Advanced Journalism (Tuesday, February 7 - 2nd period)

Rita sat behind her desk with very red eyes, nursing a cup of coffee.

She might have looked a tad triumphant, though.

"Good morning. Today, we talk about obituaries, which will be due tomorrow at the latest. Write forty words on someone who you know well. A good friend, perhaps, and someone you haven't written on before. And, naturally, it should be written as though they are no longer with us."

She sniffled. "Questions?"

"My dear professor," Nigel says in his really badly done British accent, "how are your children doing this fine day?"

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

"Children?" Rita asked, staring. "Why are you talking like that?"

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

"Why, your bundles of joy," Nigel says like it's the most obvious thing in the world. "Considering you've admitted being married to the world, I figure there were children in the mix. Tell me, are they with their au pair?"

"Because I'm British," Nigel says and waves his walking stick at her. Of course, the monocle chooses that moment to fall off his eye and into his lap. Oh well.

"All right," Rita said, rubbing the bridge of her nose. "They're with their father."

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

"Are they?" Nigel produces a few Euro's that aren't really Euro's, just poorly drawn imitations of the currency that have been laminated. "Do these precious wonders of life have names? Something good and strong and British?"

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

"Their names are...." Rita thought for a moment. "Their names are Jonathan and Erin."

"Oh my God, you're going to die," Rory murmured.

John half smiles. "How's my accent? Think she's convinced?"

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Really, really, really no," Rory said, shaking her head.

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

"Bummer," John says. "But she called you Whorey. I'm doing this for everyone she torments!"

Chloe looked at John and put her head down on her desk to try to keep from laughing.

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

"Like the tux?" John pulls on the lapels of the jacket. "Snazzy huh?"

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

[mycanonhatesme]

"You're truly the picture of elegance," Chloe replies. "Is that yours, or did you steal it from someone?"

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"All rental," John says, smoothing the tux again. "Stupid's things uncomfortable as hell but don't tell her that."
