Introduction to Law Enforcement, Monday

"Well, hello, children."

Lucifer was clad in an impeccable black suit with a red vest and - of course - matching pocket square. He was also clad in the world's broadest insincere smile. "My name is Lucifer Morningstar, though you can call me Beelzebub in a pinch if you prefer," he began, with his heavy posh British accent in full swing. "I'll be your - ugh, I can't believe this - teacher for this semester in all things law enforcement."

A pause.

"I am not a cop, mind you. No, the cops have their own ways of going about this sort of thing, they can just be so... limited. A tragic thing, because finding the wicked, punishing them, that's no small task for any human to bear. Sometimes you won't get where you need to be with a dour face and your best Miranda-ing shout, you need wit and charm and a willingness to trade some trivial bit of evidence for more insight."

He was keeping his distance from the children. They seemed hateful.

"But that'll be next week's lesson. I've been told by this lovely brochure that the first week is introductions and I don't actually have to do anything." He gestured at a random student. "You. Your name, your class, and... ah, I don't know. Someone wicked you've once punished?" His expression went... difficult. "Or just tell us what you desire most from these next few months, whatever suits your fancy."

He sprawled in his seat, eyeing the class with a mixture of casual disdain and genuine concern.

Tip waved. "Um, hi. I'm Gratuity Tucci. Most people call me Tip. I'm a senior, and . . . I once helped keep a crooked politician from stealing a culture's first presidential election?"

She'd been twelve. One of the candidates was a parrot. Tip had lost all hope for American-style democracy even before the shit show in 2016.

"Uhhh, welllllll," said Prompto, slowly, because he still thought this was kind of a weird class for him to be in, but maybe it made a little bit of sense if you squinted hard enough, and he couldn't even begin to guess which one of the guys back home was responsible for this one, "my name's Prompto. Prompto Argentum. And I can't think of a time I really punished someone, like, actually wicked before?" Except perhaps just a few weeks ago when he threw his best friend and little sister into a torture chamber because he was brainwashed into thinking she was wicked, but, yeah, yeah, totally not bringing that gem up in class. "But I guess, uh, my...desire?...for the class is to just sort of make it out alive?"

It was all anyone could really hope for from this school these days.

"Lana Beniko," she introduced herself. "I'm a junior. I may be part of keeping the law at home when I return there, so I thought I might find it interesting how other cultures do that."

"Uhhh, well," said Prompto, his head tilting just as much only this time just in the other direction, because, yes, he was very easily disconcerted, thank you, "that wasn't at all what I was worried about, but I do appreciate you taking care of the concern that I didn't even know I should have had. Also, dude, two of my best friends aren't humans, might not hurt to update that a little to just students in general."

"That depends on the Sith, really," Lana said. "Some will work with the local military and leave it mostly up to them, some will get more involved. And that can mean anything from being slightly intimidating to lightning or choking people to death. Personally, I'd prefer not to have to kill the people I'm protecting if I can avoid it, so the more options in my arsenal, the better."

It was nice to have a teacher with a proper Kaas accent, even if around here that probably didn't mean he was from Kaas. It was both comforting and terrifying, a bit like home.

"Um," Tip said. She was half-Italian. Making her go to church regularly as a small child was pretty much the only "normal" thing her mother had done. She was very uncomfortable with what she knew about the names the teacher had used. "Okay. I mean. I called him several bad names on interplanetary TV? And got him thrown into an alien prison. Is that punishmenty enough?"

Elisabeth didn't recognize either of the names, didn't know what Miranda-ing meant, and was mostly just taking notes with a quill and parchment like she was back in the Library. She could see how this class could be useful for her as a warden, even if everything about it, down to the teacher's dress, struck her as very odd.

"I'm Elisabeth Scrivener and this is my first class," she said, not knowing any other answer to give. "I've never punished anyone wicked-" the other way around if anything, "-so I suppose the thing that I desire is to spend the rest of my life being a warden for Summershall?"

“Thanks.” Yeah, Tip was not going to argue with the devil. He could forget her name all he liked.
