Now, it went without saying that Riyo had no problem dishing out revenge.
In fact, she relished it. She relished finding absurd yet effective ways to pay someone back, and a certain grim reaper was no exception.
After the trash incident, Riyo locked herself away in her room as she usually did, sat down at her office, and thought. The feline thought, and plotted, and schemed. Oh, it had taken a couple of days to come up with the perfect plan, but a short memory danced into her mind from somewhere inside the crevices. The image of Roch about to vomit from the smell of... What was it again? Oh, yeah.
Peppermint.
She'd seen him at the school play briefly, and when the rat king came storming out, she recalled seeing a brief glance of purple hair and vomit. Honestly, it was too easy. Too perfect. Too good to pass up.
A trip to the market and a day later, the ghoul had all she needed for the raid. Peppermint air fresheners, peppermint potpourri, peppermint powder, candy canes, and yes, even peppermint scented soap. All concealed in an inconspicuous potato sack.
With her cat hood up, Riyo headed off towards the demon dorms. It wasn't hard to find out whose room was whose if you paid attention to anything. Sadly, that was how people usually found out where SHE was. But the biggest problem of the plan was knowing when he'd be out of the room.
Ah, but luckily for her, there was a window leading into his room, and to day it was open with the reaper nowhere in sight. Muahahahah.
It wasn't hard for her slender body to slip right through the makeshift doorway, carefully and cautiously inspecting the room before she let her boots gently rest on the floor. Huh. What a boring room. Now was not the time to gawk, however. She had no idea when he'd be back. It was time... To get to work.
His bed? PEPPERMINT. His closet? PEPPERMINT. The bathroom? PEPPERMINT. His toothbrush? PEPPERMINT (and she added a couple candy canes to his toothbrush holder for good measure). Toilet? COVERED IN PEPPERMINT AIR FRESHENERS. Underwear drawer? While it made her cringe to look, best to PEPPERMINT that too. Ugh. The smell was even getting to HER now.

The door slammed open and Roch stepped in, looking a bit irritated by something. That wasn't that big of a surprise--but the look on his face when he sniffed the air was priceless. His face turned a bit pale and he reached up, covering his nose with his hand. "What the HELL is that smell?" he demanded, looking for his minipets.
They were nowhere in sight. They'd ran at the peppermint in the bed. He looked around, a slight gagging coming from his throat, then raced into the bathroom, barely getting to the toilet before he puked.
Oh right. THAT'S what that scent was.

If Roch had been paying attention, he might've noticed the short poof of smoke from Riyo transforming and darting under his bed like some kind of scared animal on crack when he burst through the door. OH JACK. OH JACK. OH JACK.
SHE HADN'T EXPECTED HIM TO COME BACK SO SOON. The potato sack with the remnants of peppermint goodies was laying out in the middle of the floor, and all the small black cat could do was stay glued to the underbelly of his sleeping quarters. Was the door still open? Could she flee like she'd never flee'd before? It might've been possible, but while she was here, she took a few moments to admire her handiwork. Ahaha, that was sick, yet satisfying. Yes, Roch. Lose your lunch! Lose it and taste defeat at the hands of the almighty Riyo!

Roch pulled away from the toilet, wiping his mouth off with the back of his hand and grabbing the cup next to the sink to rinse it out with. "Jack," he cursed, feeling the bile come up again. "Who the hell did that?"
A part of him had to admire it, to be honest. He grunted, glad he'd only eaten breakfast, and headed inside, only to stop as he saw the bag. Crouching down he picked it up, looking inside.
Then he stood and headed for the door at a run, opening it and looking both ways to see if the culprit was escaping.

Oh, but the culprit WAS escaping. Just not the way Roch might've thought. Now was her time to move. Frankly, she didn't care if she was seen now. The smell of peppermint and vomit... Didn't mix very well. At all... And it was making HER sick.
Silently, with wide red eyes, the cat darted for the door and between Roch's legs to escape, scampering as fast as her long legs would carry her.

............
"RIIIYYOOO!!!" Roch bellowed as he saw the black cat race away. "You evil witch!!"
Which might have come as a surprise to anyone listening, because, well, there didn't seem to be a connection between Roch and Riyo. But clearly something scandalous was going on!
Roch turned and looked at his bedroom, eyes narrowed. "I'm gonna need a gas mask..."
Nothing happened for a week. Roch didn't go to the demon dorm, no random surprises were found in her room--it looked as if Riyo had gotten away with it! The lucky ghoul...

The next week of quiet was unnerving at first. Riyo was careful to make sure her doors and windows were locked at all times, and to check around every corner.
However, by the end of the week, the ghoul was able to relax just a little bit. Maybe... He had taken them as even? Roch HAD put her through the trashology class, after all. Surely that was enough.
Finally venturing out leisurely for the first time since the 'incident', Riyo carefully walked towards the exit of the demon dorms. Ah... S-she could just go to a coffee shop and fill out some papers or something. Yeah. Everything would be just fine. What could that stupid reaper really do anyways?

There was a small box in the hallway by the door. It had a delivery form on the outside with her name on it, but nobody seemed to be doing anything about it.

And the feline had been just about to walk right by it, but the sideways glance she shot towards the parcel managed to catch a glimpse of her name.
".. Wha?" She paused, rubbing her hands together nervously. She hadn't ordered anything, had she?
This seemed like a terrible setup, but what if it really was a delivery for her? Could the reaper fake a delivery form?
She really had no choice. With the clip-clop of her fancy boots, the ghoul walked over and picked the box up. She wouldn't take it into her room in case there was something terrible waiting for her, but she would take a peek in the common room.
Riyo took a seat on one of the comfortable chairs and examined the package carefully before using one of her nails to cut the tape around it. She was going to regret this, wasn't she? Oh yes... Yes she was.

The box seemed to explode as soon as she opened it. The scent of catnip filled the air and a fine dust of powder covered her and the area around her. Inside was yet more catnip treats, tiny mouse shaped toys that reeked of the stuff.
Roch probably hadn't put too much thought into what scent to use. And the boil himself was now standing at the door, grinning like an idiot. "You have ANY jackin idea how long it took to find all that stuff?" he complained.

"WHAT THE F-" BOOOOOOOOOOM.
There was coughing and gagging for a moments, and as the catnip filled air began to clear, Riyo's senses flew farther away.
Her pupils dilated, her tail drooped, and her head tilted to the side. It even looked like she might drool. "Hehe." Then a dumb smile engulfed the ghoul's face, and she looked at Roch as if he was some kind of alien. "Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii knew it! I knew your big smelly face would come around sooner or later!"
Oh Jack, were those... catnip treats at the bottom of the box? "AAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaah! Look at all this neat stuff!" The package was promptly turned upside down in her lap, some of the contents rolling off into the floor. "Oh no, get back here you ********' mouse!" Riyo's movements were anything but graceful as she practically fell on the floor, laying on her stomach as she reached out to try and grab the toy. Instead finding that she was batting it farther and farther out of her grasp. "Itsssssss sooooooo soooooooooooffffffffft."

He stared. He stared for a little longer, letting his brain and his eyes take their time debating--
Then he got out his eyephone and started snapping pictures. There was no way he was going to let this pass unrecorded! Even if he had to pause once in a while to choke back laughter. Ohhh he should have tried this EARLIER!!

And then the desire to touch everything arose.
At first it started with the little toy mouse as she finally got it in her grasp. Then to the table, then the chair, and then her eyes rested on Roch.
"Roch." She mumbled, still crawling on the ground like a drunk. "Let me touch you." It was something she'd done to both Hel and Mot back on the field trip, and it didn't appear that it would stop yet. "I... I need to touch you Roch. Let me touch you." Her arms wrapped around one of his legs tightly, apparently not phased by the sight of the eyephone. There was no time to be concerned about it. Touching was much more important. Her cheek pressed against his boots as if testing the water. "Your pants are rough. Let me touch your faaaaaaaaaace."

Roch stared. Then he raised an eyebrow. "Uh... Riyo? You sure you're okay?" he asked, discreetly trying to tug out of her grasp. She sure was... hands on, wasn't she? Well, she wasn't tryin' to get IN his pants or anything, so he guessed it could be worse...
"But if you leave your toys on the ground someone might steal them, right?" he offered, resorting to his "Danny mode" because that was the only experience he had with this sort of thing, and even that wasn't as... um... weird.

"I'm fantastic." She offered a mildly creepy answer back, glaring up at him with a smile and bright red eyes.
"Oh no." With a frightening speed, Riyo somehow managed to get up off her feet and right up to Roch's face. There was something terrifying about those orbs... "Should somebody steal what is rightfully mine, I will gladly take from them much more than they stole from me." Her tone grew deathly serious for a moment.
... Obviously Danny logic didn't work here. In a split second, her face switched back to happily oblivious. "ooooooo." Her hands reached up to touch the fuzz on either side of his head. "I bet that feels niiiiiice."
