Back on topic, are any of these characters mean to represent any actual 667ers, Bear?

Since Bear says it's not absurdist, I guess these people have identities which will be revealed in due course.
Since it's in CC and not FF, I guess it's our Dark Avenue and not Snicket's Dark Avenue.
So probably yes.

SCENE 3
Three people and a dog stand in the hallway outside of the apartment. One of the people is a stranger. The stranger continues to mumble.
P4: Hey stranger, your dog is cute.
DOG: I’m not their dog. I followed them up here because I could smell mischief.
P3: Mischief? Should we be defending ourselves?
DOG: No, I know exactly who this fool is. I just know it.
P3: Do tell.
DOG: It’s the mayor, of course.
P4: We have a mayor?
The dog nudges the stranger.
DOG: Isn’t that right, mayor?
P3: I don’t know. Those eyes don’t look like mayor eyes.
STRANGER: Woof … woof woof …
P4: The stranger just barked.
DOG: The mayor identified me, a dog. Let’s go back into the apartment and see if, given some more time, the mayor will identify the other people.

SCENE 4
Six people and a dog occupy the apartment. One of the people is a stranger. The first person glares at the dog. The second person eats cheese crackers. The third person and the fourth person are listening to the stranger. The fifth person is asleep in the corner. The stranger continues to mumble.
P1: What did I say about staying in the hallway?
P3: Shush. We’re back to test something out.
P4: This is killing me. This stranger makes me feel like my great-granny. I need hearing aids. Well, keep an eye on them. I am taking a bathroom break.
The fourth person goes to the bathroom.
P3: No worries. I won’t let the stranger out of my sight.
DOG: You mean the mayor.
P1: What’s this crap about a mayor?
P3: The dog thinks they know the stranger.
DOG: We found out the stranger is the mayor.
P2: We have a mayor? …Hey, you guys want some cheesy crackers?
P1: I doubt we have a mayor.
DOG: I’ll show you what I think of that.
The dog lifts its leg and pees all over the carpet.
P1: God damn dog! I told you all! It was waiting to piss! The whole time!
The first person kicks the dog. The stranger screams.
STRANGER: The first person is a monster. Don’t kick dogs.
P3: How loud the stranger speaks! Why are they speaking clearly all of a sudden?
P1: I don’t care.
The first person throws the dog out the window.

I didn't really trust the dog at first, but now I'm just worried about it. I was silently upset during most of 'Anchorman' after the dog got thrown off a bridge. I hope this dog comes back into the story, if just to reassure us that it's all right. Don't hurt dogs.

i don't remember where this story was going, but it was an allegory about mona becoming admin that i stopped writing when mona's adminship was revoked. let's see, i believe i was the first person. 2 was peppermince. 3 was mona. 4 was trip. 5 was bsam. terry was the greaser. teleram was the dog. tragedy was the stranger.

For the record: dogs pissing on carpets are merely not OK, but kicking and defenestrating a dog, no matter what they've done, would be considered downright immoral.
