Ted Grant has posed:
This all started because a muscle head at the gym saw Blue GhostEyes wearing a muscle shirt, that bared her arms and back and remarked that with all that muscle she did look like a real woman. This was in earshot of Ted and also Blue's very sharp ears. They had a quick conference. In other words she stopped Ted and Ted agreed to let her handle it.

So we find the musclebound lifter, Hoss working away and Ted murdering a speed bag and waiting for Blue to screw around with some other slob for a change. That sort of thing was way more fun to watch. Ted notes the heavy bag is open as well but he leaves it in case Blue needs it.

Blue GhostEyes has posed:
For her part, Blue could not have cared less what the guy with more muscles than brains said. She understands Ted's feelings on a level most women could never however, since she's been in his shoes before. Or something like that. She also doesn't want him to lose business by beating the snot out of a douche bag customer. She can get away with that. If people don't like it then she can just avoid the gym and hang around upstairs, or even illusion her appearance.

She's wearing that muscle shirt, a dark brown that matches her eyes, blue jean cut off shorts with the occasional rip and a pair of ordinary gym shoes. Her hair is pulled back in a lose tail and sports a new blue streak on the right side of her head.

"Hey asshole! In the ring! I bet I can knock your ass out in the first round. I'll show you how a real woman deals with tiny little pricks like you." For someone who doesn't care, she gets really into it, but it's occured to her that there are other women here and they probably don't appreciate that kind of bullshit after all their hard work. Work that helps keep them safe, and fit and shouldn't be belittled by guys like this.

Ted Grant has posed:
Ted Grant gets bonked in the cheek with the speed bag, being focussed on Blue. This was unexpected. He expected... magic maybe" Turn his jawbone into an ass? Turn him into something dainty? Nope, a pounding is in order.

He goes to the ring and tells the boxers sparring there to take a break. They, do but they stay to watch Ted's new girl. Some ladies drift over, especially when Ted vaults into the ring.

Hoss gives a derisive snort, being an inch taller than Ted and complies, getting sparring gloves and stretching.

Ted goes over to Blue and helps her into the ring in a mannerly way, yanking her over the ropes and setting her in the ring. He leans in to whispers, "He's paid up through April. Go to town."

"Okay folks, sudden death sparring match. First person knocked on their back loses. I want a nice clean fight. Tap hands and get to it."

Blue GhostEyes has posed:
Blue's not stupid, she sees the other women gathering and hides a grin, turns her head to look at Ted and winks. If the ghost business didn't send him running, she's pretty sure he'll be okay with the fact that she *loves* to fight. She also hates to lose and that happens sometimes but not today. There will still be a trick, she's got to pull this off as if she were a regular human with extraordinary skill. Someone that's practiced and fought a lot, and that part is actually true.

She turns back and grins at Hoss as he enters the wring. She'll let Ted glove her up since she doesn't think this is a time or place to get away with bare-knuckling it. Too bad. Aw well, fucker looks like a rock head anyway. He's probably too stupid for this lesson to sink in but at the very least, she'll enjoy it and the others probably will too.

Blue looks the man up and down with her own derisive expression and then the fight starts. Oddly she takes up a defensive stance, even lets some hits through. She'll have a black eye later for sure. They move around the ring, her letting the guy get cockier and cockier and the spectators starting to feel consternation, perhaps a bit of disappointment. All part of her plan.

Ted Grant has posed:
Hoss makes the mistake of not pressing his attack after handing the woman a shiner. Obviously he's too much for the weak woman with guy arms!

Stretch comes over to Ted and asks, "Is she okay?" Ted smirks. "This is the boxing equivalent of a pool hustle. She'll murder the bum."

Stretch grins, "Finally found 'un can keep up with yew, hunh?"

"Heheheh. Yeah! Wait!" Hoss suddenly lunges, attempting a right to Blue's abdomen!

Blue GhostEyes has posed:
And Blue simply.. isn't there. She feinted and dodged to the side just enough that he misses, albeit brushing her side with his glove. Not enough to hurt, just the slightest touch, but she feigns it as being a harder hit, uses the momentum to spin and turn and when she's facing Hoss again she finally throws a real punch. Just one. Right on the side of the chin and with precicely calculated force. Enough to knock him on his ass, scatter what little wits he has and keep him down long enough for her to win. She's a coyote not a cat, and doesn't usually play with her prey. This guy was an ass sure but he thus far hasn't done anything to deserve a true beat down.

Blue swirls her hips and does a little victory dance, pumps her fists in the air and then vaults over the ring, lands in a crouch and comes up in Ted's arms grinning smugly.

Ted Grant has posed:
Ted Grant grabs Blue around her things and hauls her up, raising her right arm. The victor! He does a slow turn relishing her weight! He looks at his girl fans and shrugs then makes a whipping motion and nods to Blue. Stretch is already in the ring seeing to Hoss. At least he isn't a serial killer or bail jumper. then he rolls his shoulder to let her off to slide down him (sweat being a lubricant and catch her around the waist.

"Come up stairs and we'll get you a steak for that eye. He is annoyed she barely left a mark on Hoss, so precise was her punch. Meanwhile his babe has a shiner! He starts leading her away. Tony, at the desk , is clapping politely.

Blue GhostEyes has posed:
She can scent his irritation and Blue smiles, snuggling up against Ted and letting him lead her upstairs. "I'd rather eat that steak. The eye will be fine tomorrow and gone healed in a few days." She doesn't have super healing but does heal one to three times faster than regular humans. It's not the worst kind of black eye. "I didn't want to make his assholery worse and if he'd been utterly humiliated then it probably woulda. I also wanted to pass as human so I had to take some hits."

She smiles at Ted and nuzzles his neck as they approach the door. "Ice would be good though." She admits readily. "I love to fight but really, I did that for you and those women." She shrugs modestly. It's not like she really neads a reason to start throwing down but she always makes sure there is one, however slight. This fight was more than a simple slight.
