Rita smiled. "Today, an easy assignment. Invent a shorthand, or use one you've established, and take notes on something unusual you see. And naturally, keep the notes."

Rory, too lost in thought to concentrate on her work, began absent-mindedly folding a piece of paper.

Chloe gets a piece of paper and tries to reacquaintance herself with the secretarial shorthand she'd learned many years ago.

Johnny doesn't doodle.

Instead, he starts writing poetry.

Oh, the look in your eyes.
So bright, so tender.
You cannot hide beneath the guise.
My heart, you make it feel like it's in a blender.

Rita eyed him. "Why are you dressed like that, Mr. Crichton?"

Re: Discussion/Questions/Gay Cowboying

"Call me Johnny, Professor Pretty Lady." He winks again and goes back to his poetry.

Rita just sighed.

"Why are you dressed like that, Johnny? And it's Professor Skeeter, thank you."

Re: Discussion/Questions/Gay Cowboying

"You're entirely too modest, Professor." Johnny winks. "And I'm always dressed like this. Say, Professor Scooter? You're a woman, right?"

Re: Discussion/Questions/Gay Cowboying

Rita stared.

"...yes."

Re: Discussion/Questions/Gay Cowboying

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Okay." Johnny nods. "I just wasn't sure is all. Double checkin'."

Rory sent the paper airplane she had been making sailing over to John's desk, making a confused face at him.

Rita sighed, and with a snap of her wand and a quick glance up, turned him into a small snake.

Perhaps one that you might find in a prairie setting, even. So as to fit with a theme.

Jaye has the best timing ever.

Re: Discussion/Questions/Gay Cowboying

Johnny is very upset.

This snakeskin totally does not match his eyes. Curses.

Snakey slithers over to Jaye and wraps around her ankle.

Re: Discussion/Questions/Gay Cowboying

[fates_jaye]

"UM," says Jaye, loudly, and wide-eyed.

Re: Discussion/Questions/Gay Cowboying

Rory took a picture with an ACTUAL camera.

Re: Discussion/Questions/Gay Cowboying

Snakey might've just fallen in love with Jaye.

Aww. He twirls himself around Jaye's ankle and holds tight.

Re: Discussion/Questions/Gay Cowboying

[fates_jaye]

If Jaye knew the gay cowboy thing was actually happening, she might be a little worried about this falling in love thing.

"Um, he's not poisonous, right?" says Jaye. "And like, won't squeeze me to death?"

Re: Discussion/Questions/Gay Cowboying

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

Snakey squeezes tighter and flitters his snakey tongue out to tease Jaye and maybe scare her.

Re: Discussion/Questions/Gay Cowboying

[fates_jaye]

"Hey, that pinches," she tells him.

Re: Discussion/Questions/Gay Cowboying

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

"He's tiny," Rita said in a 'duh' voice.

Re: Discussion/Questions/Gay Cowboying

[fates_jaye]

"Don't say that, you'll hurt his self-esteem!"

[Going back to work now, woe!]

Re: Discussion/Questions/Gay Cowboying

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

Snakey hears the annoying tones of the manly Skeeter creature and plots how to get her back.

Soon...he'll be a snake...on a motherfrickin' head!

Re: Discussion/Questions/Gay Cowboying

[fates_jaye]

Jaye pokes her head into the classroom. Just to see what animal John is.

D'anna watches the episode in fascinated horror and is rather relieved when Snakey-John lands on someone else. Though she'd never actually say that out loud. At least, not here, not now.

For now, her shorthand notes were enough.
