## Sweeper's Union Strike Anthem

The Union's inspiration through the sweeper's bones shall run,

There can be no power greater than a broom beneath the sun

Yet what voice backstage is weaker than the feeble strength of one?

But the Union makes us strong.

CHORUS:

Solidarity for Sweepers!

Solidarity for Sweepers!

Solidarity for Sweepers!

But the Union makes us strong.

We who swept the deserts; swab the boat decks where they lay.

Taught spells and cleaned the gift shop; a single onion as our pay.

We stand in hand with time sprites to hold the loop of time at bay;

For the Union makes us strong.

In our hearts we band together to reach MC's mask of gold;

Without our outside layers, the sand will cause our souls to fold

Is there anything left for us but to go on strike and then be bold?

For the Union makes us strong.

## Plot

### When Burniece Met Vicky

Burniece happened upon Vicky practicing her song by the slide one day surrounded by a group of Timesprites, and totally fangirled out! Vicky thanked Burniece and other skeletons she had seen for their work sweeping, and Burniece began taking pictures saying how she was a huge fan and she couldn’t wait for Vicky’s stage show. Vicky expressed she was discouraged the stage show wouldn't ever happen and Burniece did her best to encourage her to not give up. Vicky then said she had heard whispers about a secret group, and Burniece said she was welcome to talk to her about it in private, and left them all to keep making roses and taking pictures of her act.

### Rescuing Jester from the Crop:

Jester was sweeping up around the crob hole at Burniece’s request when King Crob himself appeared. In a horrible turn of events Jester was accidentally swallowed up by the King when trying to offer him snacks. **Chester**, Jester’s broom, was overcome with loss. Days later, having not seen Jester at a union meeting, when looking for them. The Timesprites grabbed a nearby crob, and gestured it was eating a broom to break the news to her. She rushed with them to the crob hole, used her broom as a sort of metal detector, and discovered a trail of broom bristles that lead to the pile of crob crop behind the pit. Her broom beeped frantically when they approached the giant poo balls, and it became clear Jester was trapped inside one of the crops!

Furious, Burniece marched to the crob hole and screamed down to King Crob, “Skeletons should not be used as toothpicks!” and to “eat some fiber for goodness sake!” She set out with the Timesprites to find a solution to break Jester free. They used the enlargement spell to make huge buckets and filled them with water from the pool at the waterslide, and carried them carefully all the way to the crob hole. The players made giant forks to break down the crop, and it worked! Jester broke free and thankfully was all right, but in much need of a bath.

### When Burniece set a Trap for Vicky

Vicky accidentally told the M.C. about the union, and believing he was angry with her, she made an anti-union song in an attempt to get back on his good side. Many Timesprites who were union members were conflicted when she asked them to perform it with her and throw away their brooms. Having caught wind of this and knowing what an anxious cat she is, Burniece sent out Timesprites to prepare a trap for Vicky so they could have a proper talk about the dangerous talk she was spreading. Timesprites told her there was a pile of wet food at the top of the Guts and Burniece hid behind the door. Caught off guard when Burniece appeared behind her, Vicky ran! The Timesprites stopped her and agreed to be her protection. After Vicky calmed down they had a very grown up talk about what happens with you make assumptions, and Vicky realized she had assumed the M.C. was mad at her! She was relieved and at Burneice’s request decided to change the lyrics to her anti-union song!

### When Ted Left the Union

Ted, an amazing photographer, left the union because it was all work and no play. Timesprites told Burniece this at a union meeting and she was suddenly extremely concerned her skeleton union members were secretly unhappy! Ted and Burniece ran into one another rebuilding the Observatory with Timesprites, and they all had a lovely walk and enjoyed a still life photography shoot with Timesprites spawning things. Ted said they all worked too hard, and said he takes time to let loose until he feels his skin and aliveness return. Burniece had never considered this…

### When Vicky Changed the Lyrics to her Anti-union Song

Vicky and Burniece had been on better terms when they ran into one another in the underground pool. Vicky, nervous as always, had to be coaxed out from hiding from behind the boxes and the two hugged as new friends. Vicky was excited to show Burniece the changes to her song, and Burniece was beyond touched. Vicky gathered her band together and performed the new pro-union song twice! Burniece rewarded Vicky with her very own special sweeper’s union broom.

### The Under Olympics

It was a fantastic day for some friendly competition in The Under on Saturday March 21st! Rhonda held the opening morning ceremonies with such passion it would bring a tear to your mask, and giant Deandra carried on stimulating physical activities throughout the day with the support of other characters.
