Introduction to Law Enforcement, Monday
"Alibis," Lucifer announced, writing the word on the blackboard with a swirl. "Every criminal has one. As do most innocent people, as well. But how do you pierce an iron-clad alibi? How do you find the right... questions?"
He paused.
"Two of you are criminals," he said. "You've stolen an important piece of jewelry from the local bank. You will retreat from this classroom to talk for five minutes. Your alibi must involve three places you've visited and two activities you've been involved in. You will return to this class one at a time, for ten minutes each."
He pointed at two students, then pointed helpfully at the door. "Out," he said, and waited for them to leave. "As for the rest of you, your job is to catch them in a lie. You've got ten minutes to question either of them. I expect results."
He hit the blackboard with his charcoal once, for emphasis, then beamed. "This will be fun."

"If we were drinking calming tea at the flower shop, why would we get caffeinated coffee right after?" Tip asked. "I mean, I'm not saying we couldn't, it just sounds like the sort of thing they'd pounce on in a crime show."

Re: Criminals: Collude!
"Oh! Yeah, that could work. And that way if they ask what the tea tasted like, I could just be like 'I don't know, I haven't tried it yet'." Tip nodded. "Okay, coffee after it is. What did we both order? I'd get . . . a small mocha. And they'd put peppermint in it by mistake."

"That's what you'd order," Tip said. "Did they get it right? The Perk is notorious for screwing up people's orders. Would you say if you didn't get the right thing?"
Re: Criminals: Collude!
Re: Criminals: Collude!
"Sure. I think the trick would be not to volunteer any extra detail, but if we work it out in advance and they're all 'but what did you all ORDER?' we can still have our stories straight."

“Or, like, any adult,” Tip agreed. “Is the government usually looking for information on you?”
Re: Criminals: Collude!
Re: Criminals: Collude!
“Ah.” Tip resisted the urge to step back. White religious extremists didn’t historically much like people like her, but Nell was in Fandom, so she was probably okay. “That would do it, I guess.”

"From what I've heard about groups like that, definitely not," Tip agreed. "I mean, everyone's got their assholes, but some groups seem to have, uh, more than others. You know?"
