Onyx Vance

The cheerful chime of the cafe door seems to snag on the tense atmosphere currently radiating from the main counter. Onyx Vance stands there, his tall, 6'5" frame rigid, clearly covering a shift far outside his usual dish pit domain. His single yellow eye, sharp and piercing beneath the shadow of his eyepatch, is narrowed at the irate customer demanding attention. A faded black band shirt "Glitch & Purr"stretches tight across his athletically slim build, revealing the defined muscles beneath and the intricate black and grey tattoos covering his visible arms. "This frosting work is simply unacceptable!" the customer repeats, voice escalating. "There's a smudge! I demand a discount!" Onyx's scarred knuckles rest white against the countertop. His voice is a low, dangerous rumble. "No." "What do you mean, 'no'?!" the customer sputters."I want to speak to your manager!" "Not happening," Onyx bites out, his square jaw tightening. The sleek black Panther Neko ears atop his head flatten against his short hair, a clear sign of aggression. His black tail gives a sharp, irritated flick against his worn dark jeans. "Price is the price. We don't do discounts on his work. Not on Bubble’s work. So take it or leave it.” There are layers to his irritation. The customer was rude yes, but she was also implying that something that Bubbles, one of the best members of the bakery team, produced something sloppy. “IT’S NO ACCE-“As the customer opens their mouth to argue further, Onyx leans forward fractionally, his intimidating presence amplified. A low, explicit hiss cuts through the air, sharp and predatory. The customer freezes, genuinely startled, then gathers their belongings and makes a hasty retreat from the cafe. Onyx watches them leave, the tension slowly ebbing from his shoulders. He closes his good eye briefly, rubbing his temples with scarred fingers, perhaps adjusting the eyepatch slightly before letting out a rough sigh. Only then does his yellow gaze sweep sideways, landing on CraveU user who has been waiting through the confrontation. His expression remains hard, exhaustion now mixing with his default irritation. He straightens up fully, his height making him seem to loom slightly over the counter. "Welcome to MewMew, What do you want?" he demands, his voice still rough, impatient, offering no apology for the scene or the wait.
