A tale of roleplaying and excentricity, guest starring the law.
So yesterday night, I was driving innocently home after roleplaying (I have found a new group, yay! hi, ellensmithee! *g*), two fellow roleplayers along, when a police car subtly appeared behind me and gave subtle, but odd light signals. I would never have noticed this, if not for Fellow Roleplayer 1.
FR1: There's a police car behind us.
Me: Really?
Police car *flashes red light on top of car, which may or may not be a sign of some kind, but which I can't read in rear-view mirror*
Me: Huh. Okay, guess I'll pull over.
Policeman: Good evening. We're from [police district quite a bit from where we actually are]. Could I see your driver's license and registration?
Me: Sure.
Policeman: So, did you drink any alcohol tonight?
Me: No.
Policeman: Did you take any illegal drugs?
Me: No.
Policeman: Marijuana? Pot?
Me: No.
Policeman: Cocaine?
Me: …still no.
Policeman: Speed? LSD?
Me: … no…
Policeman *continues merrily on along a long list of drugs, culminating in*: Smoked any mushrooms?
Me: … is that even possible?
Policeman: Oh, absolutely.
Me: No.
Policeman: Take any illegal medication?
Me: …
Me: No.
Policeman: Any amphetamines? Uppers? Downers? Did you take any illegal drugs for bodybuilding or fitness purposes? Steroids?
Policeman *continues listing various substances*
Me *continues denying everything*
Policeman: …take anything else?
Me: Jod (iodine).
Policeman *laughs*: Oh well then, that's jood (dialect form of "gut", "good"). Right, drive safely!
Me: *drives safely*
Me: That was weird. And how come they didn't overtake me the way they used to do if they wanted you to pull over…? I mean, I wouldn't even have seen them if you hadn't said something.
FR1: Yeah, and why did they stop us anyway? It obviously wasn't a general traffic check.
FR2: It was because two of us are wearing knit caps.
Me: …?
FR2: Knit caps look criminal. Well-known fact.
FR1: True. But even taking that into account, this was still weird.
FR1: And this isn't [district definitely not here], is it?
Me: They were probably roleplayers too. Neat car, if so. Must have been expensive.
FR2: We should have asked them. Hey, cool car, it looks great – just like the real thing! How much did it cost?
FR1: And the uniform! So realistic!
FR2: But dude, definitely going overboard with the questions.
Just before I got home, I then realized that I never showed the policeman my driver's license. I'd handed him my identity card instead. And he hadn't said a word.
They really must have been roleplayers. Very cool car, I must say.
