Introduction to Law Enforcement, Monday

"Well, hello, children."

Lucifer was clad in an impeccable black suit with a red vest and - of course - matching pocket square. He was also clad in the world's broadest insincere smile. "My name is Lucifer Morningstar, though you can call me Beelzebub in a pinch if you prefer," he began, with his heavy posh British accent in full swing. "I'll be your - ugh, I can't believe this - teacher for this semester in all things law enforcement."

A pause.

"I am not a cop, mind you. No, the cops have their own ways of going about this sort of thing, they can just be so... limited. A tragic thing, because finding the wicked, punishing them, that's no small task for any human to bear. Sometimes you won't get where you need to be with a dour face and your best Miranda-ing shout, you need wit and charm and a willingness to trade some trivial bit of evidence for more insight."

He was keeping his distance from the children. They seemed hateful.

"But that'll be next week's lesson. I've been told by this lovely brochure that the first week is introductions and I don't actually have to do anything." He gestured at a random student. "You. Your name, your class, and... ah, I don't know. Someone wicked you've once punished?" His expression went... difficult. "Or just tell us what you desire most from these next few months, whatever suits your fancy."

He sprawled in his seat, eyeing the class with a mixture of casual disdain and genuine concern.

It was nice to have a teacher with a proper Kaas accent, even if around here that probably didn't mean he was from Kaas. It was both comforting and terrifying, a bit like home.

Elisabeth didn't recognize either of the names, didn't know what Miranda-ing meant, and was mostly just taking notes with a quill and parchment like she was back in the Library. She could see how this class could be useful for her as a warden, even if everything about it, down to the teacher's dress, struck her as very odd.

Delirium absolutely giggled when he said 'Beelzebub' because come on and then quietly repeated it with the overtone of a hive of bees buzzing - or a swarm of flies droning, to be more accurate. "BeeeeeeEEELLLLzeeeeeeebbbbbbubbbbbbbbbbb.." And then, for gits and shiggles, she pronounced it accurately, "Ba'al Zəbûb." Squinched her mouth to one side and then the other and spoke softly, mostly to herself or perhaps to Barnabas. "Kind of neat, huh? How they took a Ba'al word and made it Be'el to make it more like angels and give it the 'el 'of god' meaning. I guess 'Ba'al' would sound too much like 'ball' and kids would laugh because 'balls', huh?"

Barnabas was going to be right there next to the desk trying to sink through the floor and putting his paws over his eyes. Muttering, "Delirium, please. Pay attention to the class. Please?"

"Oh fine," she sighed, crossing her arms on the desk and resting her chin on them so she could watch Lucifer intently. Paying attention to him.

Illyana was doing her best to not bolt out of her chair, and was about thisclose to sitting on her hands to keep them from twitching for her Soul Staff.

Strange would not have sent her here if it was dangerous. Strange would not have sent her here if it was dangerous. Strange would not have sent her here if it was dangerous.

Tip waved. "Um, hi. I'm Gratuity Tucci. Most people call me Tip. I'm a senior, and . . . I once helped keep a crooked politician from stealing a culture's first presidential election?"

She'd been twelve. One of the candidates was a parrot. Tip had lost all hope for American-style democracy even before the shit show in 2016.

"Uhhh, welllllll," said Prompto, slowly, because he still thought this was kind of a weird class for him to be in, but maybe it made a little bit of sense if you squinted hard enough, and he couldn't even begin to guess which one of the guys back home was responsible for this one, "my name's Prompto. Prompto Argentum. And I can't think of a time I really punished someone, like, actually wicked before?" Except perhaps just a few weeks ago when he threw his best friend and little sister into a torture chamber because he was brainwashed into thinking she was wicked, but, yeah, yeah, totally not bringing that gem up in class. "But I guess, uh, my...desire?...for the class is to just sort of make it out alive?"

It was all anyone could really hope for from this school these days.

"Lana Beniko," she introduced herself. "I'm a junior. I may be part of keeping the law at home when I return there, so I thought I might find it interesting how other cultures do that."

"I'm Elisabeth Scrivener and this is my first class," she said, not knowing any other answer to give. "I've never punished anyone wicked-" the other way around if anything, "-so I suppose the thing that I desire is to spend the rest of my life being a warden for Summershall?"

"My name is Delirium and I'm in this class," she announced proudly, able to follow that question all to the end! "Um.. I don't punish wicked people much. That's not my job." She gave Lucifer a funny look, "That's kind of .. someone else's job? But not mine. I don't like wicked people much, though. They're mean. Well, mostly? Sometimes they're not mean but just scared or sad or hurt inside and confused and they do bad things and.. well. What was I saying?"

"You were answering what you'd done to punish someone wicked, or what you desire most from the next two months," Barnabas prompted.

"Oh," Delirium replied, "Um. I.. want to understand. That's why I'm in school. To understand people better." Beat. "I think."

Nell wasn't sure about this person joking about being the Devil, but there wasn't much she could do about other people's bad manners. "I'm Nell Ingram and I guess m'a sophomore now."

She had to think about the next part to try to figure out how to say it without saying too much. "Just before I came here, a man tried to hurt me on my land. Guess I showed him not to mess with me."

"Illyana. Sophomore." Because why use full sentences. "My personal favorite was using a broom to teach a trucker about manners and little girls."

Belasco was too personal, and that trucker had been the last one before him. Illyana was still a little annoyed that Strange hadn't let her finish the job.

"Um. Jack. Jack Two, if you need a last name." Jack had never heard of any 'Lucifer Morningstar', but judging by his classmates' reactions, this was not a good thing. "Junior. And, ah..." He had so many conflicting deep desires for the next year, that what he blurted out next was, "I tried to murder a wizard with an ax? My ax. Not murdering him with his ax, I mean."
