Oh, that makes sense. You're supposed to have a license to carry a gun in my world for the same reason, although people don't exactly follow those rules as often as they should.
No problem; I prefer to save my lecturing energy for more important things, especially here. Besides, it's not like I'm going to be registering mine when we make it, so...
The whole thing was pretty fucked up, yeah, but I don't blame them for thinking it was me. They had reason, and they figured out who the real murderer was less than a day later anyway.
[So it's not like he was dealing with the whole thing very long, and as stressful as it was at the time it's kind of amusing looking back, at least as far as that part of things goes. The rest of it, such as who the real killer was, was not at all amusing.]
There was a limited suspect pool, because due to a particular event that occurred it could only be one of a few people who were in the right place at the right time, and we all knew each other. I was the newest person in the group, so it was easier for them if it were me than someone else, and I did fit the profile well enough.
[And, after a moment, he adds--]
I also sarcastically confessed, because I was angry they suspected me.
[Which was not exactly the most intelligent thing ever.]

Yeah, I guess you'd seem pretty lame if you had wizard ID card or something when you can just prove it.
no subject
True. I could make a little note on my FBI ID, though.
[He is, after all, now basically a magic-wielding cop. How cool is that?]

I mean, magic is pretty powerful. If you're making a focus you usually have to register it or whatever.
no subject
no subject
Yeah, uh... I totally never registered any of mine.

[Also, logistically--]
Wouldn't it be really difficult to track that anyway? Since people can just create their own focuses.

[He may have tried a recreational substance here or there as well, though he certainly didn't make a habit of it.]
Of course, there was also the time that Dr. Brennan was being framed for murder, and I didn't exactly arrest her.
[Which was honestly way more illegal than anything else he did, but he regrets none of it.]

Sorry my illegal activities weren't illegal enough for you.
[Although that said--]
It wasn't exactly my fault, especially since I didn't do it, but I did once get arrested under suspicion of being a serial killer.
no subject
Wait, seriously? That's not juicy, that's just fucked up.
