"Exactly. Hold still," Venus said, smearing a grimy brown/green paint mix across Christina's forehead.

(I'm back!)

"Venus, when you're done with Christina's makeup, could you just touch mine up a bit? Make it darker?" Blaine asked, moving to stand by the makeup artist.

"Yuh-huh," Venus mumbled, focusing on the task at hand. Finally, she pulled the brush away and blew slightly on the wettest spots for a couple seconds. "Ok, you should be good."

(What is Blaine?)

“Thanks Venus. Hey Blaine, where am I stationed?”

“Thanks Venus. Hey Blaine, where am I stationed?”

Blaine nodded toward a coffin on one wall. "Over there. You remember what to do?"

(Ok.)

Venus went over to her shelves of face paint and selected a dark brown mixture. She went back over and plucked a long, thin brush. She filled in some of the lighter areas of Blaine's face, then examined her work. "Ok, you're good." She washed the brush off quickly. "Anything you need me to do? Should I do tickets or something?"

“Nah,” Jane called. “I’m good over here.”

"Ok. Blaine, anything I need to do?"

"Thanks." Blaine turned to Jane. "You sure you don't need help? 'Cause it looked pretty busy out there."

“I’m sure,” Jane said, manning her post at the front with determined cheerfulness.

"All right, if you say so. Venus, you can lead a second group a few minutes behind mine, then," Blaine directed.

"Ok," Venus shrugged. "Just gimmie a minute to clean up my stuff."

(Never been to a haunted house -I know, I'm so lame!- so what do I do?)

Ender stood at the register, bored out of his mind. "Are you sure we're gonna get business today?"

"Did you completely miss the line out there?" Blaine scoffed. "Yes, we're definitely getting business today."

"I came in through the backdoor!"

"Ookaaay? So that means that you didn't see the front at all?"

"No…is there something special out there?"

Venus watched as the crowd drew closer. "Yeah, plenty of business and plenty fast! Get ready, Jane."

Blaine groaned.

"Yes. The line… The long line that we were just talking about…" she droned.

"Maybe Jane could do Water and I could be the creepy guy…"

"Ender! We don't need another creepy guy, we need a water person," Blaine exclaimed, running a hand down her face. "Would you just go do your job, already?"

Venus snickered.

Ender rolled his eyes. "You're always so touchy when you're stressed…"

"I'm not—" Blaine started to exclaim, but she took a breath and let it out. "Just do your job, would you?"

"Fine! But tomorrow, I get to shout at people…"
