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."

Confused.

Listen to the lecture!

[texted3times]

...probably more confused.

Pair up and Save the Hypothetical DJ

[texted3times]

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

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.

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

Re: Pair up and Save the Hypothetical DJ

[intotheout]

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

So. Fair warning.

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?!?!"

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

[following_my_fishie]

Del sort of followed that. As much as she ever followed anything. "Okay and so it's bad to kill things, and disco is fun, and we need to find a way to punish people for killing disco without killing them, and they're white men, so should we make them purple? And squid? Everyone likes squid and squid don't eat disco, only mollusks and fish."

Re: Pair up and Save the Hypothetical DJ

[intotheout]

". . . Mollusks and fish eat disco?"

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.

Del shook her head, "They don't! There's no disco underwater. It would make the songs all blurry. So they're safe from death-to-disco crime!"

Nell Ingram

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: Pair up and Save the Hypothetical DJ

[intotheout]

"'There's no disco underwater'," Tip repeated. "I think I need that embroidered on a pillow. J.Lo would love it."

He would probably try to find a way to bring disco to Earth's aquatic creatures.

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.

Re: Pair up and Save the Hypothetical DJ

[following_my_fishie]

Del.. did not follow that. After a minute, she offered tentatively, "There are pillow trees? You could get a pillow there."

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?"
