Steelworkers Strike day 8 (+9)
The strike has entered its first full week, and Twilight Sparkle has sent another letter in response to the steelworkers' collective shunning:
Respected Comrade:
I'm crying right now because your people shrugged me and the rest of Equestria off like second-class citizens the other day. I thought you all knew better, but is seems that that is not the case.
To make things clear, I did not come into power because of any power exertion on Hasbro's part; in fact, that episode was originally written [my ascension] in November 2011, [ http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/02/unicon-2013-panel-writers-room.html ] (link broken) so that was a while in coming, and NOT a last-minute decision to sell toys. Your steelworkers need to know this, and stop their incessant striking, their racist language, and their demands for stripping of my royal titles and/or death.
I also want to visit the country personally to bring an end to the strike tomorrow.
Princess Twilight Sparkle
Day 9: Twilight Sparkle arrives and the Great Leader meets her in a cafe in Arlington's Historical District. From their conversation, it is clear that they want the strike to end, not for the government's reasons but for the economy's survival. Thankfully, more strikers left since the letter was read (mainly from the rolling mills and art shops where the steel is processed), but they want ALL of the strikers to return to work at this point - they (and arguably, half of Cosarara) have had just about enough.
Two hours later, the Great Leader calls the leader of the strikers (through a public phone, to not cause a stir) and tells her to call the remaining strikers (from the mills themselves) to a meeting at the Party headquarters, specifically the People's Lawn (which is to be re-named "February 16 Memorial Garden" in a ceremony on March 16th to commemorate those who died in the attacks on the Cosararan Financial Center [don't worry, I still haven't forgot!]), to hear the Great Leader and several guests speak.
We'll see the proceedings in a while...
