Monster High[]
Despite the September Semi fiasco of yesterday that forced all the RADs to precautionarily keep their children inside, Cleo was able to dodge the bullet because her father was out of town. He is due to return that night, though, and Cleo and her servants, Hasina and Beb, are working hard to prepare a suitable welcome. Ramses de Nile and his assistant Manu arrive a little earlier than planned, but most of the preparations are already done. Cleo greets her father and is surprised when he greets her back with a warmth that is unusual for him. Despite being out of town, Ramses knows everything that happened yesterday, except for the involvement of RADs other than Frankie Stein. His concern for his daughter's safety is what brought on his unusual demeanor. Cleo becomes secretly annoyed that her father somehow always manages to know what's happening, even when he's not there. She accompanies him to the throne room, and Ramses talks about the excavation work in his sister's, Nefertiti's, tomb and the impressive jewels found there. Manu opens the briefcase to show Cleo the finds, but to Ramses' annoyance, Cleo is only interested in one item: a Vogue business card from Anna Wintour. Cleo insists he tells the story behind obtaining it, and Ramses confides he met the normie on the plane from Cairo and that she was looking to do a "Cairo Couture" fashion shoot in the Oregon sand dunes, featuring Nerfertiti's jewels. Ramses makes no secret of his disinterest, but Cleo is ecstatic. She insists he contacts Anna Wintour to be a model for the shoot and wear her aunt's jewelry, promising in return that she'll supervise the shoot to make sure their interests won't be damaged. Ramses eventually gives in and is profusely thanked for it. Next, Cleo tries to text her friends to meet with them and speak about the shoot. [Source]
