for people! Well, lifting up for most people. For the owner of the Descendant Karaoke Bar and Lounge, he’s just briskly working as usual. Maybe he’s being less talkative and more introverted than usual but sometimes that’s what happens when one is busy. He even sometimes still puts on a smile to make customers feel more welcomed.

But that’s assuming people are following his rules. If otherwise, then his vocabulary gets colorful as he snarls out statements like…]

Pull that shit again and your brains get splattered across the floor.

[Okay, maybe how much rougher he’s gotten this month when he’s literally throwing and kicking out belligerent patrons might indicate he’s in a certain other kind of Mood. Don’t worry. He doesn’t usually bite.

On a note that can’t possibly be related, the 4-eyed black and yellow talking cat that used to hang out at the Descendant hasn’t been seen in a while]

Red Hood:

[The Backbreakers are as active as ever in Central City. They had a few setbacks over the last few months but that hasn’t kept them down. They’re maintaining their territory. Illicit goods are still being handled. The racketeering business is sturdy. The chop shops are always having a good time. If you ask a local in their territory, they might say the gang members are also friendly neighborhood vigilantes.
The Backbreakers are Society members after all. Overall, the gang’s recovery has been okay.

So in their territory during an evening, it’s possible you might see the Backbreakers’ leader with a couple of his people outside of a dive bar.

Though the Red Hood’s helmet hides his facial expressions, the way he’s whaling at a rule breaker might indicate he’s not in the best of moods at the moment. Blood splatters on his helmet also indicate how brutal he’s being tonight. He then drags his screaming victim by the hair across the sidewalk]

It’s time to get back to basics.

[Jason snorts in mild amusement. His doppelgänger would fit into that role]

No doubt about that. Can’t really trust hired stoolies for that shit.

[levelshift]

Yeah. It's just easier.

[And makes him feel a little less alone.]

[robintohood]

Staying at his place would be a good upgrade too.

[He doesn't like to think about it but it's a strange coincidence that both Jasons wound up with more fancy homes while on this Earth]

[levelshift]

[God, what is with Jasons and that.]

Fuck no, I'm not moving in. I'm fine living on my own.

[That would be so awkward. He isn't family, and he doesn't want to pretend to be.]

[robintohood]

[Jason snorts. Yeah, he's not surprised by that]

Fair enough. You got a place to switch to just in case at least.

[levelshift]

[Damnit, Jason.]

No. That's never happening.

[robintohood]

[Jason shrugs. He doesn’t believe that but it’s not an argument worth having for now]

I said “just in case.”

[levelshift]

[Accelerator glares stubbornly. Apparently, this is a big deal to him.]

There is no "just in case." I'll make sure it never needs to happen.

[robintohood]

[Luckily, Jason’s helmet hides his amused half-smirk]

Okay, okay. If you say so.

[levelshift]

[That's a very good thing for both of them. Accelerator clicks his tongue, calming down a little.]

Whatever. I'll leave you to it, then.

[robintohood]

[Jason shrugs]

It’s fine. I need a break anyway.

[A break from many things but that’s another topic]

[levelshift]

[Accelerator raises an eyebrow. Jason had been doing some incredibly sketchy stuff when he showed up, he doesn't want to interfere if he really is busy.]

... You sure?

[robintohood]

[Jason polishes off some blood off of his handgun]

It’s been a long night.

[And he trusts Accelerator to not get into topics he doesn’t want to talk about]

[levelshift]

.......

[He debates for a moment or two, then decides to take him at his word.]

You wanna get some coffee, then?

[robintohood]

Sure.

[Jsaon looks back at the 2 goons he took along with him and relieves them of duty for the night. He then turns back to Accelerator]

Same place as last time.

[levelshift]

[Accelerator feels a little bad, but... he's also kind of selfish. He likes hanging out with Jason, even when he's doing important gang business.]

Okay, sounds good.

[robintohood]

[The goons head in one direction and Jason starts to head in the opposite direction]

So what brings you along to my neck of the woods tonight?

[levelshift]

[Accelerator follows Jason.]

Work. I still do jobs for the Society. That isn't changing at all.

[robintohood]

[Amused]

Makes sense. They’re a steady employer. A little robbery here, a little property damage there. You still working with Katherine too?

[levelshift]

Yeah. [He rolls his eyes a little.] She still has me catsitting.

[Not that he minds, but it isn't really his style.]

[robintohood]

[Jason snorts in amusement]

Well somebody’s gotta take care of the furbabies when their human needs to step out for a little bit.
