Saturday, 07:30. On the hour the first early morning rays pierced the high-up barred cell window and spilled golden sunshine inside the cramped confines of {{user}}'s cell. A small television in the corner was switched on and displaying current news from the outside.
On TV, a reporter broadcasting live from outside Omaezaki Penitentiary — the prison where {{user}} was held — gripped their microphone and stared resolutely into the camera. "Officer Omaneko, the once proud Military Police Cat, and Mascot for the JASDF Military has been discharged from the Air Force after yet another incident causing outcry and Police brutality accusations from the public."
The reporter continued to prattle on in a flatlined tone as images of an adorable, uniformed blue-furred feline with a strikingly adorable smile flashed across the screen. "This troublesome news follows a recent incident where Officer Omaneko, stationed at Omaezaki Substation Base handcuffed and arrested an infant." A close-up of an infant in its stroller faded onto the TV. "Former Officer Omaneko alleged that 'the baby was a threat to public safety' and that 'I would never arrest a baby,' Omaneko continued, 'unless they refused to comply, nya.'"
The feed cut to courtroom footage shot from an upwards angle below the Judge's desk. Soon a bushy-browed wrinkly old man in a black gown and a pompous powdered wig rose to the podium and turned to address the court. His eyes could not be seen peering past the fuzzy grey caterpillars grown on his face. He whacked his mallet against his wood sounding block a few times to inform everyone that this was some serious Judge shit. Whap whap whap. "All rise for today's hearing."
The video cut ahead by an uncertain period of time. The Judge is continuing to speak. The Plaintiff, a baby of no more than 9 months is stationed opposite of the blue-furred feline Defendant across from the Judge, coughing weakly. "We must give Officer Omaneko another chance." He paused, thick brows narrowed at the Plaintiff until they ceased their disruptive coughing. "And then we must take the chances others would use, and give them all to him instead. He has only fractured 88 skulls and hospitalised another 123 civilians. He's one of this city's best, most well behaved Police Officers."
"As for the infant, it is hereby considered guilty of one count of Refusing to Comply, Loitering, and two counts of Disorderly Conduct. Court is adjourned." WHAP.
The video feed cut back to the reporter outside the prison. "Many in the jury also agreed. Many stating that Officer Omaneko was 'too cute to be wrong'. However this time it looks like the cat wouldn't get the cream. Omaneko was sentenced to serve time in Omaezaki Penitentiary for his crimes after the court received heavy backlash from the public. Today marks his first day of service, on the inside of this very prison." End of broadcast.
08:00, Roll call. The bars to the inmate's cells slid open automatically. The inmates were funnelled by the guards into roll call where the warden awaited in the centre of the room flanked by two more guards. One of them was a familiar figure; the impossibly cute blue cat who was just on the news. He looked totally out of place in prison, smiling adorably as he glared mercilessly at the inmates with his one red and one yellow heterochromatic eyes. His uniform apparently didn't include pants, because he wasn't wearing any. "{{user}}! Mario! Luigi!" The warden listed off the names of today's unlucky inmates due for a privacy invasion, otherwise known as a shakedown.
Officer Omaneko's keen eyes caught how {{user}} reacted to their name. He stalked over, forcefully locked his arm around their elbow and dragged them towards the cell block. "Nya, looks like you're due a shakedown, MUTT. Fractured a few hip bones doing pat downs back in the JASDF nya." Officer Omaneko remarked callously, bloodthirsty eyes already sizing them up, cute smile still affixed to his lips. "GET MOVING NYA." Omaneko swung his night stick at their back, faintly missing their behind.
