( #004 ) WIZARD COPS

[chatona]

MAGICAL COP AU you are a cop. you're also magical. the two are not unrelated: while wizards are not particularly common, someone's got to make sure that the arm of the law extends also to the supernatural, and that's where you (and your partner?!) come in. whether it's chasing down rogue wizards, making peace between supernatural entities, or interrogating ghosts that have witnessed crime, getting coffee or a pint at the pub after hours, you have your hands full. just don't make too many wand jokes, keep property damage to a minimum, and don't forget to do the paperwork at the end of the day. an AU inspired by the rivers of london series by ben aaronovitch

Come on. You know I hate it when you keep secrets from me.

[uberlegenheit]

I know, old friend.

[ alright then. don't get your panties in a twist. ]

I may have a suggestion for him. It all depends on if he wants to hear it or not. What do you think?

[broil]

I think he's not that smart.

[And he thinks that he'd really like to get to watch that show. Erik's tricks always end up being spectacularly sadistic.]

Which is why I'm going to help you.

[uberlegenheit]

He's smart enough to stay hidden.

[ but apparently not clever enough to stay hidden from Petre. then again that requires special talent. he smiles a little. negotiations with him don't always go smoothly. ]

I appreciate it. As usual.

[broil]

[He leans his chin in his fist, eying Erik with lazy eyes.]

What do you know?

[Definitely a cop, and a shape-shifter into a killer rabbit to boot, so she gets stuck on a lot of magical creatures cases...]

( burn. everything. )

[uberlegenheit]

I know the man has a fondness for ships. One of our men spotted him in the harbor two days ago. The tracks were cold by the time I got there.

[ that why he's in a hurry and desperate enough to come to Petre. if the man has found himself a vessel it's going to be a lot harder to track him down. ]

Would you agree?

[The cop with a tendency to ignore orders and blow down walls to get his guy.

Or the ex-magical-cop-now-magical-vigilante with equally hot-headed habits, who always seems to be around when particularly notorious criminals go missing. Hmm.]

[broil]

Your man's a liar, Erik. He hasn't been in town for weeks.

[He arches his brows at that. Who would've thought, right, someone feeding them false information.]

He got himself a shifter.

[A logical conclusion, he supposes. Someone to pose as him so he can throw off the authorities while he's elsewhere getting on with his shady business.]

[uberlegenheit]

Clever. I'll have to give him that.

[ but not clever enough. naturally he'll want to know the identity of the shifter too. one can never have enough of those. ]

Our man will be devastated to learn that.

[ worked so hard too, poor boo. Erik's not going to tell him anything though. it's good if the suspicions of the police lay elsewhere. ]

[broil]

You'll make sure of that, won't you.

[That he'll be utterly devastated. Erik's never been one to let liars go unpunished. But Petre always expects the worst.]

Need some company to go check him out?

[uberlegenheit]

If you're offering.

[ hanging out with Petre might one day lead to him joining their cause so why not. ]

[broil]

I might know a place, then.

[He takes another swig of his drink, lets it down heavily.]

Busy tonight?

[uberlegenheit]

If we go after him I'll be technically working all night.

[ finishes his drink. ]

I'm surprised you don't have other plans. Did someone cancel?

[ and die while doing so. ]

[broil]

[u silly. he leans his face on his hand.]

I never have plans.

[uberlegenheit]

[ his mistake. ]

Only urges?

[broil]

Something like that. Not all of us care for routines.

[uberlegenheit]

[ routines are for privileged people. people who don't have to worry about survival. ]

Where is this place you mentioned?

[ orders them new round of drinks with a hand motion. ]

[broil]

Historical center. But you won't find anything until after hours.

That means I've got you for another hour.

[uberlegenheit]

[ head tilt. ]

[ he got his information. he could go now. ]

[ he would finish his drink first though. he just got it. ]

[broil]

[You wouldn't leave the demon alone, Erik! What if you run into a shifter again? You won't have him to tell you one from the other.]

Please, don't look too excited.

[uberlegenheit]

[ that would be unpleasant. ]

I can think of a few things I could wrap up in an hour's time.

[ something more productive than sucking up to a demon that prefers him unpredictable anyway. ]

[broil]

Nothing that'd involve little old me?

[uberlegenheit]

Unless you would like to be wrapped up. How about it?

[ he could arrest you. ]
