Unruliness Disrupts Tranquility at 2240

Chief Inspector Matsui has been busy in the past 24 hours do to a number of formal complaints that have been lodged against the disruptive behaviors of select young men in the community. The series of misdemeanors in 2240 began with a well-intended citizen by the name of Needles, who kept Chief Inspector Matsui up for the better part of the night by demanding constant attention and petting during Matsui's allotted sleeping hours. Matsui complained of receiving excessive love from Needles, who relentlessly demanded reciprocation by sitting on her mouth, inserting his ears into her palm for scratching, and pouncing on her feet. The dispute was settled the next morning with Matsui's acceptance of Needle's good intentions in exchange for a promise (hopefully) by Needles to limit his display of affection to normal waking hours.

In the late morning, however, the freshly established goodwill between Matsui and Needles was put to the trial when he knocked over the paper recycling bag onto the kitchen floor. Needles assured the Chief Inspector and the gathering crowd that he was only feeling playful towards the bag, and had no intentions of creating such disruption in the community. Matsui once again accepted the formal apology, and set to straightening up the neighborhood as Thomas walked away shaking his head at the junior.

This evening, the series of misdemeanors came to a climax while Chief Inspector Matsui was preparing her dinner. "Everything was going smoothly as usual," she explained later to the press. "I was preparing some baby octopus while listening to great music and enjoying my beverage." The problem arose when citizen Jack jumped up on the counter to see the latest in the Countertop Neighborhood. He saw not much in the way of the extraordinary, except for a glass of je ne sais quoi, which the inspector was sipping on from time to time. "Jack at that moment thought of a clever prank," recounts Matsui. "He swatted at the beverage, and when he was scolded, tried swatting it a little bit harder." The result was a loud crash and an explosion of glass debris across the kitchen floor. The shock of the catastrophe was enough to send Jack skidding across the room for protection, and he hid in the laundry room for a quiet moment of self-reflection and penitence.

  1. Mayor Dewar would like to know if Citizen Needles' callous cheating ways with Chief Inspector Matsui extend to the tongue in the nostril show of affection. She thought that was a ritual shared only between the two of them.

    Glasses can be replaced. President wheeler is very saddened to hear of the wasted valuable nectar INSIDE the glass. He hope that Citizen Jack was duly processessed (sp?) for such a major transgression.
