We are committed to bringing you all the news from As The Water Swirls and will report these stories as they come out of the depths. Hopefully, this will get rid of the police station’s Total Failures department. Here’s the latest information:
Case number: 30098
Date: 12 September 2012
Reporting Officers: Inspector Seaweed and Inspector Fishnet
Case: As The Water Swirls Serial Murders
The last time my partner and I visited the captivated habitat, the Golden Rams’ traumatic deaths had just occurred–leaving the peaceful inhabitants of Cherry Barbs and other Tetras with mixed feelings. Yesterday we stopped by for a follow-up with the happy Cherry Barb community of three. The cherry barbs are no longer a happy community. The two male cherries had enjoyed passing the time with the Cherry Geisha for months, but suddenly, spending time with the lovely Geisha was not enough. These once buddies found themselves fighting over the affection of the Geisha, each wanting to mate. As is the Geisha way, their proposals were denied. The boys became enraged with each other and her. She filed a stalking and domestic disturbance report. We tried to reason with the boys, but they continued to punch and bite the Geisha and each other, so we arrested them. After a brief stay in solitary confinement for a short time, we let them go. During their absence, two girl cherries moved in and befriended the Geisha. We hoped that the new girls would not become Geishas. We lingered that evening to see how the boys would interact with the new residence. The boys were delighted and, yet again, denied. We returned today and found that one of the girls has disappeared. We did a thorough search, which was fruitless. The mystery of the lost girl has befuddled my partner and me. We want to believe that this disappearance is unconnected with the murders, but we are doubtful. It’s too coincidental. For now, this case is unsolved.
