The Killer vs. Cop (optionally AU) Meme

WARNING for violence, murder, triggering content.
HOW TO PLAY
- Make a note of what your character is in this AU, whether killer or cop, and what roles within those you could see them assuming.
- Let anyone know your limits!
- Tag around, pick a scenario, and go for it.
THE PLAYERS
TYPE OF KILLER
1) Assassin. You're either an assassin for hire, a professional in the arts of killing, or a politically motivated murder.
2) Serial killer. Pathologically driven with a need to trap and kill their victims.
3) Necessity. You're not a bad person! It's just that whoever your victim was had to die. In order for you to survive, or keep what's valuable to you. Could have been self-defense.
4) Passion. You were just so angry... you didn't mean to, you just loved them so much.
5) Soldier. You consider yourself fighting a war, whether it's one fought with uniforms and battle lines or one fought in the shadows. War has casualties. It's just a fact of life.
6) Accidental. They just appeared in front of your car! You couldn't hit the brakes in time.
7) Other.
TYPE OF COP
1) Local. Just a uniform working the beat, and you think you might finally have the magic case to get you up to detective.
2) Detective. Just another case in a long line of 'em.
3) Federal. FBI, or U.S. Marshal, Secret Service -- whatever the initials, you're part of your nation's law enforcement. Elite, and called in only on the most important cases.
4) Tech. Crime scene tech, or analyst. You're not technically a cop, but you're part of the case anyway.
5) Prosecutor/lawyer. Time to throw the book at the latest murderer.
6) Other.
SITUATIONS
1) Crime scene. Time to figure out the killer's MO. Just be careful the killer's not still lurking around...
2) Who, me? You don't even know it, but the killer's someone you know. Might be your partner, or your lover, or just someone you ran into. And if you're the killer, what better way to get the status of the investigation than to ask the officer?
3) Interrogation. Both of you know what really happened. But can the cop get a confession out of the killer before it's too late?
4) The arrest. Slap on the cuffs. It's a long ride to the station; conversation, anyone?
5) The chase. You have a name, and you need to find and stop them before they strike again.
6) Jailtime visits. Funny, isn't it? That killer in jail understands you, the cop, better than anyone else in your life. It's almost like you're friends.
7) Escape. Someone's out of jail...
8) Death row. Any last thoughts?
9) Trial. What's the verdict? What's the defense? And, if you get a 'not guilty', what happens next?
10) Turning the tables. The hunter becomes the hunted, and the killer's taken the cop hostage. Better hope someone's coming to rescue you.
11) Other.
