Superheroing- Wednesday, March 6- 2nd period

Once the class has settled in, Captain Liberty gives them all a smile and says, "Welcome back. Hope you all had a good break, because it's over now and you're not getting it back. Haha. Lucky for you guys we have a pretty easy class today." Though it's said in a way that might make the students question that statement.

"I've said before that a good portion of superheroing is trying to come off in a good light. You might think you're just doing your job, or doing the right thing, but there's more to it than that," she continues. "The things you do can be really public, and will attract attention. Reporters will write about your actions, kids might want to dress up as you for Halloween, and let's not even think of people trying to spin things weird during an election year." Pausing, remembering her background, she says, "Pretend I didn't say that. The fact of the matter is, a lot of people don't want to be saved by someone they think is a jerk.

"Now, for today's class, we're going to have you be interviewed by a real reporter. Your job is to put your best foot forward. It's just that easy," Captain Liberty smiles. "Now, I'd like you all to welcome someone a few of you might know, Rita Skeeter."

Once class is getting up to leave, Captain Liberty calls, and for homework, I just want you all to give me a paragraph or two on how your interview went, and how you'd handle it next time. Bye."

"Oh Miss Skeeter! What an honor to be interviewed by a journalist of your caliber." Pippi said.

With a strait face and everything.

"Yes, thank you," Rita said, raising her eyebrows. "My reputation precedes me?"

Pippi? Not used to people not recognizing her.

Her costume must be that good.

"Well of course. Why wouldn't it?"

Like Rita remembered anyone. Seriously. Except maybe that nasty Crichton boy.

"Fair point," Rita said, preening.

Pippi is giving Rita more credit then she should. But continues to believe that her costume is awesome.

"Thank you."

"So, little girl, tell me about yourself," Rita said.

"I am Pirate Princess." Pippi said taking a dramatic pose.

The quill began to write.

A girl of twelve, raised by pirates and forced to color her hair unnatural shades, poses for attention in front of our intrepid reporter.

"I see," said Rita, raising her eyebrows. "And how did you come to be a...ahem, pirate princess?"

"Well, you see. My Grandfather was a king among the pirates." Pippi explained.

"Oh really," Rita said, raising her brows.

Unfortunately, the poor child suffers from delusions of grandeur....

"Oh yes. Very much so. He was the terror of the Seven Seas."

And judging by her outfit, may have turned to the easiest way to gain money, the poor child.

"All seven? That's remarkable."

"He was something of an over achiever."
