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?"

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Rita sighed, and flicked her wand, muttering something.

"The miniature giraffe at my house has gone missing. Perhaps we should adopt a baby elephant instead," she said, smiling at the much larger and more gray John.

Being a British type elephant is no fun! No fun at all.

Nigel attempts to protest but ends up making that sound that elephants make and waving his trunk at Professor Skeeter, attempting to grab her wand.

"Nuh uh," Rita said, smiling and holding her wand away.

Elephant!Nigel swings his trunk and knocks some desks over. And then he trundles over to Professor Skeeter's desk.

Chloe facepalms as she watches John start to destroy the classroom. "Bad elephant!"

"We can't have that," Rita sighed.

With a flick of her wand, baby elephant!John began to shrink, until he was the size of a rabbit.

Elephant!Nigel is now wee and small and not cool! He flicks his trunk at Chloe and then starts to chew on paper.

He's glaring Professor Skeeter in an elephant like way.

Rory offered the wee elephant a peanut butter cup.

"Awwww," Chloe says, leaning down to pet him. "I think you're much safer at this size. And so are we."

Elephant!Nigel or to heck with, Elephant!John gobbles up the peanut butter cup like a gobbling thing. He leans into Chloe's hand and then hides behind their legs and makes elephant-y hissing sounds at Skeeter.

"Aw. He's so little and cute," Rory said, trying to look at the tiny elephant.

If Elephant!John could speak, he would say that he was flattered but he wanted her to take revenge on the woman who calls her Whorey! He wants her to stand up and fight!

Instead, all he can do is nudge her leg with his trunk.

Rory took a picture with her phone.

Elephant!John stamps his weet foot and tries to stampede into Rory. Of course, he's small and just runs into her long and falls over.

"Aw, little elephant fell over!" Rory cooed, picking him up and setting him on her desk.

Elephant!John plots down on Rory's desk and makes elephant-y noises towards her. He might want something more to eat. Or he might be asking Rory to go get Skeeter's wand and change him back!

Rita began to read a newspaper.

Rory made elephant!John a tiny origami hat and put it on his wee head.

[ooc: Rita modded with permission.:)]

That is not what Elephant!John wanted. Elephant!John totally tries to slap Rory with his trunk but it's a wee trunk and it's too big so he starts to slide off of Rory's desk...

Rory caught him and gave him another peanut butter cup.

And attempted to tickle him, because she didn't know if wee elephants were ticklish.

Elephant!John ate the peanut butter cup and might feel a slight form of indigestion coming on.

When Rory tickled him, he rolled around on his back and kicked his wee legs up in the air. And got nauseous.

Rory took another picture, and emailed it to Aeryn with the message: "THIS IS JOHN. SRSLY. BLAME SKEETER."

Elephant!John allows his picture to be taken and wonders if Rory has some secret crush on him that manifests when he's wee and cute.

But, his stomach is rebelling so he slides off Rory's desk, climbs down her leg and walks over to Rita's shoes...

And throws up peanut butter cups.

Rita glared. "Scourgify," she said, waving her wand at her shoes to clean them before continuing to read and ignore the tiny elephant.

"Ew," Rory contributed from her seat.

Still feeling ill, Elephant!John burps and collapses on Professor Skeeter's shoes and took a nap.

"Awwww," Rory said. She picked up the sleepy little elephant and set him on Rita's desk. "I think you need to fix him. Um. Ma'am."
