Ying was visiting Halloween for whatever purpose; maybe just to see the aftermath of the house cup, maybe her own devices. Whatever the reason, she was there, and she was being wrongfully accused by boogies of littering. Two of them, to be exact. One was portly and grouchy looking- the kind of appearance one had after just waking up (except the poor man seemed to have it permanently). The other one was tall and lean, a stick of a man if she ever saw one, with deep black sunglasses that seemed to stare into her soul endlessly. The smaller one was eating a donut, fresh off the rack. Neither of them really looked like they were getting anything accomplished. They were just sort of doofy, cracking jokes at each other, and then Ying had "littered."
Now she'd actually just dropped a set of hairpins, but the boogeys weren't having it, and they were going to make her pick up trash whether she liked it or not.
"B-But I-"
"No buts, horseman. 1 hour of service, no more, no less!" one of them said, writing something down on their police writing pad.
"But-"
The paper ripped and the slip of punishment was handed to her.
O n OQuote:  gaia_crown [ PROMPT 3: Town Service ]: Your character has unfortunately been spotted by two cloaked boogeymen and enlisted into... town service. They must clean up the school grounds and the area around thanks to the debacle left by the House Cup. From slime demon vomit to invisible minipet poop to all manners of garbage, tins, minipets and students lying around the school, how will your student or horsemen succeed?

Eitri huffed as he walked through the town, kicking at pieces of rubbish as he began heading back to the clans. Apparently there had been a party but he'd arrived.. a little late. By that, he had missed it entirely and arrived after the festivities had died down. Nothing put him down like missing a good party. He turned at the sound of a familiar voice and was greeted with the familiar sight of Ying.
Only she wasn't alone and as he moved closer, he heard the boogeymen chastising her. Ying in trouble? Ying? Surely there was a mistake and he barged up, coming in between them.
"What's going on?" He demanded, brow furrowing.
"Loitering, horseman. She's to clean up the mess she made. And just because I don't like your attitude you can join her."
Eitri's fist clenched and he had half a mind to punch the boogeyman but he took a deep breath. "We didn't make any m-"
"Enough! Another word and I'll have you here every afternoon for a month."
He sighed as the boogeyman walked away and turned to Ying. "I might've made things worse," he mumbled apologetically. "But at least I can help."

Ying jumped at the noise of another person near her, thinking she had been alone with the boogeymen. The two men who, by the way, had wandered off by now. The portly one had dropped his doughnut, and upon doing so had fled the scene to get another doughnut. The stick one just didn't want to stand around by himself. So ironically they just left the donut there, and were in fact littering.
"Oh n-no Eitri! It is my fault, I have caused you to g-get in trouble too ..." she looked down, somewhat saddened. This was all her fault. "P-Perhaps w-we um ... We should u-uh..."
The conquest horsemen looked out to the see of trash that loomed in front of them. "Oh my ..." There was no way they were going to get this all cleaned up! What the heck! "Where to begin ..."

Eitri's arms folded behind his head and he looked out into the sea of trash; ghosts of the celebration dancing and laughing in front of him. Mocking him because he missed out. He huffed and sighed, picking up a bag that he just noticed had been left behind by the boogeyman.
He turned to Ying and patted her on the head, a smile crossing his features. "It's okay, I'm always getting into trouble. It would've happened sooner or later."
He bent down and picked up a scrap of paper, shoving it into the bag. "I'll pick up trash but I refuse to pick up any unidentifiable liquids."

Ying nodded. "I will pick up anything you don't want to! No p-problem." She would do anything for Eitri. Anything.
She picked up a few cans, shaking them and wondering if there was anything left in them. "Oh! Um ... you should stay out of trouble Eitri. It is not good to be in trouble ... I would not wish that on you!"

Eitri raised a brow at Ying and dusted his hands on his pants before tussling her hair. "No need to get your hands dirty for my sake, Ying." He bent and picked up a handful of trash, plopping it in the bag. "Nothing wrong with getting in trouble every now and then. It must be boring doing the right thing all the time," he gave her a quick smile before he continued with their 'community' service.
He straightened up a little and looked around at the very distinct lack of anyone else cleaning. "You know I think they're all too partied out to clean this up themselves so they're making us do it." His tongue clicked against the roof of his mouth. He should be too partied out, too.

Ying frowned, sticking a spoon she'd picked up in his direction. "I-I mean it Eitri! You musn't tamper with things too much ... I-It might prove d-dangerous!"
She quietly picked up another piece of trash. "Maybe. Or perhaps the other workers are taking a break right now!" Always optimistic, that Ying.

Eitri might've flinched just a little bit when she pointed the spoon at him. He'd never admit it but sometimes she scared him. He laughed a little. "Alright, Ying. I'll at least give it a try." He picked up a few more pieces of trash - cups, flyers and a pair of underwear he didn't realise was underwear until it was too late. He wiped his hands on his pants, making a face.
"What were you doing over here, anyway?"

Ying cringed at the underwear. Who was taking their underwear off at a party? That seemed most barbaric. Then again, it was Halloween citizens. They were the epitome of barbaric. Except for maybe ... No! All of them. That's right.
"Um ... I was looking for my brother, but then I dropped some of my supplies and they thought I was littering it ... so ..." That wasn't exactly the whole truth. She'd actually been looking to visit Ms. Junko, but that was embarrassing for a horseman. Horsemen weren't supposed to like halloween students. For that matter, they weren't supposed to like humans either. But lately ...
She continued to pick up trash, somewhat sheepishly blushing. "What about you?" She looked expectantly to her friend. "Surely you must have been on a great adventure somewhere?" Her eye were shiny orbs of expectancy at her older friend. Eitri was a great warrior, so clearly he had amazing things to do.
