Journalistic Integrity (Friday, February 10 - 3rd period)

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

Rita smiled widely at the class as they filed in.

No, not a nice smile. It was anyone's guess as to why she was so pleased.

"Good morning, boys and girls. Today we're going to do something a little different - namely, conduct interviews. You're each going to be given a list of questions to ask your interviewee, and I expect to receive detailed answers."

She began to pass out the questions. "Naturally, if you're uncomfortable, your grade will not suffer for not answering the questions. They get progressively more...inquisitive, so please, just answer up to your comfort level. This is an exercise in learning our boundaries, after all."

She finished passing them out, and with a flick of her wand, names appeared in the air.

Krycek, Alex - Barbossa
Trebond, Alanna - Callistie
Fraiser, Janet - Sullivan, Chloe
Thrace, Kara - Mars, Veronica
Echolls, Logan - ...?

"Oh dear. Mr. Echolls, it seems you're partnerless. Oh, well. You'll be working with me, in that case," Rita said, full of sympathy. Probably.

[ooc: Okay, here's the deal: I know these questions might be problematic for some characters. Trust me, I get that. So honestly, if you don't think your character would be comfortable answering them all, just have them stop where they're comforable, or skip to the ones that they don't mind answering. That's absolutely fine. And likewise, if you have any questions about the exercise, please feel free to email me at ms.rita.skeeter@gmail.com.]

[OCD threads are a-comin' up. And I'll add it in here, since I forgot - slowplay is absolutely fine, since I know a few of you have limited access. :)]

Chloe looked back and forth between Janet and the questions. "I can't believe she really wants us to ask some of these."

Janet grinned. "I guess potential journalists aren't expected to be shy," she said. "Do you want to interview or be interviewed first?"

Re: Janet and Chloe

[mycanonhatesme]

"Might as well get the question answering over with, I suppose," Chloe says, shrugging.

Re: Janet and Chloe

[janet_fraiser]

"Good call," said Janet. "Okay, the first question is easy: What's your full name, your age, and your place of birth?"


OOC: Slooooowplay. Sci-Fi Friday!

"Chloe Sullivan, 18, and I was born in Metropolis, Kansas at least I think it's in Kansas, stupid odd canon."

OOC: Slowplay is totally necessary for Fridays!

"Suddenly, I feel like an infant," murmured Janet, grinning. "Parents' names?"


Oh, so true! Just finished with SG1!

Chloe giggled. "Gabe and Lisa Sullivan."

"I swear, I don't just have to be the shortest junior out there, I also have to be one of the youngest?" asked Janet. "So what do your parents do?"

Re: Janet and Chloe

[mycanonhatesme]

"Hey, being short has it's advantages, especially when you can get tall, attractive men to get things for you because you can't reach them." Chloe grinned. "My dad does computer engineering. My mom..." She shrugged a little, deciding not to lie. "She's in an institution for the mentally ill."

Janet laughed. "I look cute and helpless. You have no idea how much I hate it." She gave Chloe a sympathetic look. "I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I know you and I aren't close, but if you ever need someone to talk to--well, I'm around. And on a hopefully cheerier note, why did you come to Fandom?"
