Closing Time: Jess vs Yuu!

[SubtleRoar]

"Well tarnation! Today couldn't have been any more stressful, even if it damn well tried!" *With a mighty sigh of relief as the moon finally peaked over the horizon, the weary rancher finally plopped down against the sofa in the living quarters and sprawled out across the leather, plushy pillows.* "I nevah anticipated mah gym to become such a massive success...guess we all gotta make sacrifices to be successful." *She muttered to herself while slowly beginning to unwind. Her cowskin vest was the first to be tossed, gently landing against the nearby coffee table. She was too drained to bother with her boots, so instead, she simply remained sedentary while casually flipping through her phone for anything she might have missed throughout the day.*

Since Yuu's usual gym was closed for renovations, she'd had go find another one. A poor sense of direction combined with an unfamiliarity of the city had meant her search had taken much, much longer than she'd intended. At least the weather had been warm enough that she hadn't regretted coming out in her tracksuit. She had stubbornly refused to give up and it finally seemed as if her determination had payed off! The place was called "The Gem's Haven" and it was certainly a welcome sight after all her traipsing around.

"Please excuse me..." She said as she entered the gym. The place seemed entirely empty, it was only after looking around a little that she found someone. She assumed the beautiful woman was the owner, considering how at home she looked on the sofa.

"Hello there!" Yuu chimed brightly, before her face fell slightly as she realised why there seemed to be so few people in the gym.

"Oh, are you about close? I hope I'm not bothering you!"

[SubtleRoar]

"Sorry.." *Her eyes casually shut from the relaxed sensation that had almost literally swept her off her feet* "The Gem's Haven is closed for tahday. Yer gonna hafta.." *She decided that bad news was best delivered while making eye contact, so partially through her sentence, she glanced upwards and slowly began to retract her initial statement.* "...Erm...A..actually...we still gotta..couple hours left before then..." *Her olive skin, auburn hair and golden eyes, just like hers. It wasn't often that the crimson cowgirl was left tongue tied, but she could hardly find the words to continue on.*

"Iff'n yer...up for it..I..c..could always spar a few rounds with yah." *That's what she wanted to say! Her mind still functioned just enough to convey something along the lines of a friendly match.* "J..Just lemme know..." *Her legs visibly quaking against the coffee table, it almost seemed as though an earthquake had somehow rolled through, and missed everything but the mahogany log.*

[PoisonChalice]

Her glum expression brightened after she was told that the Haven would be open a little longer and it took on the look of an excited puppy at the prospect of sparring.

"Thank you so much! I..." She stopped herself as the words tumbled out of her mouth. It seemed the red-haired woman was a little nervous.

"I'm sorry, I didn't introduce myself! I'm Yuu Hashimoto. It's good to meet you!" Smiling warmly, Yuu took Jess' hand and gave it a reassuring, gentle squeeze to try and make the cowgirl feel at ease.

"I'd love to spar with you! So long as I'm not imposing." Now that she was closer, Yuu could see how strong Jess looked and how tall she was. Not only that, she was even cuter than she'd first thought. She had a very natural and genuine beauty that really appealed to Yuu. She found herself blushing a little just looking at her!

[SubtleRoar]

"Y..y..yeah..s..sure thang, s..sugah." *She stammered out the word sugah? That had been her go to word for years whenever addressing someone in a casual fashion, and now it's like pulling teeth? Jess needed to get a grip, and fast. She locked her legs together to prevent the any more, excessive shivering from down below. Eventually, it deteriorated to a light wiggling before she finally stood to her feet to fully introduce herself to Yuu.*

"Tha name's Jess Mcleary. I'm co-owner of this here gym, and it's a pleasure tah make yer acquaintance Yuu." *Yes, finally she had fully composed herself and started making full, articulate sentences. Even though Jess easily towered over Yuu by a few inches, she appeared to carry herself well and perhaps was even more well defined than Jess.*

"Imposing? Pfft! Get that hogwash outta here! I'd be offended if ya'll didn't wanna throw down with yours truly." *Clasping the outer ridge of Yuu's olive-colored hand, Jess reciprocated her friendly handshake with a chipper grin accompanying it.* "So, what did yah have in mind?"

[PoisonChalice]

Yuu felt happier seeing Jess become more relaxed around her. While she thought Jess was tall before, seeing at her full height made her realise she had a pretty serious presence. She was lucky Jess was so nice: Yuu wouldn't want to see what she was like when she was mad!

"I'm up for anything really! How about we keep it simple? Just a regular match?" Yuu suggested. She was excited to have the opportunity to wrestle with someone like Jess. Even without seeing her in action she could tell she'd be a good match for her!

"Just lead the way whenever you're ready. I'm ready!" Unable to contain her excitement she let loose a little hop and a fist pump. She was raring to go!

[SubtleRoar]

"Regula match it is!" *With a gregarious smile, Jess retracted her hand and began to amble towards the outskirts of the ring.* "Three count or submission, no complainin about how hard I hit, and no cryin when I win!" *She chuckled aloud while waving Yuu over, as her cumbersome boots clopped up the metallic steps.* "And don't worry about dirtying the ring up or anythang; I'll just have Lex mop it up once you'n I are done."

*Approaching the center of the ring, she turned towards the ravishing Yuu with a scarlet blush that matched her hair. It wasn't everyday such an exotic beauty graced her gymnasium, and she intended to leave an impression on her that she wouldn't forget.* "Whenevah yer ready, let's get it on!" *She crouched down into a three point stance, grunting like a wild bull just waiting to charge.*

[PoisonChalice]

"Mmhmm!" Yuu nodded along, happy with Jess' terms as she climbed into the ring. Standing across from her Yuu took a low stance, bent slightly forward with her arms out in front of her. When Yuu locked eyes with her red-haired opponent she found herself blushing a little and had to try hard to stop herself from shyly averting her gaze. She couldn't let herself be distracted! Jess deserved the best match she could give!

"Let's go!" She gave a merry shout as she began to approach Jess to start the match! Seeing as Jess was the bigger woman, she was approaching her more cautiously than normal. She chose a low stance so that she could try to catch and defend against the southern beauty if she made the first move. If Jess didn't make the first move however, Yuu would try and close the distance before trying to circle behind her to apply a waistlock!

[SubtleRoar]

"Yeehaw!" *More than elated to blindly charge into the fray, the jiggling juggernaut blitzed forward with all the power and fury of a frenzied bull! Her manic, rush-down offensive was meant to strike fear and terror into whomever she locked up with, and Yuu was no exception. Regardless of how she may have felt about the bronzed beauty, this was still a match, and one she intended to emerge victorious in.*

*Her intentions were rather simple, if not rudimentary- She intended to knock Yuu off balance, then, shunt her down with her raw, muscular physique to obtain a distinct advantage. Assuming everything went according to plan, Jess would subsequently plant a myriad of boot strikes into Yuu's midsection, thereby taking the breath out of her and forcing an uphill battle to regain her composure.*

[PoisonChalice]

While Yuu was ready for Jess' charge, she wasn't ready for just how incredibly strong and frighteningly aggressive she was! Despite her best efforts, Yuu founds herself completely overrun by the charging redhead and was knocked down to the mat by her raw power.

Wincing, Yuu tried to get back to her feet but instead found herself being stomped into the ground by Jess, her heavy boot crushing the wind right of her! Trying to shield herself from the blows with her arms, Yuu tried her best to roll away from the barrage of stomps so she could put some distance between her and her opponent. It certainly wasn't the best start to match for Yuu; Jess' aggressive rushdown had certainly given her the upper hand early on!
