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."

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?"

"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."

"Ooooooh," said Prompto, looking impressed, "that's good. Yeah. Like, really turn it around on the guy, make him see how it feels. And see, here I was just thinking you could just, you know, fire him and hire someone who's gonna play more of what you're looking for, but, I mean..."

Pfft. Logic. Who needed it?

"I suppose firing would work too," Nell said. "But it might not help him understand why he shouldn't do that. Though, really, don't you think that different people might like different types of music?"

"Yeah, exactly!" Prompto agreed brightly. "Different strokes for different folks, and all that. Like, you know, this DJ might not be a good fit for this," his hands gestured vaguely but firmly, "venue, but who's to say there isn't a different place just up the road that's looking for, like, that exact sound! Everybody wins in that case!"

Except perhaps the idea that this had anything to do with law enforcement, but, to be fair, they were kind of on shaky ground with that one even before they got started.

"So, maybe make him listen to stuff he doesn't like so he gets it, then suggest either he varies his music some or help him find some other place where they might appreciate him more?" Nell suggested.
