Kanrya and the Cosplay lifers...

Kanrya's outfit:

Kanrya sighed softly as she looked the kitsune dress, tails and ears over in the mirror before looking towards the cafe itself, then back at her clothes and guns whining softly. She knew this was going to be a walk through hell itself but if she could keep her temper she'd make it through alright. At least that pervy god slayer was nowhere near the cafe.

She walked towards the cafe side letting a acrobat's grace flow through her, grace and pose quickly showing as she waited for the first customers coming in through the door.

It wasn't long until the three teenagers that had a predatory look in their eyes circled around her. At this point she semi wished the slayer was here. Hey guys, check her out! Isn't she something!! Hey miss! Why you dressed up like that? Is there a convention somewhere? They crowded around her setting off red flags at the forefront of her mind.

Welcome to the Cosplay Cafe, young sirs. May I sit you at a table so that I can take your orders? She asked demurely brushing off their offers and questions gesturing to a booth Which they promptly sat down in and watched the long-legged brunette.

As Kanrya was taking the orders for the three teenagers she could have sworn she heard the worst pick up lines in existence.

"Do you have takeover magic, cause baby you just took over my heart!"

"Wanna see my dragon roar?"

"Are you a god slayer, because you're beauty is otherworldly."

"If I were a celestial spirit the key would be my heart and you stole it when I laid eyes on you."

Okay that one was pretty good..Damn... She swore mentally and just smiled pleasantly before taking the orders to the chef. She quickly filled the drink orders and brought them out to the boys as she felt a slight tug on the hem of her costume sleeve. She looked down to see four little faces looking up at her between five and ten years of age. "N-nani? Can I help you little ones? She asked squatting down (away from the teenagers of course) tray against her chest. She looked around for the parents only to hear that they were there alone and that they were hungry and had money.

Kanrya shrugged and led the kids to another booth trusting the older ones could help the younger kids. She left a few children menus just in case.

As she watched over the kids she heard the chef say that the teens orders were up so as put the hot dishes on her tray and walked towards the teenagers. She could see the hearts in their eyes (figuratively of course) and plastered a big cheesy grin at she handed them their food.

Speaking of dishes lady, you are one hot pot!

Mentally she groaned at the line, but kept the smile on her face. That was until she moved further away from the boys table and grabbed a pitcher of water for the children who were busy looking at the menus. She filled the glasses up and smiled helpfully at them. So what would you like to drink? Water? Chocolate milk? She could see the big smiles on their faces. But Jarin can't have chocolate milk ma'am! He's awergic!She heard a 6 year old speak up looking out for her younger brother. Oh? okay that's not a problem. Does he want juice, water... Kanrya asked as she patiently waited on the little girl and her brother. Does...Does you have apple juice? Kanrya stuck the pen in her mouth. Apple....Apple...Of course we have apple juice! Seeing the little girls face lit up nearly melted Kanrya's heart.

As Kanrya looked at the four kids she smiled. "So its one Apple juice and three chocolate milk?" She asked only to be asked if they had soda and orange juice. Quickly erasing the order and wrote down orange juice, apple juice and then looked up. " We have root beer, lemon-lime soda and grape soda." She smiled again as the child hollered for grape. "Okay let me go get those drinks for you and I'll be back for your orders!" She smiled brilliantly and walked over to the teenagers asking if they needed anything else except for her number because it was against policy as she winked playfully at the boys. When they asked for more of their drinks she nodded.

She quickly filled up clean glasses with new drinks for the teens and filled up four children's glasses with apple juice, orange juice, grape soda and chocolate milk, putting lids on each one. She gave the teens their glasses first before heading back to the children. "Okay so that's one apple for Jarin, an orange for-" "Me!!" "You...And the chocolate milk and grape soda?" She asked before the two older children yelled us in unison.

So, what do you want to eat today? We've got chicken nuggets in different shapes, burgers... She asked as she heard the children bicker amongst themselves and change their minds frequently. This made the kitsune dressed gunslinger sweatdrop just a little. Do you want more time? She asked getting a nod from the two older ones.

Kanrya then made her way towards the teenagers to check on their meals and see how everything was coming along before she heard screaming and yelling. A small grin made it way onto her face as the teens chuckled. Is there anything else I can get you? She offered.

Your number?

Sorry, against policy. She chuckled, rather than expressing frustration or anger.

The bill please?

Of course right away. She said as she went to ring up the bill. As she brought the bill back to the teens she checked on the kids to see if they had made their decisions yet, which led to more arguing, especially between the older two. Oh boy. That reminds me of the days I spent on the streets. She thought as she dropped the bill off at the teens table.

After she put the bill on the table she headed back over to the children to get their orders. Thankfully it really wasn't expensive stuff or anything that was too much of an acquired taste. The two older ones wanted a hot dog and a burger, both with fries, while the younger ones wanted nugget made from chicken that were in the shape of dragons...

At that Kanrya sweatdropped. Dragon shaped nuggets made from chicken breasts. Dragon slayers would have a field day and not in the good way. Either way she was here until ten that night. One shift...that was it.Alright. let me fill up your glasses and get that to the cook! She said, taking the drink cups to fill them with their respective drinks, handing the cook the order. Finishing that job, she took the drinks back to the children and stopped by the teens table to pick up the payment and put it into the register. As she did so, she noticed the teenagers leaving. Have a nice day! Come again! She called out cheerfully.

Kanrya soon delivered the food to the children and set about cleaning up the teenagers table, she kept an eye on the children, keeping her ears peeled for their voices. While cleaning the table she found fifteen jewel as a tip. She grinned and put it into a pocket for a later time. She made sure to keep a running tally of how much she would get in tips so that she knew how much she would be able to take home.

It was about noon already so she decided to take a break from running around to the customers and sat near the children as she refreshed herself with a glass of ice water. What she was really dying for was a cigarette but she decided against taking a partner on this trip because she still hadn't known the others in the guild and Mash was off doing his thing. Come to think of it...he was the one who peaked her interest to join...

Kanrya pulled out the latest issue of Sorcerer Weekly and perused it. Since she had bought it with part of the money from her very first job, she had read and reread the articles, before looking at the children talking and somewhat playing over their meal, talking animatedly about things they found interesting.

As she watched them she reminisced about the gang of kids she had run with, at least until she felt a tug on her sleeve from one of the younger two. More juice pwease miss!! A smile appeared. Alright who else needs drinks? was asked to a chorus of "ME!" She went to fill the glasses again careful to keep an eye on them so they wouldn't skip out. She soon returned with the bill and the drinks. Need help counting the money? She offered I can always call your parents if you don't have enough... She smiled trying to be helpful.

The young gunslinger helped the children figure out how much the bill was and soon was working on counting the jewel that they had brought, of course she didn't tell them the real reason was to make sure that they didn't skip out on the bill, she was after all there to bring the owner a profit. She did feel semi bad about taking the children's money, but commerce was commerce whether it was dining, clothing or whatever else. She was glad though that the children did have enough to pay for the bill. She didn't really want to have to have the owner contact the parents of the children. She took the payment to the register and felt a glomping hug around her waist to look down at four beaming faces.

Thanks for spending time helping us fox lady!! One of the little girls said as she was followed by her little brother, to catch up to the little boy and his younger sister he was with.

No problem sweetie. Kanrya said softly as she watched before turning to take care of the table.

As Kanrya was cleaning the table the kids sat at she found about three jewel that had been left. Whether it was by accident or on purpose a small smile found its way to her lips and she chuckled. Heh. Those munchkins were way too well behaved. If it had been the gang I'd run with it would have been a dine and dash.

She pocketed the three jewel as a tip and made her way over to write it down. It had become relatively slow, except for the occasional customer that weren't problematic and kept to themselves. She was busy wiping a few tables down so she really didn't hear the chime go off when a business man walked in and stood smirking at her rear end up in the air. She was starting to get a creeping feeling down the back of her neck that there was something she wasn't going to like.

Kanrya nearly jumped sky high when she felt a hand palm her ass, thus smacking her head good and hard. Owww... She whined and then clenched her fist. She came out from underneath, rubbing the back of her head, with a little bit of tears in her eyes. She looked up at the guy who had palmed her rear in such a familiar way. Can I help you sir?

Sorry did I startle you Foxy? I only meant to get your attention. However now that I have it I couldn't help but notice how.... gorgeous you are. He said ogling her cleavage, before Kanrya got up from where she was sitting. She soon should the man to a table constantly getting the feeling he was undressing her with his eyes. She kept calm and tried not to shudder visibly.

Your table sir... She exclaimed moving far enough away to keep him from trying to grope her yet again.

The gunslinger felt the familiar cold of battle slip over her as the man before her started ordering her around like he owned her. All throughout it she smiled and went about her duties getting his drink order and making sure he was taken care of.

It wasn't long until she heard the chime again that brought in two people with cameras going off as they photographed the place and her. Welcome! Can I show you to your table? She asked smiling as they took pictures of her to the point she felt like she was about to go blind. She showed the two to a table, handing them menus as she heard the business man holler for the 'Kitsune wench'. She sweatdropped and asked if the two needed anything else before filling the mans order for a drink and bringing it to him.

What took you so long pretty fox? He growled out before taking a drink of his beverage.

Taking care of the other customers sir. Have you decided on what to eat? She asked.

He eyed her before giving her the order of what he wanted, in a very precise way one who had a lifetime of ordering others around would do and she gritted her teeth as she wrote down the order.

Did you get all that? He asked in a condescending manner.

She nodded biting the inside of her mouth to keep from saying anything rude or derogatory towards the asshole. Of course sir. I'll get that to you immediately. She ground out. Only to watch him push the napkin wrapped utensils off the table.

I'm sorry Foxy, I'm such a klutz. Please pick that up for me? He asked smirking. Kanrya got the vague notion that he was doing so only to palm her rear again, call it intuition or what but she was not getting anywhere near him to pick that up. She nudged the utensils that were still wrapped in the napkin away from him and crouched down to pick it up.

Let me go get you a new one sir. She said softly and moved to leave only to have him grab her hand. No need, I'm sure that they're still clean right? She nodded alarms going off in her head.

Kanrya put the napkin wrapped utensils back on the table. Umm sir please let go? I need to give the order to our chef. She explained finally snatching her hand back as he let go and she hurried off to give the order to the chef and take care of the cosplay fans taking their orders and bringing them only pausing to let them take pictures of her serving them.

As she walked towards the business man and asked if he needed anything immediately which she got a negative answer. She shrugged before going back to get the meal order for the tourist fans and made her way towards the chef to put the order in only to hear the man holler kitsune wench again. She sweatdropped, slight annoyance showing on her face. Kanrya smiled almost as if this was starting to physically pain her. Can I help you sir? Yes. How long are they going to take with my food wench...

I'll go check sir. She said scurrying back to the kitchen.

Kanrya checked on the order that was being done for the business man while carrying the meal order to the tourist fans posing with the tray for them and smiled as she found out were they were coming from and what they had done at where they had been. She made sure they didn't need anything when she heard that the order for the business man was up took it to him.

He didn't pay her much attention except to start eating his meal and she left him alone at that to take care of the tourist fans making sure that they didn't worry about anything and occasionally checking on the business man to see if he needed his drink refilled. He would on occasion try to grab her rear a few more times but didn't really come into contact with it again. Meanwhile, the tourist cosplay fans asked for their bill and left leaving a twenty five jewel tip for her.

It was starting to get quiet again after the initial dinner rush and the man was still there, ordering small things as he conducted his business from the cafe. She shrugged, yes the man was annoying with his grabbing, but it was getting closer to 10 at night. She could leave and forget this mess even had happened. It wasn't until she had finally brought him a dessert that he pulled her down into his lap he pulled his final trick.

Thank you for taking care of me Foxy, think you can feed that dessert to me with that pretty mouth of yours? She removed his hands from her waist and glared at him quietly. Sir, I may be in cosplay but I have no interest in dating you period. I sincerely request that you not grab at me like that anymore. Company policy and all that not to mention the fact no means no.

Apparently at this rejection was poorly taken and he stood up from the table looking like he was going to strike her. I suggest you rethink that decision sir. This mark here is not for show. She said quietly pointing at the Sabertooth Guild Mark near her eye. He paused thinking then would he really go up against a prestigious guild? No...no he would not.

He quietly sat back down, finished his dessert and coffee as Kanrya went about cleaning up from the day. He paid his bill and left leaving a tip of thirty eight jewel as if in apology for his rude behavior.

She quietly cleaned up his table, checked to see that the dishes were done first before changing back to her regular clothing, patting the guns in a familiar manner and talking to the owner before heading back to the guild.
