Myth Into History: Final [Thurs/1st Period, Danger Shop]

[drjcovington.livejournal.com]

When the students entered the Danger Shop for the final exam today, they would find it set up like the interior of the tent from the first class. Janice stood up near the front of the tent, waiting for everyone to assemble.

"Hope you wore comfortable shoes like I warned you last week," she said. "It's going to be an interactive final. The tomb on the other side of this dig site is said to be haunted . . . or at least, the original one was. The only thing haunting this one is your test. Your objective is to get through the tomb and out again, but you've got it easy. All you have to do is answer the questions, not dodge booby traps. One at a time, though. So line up here, brush up a little while you wait your turn, and then get back here. Do well enough on the test and I might even let you celebrate the end of the semester with a bang."

That said, she leaned back against the desk and waited.

Question 6: The Sarcophagus

[drjcovington.livejournal.com]

. . . the center of the room, where an ornate sarcophagus (http://www.dyqatt.com/fh/mih/xwp-xenascrolls-final073.jpg) over which a skull keeps vigil stands. The lid of the sarcophagus slides open to reveal a muscular, leather-clad man (http://www.dyqatt.com/fh/mih/xwp-xenascrolls-final076.jpg) who rises from within it to ask you a question:

"The Tao Te Ching is credited to Lao Tzu. Who really wrote it?" [* (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/1241521.html)]

Evie stared. Then squeaked. Leather. Oh dear Lord. "Hum wha?"

Zack was paying more attention to the skull than to the leather-clad man, it was so big and... big. "Oh...his wife."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" D never even heard the question, she was too busy running away. She'd run into that guy before.

Only, he was invisible then. Er, not to her, just everyone else.

There may have been a wee bit of flailing.

Will may have taken a moment or two to blink at and appreciate the muscular,leather-clad man before answering his question.

"Yitzhak and Luke, according to the link. It was his wife, wasn't it? I don't remember Lao Tzu as sounding like a nice person."

Sam wasn't feeling intimidated by the man. Really. "Uh, his wife, Lao Ma."
