RE: The Maid Manor ((First post Updated 3/10/11 -- Please Look))
While everyone hustled about her, taking food, fetching ladders, and whatnot, Aislyn walked over to the control panel and switched the whole unit off. It wasn't actually refrigerating anything, so why leave it on? She laid out a few screwdrivers, rags, and wrenches of different sizes near the step ladder, and tossed her coat haphazardly onto the floor of the unit. Her body was a lot lankier than it first appeared under the jacket, especially since all she wore was a white tank-top that hugged a few of her meager curves just enough to show her form, but still had plenty of room left to be loose-fitting. There were even a few grease stains on the shirt that were almost faded away, scars of battles fought against other broken machines.
A rag hung out of her mouth as she quickly undid the screws on the fan unit, unscrewing with one hand while her other caught the screws for later. Once the plate was unfastened, she held the screws out to her apparent assistant holding the ladder. The unit screeched a little as she pushed it aside, switching the screwdriver and rag into reversed positions, wiping the leaking liquid that she saw on the fan unit and ceiling, then sweeping the rag up inside the ceiling to wipe at the mess that the cooling unit had made. "Dehrs za fash-aight ahn mah bahg. Geh et." She tried to pass a bit of a command with the screwdriver in her teeth. Thankfully, the assisting member of the crew figured it out and handed her a flashlight, for which she traded the screwdriver.
She turned it on and got a better look at what she was doing, fumbling about until she found the source of the leak. Since the crack in the piping was leaking a liquid, it was easy to find. A bit of wiping with the rag, and she brought out the tube of sealant from earlier. It was a thick gray paste that she spread onto the crack like a wad of gum, using her hand to smooth it out, cranking on the stuff until it flattened and spread around the pipe. It was a temporary solution, but it'd buy plenty of time to get a replacement unit. A bit more wipe-up and she brought down the dirty rag, actually leaving the fridge to toss it away and wash her hands. When she finished with that, she replaced the fan unit and turned the whole fridge on. The fans hummed to life and a slight cold twinge began flowing through the unit again.
"You're going to need to replace the cooling unit. There was a crack in the pipework. It's sealed up for now, and it could work for a few months... But the sooner we replace it, the better. If you do have the replacement parts, it'll be easier to install it when we can get something to keep the food cool while I work. It'd probably take an hour or two. Wouldn't want to spoil any food..."
Ebony snapped her fingers, ordering a few workers to get the food out and check it to make sure none of it had spoiled in any way. If anything was wrong or they thought was wrong, they were to record it, how much it weighed and what it was. Loosing food was more expensive then anything, since thats where the money mostly went, the food. Looking back at the female, Ebony bit her tongue, not wanting to admitanly agree with the girl in saying that yes, she was short but either way, one would still need a step stool to reach the fans. She ordered someone to bring a step ladder and to hurry.
"I hope you can deal with this soon. If so, be expected to be payed handsomely for this little job."She said, giving the woman a hint that when a good job was done you were greatly rewarded in many ways.
Turning, she saw one of the maids enter with a step ladder, opening it and setting it next to Aislyn."Alright, everyone leave her be. You. Keep a hold on the stool, the last thing I need if for my new maintance person to die from a broken neck."Ebony stepped out of the mildy warm cooler, though did not leave. Instead,she stayed and watched, while everyone else went back to there business in cooking.
