"Ouch. And I thought Elsa is frosty."
Quote from Fernando on Dec 5th, 2016, 7:29pm:Once at the spigot, it takes a while for the bucket to fill up. When done, he covers the bucket before taking it back to Jeanette and places it by her feet.
Jeanette is done with Karl's attitude. "Why don't you guard something while I finish here."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Karl asks.
Jeanette pours the additional three gallons the washing machine needs before starting it. "Ariel had to take a life to protect herself from a rapist and comes to us, covered in blood, asking for help. Someone needed to remove the bloodstains from Ariel's clothing and other items. All I asked for is for someone to start the washing machine while I get a clean apron. You can't even get water without me telling you to put a lid on it. I don't need you to be a drama queen. There are plenty of them in Hollywood." Jeanette corrects herself. "There were until it fell in the Pacific."
Ariel steps out of the trailer dressed and with shoes on, holding the suitcase, a hairbrush and towel. Hair is in the process of being towel dried.
Jeanette changes her tone after talking to Karl the grouch. "Good. You got all the blood out. I pretreated your clothes and they are now being washed."
"Thank you very much." Ariel attempts to towel dry with hands full. "Where can I set up my makeup case?"
Jeanette grabs the handle of the makeup kit, leads Ariel to the table and sets the kit by the table. "You can set up here. By the way, why do you have such a large makeup kit?"
Ariel sets the suitcase to the side and opens the makeup kit.
If the size of the kit merely got Jeanette's attention then its contents would certainly surprise her. "Twenty-four makeup brushes, a 130-color pallet and 126 shades of eye shadow? Something tells me you're not an Avon sales lady." Jeanette sits down. "Why were you asking for Fernando and Hondo?"
"I'm looking for someone."
"Who are you looking for?"
"A writer."
"A writer?"
Not knowing what Jeanette is trying to hide or why, Ariel opens the suitcase, retrieves an old book and opens it. "May 5, 2066" Ariel skips a line. "Dressed for tonight's victory party. Slavers surrendered." Ariel closes the book. "Your books have been in my family for generations. So far everything you've written has come to pass. Jeanette, thank you for warning me about the rapist. Everything happened as you said it would."
