Advanced Journalism (Tuesday, January 17 - 2nd period)

"Good morning, Misses Sullivan and Gilmore, and Mr. Crichton," Rita greeted her ever-so-tiny class. She did not look exactly...happy.

"Today, I'd like you to turn in your completed homework, and if you don't mind, share with your classmates why you chose to interview these particular subjects. Did you learn anything?"

[ooc: Rita-mun is home from school and stuck in bed with pneumonia. Thankfully, I have a laptop, so I can play, but if I leave you hanging, I've probably fallen asleep or something.]

John signs in and smiles charmingly at Professor Skeeter.

Rita frowned suspiciously.

"Mr. Crichton, did you happen to do anything interesting yesterday?"

Re: Sign in

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Interesting?" Oh god, she couldn't know about the no sex pact. She couldn't. "No, Professor. I'm pretty sure yesterday was boring."

Re: Sign in

Rita looked at him plainly.

"Mr. Crichton, if you keep something like this a secret, it'll only make it worse."

Re: Sign in

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

When did she become a psychic?

"Honestly, Professor, I've got no secrets," John lies. "Last night I saw my girlfriend, did my homework and went to sleep. Totally innocent."

Re: Sign in

"Are you certain you're not trying to cover for someone else?" Rita asked. "Perhaps your girlfriend?"

Re: Sign in

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I'm not touching my girlfriend!" John blurts out. Whoops. "I mean...no, I'm not covering for anyone. Honest."

Re: Sign in

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

Rita blinked. "Not Mr. Mitchell or Mr. Adama, if not your girlfriend, then?"

Re: Sign in

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John blushes...badly.

"No!" John shouts. "No touching of anyone. I did my homework and went to bed last night. My girlfriend and I have no problems and why am I telling you this?"

Re: Sign in

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

Rita stared.

"I meant to ask if you're covering for either of those two gentlemen," she said, brows practically in her hairline, "but now I'm curious. How are things with Ms...is it Sun?"

Re: Sign in

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Things are fine," John says testily. "I'm fine, she's fine, we're peachy keen, fine and dandy. How's everything with Mr. Skeeter?"

Re: Sign in

"My father is just fine, thank you for asking," Rita replied. "So I take it you have no idea how my grindylows ended up in the pool?"

Re: Sign in

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Grinding low?" John scrunches up her face. "That's not another self help sex book, is it? I have enough of those."

Re: Sign in

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

"No, it's a creature," Rita said, facepalming. "Small, rather like an aquatic gremlin. Though I'm sure there are probably books and periodicals with similar names. Perhaps you should research that for extra credit."

Re: Sign in

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Oh, then I didn't touch your grindinglows, Professor," John says. "And you want me to research sex for extra credit? I thought this was a journalism class!"

Re: Sign in

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

"Mr. Crichton. You seem to be a bit focused on sex, so I simply suggested you focus that energy on your schoolwork. There are plenty of helpful magazines of that nature that you could research if you wanted, though we won't be talking about that particular aspect of the media for a few weeks."

Re: Sign in

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I'm not focused on sex," John argues. "Your the one talking about grinding and covering people up!"

Re: Sign in

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

"Someone stole grindylows from my office, and put them in the pool yesterday," Rita sighed. "And based on your...flailiness, I'll hazard a guess that it wasn't you."

Re: Sign in

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Oh." John calms considerably. "No, it wasn't me. And they went in the pool after the...badness that happened the other day? Did you disinfect them?"

Re: Sign in

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

Rita grimaced. "I had forgotten about that. I'll have to make up an antidote to anything they might have contracted, the poor dears."

[Woe! *waves*]

Re: Sign in

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Sounds good." John nods and gives her a thumbs up. "Sorry about your grandleblows."

Rather than interrupt your lovely exchange with John, I'll just chortle over here.
