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

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. :)]

"Thar be rules," Barbossa said. He paused. "Well, guidelines. And things like 'be not sneakin' up on Hair-Trigger Ted' be seemin' obvious in retrospect, but ye occasionally be learnin' the hard way."

He grinned. "I be here fer teh education as well. I be stayin' fer the entertainment value."

He frowned at the next question. "Family t'be functional? Since I be left at a foundlin' home, I be guessin' probably not."

Krycek snickered. "You just make sure it's someone else who's learning while you observe."

He looked down the list again, then pursed his lips as he skimmed down the remaining question. "Mine functioned," Krycek said with a shrug. "Describe a memorable event...? I was born. Which was advantageous to me, if nothing else."

Barbossa laughed. "Aye, it be better t' learn some o' those lessons in a manner that be not entirely first-hand."

He frowned. "If I be thinkin' o' the crew as family--which I be not as they tend t' be a lyin', thievin', whorin' group o' miscreants and therefore be much more interestin' than any family I ever be hearin' of, I be thinkin' a memorable event be when we marooned Squealin' Charlie fer tellin' the authorities where t' find us." Barbossa paused. "Ye'd think his nickname would've been a giveaway that he be not precisely trustworthy."
