Police Station

The Sala City Police Station is the headquarters of local law enforcement, primarily represented by Officer Barky. Though small in scale, it plays a recurring background role in keeping order amid the city’s absurdity.

Overview

• Location: Sala City – Near City Square
• Primary Officer: Officer Barky
• Function: Enforces laws, mediates chaos, and occasionally loses paperwork to mild surrealism.
• Architecture: A squat, brick building with a roof antenna shaped like a pawprint. Its interior smells faintly of coffee, stress, and justice.

In-Universe Role

The Station is one of the few civic institutions in Sala City that still functions—if loosely. Barky’s disciplined nature contrasts sharply with the town’s dreamlike citizens, grounding stories in reluctant realism. Despite his professionalism, most cases he handles end in confusion rather than resolution.

Appearances

• Referenced in Aftermath of Chaos during Barky’s response to the billboard incident.

Trivia

• The station calendar has featured the same month—“Perpetuary”—for three years running.
• Its radio only picks up Sala City News when it wants to.
