[WQDH01.05] Sweeper

By Miguel Enrico Gonzales -

A tumbleweed trundles along the vast hall. A second look reveals this is not a tumbleweed but an oversized dust ball.

This grand foyer is not as majestic as it once was. Large flakes of bright paint peel off the walls. Dust covers wooden carvings and ornaments that are all just slightly too large for the cabinets they sit on. A dry staleness fills the air. The most notable feature is the lack of an eastern wall. Beyond it, the derelict ship's captain's quarters are visible, albeit appearing much larger than they were a few seconds ago.

As the Cantina's crew searches the dollhouse foyer, a new figure slowly enters the room, a toy sloth holding a broom smiles warmly as it  approaches. “Hello... visitors...  Guests... Friends... "  It greets the party is a very slow speech.  "It’s... been... so... long... since... we’ve... seen... anyone... else.... My... fellow... workers... have... become... hopeless... over... our... lack... of... purpose,... but... not... me.... I... knew... someone... would... come... eventually.... You... can... help... renew... our... reasons... for... being... here...”

A frown flashes across its face for the briefest second before it softens, it's voice bubbling with enthusiasm. “Or... maybe... you... could... even... ... help... us... finally... leave... this... place...! The... Warden... wouldn’t... listen... to... me..., but... maybe... she’ll... listen... to... you.... Or... better... yet..., you... can... help... gather... everyone..., and... show... them... there’s... a... world... outside.... We’ll... need... to... enlist... as... many... as... possible... to... our... cause... to... even... have... a... chance... of... gaining... an... audience... with... The... Warden,... but... I... think... it... might... work.... That... is,... if... you’re... willing... to... help.” It's dark eyes stare longingly at the open wall. 

“Forgive... me.... I... am... Sweeper..., a... janitor... of... sorts... around... here,... not... of... much... importance,... but... I... know... everyone... and... everything.... Pleased... to... meet... you...”
