Li Shou wasn't quite sure how he'd managed to beat his opponent to the coffee makers, but he had. The boil grinned and rubbed his hands together maniacally for a moment before approaching the strange device.
Truth be told, the boil had never even had a sip of the brown water. In his family, green tea was the main staple of the morning. He started to push every button he could find, ears a twitch at each murmur of sound from the overcomplicated drink maker, until the lights started blinking and a siren-like call filled the facility.
... W-when did that line get there?

"Ohohohho~" Popo laughed haughtily at the boil's predicament, a dainty hand lifting to the side of her mouth for effect. She had made a servant boil do this for her last time. And now this little welp was at the mercy of the bossy adults. She would stand, watch, and----
"Move it, missy!" Popo was unceremoniously shoved into the same area Li was. Well then. It seemed that she may once again need to take up the role of Boss!
"Ahem! Peon. Make coffee for the crabby adults." She shoo'd him away with her hand. "I am expert with cash. Expert. You are peon. Make coffee happen."
But wait! If he got too good at it, then she couldn't poison him or Butt Rot!
"On second thought. Too complicated. Too brainy for peon. Move aside. I make coffee. Me." She shoved him out of the way in hopes of finding out how to make the most lethal coffee.

It was a shame that he was to naive to realize that this was the way he made other people feel when he belittled them, because Li Shou was ready to reach out and squeeze her neck until she stopped moving for awhile.
"I'm no peon!" He defended, hands on his hips. "Moreover, I don't know how to work this stupid thing. That's what servants are for!"
It took a brief moment, but a thought struck him. The small boil grinned like a cheshire.
"If you know how to brew this garbage, that must mean you have no servants to do it for you... Which means YOU'RE the peasant!" The boil wouldn't deny he was proud of his train of thought, pointing his nose to the air as if he'd just won some great victory in an age old war.
Meanwhile, the line grew less patient with the two 'interns'.
"Hey puss, brew it or move it!"

Pride desired to put this boil in his place. However, Popo was much more clever than that. She grinned widely, pointed teeth shining. "Of course. I make coffee. You see. I make best coffee." She'd suck up to him. For now. And after it was all said and done, and she'd made the perfect poison? She'd kill him!
Or if she couldn't figure it out, she'd just light him on fire. Yeah, that'll do.
"Easy. Coffee is simple, because peons can make coffee. I am genius Princess. I make better coffee. No even try." Popo rifled through the ingredients in the small area given to them. Customers complained and yelled, as Popo was moving at her own slow, deliberate pace.
She found a minipet skull. Perfect! Skulls meant poison! All labelling had a skull to indicate poison! She stuck out her tongue as she smashed it up into bits with a mallet, pouring the sandy bones into a cup. She stuck it into the Cappuccino maker.
Ding!
Popo cackled, stirring her concoction. She scuttled to the counter to test it out on a customer. Surely it would kill them!
She waited.
OuO
Waited.

The desired effect had not been reached. His grin faded into a steady smile, but he wouldn't admit defeat. If that was her game, he would just have to beat her at it.
"More like a pig-faced princess." The boil mumbled and sat Mao-Mao down next to the machine.
The man at the front of his line slammed his hand on the counter. "I need an invisible latte!" Li Shou thought need was a strong word, but he snorted and grabbed a cup, slamming it on the table.
It was invisible alright. "Pay up, peasant." Obviously he wasn't getting any tips.
"You're right. This is simple. I'm faster at it than you are."

"Am not pig!" Popo growled in a puff of smoky fire. Augh! Such vile manners! She was a Princess, Jackdammit! Not a gross pig face! "Filthy, flea infested feline! Nothing but peon scum!" She spat at him, turning in rage to go make more coffee. She'd show him! Thinks he's so damned clever! No, it is Poppy who is the most clever!
Ignoring whatever it was a customer was asking of her, Popo got back to work in making poison. Maybe a cold drink? After all, death meant cold.
Poppy gathered a handful of cobwebs meant for cobweb-candy at fairs, likely. She stuck it into an iced drink, and dropped in a half cup of ice. She sprinkled what she assumed must be poison beads, which was actually tapioca.
Again, she took her dear sweet time. She was too busy to be catering to silly reapers.
"Here! Drink the thing!" She ordered the bossy adult. Unfortunately, they did not die. Even worse they seemed to enjoy it. Popo slammed her hand on the table. Dammit! Wrong again.....

To be fair, Li Shou also failed to kill anyone... But he sure knew how to piss them off. The cup was thrown back in his face, and the customer stormed off. At least it was just a paper cup. "HEY!" He shouted, scowling as the next one approached. He turned to Popo as she attempted to insult him. "I know you are but what am I?!" It was a good, solid comeback... That was at least a century old.
"Ichor soda." The next customer demanded simply. The boil tapped his chin, ready to ask what the hell ichor was, but quickly recalled this was a competition. Any show of weakness was unacceptable!
Whatever it might've been, it sounded disgusting. Li Shou could do disgusting. Grabbing a can of soda out of the mini fridge, he poured it into one of the cups... Then spit in it.
And scraped out some belly button lint into it for good measure. Now that was gross.
Apparently the customer thought so too, because after the first sip, it was thrown back into his face just like the first cup.
Why couldn't everyone just order the invisible stuff?

Jack! That boil was so lame! Unfortunately, it looked like he was on the verge of winning. Everything he made was getting thrown in his face! Maybe his poison worked, but it was too obvious? Okay, she needed to steal his recipes, and then add something to mask the taste!
Perfect plan!
However, from what she'd seen? He used nothing, or he used his own gross body germs. Um, ew? Maybe she'd put too much faith in his abilities. He was so obviously a failure through and through.
Okay, so iced cobwebs was a failure. However, it was soft and cottony, so pleasant, right? She used it as a medium in a latte recipe written on the wall. She used it as the main ingredient, masking the sink cleaner she used in the drink. Hmm.. the colour was very obviously poison. She needed more ingredients to cover it up!
She added milk. She added flakes she assumed were chocolate. She ground up some nutmeg on top. Nutmeg was explosive, right?
The brew bubbled and boiled threateningly.
Poppy slowly slid it to the customer. "Enjoy the thing...Yes." She murmured, slinking away behind a counter and waiting for him to drink it. Please explode! Please explode!

Li Shou tried to shake the sticky soda off of himself, only reaching for a towel after he had sprayed the next customer with the remnants of his concoction.
"Invisible. Iced. Coffee." the lady said through her teeth, face boiling with anger.
Much like Popo's drink was boiling. Woah, how had she done that?
The cat sith eyed his opponent's drink as it was handed off, but quickly returned to his new task. His wish had come true.
Ice was tossed in a cup and placed on the counter. This time, he was smart enough to duck when it was tossed back at him. It looked like his unsatisfied customers were out for blood now.

Excellent! Her customer was foaming at the mouth!
GREAT SUCCESS! In fact, it was so successful, no customers dared line up at her counter!
"Hah! Poppy is the most beautiful and smart! PRAISE POPO!" Poppy hopped back to the counter, making another poison coffee. This time, to go.
"Peon lose. Poppy will now go poison Butt Rot with great success. Good bye, sticky flea bite!" She laughed viciously, marching her way out of the area with her boiling drink.
Unfortunatly, it eventually ate through the To Go cup, and she had to abandon her plans after all.

Li Shou had kinda forgotten about the poison thing.
Oh.
That's what they'd been trying to do all along.
Well, unless the cait sith had some disease he didn't know about, it looked like he had lost the poisoning contest. "Y-yeah well! You're still the peasant because you can make your own coffee!" Not much of a comeback, but it was all he had.
It was an afterthought, really. There were angry businessmen and women storming the stand. Eyes widening, he grabbed Mao-Mao and busted open the vent close to the ground to make a hasty retreat before dissatisfied customers could pound the stuffing out of them both.
