Rossville Interviews--#1

[Still Raindrop]

The other day I decided that, in between making buildings, I would try to improve my detailing, including making small two-walled areas look like full-sized buildings. I did this (and will continue to do so) with a story: having a news reporter interview various Rossville residents. Here is the first (it also contains the first images of my newest building, Castilla Amarilla Mexican Restaurant. It will get its own topic soon.

Ray Porter: Hello, Rossville. I'm Ray Porter, and tonight I will be interviewing police officer Leo Flatfoot, one of Rossville's finest law-enforcement officers.

Ray Porter: Excuse me, officer--I'm here for the interview with Officer Leo Flatfoot.

Officer: Of course. Unfortunately, none of our conference rooms are open, so you'll have to conduct the interview in interrogation room #5. Down the hall and to the right.

Ray Porter: Hello, Officer Flatfoot. It's a pleasure to be interviewing you. You are without a doubt one of the most dedicated and talented police officers Rossville has.

Officer Flatfoot: Thank you, Ray. I take my call to protect and serve the residents of this fine town very seriously, as I think all of our officers do. I wouldn't say I'm any more dedicated or talented than them.

Ray Porter: You are, however, the man who put notorious criminal Rob Banks behind bars.

Officer Flatfoot: That is true; however, I believe any of our fine officers would have done the same. I was simply in the right place at the right time.

Ray Porter: Interesting. Now, some would say that you take your job a little too seriously.

Officer Flatfoot: I don't think that's possible when you're a police officer.

Ray Porter: I am, of course, referring to the incident with the mime and the gorilla suit guy.

Officer Flatfoot: Of course.

Ray Porter: We have a tape taken by one of the parents at the incident. Perhaps, while we play it, you could tell us what was really happening?

Officer Flatfoot: . . . . I suppose I could.

Officer Flatfoot: I got a call about a disturbance of the peace outside of Castilla Amarilla; apparently two street performers were making it difficult to enter the restaurant or walk safely on the sidewalk.

Ray Porter: I see. The children look so happy, though.

Officer Flatfoot: That's true. But look how happy they are to see a police officer. It was at this point that I asked if they wanted to help me with a case; they were completely ecstatic. I told them to get behind me and watch a policeman in action.

Ray Porter: Then you informed the street performers that they were under arrest for disturbing the peace and being a public nuisance.

Officer Flatfoot: Yes.

Ray Porter: The children don't look happy any more, officer. Neither do the parents, for that matter.

Officer Flatfoot: Perhaps I didn't handle that situation in the best way at the time. Nevertheless, the law is the law. Moreover, I helped these two performers get a permit to perform in front of the restaurant; now they help draw people into the restaurant rather than keeping them from it. Everything turned out right in the end.

Officer Flatfoot: Now, if you'll excuse me, I just got a radio message and am needed back on the streets.

Ray Porter: There you have it. Officer Leo Flatfoot--perhaps a little intense, but he does his job well, and always makes sure that justice is served.
