Cleaning House

[anchorman_ron]

Conchita, the maid, has the day off. Too bad for Ron it's the same day he discovers what happened to that rib roast he left on the counter. Baxter, that clever little mongrel, had jumped onto the counter and absconded with it. But Baxter was a little dog, and couldn't eat all of the rib roast. He left the remains to moulder in the guest bedroom

Maleficent is making the rounds. For no reason other than that she loves to torment people. So she appears in a puff of green smoke at his doorstep and presses the doorbell.

Ron hears the doorbell and about leaps for joy.

"Maybe Conchita forget it was her day off and came in anyway!" Ron really hopes this is the case, as the mess is very gross to clean. He runs to the door, gardening gloves still on his hands.

Opening, the door, his face falls to see the green-faced scorpion woman.

"Oh, hello." A thought occurs to him. "Are you Conchita's replacement?" He never did ask what she does for a living, after all.

While she waits she examines her fingernails, and his happy to see they are red and undamaged. She hates maintaining her beauty, but she works at it.

She gazes at him blandly when he opens the door. "Replacement for what?"

"Replacement for my maid. Baxter left an awful mess in the guest bedroom. It's utterly disgusting." He waves his gloves in her face.
