Introduction to Law Enforcement, Monday

"Hello, children!"

How did Lucifer manage to pair that bright grin with a look that read please stay at the agreed-upon distance? "Welcome to our crime scene."

... They were in the Danger Shop, yes, made up to look like the intersection in front of Lucifer's new house. There was a body on the ground, on the steps of the Post Office, and the wreckage of a rickshaw just a few feet away, in front of Fast Eddie's.

"Today is the first of our classes on observation. Observe the crime scene."

A long pause.

"... Well, go on, observe the crime scene. Do I have to do everything around here?"

You could, presumably, at least try to give them some kind of sense what they should be looking for, Lucifer.

He did not.

"Can't be," Delirium shrugged, "It's not a person. It's a bunch of light that sort of looks like a person? But it's not even alive."

"It's a simulation. Haven't you ever heard of computers?"

"Of course I have," Del said, giving him a look in the key of 'duh'. "That's where kitty memes live. But why?"

"We are in a massive computer," Lucifer said, audibly losing what little patience he'd had to begin with, "Because the alternative is either finding a murder, or creating one, and I've lost my appetite for killing humans."

Not that he'd ever had much of one to begin with.

"Oh. You're on a diet. I guess you can't have a diet without 'die'," Delirium mused. Beamed, "Kitty memes! Garfield said that!"

She glanced at the scene. "You want us to look at a simulation of a murder? Sort of like caffeine-free sugar-free cola?"

"Yes," Lucifer said. With emphasis. "Now hurry along and do as you're told, before your hair gives me a migraine."

Del threw her hands up in the air in exasperation, "FINE! I'll go look at your picture!"
