As per the list of items he had been given Titus found himself in the cafeteria. So basically in one of the last places he ever wanted to be. Food was just not his thing, he didn't eat for a reason and the only time he bought food was to usually toss at other people. Now if he tossed anything he was going to have to clean it up as he was currently collecting trays and picking up trash. They had even forced him to wear a stupid apron no less. Ah, the glamour of probation.
With a grumble Titus set down the bin he was carrying with a little too much force and started to stack up trays and pick up bits of trash, though reluctantly. He had been torn about wearing his regular leather gloves and decided he didn't want to get them dirty but the rubber gloves they had given him just didn't fit him well so he instead had to pick up everything bare handed. Which was disgusting. He was definitely showering after this.

Astra was feeling a little hungry after buzzing around her old school grounds, and since the town was so far away she opted to go to the cafeteria for some free food. Hopefully they were serving bug omelette's today, those were yummy!
Upon arriving at the cafeteria, the ghoul stopped in mid hover at seeing a familiar boil picking up trays from the tables. She...knew this boil...wait, he was the one who tossed her across a theater! She fumed at the thought, then realized that this would be a perfect opportunity to have some fun with him.
There was some crunched up paper sitting on top of the bin, so she picked one up and, with a sly giggle, launched it right at the back of Titus's head.
---------------
As the fae was having her fun, a certain xenomorph had walked in feeling like some food himself, and upon watching a ghoul pick rubbish up and throw it at another boil he furred his brow. This...made no sense at all. Why was she doing such a thing? (Not to mention why was some of that food thrown out, dude you could eat the banana peels)
Figuring this was just something students did, Sludge picked up some paper and threw it at Titus too. He didn't know why he was doing it, he just did.

Yuki was minding his own business, actually doing the thing that people were supposed to do in the cafeteria. He was eating. Eating plain food - he hoped and had requested, at least - while casually reading over a book he appeared to be halfway through. His phone laid close by, and gave a little blip to let him know he had a text.Text from Deacon Where are you? I'm hungry. And bored.
He hadn't actually realized that there were shenanigans beginning not too far away.

There was a soft fwap sound as the paper hit Titus in the back of the head and bounced off landing on the ground just behind him. It made the demon go still, an angry glance peeking over his shoulder so he could figure out what the hell had just had the nerve to touch him. He didn't see anything immediately but then his white eyes finally settled on the piece of paper on the floor. It wasn't long before those eyes followed a line back to Astra. "Well, if it isn't the flying gnome."
Titus turned leaving the bin on the table. He was about to retaliate when another piece of paper hit him in the side of his face. Now it was safe to say that Titus had experienced a few rather bad days. In fact, those bad days had stretched out over the last few weeks and he was more than a little irritable. If the bruised ribs, cracked and glued horn, and cuts on his face weren't enough he was facing more than his fair share of family drama combined with this stupid probation.
"C’est des conneries!" He picked up the piece of paper and tried to zero in on who had thrown it and focused on the boil sitting at the table reading his book. Look at him there trying to be innocent and non-assuming. It was certainly him and wait....didn't Titus know him from somewhere?
"Hey, a*****e! You can have this back!" He balled the paper up tighter and threw it as hard as he could manage at Yuki. That would teach him.

There was a delicious pause following her paper throw as Ttitus turned to see who had thrown it, and once he did Astra just beamed at him. Until he called her a flying gnome.
"I ain't no flying gnome!" She retorted, landing on the table to pick up more paper and throwing them at Titus. "Take that! And that!"
Once he turned around to point at Yuki, she stepped up her game. And threw a tray at Titus. "And don't throw things at my boilfreind!"
------
Sludge looked very confused at the words coming out of Titus mouth. He was becoming better at understanding what creeple said but this? This was just some funny words! They had no meaning what so ever!
The ghoul was throwing more stuff at him, so he picked up some paper from the bin and threw it too. Thankfully there were no trays near for him to throw. But he threw the banana peel that was in the bin. It was a waste of food but hey, he had to throw something

Yuki looked up from the table when he heard Astra's voice.
And then he was confused by the nightmare demon's shout that was suddenly aimed at him. Wait, what had he missed? Wait, but he didn't do anything. Yuki sat up stiffly, open book in one hand and a french fry in the other that hadn't quite made it halfway to his mouth.
At least the book made a good makeshift shield for the wad of paper that had been flying toward him. It bounced off harmlessly, landed on the tabletop and rolled off onto the floor.
"What was that for?" Yuki glimpsed a banana peel soaring by in his peripheral, and looked over at the stranger throwing it. "Pretty sure it was him." He tilted his head in gesture to Sludge, apparently not perturbed by things being thrown at him or Titus.

"Could have fooled me," Titus retorted dodging at least a few of the articles of trash being tossed at him. Swift movements were a little rough though. His side was on fire and ached with every little shift of his body.
"Boilfriend? So sorry, must have mistaken him for the rest of the trash laying around." Apparently Yuki was going to be insulted whether he was apart of this fight or not.
Titus was about to turn back on Yuki himself when a banana peel came flying from no where and landed smack against the side of Titus' head. As it fell it draped over the boil's horn and hung there leaving Titus to flail to remove it. "The hell?!"
This time he managed to turn on the correct culprit, the black of his eyes slowly devouring the white orbs as his anger grew. "Cut it out you little s**t." Titus grabbed a tray out of his bin and was about to punctuate his sentence with a good beat down when a shout came from the kitchen.
"Boil!" The word was drawn out with quite a bit of sass. "You best be cleanin' now and not makin' more of a mess!"
That was enough to make Titus pause though it looked like he was still contemplating following through with his plan.

Seeing that Yuki was part of this mess now, Astra thought it was her duty to protect him from any and all sources of harm. Be it physical or emotional.
But she couldn't help but pause as she saw him hold something in his hand. Now she liked to consider herself innocent, but in this case she thought it might be fun to just toy with him. Thats what ghoulfriends did right?
"Hi Yuki!" She called out ignoring Titus for the moment. "Is that a French Fry in your hand, or are you just happy to see me?" Or something like that. The line was close enough.
Her toying done, she turned back to the nightmare boil to shout at him some more. "Yuki isn't trash so don't call him that!" And just for that comment, she decided to be real mean. The fae stood near the bin and then using her (tiny) strength, pushed it over and off the table, letting the items inside topple all over the floor.
"There! Serves you right!"
-------
The banana peel must have done something, as the boil appeared very angry now. Sludge still held the confused look on his face but that changed when he saw Titus hold up the tray. At once his eyes turned angry and he arched up on his feet, standing tall and holding his arms up with a loud screech. That tray looked dangerous, it must mean this was some sort of fight. He had to defend himself!
That was until he heard a voice in the cafeteria calling for a boil to clean. This made him kneel down into a crouch. It didn't say who needed to clean up, but he was a boil so...
Sludge crawled over to the mess of items on the floor, and began to move them about with his tail in a attempt to clean up. Orders were orders.

Yuki just wanted to have a bite to eat and read his book.
Now the jerk that was Titus and his own ghoulfriend were making jabs at him for absolutely no reason at all. "Is that a..." Yuki repeated under his breath, looking at the thin and kinda limp fry between his fingers and how could someone who had seen him naked say something so hurtful?
As if the fates of his afterlife were just trying to ******** with him, someone suddenly slapped him in the back of the head for shits and giggles.
Oh boy, just who he wanted to see.
Deacon had made a beeline for the table, apparently not giving a single ******** that anything was going on. He had his mind on food, and for that he needed cash.
"Hey ghoul, gimmie some money so I can get something to eat."
Yuki, deadpan, slowly set down his book, unpocketed his wallet, and threw in the general direction of the food line. "If you want it, go get it yourself."

When the strange boil dropped and started to pick up trash it was Titus' turn to look confused. Reeling back the tray he watched the boil until he heard a crash and saw one of his bins topple to the ground full of half eaten food, trash, and trays. The whites of his eyes were suddenly gone and he focused a solid black gaze on Astra, sharp teeth bared.
"I'm going to feed you every last piece of that." And he started to charge forward to make good on his word when he found yet another thing being tossed in his general direction. WHY WAS EVERYONE THROWING s**t!?
Titus picked up whatever it was, which happened to be Yuki's wallet, and was about to pitch it as far as he could out of anger until he realized what it was. Oh hey wallet. Yeah...he was going to keep that.
"Thanks Wisps for brains, its been a pleasure doing business." Hey Titus wasn't getting paid since this was technically 'community service'. Gross. Plus his dad had recent cut him off so he didn't really have a seed to his name. It worked out.

Astra frowned when she saw Yuki's face. She had thought her words would make him blush, or laugh or something good. He didn't seem to like what she said though. Had she said something bad?
The fae didn't have time to dwell on this as Titus was ready to tear her a new one. She wasn't concerned though, as she had been beaten up and stomped on plenty of times by others much bigger then him. She just laughed, ready to dart out of the way when she saw Deacon make a appearance and somehow Yuki's wallet landed in Titus's hands.
"...HEY GIVE BACK HIS WALLET YOU MEANIE!" She began to throw as much food scraps and waste in Titus's direction as possible. No one was gonna steal Her boilfriends wallet on her watch!
------
Being relegated to clean up boil, Sludge just continued to put rubbish in the bin and sweep it up, meanwhile glancing at the food that continued to land on the floor resulting him just repeating the task. It didn't worry him though, and he just kept cleaning.

Deacon made an irritated, grumpy sound, but still went after the ghost boil's wallet. Titus just got to it first, unfortunately.
"Oh damn," Yuki said, quite dismissively. "Looks like you've gotta fight someone else for it."
Either way, there wasn't a lot of money in it... To carry all of his money with him would have been stupid. Especially after he'd had it pilfered by the bakeneko pretty frequently in the past couple of months. A guy had to learn to protect his cash stash.
After changing his dorm locks... And after changing them again when he bought a sturdier door... Deacon only got small handouts now.
Deacon belatedly realized just who else was in close proximity, and his general irritated turned into something more sour. In trying not to be violent outright, he approached Titus and reached out in gesture. "Give me enough to get a burger and I don't give two shits if you keep the rest."
But then he had to step back, because Astra was hitting him with gross, trashed food and he was a little too narcissistic to put up with that noise. "Can you not?"

It was basically raining trash, Titus wasn't sure where it was all coming from but one thing was for sure he had a lot to clean up. His only saving grace was that there was one random boil cleaning stuff up, for whatever Jack damn reason. "Would you cut it out you flying vermin!" Any minute now he was going to be yelled at again and he wasn't even the one throwing stuff around.
With a growl he pocketed the wallet out of protest, turning to Deacon as the boil approached him. He stared hard at the boil for a moment and then at the hand held out to him. Then without hesitation he reached up, grabbed whatever trash had landed on his shoulder and placed it in Deacon's hand. "Eat up, Fleabag." Yes, very generous of Titus indeed.
Brushing pass the feline Titus decided to deal with the fairy, batting aside trash as he approached her. "Alright you tiny pest I hope you like trash a la carte style." He reached for her, long fingers grabbing for an arm while the other scooped up a random assortment of scattered food and threw it at her face.

"No! He took Yuki's wallet and I'm going to get it back!" All the while dishing out some punishment for Titus being, well, Titus.
She then stuck her tongue out when the nightmare boil asked her to stop. "Nope! Throwing trash at you is too much fun" Her enjoyment was cut short as the wallet was pocketed. Oh well, it would be good practice to steal it out of his pocket. She went to do such a thing but backed up when Titus reached for her with one hand, a pile of trash in the other. Aww how cute, he was trying to catch her.
Being as nimble as she was, it was easy for her to fly just out of his reach, her wings humming as she then darted out of the way of the flying trash. "Nah nah, you have to be faster then that!" With a cackle she flew across the cafeteria, darting low to pick up more trash and then fly over Titus to dump it on his head. Fairy bombs away!
--------
Sludge had to dart out of the way as the trash flinging war was well under way, and even though he wasn't the most cleanest boil he still didn't want to be covered in trash. Unless it was actual sludge, then he wasn't concerned.

With an unimpressed stare at the trash deposited into his open palm, Deacon turned his hand and let it drop to the floor. "Nah, seems that I'd be taking all of that glory from you if I did." The tabby extended a foot to try and trip Titus up as he went after Astra, snapping at the fae as he did. "What the hell do you think I was trying to do?"
Yuki wasn't sure if he needed to go try and 'rescue' his ghoulfriend, or just leave it be. She appeared to be enjoying herself.
He picked up one of his fries, and wrinkled his nose at just how cold they'd gotten during the distraction. Well, he wasn't going to eat those now.
Placing a scrap of paper into his book to mark his page, he slipped it into a large pocket in one of his pant legs... And pulled out a different wallet to go and get something that wasn't cold or stale.
