Introduction to Law Enforcement, Monday, September 30, 2019

[texted3times]

Well, it wasn't Lucifer in the front of class today, it was an extremely tall, imposing blond man bleeding ever so slightly from his ears.

"I am Eric," he told them. "Lucy is detained today and asked me to fill in for him. I'm fairly certain he was being sarcastic, but I do so love spending time near teacup humans--"

He did not. "--plus I am a sheriff, so I have plenty of experience with law enforcement."

Kind of. If you squinted.

He sighed heavily, a clear affectation because he didn't breathe. "I have been told that killing a DJ who plays nothing but disco music--and not even the popular disco music, but really obscure shi--stuff--is 'illegal' and 'wrong' and a 'waste of life.'"

That was a lot of sarcastic air quotes, Eric. "I'm not that convinced. I think it saves my ears from horror and provides an excellent incentive to other DJs to play better music."

He waved in a disinterested way at the students. "So. Pair up, come up with a different punishment for the tone-deaf, horrifying DJ that isn't killing them or come up with a way for me to kill him and not get caught. Your choice. You have oh...a half hour. Go."

Del

Listen to the lecture!

[texted3times]

...probably more confused.

Re: Listen to the lecture!

Tip didn't bother to contain her eyeroll at the fussing over disco.

Re: Listen to the lecture!

[following_my_fishie]

Delirium listened. For a value of 'listened' that meant 'made a bunch of unpoppable pretty bubbles float into the air.

Until one word yanked her back out of her reverie so fast you could almost hear the sonic boom.

"Lucy?!" she all but shrieked, the incredulity and sudden, manic glee in her voice rising that tone right up through the stratosphere. "L-u-c-y?!?!"

Re: Listen to the lecture!

[texted3times]

"Enjoy," Eric said, smiling.

The vampire walked in and Eleanor was immediately lowering herself so she could not be seen behind Tip (who she was sitting behind).

Nope. Not liking the class today. Nope. Nope. Nope.

Re: Listen to the lecture!

Nell walked into the classroom and stopped in horror.

It felt like dead maggoty things in here.

It took all she had to find a seat as far from the feeling as she could and not just run from the room.

Re: Listen to the lecture!

Lana nudged her. "You okay?" she whispered.

Re: Listen to the lecture!

[mylandmyrules]

"Can't you feel it?" Nell whispered. "Like maggots and... squishy dead things."

Pair up and Save the Hypothetical DJ

[texted3times]

Or don't. Eric really, truly doesn't care.

Re: Pair up and Save the Hypothetical DJ

Whoever tip paired with might risk a small rant about how the death of disco was manufactured by racist white DJs.

So. Fair warning.

Re: Pair up and Save the Hypothetical DJ

[following_my_fishie]

Hi, Tip. Have a very small and now incredibly amused bit of chaos turning to you. "Why don't people like disco? Disco is fun! It's very bouncy and the lights are very pretty!"

Re: Pair up and Save the Hypothetical DJ

[intotheout]

Del, you were Tip's new favorite.

"Because it's loud and fun and white men failed to appropriate it from minorities," Tip said. "A bunch of rock DJs got really mad that people wanted to go to dance halls and valued grace and style and started the whole 'death to disco' thing in revenge!"

It was maybe not a wholly accurate rant. Her primary source was Tumblr, after all. But it was passionate!

Re: Pair up and Save the Hypothetical DJ

[mylandmyrules]

Nell was trying very hard not to be sick or run. The maggotty feeling was somehow coming from the teacher and she couldn't understand it at all.

She was happy o pair up with anyone, but was understandably distracted.

Prompto, who was mostly just confused about this whole thing, seemed to notice that everyone, not just Nell, seemed a little off about class today, which just made him wonder if he was missing something important, but, he did like Nell even if they didn't talk much and so he gave her a faint smile and ventured, "So, I don't even really see what the big deal is. Last I knew, playing music, even if someone doesn't like it, isn't really a punishable offense, right?"

Re: Pair up and Save the Hypothetical DJ

[mylandmyrules]

"I'm pretty sure it's not against the law," Nell agreed. "But maybe, if it's one a them, you know, hypotheticals, maybe it's a make the punishment fit the crime thing. Like make him listen to music that he hates for the same amount of time."

Illyana was only vaguely aware of disco, so, she wasn't super-clear on what the problem was other than the guy 'teaching' today seemed to be bleeding from the ears, and in her experience, that was rarely a good thing.

But if someone wanted a partner, she was there.

Re: Pair up and Save the Hypothetical DJ

[unusual_sith]

Lana had no idea what disco was. Well, she'd gathered it was music, and she might have heard the term before? Maybe?

"Do you have any idea what he's talking about? And do you think he knows he's bleeding?"

Re: Pair up and Save the Hypothetical DJ

[gospel_of_oblivion]

"Maybe? I think disco is a kind of music?" Illyana said, wrinkling her nose. "I'd know if I was bleeding from the ears. That itches."

"Maybe it's eardrum damage from the DJ. In which case, killing him spares everyone else."

Present Your Plan!

[texted3times]

For punishing the DJ without killing him or for killing him and getting away with it.

Talk to Eric

[texted3times]

Why?

OOC

[texted3times]

Mwahahaha.
