The Slamazon - Cassidy Calaway

They really did a number on me last night, huh? Maybe I've been going at it too hard…? A blonde belle found yawning to herself in the mirror before she lifted her shirt up at the side, as her golden gaze focused on the reflection before her it was difficult not to noticed the now rather blackened bruises which were decorating her ribs, and even more so resist the urge to wince a little bit as she twisted against them to feel how deep the injury seemed to lie.
Least they were kind enough to spare my pretty face, hm? Feeling some small sense of solace in the fact that she doesn't think she's broken anything through doing so, Cassidy Calaway eased her shirt back down and then looked to her face with a small sense of relief to see that she's not carrying a busted lip or a black eye as she did so, before she slid the hem of her garment back into her waistband with the expectation that it would hide the injury well, even if it was also likely to conceal her epic midriff as well. Sacrifices had to be made on days like these, unfortunately.

Duty calls, after all~ Stepping clear of the kitchen and shaking herself out to try and throw off the discomfort or at least get her blood pumping, the lass lifted her hands up and smooths out her hair as she marched into the lunchtime rush of her little corner of mugs and mirth, and felt a sense of comfort in the feeling of familiarity as she saw a series of their usual patrons sipping on drinks and huddling over their meals.
Let's see now~ Shaking her head and sighing as she continued to scan the crowd and waited to see someone whose service isn't quite yet satisfactory, the flaxen fox smiled as she spied a soul who seems to be sitting at a table waiting without the relief of either food nor even drink, and then grabbed a menu as she began to strut over to them.

“Hey there darlin', you new to the place?” Cutting across a space which had been well trodden by her heels at this point in her life and flicking her hair a little as she greets them, habit compelled Miss Calaway to cock her hips and push out her chest a little in spite of the mild discomfort it caused her, and naturally she flashed them a grin as well for that matter, as was also custom.
“So, what can I do ya for, hm~?” Offering out the menu with that same smile and hooking her thumb in her belt, the towering temptress tilted her head as she waited expectantly for them to take the item, before asking if there was anything she could grab them now. I mean, they were new to the place or her eyes at least, but people tended to enter places like this with one thing in mind, right~?

	Inspecting the 'damage' after yet another rough night, Cass can see how hard she's been pushing herself lately, and laments it a little. Happy to note her bruises are relatively easy to hide, she tidies herself up and heads out to lend a hand with the lunchtime rush at the bar. Making her way over to someone who has yet to be served, she greets them ina friendly fashion and offers them a menu.

Jan #1

In the beginning, the young writer thought that he would get used to the uproar his girlfriend in her cheetah form caused anywhere they went, but the more places they visited the more annoyed he was with her new habit. Otherwise, their relationship was great, but this little thing was getting on his nerves as despite being quite famous in his own right Jan preferred some level of anonymity. That´s why he made all his books under a pseudonym after all.

Well, it was probably too late to cry over the spilled milk, the young writer thought to himself as he walked from his little ship towards the nearest inn. Not that he would be hungry, but a week on fish and dried food made him carve a proper meal.

As they arrived at the entrance Jan reached for the doorknob, but Lin was faster. Standing up on her hind legs, she put her front paws on the doorknob and pushed down, opening the doors and startling most of the people inside.

“It´s alright, it´s alright, she is here with me and very tame!”

Jan rushed inside trying to calm the situation as he noticed a few of the patrons reached for their weapons.

“Sure, she is…”

A man behind the bar growled.

“But she won´t go on the table.”

The writer grinned.

“Of course she won´t no animals on the table, did you hear him?”

He asked the cheeky cheetah hoping she will go back into her human form, but she only snorted and disappeared under the table.

Taking his jacket off, the young writer sat down and waited. Not for long as in a few minutes young and fairly attractive waitress arrived at their table offering food.

“I…”

Jan started but seeing a competition Lin poked her feline head out of under the table and growled her warning.

“Oh, come on…”

Jan sighed.

“Be nice to this young lady she is going to bring us food. And as for your question…”

He turned to Cassidy.

“I don´t know, after a week on sea I take anything…what´s your specialty?”

I've heard of people bringing the dog into the bar, but this is something else…? Even a soul as brazen as this blonde bombshell forced to give the situation a second glance when she saw herself being scrutinized by a wild animal, Cassie found her head tipping to one side slightly as she looked toward a rather majestic predator of the plains making themselves comfortable in her bar, but didn’t spend too much time questioning it too much.
“Hey handsome, who's your friend~?” Guessing that the patriarch she was so proud of would have laughed it off and enjoyed the novelty and for that reason doing much of the same, all too quickly was the waitress wearing a wicked grin and flashing a wink at the lanky moggy she found within her rowdy establishment, and arch a brow toward the companion with whom they had arrived.

“I've always thought it was an overhead suplex, but I reckon you're thinking of the food?” In a way that sheer strangeness acting as something of an icebreaker between the pair and especially so with how Miss Calaway seemed to take such a thing in her stride, that smirk of hers remained as she answered his question in a manner just as tongue in cheek as the queerness of their introduction, but got down to business as politely and professionally as she could soon after.
“Don't tend to have much in the way of fancy, but I'd guess something off the grill might do you and your date~?” Confirming as she did so that they were more a place for fantastic fixings over finery when all was said and done, few people stepped into this bar with an expectation of haute cuisine but the place prided itself on making sure that bellies were full and appetites were satisfied one way or another, and so if the man before her and his feline friend were happy to indulge something likely high in cholesterol and ever more so enjoyment they were likely to be in for a treat, at least that was what she thought from where she was standing, right~?

	Thrown for a moment by the cheetah, Cass ultimately takes it in her stride, and requests an introduction. At the very least the cat acting as a nice icebreaker, Cass cracks a joke as he asks about her specialties, and suggests something from the grill.

Jan #2

The young writer watched the waitress for a moment before he burst into laughter. First one in a very long time, which by itself seemingly rubbed his cat companion the wrong way as she silently hissed in Cassidy´s direction.

“Is that so? I was guessing you were more of a hurricanrana person.”

He grinned, patting the cheetah under the table, who looked as if she wanted to jump at the waitress´s neck any minute.

“And you relax a bit. I know that you didn´t have many opportunities to visit places like this before but she is a waitress. Smiling is a part of her job description.”

The cheetah narrowed her eyes, moving out from under the table, which by itself caused a stir among the local patrons, and walked around the woman, giving her a rather disdainful look. She then jumped on the chair next to Jan, with nearly supernatural elegance, even when compared to other big cats, sitting down and wrapping her tail around his arm in a possessive gesture.

“If you say so.”

She purred in a distinctively feminine voice forcing a sigh out of Jan´s mouth, only for him to refocus on Cassidy again as she mentioned they have a grill.

“Cheeseburger!”

Said Jn with the look of someone who was starving for one way too long.

“Double cheeseburger with extra bacon, please, and French fries, copious amount of French fries!”

Lin, still keeping her Cheetah form gave him a strange look, then looked at the waitress, then at Jan again, whom this time noticed it.

“You don´t have to diet because of me.”

The writer smiled, making his girlfriend smile as well.

“Well, I´ll take the same please, just, make it a normal cheeseburger and a normal amount of fries please.”

Suddenly remembering her manners, Lin gently bowed her head while placing her order.

“That's certainly a spicy number, but nothing quite seems to deny a guys pride like having a gal send em flying overhead?” The brow of the blonde lifting for a moment as her patron showed himself to be at least enough of a fan of her 'art' that they might trade a name or two, Cassidy shone with a smile at the gesture and found herself wondering just how much he seemed to enjoy the spectacle given such a snappy response, and couldn't help but bob her shoulders and brag because of that.
“Ha, your friend here gets jealous when pretty girls smile at you, hm?” Seeming to overstep her bounds a bit if the response of the pretty kitty was anything to go off, the lashes of the lass batted a couple of times as she listened to her guest chiding his feline companion, and she questioned whether she should take such stated disapproval for some form of compliment or something.

“That's a new trick…?” Afforded little opportunity to dwell on the matter however as another display seemed to steal the show, Miss Calaway could only cock her head as the cat seemed to not only speak up but also climb into a char as well, and for a second she found herself stunned by the strangeness of what had occurred.
“Though, I guess you ain't some old dog though, right?” Adapting quickly however as any who ran a half way decent 'open to all' establishment would have, though she might have wanted to spend a moment or two gawking and getting the lowdown on how such a critter had come to possess not only the command of language but table manners as well, being a gal on a busy night she settled for a little wordplay and a wink instead.

“The burger, eh?” Certainly not about to let the business down and especially so when she was handed an order of two which seemed rather firmly rooted upward in her alleyway, all too quickly was Cassie found nodding at the request she was given, and all too eagerly was she ready to deliver it.
“Y'all're in for a treat. It's the cooks speciality~?” Barely needing to jot much down to remember such a simple request but doing so merely for the sake of keeping the tab square between them, she couldn't wait to get her apron on and cook the pair her favourite item on the menu, even if partly for sentimental reasons. After all, it was the legacy of the Daddy in Daddy McCool's, wasn't it?

	Rolling with the punches when it came to wrestling moves, Cassie seems amused by the discontent of the 'pet'. Surprised then when the animal shows a sense of humanity she did not expect, her easygoing manner and the fervour of the evening prompts her to gloss over the strangeness. Happy instead to take their order, she is eager to cook them up the bar speciality, and her own as well.

Jan #3

The spotted feline stuck out her tongue in a cheeky gesture in a response to Cassidy´s comment, drawing out a chuckle from the writers lungs.
“First rule of life, don´t be mean to people who are preparing your food.”
Jan said sagely, but his companion seemingly didn´t understand the joke as she responded with a snorted answer.
“I am not mean.”
Sighing, the young novelist smiled at their wrestling waitress.
“I am glad to hear that.”
As Cassidy disappeared into the kitchen to prepare their lunch, Lin leaned towards him gently biting his arm.
“Oh, come on, you know you are the only woman in my life.”
He chuckled, earning a strange look from several patrons who were sitting close enough to hear his remark.
“That was just a reminder.”
She smirked, wrapping her tail a bit tighter around his arm.
“Speaking of which…”
Jan continued petting her slender head.
“Are you planning to eat in this form? Because if yes, I´ll ask that waitress for a dog bowl…”
His joke was met with the most offended cheetah face he ever saw, followed by a sudden change in the shape of his companion. The slender feline was replaced by woman in her early twenties, with a cute face framed by dark hair and hourglass figure hidden in loosely buttoned shirt and simple pants with belt that was carrying long and slander blade on one side and fencing gloves on the other one.
Clinging to his arm the former pirate kissed Jan´s cheek, earning a mixed reaction from the other patrons. Some looked at her with jaw dropped, struck by her beauty and breath-taking grace, that was radiating form her every move. Others, perhaps more practical were disturbed and frightened by her display of unnatural abilities as Devil Fruits were extremely rare in these parts.

Daddy McCool's always likes to show a newbie a good time~ Smiling once her time at the grill was done, Cassie hummed to herself as she laid out a couple of nicely warmed plates, with one seeming to be laden especially well with a heap of fries as well as an extra patty beyond what the man had ordered, and smiled to herself as she did so.
Let's see what they make of this~? Taking pride in the fact that her bar would go out of its way to ensure that a new face found themselves with a little extra in the food of a fuller meal or a sly shot with a drink order, it was her policy to make sure people got a welcome surprise from the first time they arrived, and with any luck, would see them returning thanks to the favour her policy generated.

Has he made a new friend…? For that reason the fair femme returning from her trip to the kitchen with both limbs laden with nice big plates, one of which probably looked more like a platter by this stage, the blonde was left to blink as she returned with the order only to find what seemed to be a new face waiting for her, and had to admit she was intrigued by the change she saw before her.
Or is it the same one~? The spectacle of having a spotted feline in the bar seeming to be over as her place at the table had been taken by someone who seemed that bit easier on Miss Calaway's golden gaze, she was unsure of whether a stranger had assumed the place of the moggy miss, but had to recall the fact that folk had spoken of 'strange powers' which allowed folk to assume animal form more than a handful of times in the bar. Perhaps that was what had happened here?

“Your kitty cat scrubs up nice, eh~?” Opting to test the water so to speak because of that as she laid out the orders before the dining pair, Cassie grinned and flashed a wink to the pair as she pointed out the change she had found, and let her eyes linger upon their girly guest now that she had apparently become something more her speed, so to speak.
“Feels a shame we haven't been properly introduced, Miss~?” That mere fact seeming to compel her to bob her brows and offer her hand out to the lass to greet her properly, all too readily did she seem to demonstrate the fact that women had a far easier time catching her interest than moggies or men for that matter, even if she was stepping on someone's 'turf' to do show that fact. But hey, nothing ventured, right…?

Post Summary

Plating up the meal, Cassie lays out some extra fries and a patty on Jan's place, showing him the bar's signature hospitality. Finding herself surprised to see that the strange cat had been replaced by a woman, she muses on Devil Fruit powers, though doesn't make any assumptions. Testing the water, she makes a joke about the change, and shows an intrigue at the possible introduction with such a lovely looking lass…

Jan #4

As the whole place fell silent, the writer looked around himself, cursing his own carelessness. To get an inspiration for his books he travelled the world and witnessed great deal of its marvels so seeing Devil Fruit user didn´t feel odd to him. However, for these people from East Blue it was probably as if Lin stepped out from legenda, and stories told to them by their grandmothers.
“You sure know how to draw an attention to your girl.”
Lin chuckled but even she didn´t feel that well from all these looks she was getting as only few of them were actually admiring her beauty.
Fortunately, common sense and old-fashioned fear kept them from doing anything stupid, at least until their waitress arrived with their food. Suddenly Jan didn´t care about these grumpy patrons at all, focusing all of his attention on the large cheeseburger that landed on table in front of him.
“It looks so delicious!”
His whispers disappearing in the growling sound his stomach released. Still, before digging in, there seemed to be some formalities that needed addressing, as their waitress seemed to question Lin´s presence there. Or perhaps question wasn´t the right word as the blonde seemed to be quite interested in the pirate that was sitting by his side.
“Lin, nice to meet you.”
Mistaking the object of Cassidy´s interest, Lin smiled before snuggling to the writer´s arm to mark her territory.
“Alright, I think…”
Jan tried to ask her to release his arm so he could finally eat, but before he could finish his sentence a troubles came in. The door leading to the inn busted open, revealing troubles. A group of six rowdy men in tattered mismatching clothes carrying weapons into the fine establishment. One didn´t have to be genius to figure out these were thugs from the writer´s point of view it really didn´t matter whatever they were pirates, bandits or just a local gang. They were problem.

“Ohhhhh, Lin huh? Nice to meetcha.” The blonde bombshell seeming to quickly size the scene up as she finished laying the food out for the apparent happy couple, there was little room to read through the proverbial lines in how the fresh face at the table viewed her current relationship status, and as such though Miss Calaway felt a note of disappointment at needing to cast another fish back into the sea she remained polite and cordial. I mean, better to know now than get invested, right?
The cutie pies always have boyfriends, huh? Sighing to herself a little as she lamented how it seemed she would stumble upon a willing and available skirt in her current line of work, the flaxen fox looked between the pair and resigns herself to defeat in the realm of romance, but lingered still because of something else which was eating at her ever since she had stepped back onto the proverbial shop floor and spied the new development at the table.

“So uh, was that you with the spots before?” For that reason seeming to sink into a pew for a second or two as she felt she would have no better moment to address the elephant in the room, or perhaps the absence of a kitty cat to be more accurate, Miss Calaway looked to the lady at the table and asks about her apparent transition from feline to fellow femme, and felt a want to confirm the truth of the matter for nothing more than simple curiosity. It was quite the trick, wasn't it?
“Either that or your fella sure makes his move fast, huh?” Smirking and scratching the back of her head because of the startling change which the clingy figure here had undergone, she teased the issue a little by making light of both it and how speedily it would seem that her apparent squeeze managed to bag his women, feeling something different about this odd couple beyond their apparently fluid status in the kingdom of animalia…

Jan #5

Realizing, that this blonde is more interested in her and her abilities than in her boyfriend, Lin relaxed a bit, offering their waitress a first genuine smile.
“Maybe both?”
She purred, stroking Jan´s arm, before dropping on all four directly from her seat, transforming into her cheetah form. Purring, she made her way around the blonde, wrapping her tail around her legs, before sneaking under the table, back to her seat, where she transformed into her human form again.
“Show off.”
Jan chuckled, taking a bite from his burger, earning a wide smile from his girlfriend.
“I´ll take it as a compliment.”
She laughed, kissing his cheek, while he was savouring the delicious taste of an amazing burger.
“My compliments to the chef. If I wasn´t broke I would hire her on the spot.”
He muttered with his mouth still full, making Lin chuckle.
“You and broke sure.”
She winked, stealing a single fry from his plate.
Her performance however didn´t escape the attention of these six thugs, that arrived earlier, one of them making his way towards their table.
“And there I was asking myself, why is the server ignoring new guests!”
He was a huge man, easily over two meters tall, with impressive musculature and a mix of tattoos covering his arms instead of sleeves that someone seemingly ripped off his shirt, his booming voice filling the whole room. Armed with a long knife that was attached to his belt, he was the poster boy for the stereotype of an overconfident bully. And while the writer didn´t like these types, they were part of many classical tropes he was using in his books, not to mention, he always thought about himself as the silent observer and not the protagonist of stories that were happening around him. Of course, only if someone wasn´t directly threatening him or Lin.

“Maaaan, looks like you're both pretty quick then, huh~?” The blonde found blinking for a moment as the lass over whom she was leering seemed to vanish, Cassie could only smile as she found a soft and curly tail caress her leg in a fashion which was more than welcome in her book, though perhaps a little cheeky given who she had parted from to deliver it.
“Heh, I ain't complaining about the show~?” Not that the man at the table seemed either sore nor surprised to find his squeeze getting up to a little mischief however, the teasing words that he prodded his partner with were something which made the barwoman offer a smirking shrug, and reveal that she had absolutely no problem with a gal or a cat who wanted to show off like this.

“I'm sure word will get back to her~?” The girl with the golden gaze grinning however when he offered a sense of appreciation for the meal which she had prepared however, while her efforts had been a bit rough when she had started this gig Miss Calaway was happy and proud to note that her skill had improved immensely with practice, and lapped up the praise she received for her ability because of that.
“Hire me? Haha, you guys in the restaurant business~?” Tilting her head however when she considered the second part of his comment however, though his words seemed to make his tablemate snicker at their financial situation the burly belle couldn't help but feel a sense of intrigue at his suggestion all the same, if only for the sake of learning a bit more about such an unusual pair of visitors to her venue. However, it seemed that their time for social function would soon run short. Too soon, in fact.

“Ha, in here folk are only called guests when they're welcome?” Perhaps some bracing and others quivering at the sight of a sizeable figure seeming to menace the room with complaint about his lack of service but the woman in charge merely rolling her eyes and sighing at the interruption, Cassie turned herself from her heels to face him squarely, and then arched her brow as she looked over the posturing punk to size him up.
“Lucky for us, tonight's 'server' is both able and very willing to deal with the type that ain't welcome too though?” Certainly not feeling all that impressed by the mass of muscle which he carried given the fact that there had been surprisingly few people in this bar who had her beat when it came to application of brawn, the only thing that seemed threatening about him was the knife which hung from his belt, and that was a 'foe' she had learned how to get the better of anyway, wasn't it? So naturally she fancied her chances in a confrontation, didn't she~?

	Impressed by Lin's feat, she waves away Jan's complaint, enjoying the chemistry between the pair. Certainly happy to hear that her cooking was good, she can't help but wonder about the 'hiring' he mentioned, and the business he might have wanted her to fill. Rolling her eyes at the intrusion, she sizes her enemy up, feeling confident she can get the better of him even with the weapon he carries.
