Housekeeping

Housekeeping was a special unit within the staff of the Strange and Wonderful House.

Under the leadership of a forceful woman, Housekeeping was “tasked by the Masters of this abode with cleaning each and every room at least once a year”. (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: The Lab: Setting The Alarum) Members of Housekeeping wore “bright pink rubber gloves and long black rubber coats”, and carried implements like spray bottles and toilet wands in baskets.

In the course of their activities, Housekeeping once burst in on the Laboratory and began cleaning it, much to the dismay of Gravitcher and his Artifectors. However, Spamblodgett tricked Lally, a member of Housekeeping, into the Alarum and sent her five minutes back in time, (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: The Lab: Setting The Alarum) altering the timeline so that the Artifectors had been warned of Housekeeping's impending arrival and locked and barricaded the door to prevent them coming in. (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: The Lab: The Alarum Goes Off) Housekeeping called in male reinforcements but still didn't manage to force their way in. Meanwhile, the besieged Artifectors sent an SOS to Elshanor, who made her way across the House to meet with the Housekeeping patrol. Not letting on that she'd been sent for by the Artifectors, Elshanor persuaded them to go clean the Library instead. (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: Heebie Jeebies)
