Rita sat behind her desk studying a book entitled 50 Signs of Mental Illness : A Guide to Understanding Mental Health.

Across the board in sparkling purple letters were instructions:

Work on the obituaries.

Do not attempt to be any nationality but your own.

If Nigel van Susteren shows up, he is advised to leave before he finds out what it's like to be a scarab beetle cockroach canary.

John actually listens...kind of.

He sits down, puts his head on his desk and starts to bawl. "My mother doesn't love me," he cries, sniffling and coughing on the desk. "Nobody loves me!"

Rita was getting bored.

So she turned him into a tiny baby meerkat.

Chloe manages to ignore John's plight for about 30 seconds, before going over and picking him up. "Thank you for turning him into something smaller than an elephant," she says to Rita. "He's a lot less violent this way."

"Quieter, too," Rita noted, going back to her book.

Rory offered the wee meerkat an Oreo.

John is furry. Dammit!

Well, sweets were good so John takes the Oreo and nibbles on it. And tries to look cute. And glares at Professor Skeeter all in one pose!

Rory pet the tiny meerkat John. "Aww."

And look, there's her phone. Picture time!

If John could talk, he would totally protest to this picture taking that's been happening lately.

So, he attempts to speak but is only able to wave his hand in the air and look confused.

"Aw, lookit, he's dancing!" Rory said happily.

Re: Work on the obits/pass notes/antagonize Rita

John scowls but it doesn't translate very well on a meerkat's face.

For this, he will get revenge on Professor Skeeter. So, he jumps off the desk and snakes his way over to where she's reading, trying to be stealthy.

Re: Work on the obits/pass notes/antagonize Rita

Rita totally saw him coming but ignored him.

Probably a bad move.

Re: Work on the obits/pass notes/antagonize Rita

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John totally bites the toe of Professor Skeeter's shoes, hoping for food.

Re: Work on the obits/pass notes/antagonize Rita

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

Rita kicked him like she was her mun's neighbor and John was a tiny puppy.

Re: Work on the obits/pass notes/antagonize Rita

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

Since Professor Skeeter has big feet, the kick hurts and he hits a desk leg and stays still.

Re: Work on the obits/pass notes/antagonize Rita

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory scurried over and poked at him with a pencil.

"John?"

Re: Work on the obits/pass notes/antagonize Rita

[mycanonhatesme]

Chloe peeked over Rory's shoulder. "Is he all right?"

Re: Work on the obits/pass notes/antagonize Rita

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John makes a loud meerkat noise and twitches when he gets poked with a pencil.

Re: Work on the obits/pass notes/antagonize Rita

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory scritched his tummy.

"If you get up, we'll make her change you back."

Re: Work on the obits/pass notes/antagonize Rita

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John curls into the scritches, enjoying himself and then pulls himself to his wee feet.

He wee hands rubs his eyes and he hopes that hitting that desk leg won't cause a bruise on his real back.

Re: Work on the obits/pass notes/antagonize Rita

"Aww."

Rory took another picture and sent it to Aeryn: "TINY MEERKAT 2DAY. AW."

Re: Work on the obits/pass notes/antagonize Rita

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John tries to cross his arms. But they're too short so he only ends up flailing like a flailing thing.

So, he makes a noise that sounds like a whine.

Re: Work on the obits/pass notes/antagonize Rita

[mycanonhatesme]

Chloe grins with jealousy at Rory's phone. "We've got to get Aeryn to come to class some day so she can see John in action."

Re: Work on the obits/pass notes/antagonize Rita

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John does not like that idea, oh no!

So he scampers away and hides behind a bookshelf.

Re: Work on the obits/pass notes/antagonize Rita

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory put an Oreo by the bookshelf.

"Come on, John."

Re: Work on the obits/pass notes/antagonize Rita

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John skitters out, takes the Oreo and goes to hide again.
