Ariane never quite got back to Julie's room due to a single and rather unfortunate text. Text from Caelius Promotion mission in 15. Training grounds.

"It better not be 15 seconds."
"Get ready to find a new partner." She didn't care if she looked a little silly talking to herself as she rushed down the corridor towards the training grounds; she just knew that 'in 15' probably meant 15 minutes and that it was a bad idea to keep Caelius waiting for any longer than 0.01 second... Who knew what sort of punishment he could dish out? at least with Julie, she just had to worry about the contents of her sink coming to life and attacking her one day...
... Sorry Julie, but Ariane will introduce Jude to you one day, and that ship will be named JuJu.
Reaching the training grounds, she panted, pulling out her phone to check the time before looking around, trying to find the leader of the death division; she wasn't late... Right? Ugh.

The theoretical fifteen minutes was looking more like fifteen hours as Ariane waited, and waited. Finally, when it seemed like it was probably more reasonable to come back in fourteen hours and thirty-five minutes, a couple of Hunters were seen heading towards the field, one of them notably familiar.
"- <******** REINDEER." Caelius finished, only the last two words of his sentence audible across the distance. The other Hunter walking in stride with Caelius replied with something that contained the words "budget" and "cleaning", and as they got closer towards the trainee, the sentence "What we need is someone to clean out this mess."
The two of them conveniently stopped right in front of Ariane, the Hunter of the non Death Division leader variety extremely confused. "What is she doing here?"
Caelius simply gave them a flat look, both of them. "If you would excuse me, Sean, I will debrief Ariane of her little mission." Sean put two and two together and simply closed his mouth, pivoted, and left, but not without giving the trainee an extremely sympathetic look.
"Follow me." The Death Hunter headed towards what would have been the nearby weapons shed, had it not been covered from head to toe with Christmas Lights and... what was that smell? He gestured towards the somewhat-clean maintenance items next to the shed. "A certain individual has conveniently decided that the weapons shed is the best and most practical area to place live reindeer. Don't ******** ask me where they came from - they've already been relocated - all that is required is some clean up work. Consider this a hands-on experience, you have thirty minutes."
Was Caelius serious? Before Ariane could ask, the Death Hunter leader had already booked it out of there, with all airs as if he had Somewhere Else Better to Be. She better get started. CLEANING UP THE SHED Holy crap does it SMELL BAD, and that's an understatement. Other than the wreckage of holly, ivy, Christmas Lights, hay, and Reindeer manure, the weapons shed seems like it is falling apart rather haphazardly. It looks like Ariane will have to clean to the best of her capabilities in the next thirty minutes. - Roll a 100 sided dice and simply match your roll to the dice results below.

"Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit."
Ariane found herself swearing after Caelius had left, her eyes wide in mild terror as she stared at the mess that the weapons shed was in; seriously, one of the reasons why she was that girl who grew up not wanting a furry pet friend was because they smell and you have to clean up after them. It wasn't a fear, but it was one of those things she really, really hated to have to do; this was like cleaning the class hamster's cage, but with more 'getting in trouble' if she did not do it well.
Sighing and resigning herself to fate (or just her superior's sick treatment), she got to work.
The lights, she decided, should come down first. If Rapunzel had hair made of Christmas lights, Ariane figured that they would look like this. Possibly just as brown and dirty from being dragged around on the ground all day long. Thus, after minutes and minutes of tugging and pulling and untangling, she managed to get part of the Christmas light untangled various parts of the shed, the smell making her want to vomit out the contents of her stomach.
... Not that she ate very much that day.

Squish.
"UGH, shiiiiiiiiiiit-"
Kintama piqued up so very helpfully as Ariane groaned, facepalming before narrowing her eyes at her foot. Or rather, what her foot was in... A mixture of something brown, something squishy, and some hay; she would refuse to wear those boots again. Never again. Those would be tossed away into a garbage bin somewhere, and if some poor unfortunate soul would like them, she would not object.
As long as she never has to wear them again.
Muttering under her breathe, she got to work, grabbing a rake as she started to rake the mixture of poop, hay and whatnot out of the shed, often stopping just to run out for fresh air; this mission better be worth it!

She wiped her sweat off her brow using the back of her hand, sighing as she frowned at the small pile of... Mess of poo and hay piling up outside. There was also the tangled Christmas lights she had removed earlier; nothing was organized and it was driving her crazy, together with the smell and the whole 'I have no idea what I am stepping in anymore' thing.
She twitched visibly, leaning on the rake in her hand as she looked around the shed; it was still a giant mess, but at least part of it looked somewhat bearable as compared to before.
Zooming into a tube like thing peek out from a corner of the room, she grinned and walked towards it, picking it up with a contented sigh - a hose. This would probably make it easier to clean out all the leftover junk on the ground... Hopefully. Tracing it back to the tap, she turned it on at full blast and started spraying all the things.

Squish.
"Thank you, Kintama, for expressing my thoughts for me."
Despite the situation, she grinned a bit before sighing, using the hose to hose off her boots before coiling it up on a random hook she had found on the wall; she would hate to leave it lying about, in case some junk got on it... Ugh, that would be utterly disgusting, if she had to use it again later. Instead, she grabbed the rake that she had been using before, using it to rake most ofthe junk out of the shed.
At least it was beginning to smell a little less like poo now, and a little more like shed... At least, she hoped it was the smell of shed and not the smell of some other ~mysterious~ thing left by the reindeer.
"Uh, this creature that looks like a deer," She shrugged before resuming her raking.

'Rudolph the shitty reindeer
was put in the weapons shed.
And when the big boss saw him
there was s**t everywhere.
I don't really know why
A reindeer was in the shed.
Just that I've been tasked to
Shovel all this s**t!'
"If I have to inhale any more of this smell I might die," She grumbled, shoveling piles of poo off the floor and out the shed; soon, it would be time. Soon. For now, she tried her best to hold her breath, rushing out to exhale and inhale again; she felt sick to the stomach... This was worse than moving that body in the Sahara.
She would do anything for that gas mask now.

Tossing the shovel aside, she grabbed the hose again, getting ready to hose down the part of the shed that she had just cleared out. That was when she heard it - a soft creeeeeeeaaaaaaak that caused her to pause, frowning when she realized that the wall beside her seemed to be swaying. In fact, it seemed to be creaking and swaying in such a manner that she was starting to wonder if the shed was even stable to begin with.
Sighing loudly, she put the hose back in its place before looking around - eventually, she found a hammer and some rusty nails, and decided that they would have to do. Just as she hammered in the last rusty nail with more force than was necessary, praying for it to hold the shaky wall steady at least till it could be inspected, her phone went off, signalling that her 30 minutes was up.
... Whelp, there's her cue.

Though Caelius was always a man of his schedule, and though he did arrive not a few moments later, he also stood a rather impressive distance away from Ariane and the weapons shed.
While in any other situation, the trainee might have gotten an entire speal about "So what did you learn about this exercise" or maybe "I expect a report about some sort of important mission lesson here", it seemed at this very point in time the Death Hunter leader just wanted to be as far away from the disaster zone as possible.
"... Get cleaned up trainee, I will see to it that others review your excellent role model example and continue salvaging the remains of this Godforsaken shed." Was what Caelius did say, not bothering to look back as he fled with the same Very Important Business Elsewhere airs.
The trainee would, a couple of days later, get a few sympathetic pats from her fellow Death Hunter division followed by a simple box at her doorway that contained only an ornate white coat with a delicate trim and a bottle of air freshener, oddly from an anonymous benefactor
