"I believe she might be addicted to it," he told Sin as he fished out some more pages out of the tank, taking a brief moment to look at the scribbled notes; they were mostly blurred out and gone from where the water had washed off the sugar, "Which means that... she's not going to stop eating them, even if they hurt her. Don't take them away from her abruptly, Sin, it might make things worse. I don't want her going into withdrawal," he paused just as soon as he said that, "Can you go into withdrawal from not eating sugar?" this was said softly, as if he were wondering out loud.
After a moment, he shook his head slightly to clear it, "Anyhow. Try to mix some of the brains Jericho and I brought with the sugar and get her to eat it? Try the blue ones for that. She appears to be most fond of those."

The hunchback began to breath again as it heavily clambored through the window and into the Plague Doctor, but thankfully Malodore was equipped with a command at the ready. IckyStyx what did Ickystyx look like? He imagined a twisted, slimy thing, with far too many eyes and legs- but apparently it was a brightly colored box of what was a sweet smelling powder, judging by the wrappers and savaged sprinklings across the floor.
Wobbling a little and just happy to be standing on a proper floor again, Christof pointed dumbly to the empty boxes, as though confirming Malodore's command.
Voices? More people were here- Oh no oh no they couldn't see his Mistress in this state! Reputation can mean everything to a Master! He shifted on his feet, anxiously glancing from the doorway to the creature in red and back again with a whine in his throat.

If Riley knew what Malodore and Christof were doing in her bedroom, she would be very displeased. As it were, however, she did not. <3
Jericho! She called out happily, and her tentacles reached out to grab the poor boil in their grip and pull him to her. Gabrian, Sin, have you met Jericho? He is the best. He lets me ride him. Oh, you brought me brains? Her eyes caught Gabrian's offering as well. Both of you? How strange. Did you know, if you were mindflayers, this would be akin to courting me. Thankfully I am not so close-minded as to think you are doing so. I appreciate the gifts, however. I suppose as thanks, I could let you try one of the blue stix.
Her eyes narrowed to slits. One.
She watched on happily as Sin tried one of the Icky Stix, and patted the hand that rubbed her shoulder. Of course I don't feel sick. Why would sugar make one sick? It's a soluble substance. I'm sure I can digest it easily. So, how did you like it? They are wonderful, aren't they? Barth introduced me to them.
Perhaps they were not making her sick, but they were certainly making her chatty. Gabrian, what a lovely idea. I often do sprinkle a bit of sugar on my meals when I take them, but I haven't tried it with the Icky Stix yet. You're very clever.
But where was Malodore? She had just seen it in her bedroom, climbing to her window dramatically. Malodooooore darling, she called out. Come join us!

"Well when she starts puking up sugar bile from her tentacles she'll wish she hadn't eaten so many...wait can Riley throw up? Well...I ate a whole box of chocolates one time even though mama said not to and I was sick to my stomach. Never did that again...so maybe we should just let her enjoy them and she'll learn her lesson when they make her sick?" Sin popped open another icky stix and poured the sugar on her tongue in grinning as it started to change color.
"Hey these are fun..." She swallowed and then laughed. Hmm...apparently Sin was more of an enabler then anything at the moment. She held up one of the opened blue stix to Riley's tentacles fascinated by the way they sucked up the sugar powder.

"Riley will be fine, provided we can get her sobered up," Malodore reassured Christof with a nod. Besides, the plague doctor rather thought a little bit of social pressure might help prevent further problems... A bit clinical and cold perhaps, but oh well.
And she probably wouldn't hurt it for doing this. It hoped.
"Lets get this lot out of here. Then we can go out and work on Riley herself. Grazie," it added, giving the patchwork a small smile before it picked up a box and flung it through the window. It tumbled artfully to the ground, releasing a few sticks on the way down....
Ah. And there was Riley's mental call. "Keep at it," it whispered to Christof before padding slowly to the door.
Darling...?
it opened the door a crack, not enough that riley would see what Christof was doing. "Try the brains, uh, tresorina. They are quite good thie time of year."
Smooooooth.

Christof nodded, brows furrowed as he stooped to grab as many boxes as he could in one go. With a trail of candy sticks behind him, a good thirty boxes came tumbling down from the window. Hopefully no one was walking by.
And hopefully his Mistress would not kill him.
Oh Fear Alive, he hoped his Mistress would not kill him.
Or dismember him anyway.
The sooner they were gone and done with, the sooner he could pretend he had no idea what had happened.

"Hush, Pugs... What's the matter?"
The Puggle had started to stare out the window a while ago, and had started to bark excitedly just as she walked out of the bathroom, hair still wet, a towel still wrapped around her body. For a moment, she became paranoid that it might be Calder again; the last task he did for her did not go well at all. He probably caused her to have to do more work.
"Coming, coming..." She called over to the excited Minipet as she slipped into a bathrobe and out of the towel, "What got you so- WHAT IS THAT?" She stared at the boxes falling from one of the dorm room windows before opened her window, sticking her head out as she tried to pinpoint who it was who was doing such an inconsiderate act. However, she hadn't been expecting who she saw at the window - could the Igor be helping Barth or Riley clean up? Still, that was not the way to throw out rubbish!
"CHRISTOF?" She yelled with a frown, "What are you doing?"

Riley's tentacle was all to happy to give Sin the show she was looking for, and Riley turned her head to look at Sin with bright and happy eyes. I told you! I knew that once you all came over, you'd understand.
Her eyes fell on the door as it cracked open, and her brow furrowed in confusion. Why wasn't it coming outside to be with her? What was it-
Her skin flooded with color, and her thoughts became flustered and indistinguishable. Finally, she took Sin's hand, and tugged on it slightly, pulling the other ghoul down so that Riley could 'whisper' in her ear. Whispering doesn't really work that way when you're speaking telepathically, Riley. Stop acting like it does.
Sin. Sin. She repeated, in a whispered thought. Malodore called me it's tresorina. Sin. It only calls Luce it's tresorina. I secretly always wished it called me that too but I didn't think it cared that much about me. She was gushing, but thankfully it was a whispered thought into the other ghoul's mind.

Sin giggled as she watched Riley's tentacle suck up the sugar and she popped open another one for herself. "Oh Riley that's like a party trick I wonder how good the suction is..." She hushed as Riley leaned in and seemed to blush? Was Riley blushing? She listened to the mental whisper and smiled scooting closer to the other demon.
Her voice fell low and soft urging and sweet, "Ohhhh Riley you should go give him a kiss and show him how much it means to you..." She whispered against the other demons tentacles since there was no ear persay to whisper into. "Here I'll hold your icky stix."

The hunchback flinched at the sudden shout at him and as the last boxes tumbled from his hands he elbowed the ladder and had to scramble to stop it from falling away from the wall completely, trapping them all there. He swallowed from his precarious perch, easing it back in again. Once he had caught his breath, he spotted the familiar pink-haired demon glowering up at him and.... oh could he never catch a break in front of Miss Elizabeth??
With a squeak of terror, he vanished back into the room again. He had gotten rid of every box he could find, now it was just a matter of hiding from the evidence. He'd bury those terrible Ickystix in the graveyard later, where they belonged.
Swallowing deeply, Christof glanced out of the bedroom toward where Malodore had crept. Was... was she making a fool of herself? He couldn't sense her thoughts as she "whispered" to the demoness beside her but- When did all these people get here?? SIN was here! His Mistress's reputation was hanging by a thread and she was carelessly swinging around the scissors willy nilly!

Merde!
"O-one moment, mia amora!" Malodore stammered, praying she hadn't heard Lizzy's shout. It then backed quickly into the other room. Christof was very efficient!
"Christof, quick - go back down the ladder and re-enter through the hallway from bartholemew's room," the plague doctor ordered. "I'll handle this..." ot leaned out the window, looking for Lizzy. "it will be tidied later, so silencio, por favor...!"
It then returned to the door, slipping out and closing that door firmly behind it. "si...?"

Maybe it was only because Chuppi was going to the demon dorms to see Lizzy, or maybe it was because she was wandering around to be a good Student Council VP and check in on the students. Regardless of what she was doing or what she wanted to be doing in the end she was going to the dorms.
And then she saw someone falling and someone running and then yelling and what was going on?! Chuppi's legs bunched underneath her and she cleared a good distance with a single bound, her time off from the track team clearly showing no worse for wear with the natural skills of her race. Soon she was at the side of the dorm and trying to find the source of the yelling. Lizzy maybe?
"Is someone down here?"

G-go back down?? But LIZZY was down there! He already had a tenuous relationship with the demoness, and only just recently won back her favor after their initial... misunderstandings, he did not want to have to face her possible wrath again. That thread might have been useful for stitches in Christmas Town, but here they were sharp as razor wire.
He respected Master Malodore greatly, and fully supported most anything it suggested, but he was not marked by the undead creature and did still have a sense of self preservation.
Sort of.
When Riley's voice rang in his head, his eyes widened. She... she was coming! Hell's! Bells!
He twisted to frantically try to make his way down the ladder, even if it did mean facing a spider.

Lizzy didn't hear Chuppi, but as she changed into something more presentable and ran down the stairs, she spotted the monster at the side of the Dorm. Without really saying much, Lizzy frowned, dashed out of the door, grabbed Chuppi's hand, and pulled her into the Dorms; if the other Demons know that she was here with her, Chuppi would find it easier to enter in the future as well, probably.
"I think something weird is happening," She nodded, rushing back up a different stair way to get to the room Christof was in, "So... Since you're VP and all, maybe you can be a better judge of things."
She was pretty much out of breath by the time they reached the offending dorm room; surprisingly, the door was ajar and she pushed it to open it a little more, allowing herself and Chuppi to look inside.
Okay, there was something weird going on alright, but not what she had expected.

Riley's eyes widened at Sin's suggestion, and she seriously considered it. Well, if you think that's the right course of action.. Sin knew more about relationships than Riley did, she was sure. Her opinion was valuable, and Riley slowly disentangled Jericho from her tentacles (Had he been held captive this entire time? Oops!) and slid off the desk. In her eyes was a smile as she looked at Sin. Thank you for the advice. She plucked the Icky Stix away from her tentacle and handed it to Sin. You can have one blue as well, if you like.
She took a few steps to her bedroom door, and reached for the knob - just as Malodore slipped out of it and closed it quickly behind it. Riley blinked in surprise, momentarily stunned at the sudden appearance. At it's question, she snapped out of her reverie, and her eyes softened. Her arms slid up around it's neck, pulling it closer so that her forehead touched Malodore's.
Sin says I should give you something. Do you want it?
Were there other people in the room still? She couldn't remember.
