Vandalism Escalates to Serious Crime: Pun Jar Funds Stolen!
*by Atlaskes*
In the early hours of yet another beautiful day on AthosCraft, citizens noticed that contents of the Pun Jar were missing. Shortly after arrival, Binky, (the Sheriff’s trusted donkey) discovered a newly dug tunnel, and found the remains of the machinery used to secretly gain access to the Jar.
“It was a complex operation involving a tunnel bore and a suction device hooked up to a large storage container” Binky’s translator told us. “This is undoubtedly the work of several perpetrators, who we expect have spent a long time planning and preparing for this meticulous operation. It is an atrocious act of theft of public funds”.
As one of the fundamental pillars of our society, the Pun Jar is proudly displayed atop a hill overlooking the Shopping District. Since the introduction of the Jar, citizens have been able to rest safely, knowing that the Dad Jokers and Punsters would pay the price for their harassment of peaceful, law-abiding residents. However, these jesting rabble-rousers did not content themselves with merely an endless stream of so-called “funny content”. They also vandalised the Pun Jar itself, and put up protests against the initiative in the otherwise idyllic surroundings of the Pun Jar Hill. It seems to this reporter, that these lawless elements have become hardened hooligans, and have been left unchecked by authorities for too long.
However, the general public is currently more concerned with the rumours of freebees being handed out by a mysterious group calling themselves the Shade Sentries. Whether this group is in any way related to the criminal elements behind the Pun Jar operation is not known at this point, but unconfirmed sources inform us that the riches are coming directly from the Pun Jar loot crate. Personal gain, rather than the attack on the structure of society itself, seems to be of more interest to Arcadians, who celebrate this redistribution of funds.
