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."

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.

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?"

"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."

"That's about as much as I know about it," Lana agreed. "If it's deadly, though, wouldn't that be a good enough argument to get away with killing the person playing it? The laws here allow for self-defence, from what I've read."
