"Good morning, Mr. Crichton, Ms. Sullivan, and Ms. Gilmore."

"I rather enjoyed all your little stories. They were very...inventive." She shot a look at John. "And I'm pleased to see you challenge the known truth, much as it pains me to admit in some cases. We'll be talking some more about investigation later in the term - today, we're going to discuss the concept of bias."

"What is a bias? Well, technically speaking, it's anything that could be considered a partiality that prevents objective consideration of an issue or situation." She smiled. "What does this mean in, as your lot say, 'laymen's terms'? It means that most reporters can't be counted on to give an objective, or fairly-written, report on anything they have strong feelings about."

Rita folded her hands behind her back. "And to prove that we can do this, I'm going to give you an assignment. I would like you to choose something you either love deeply, or hate fiercely. Something that you have extremely strong feelings on. It can be any topic - your pet controversial issue, a hobby, your girlfriend, your boyfriend, your best friend, your darling little schoolyard enemy - whatever. And I would like for you to attempt to write about whatever you choose from the opposite viewpoint - ie, an unflattering article about your girlfriend, or something that lauds the accomplishments of someone you loathe."

She smiled. "Thoughts? Questions?"

Rory offered John a broken M&M, that he would be able to probably fit in his mouth without choking.

Marmoset!John takes another M&M and does eat it and it doesn't choke him.

Then he jumps towards Rory or Callisto or Chloe or anyone who might wanna catch him because he's highly active.

Callisto caught weeMarmoset!John. Unfortunately he landed in her cleavage.

Marmoset!John nibbles at Callisto's skin because he's hungry and he's active and he has a wee mouth!

"Hey! Only your roommate's supposed to do that!" Callisto knocked pervyMarmoset!John off her chest.

Chloe grabs marmoset!John before he can get too far. "Oh really?" she says, giving Callisto a smirk.

Marmoset!John is happy, yay, because he gets no violent killing vibes from Chloe.

So he might smirk at Callisto with his wee mouth.

"Nothing wrong with what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their rooms." Callisto coughed and turned red. "Or even consenting three adults."

Rory patted his tiny head.

And offered another broken M&M.

Because she knows John is kinda pudgy, so clearly he likes sweets.

Chloe may have held onto John a little tighter to keep from flailing at Callisto. Surely she was just speculating with that comment. "I suppose you're right. And I'm just glad you're getting consentual activity."

"Consentual activity is fun," Callisto grinned ~~possibly a little doofily~~. "By the way, how are Kry and Jakey? Haven't seen them for a couple of days."

Chloe gives John a little nuzzle. Totally because he's cuddly, and not because she's trying to hide her face. "They're fine. I haven't talked to them much either, at least, not since the club fair."

Marmoset!John enjoys the cuddles. Cuddles yay!

Marmoset!John also throws an M&M at Callisto's eye.

"Not so much with the consentu- hey!" Callisto caught the M&M right before it hit her. "I'm so telling Angel you nibbled my chest for that!"

Marmoset!John is not sorry and he's not afraid. He chucks another M&M towards Callisto's other eye. And he might give her a wee middle finger with his wee fingers.

Callisto threw the M&M back at Marmoset!John. "I'm also not gonna tell him you were a monkey at the time!"

Rita glanced up from where she was reading the paper.

"Oh. I could change you back."

She waved her wand.

John was not so small anymore.

Chloe especially might notice this.

John is John again.

John is also not on the ground.

Uh oh.

Chloe suddenly went from holding a wee furry John, to holding a big hairy John.

She might not have dropped him so quickly if only he wasn't so darn tall.

Luckily Callisto still had another M&M. She pinged it at Crichton's head.

John fell on his ass. It hurt.

"Ouch," he says, wincing. "Sorry, Chloe. I'll make that up to you...somehow."

Rory offered John some unbroken M&Ms.

Chloe rubbed her arm a little, doing her best not to glare at Rita. She liked being human, thank you.

"It's okay. Just be glad I didn't give you back to Callisto. She'd have dropped you harder."

"I would not!" Callisto said. "I'd have thrown him, there's a difference."

"Well he certainly would have landed harder that way, now wouldn't he?" Chloe replied, happy to keep the topic on John.
