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?"

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.

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

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

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

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.

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...

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

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.

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

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.

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

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

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

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.

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

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.

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

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

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"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."

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

[mycanonhatesme]

Chloe nodded, rubbing wee Elephant!John's stomach. "I think he's learned his lesson. This time."

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

"Fine," Rita said, flicking her wand and not looking up.

There was suddenly a not-so-wee-or-elephantine John on her desk.

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John's laying on Professor Skeeter's desk in the tuxedo. The monocle in on his chest.

"Turned me into another animal, huh?"

He climbs off the desk and stretches.

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory handed him his tiny origami hat.

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

Chloe shook her head at John. "How about a, 'Gee Rory and Chloe, thanks for convincing the teacher to make me human. I look so much better without a trunk.'"

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John's still looking a little worse for wear.

"Did I throw up on either of your or just Professor Skeeter? And you know I love you guys in that platonic way. Thanks for the tummy rubs."

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Just her," Rory said, going up on her tiptoes and putting the tiny hat on his head. "Also, I sent Aeryn a picture of you."

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"You did?" John nods carefully to keep the hat on his head. "You're a good friend, Rory. Thanks for the hat. Guess she didn't like the British shtick."

Re: Discussion/Questions? [2/7]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory snapped another picture, and sent it to Aeryn with the message: "SHE CHANGED HIM BACK. NICE HAT, HUH? LIKE A FLDR. HLMT."

"Evidently."
