Interactive Religion [Tuesday, February 5]

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

When the students arrived in the Danger Shop for class it had been rearranged again--this time in series of cavernous rooms full of heavy furniture.

"Welcome to Afghanistan," Biff said with a smile. "Home of Balthazar, one of the creepiest magi ever. My friend Josh and I came here a couple thousand years ago to learn about the Tao. Well, Josh learned about the Tao. I learned about feng shui, which is dependent on something called qi, and then the rest of it I ignored because I was being taught by beautiful Chinese concubines and I got distracted easily."

He pointed at a series of small brass scales on a nearby table. "What I do know is that the qi in all of those rooms is totally screwed up. You take these brass scales and someone who looks good at lifting heavy objects and start moving things around until the qi is balanced again. When the little brass scales balance, you've completed the task."

Biff, it might be a little obvious, didn't really hold a lot of stock in the idea of feng shui. He just wanted them to move furniture around for an hour.

Boggle at the instructions

Oh, he learned a lot from the Chinese concubines. But that's not this class, thanks.

Re: Boggle at the instructions

Romeo had no idea what it had to do with religion, unless the brass scales represented halos or something, but he listened anyhow, even if he was completely confused.

"Is he moving?" Jamie whispered to Romeo. "Because I'm going to need pizza and beer if this goes outside the classroom."

Re: Boggle at the instructions

[withoutverona]

Romeo snorted back a laugh. "What I wish to know is where one finds Chinese concubines."

Rikku ... was staring.

What did furniture have to do with ... religion?!

Re: Boggle at the instructions

[raspberryturk]

Furniture moving was some kind of... feng shui... Wutai thing. Reno was blaming this one on Wutai.

He was also not staring at Rikku. At all.

Which she didn't notice when she darted a glance over at him.

Uh. Try for a smile and a nod and back to what she was doing.

Inara wasn't sure whether to smirk or be offended at the mention of concubines, and consequently ended up with a very strange look on her face as she listened to the instructions.

Also, she wasn't positive, but she didn't think qi worked that way.

Move furniture

Pair up in groups of twos and move furniture around. He doesn't care if you use secret powers to do it.

Re: Move furniture

[withoutverona]

Romeo had no idea if he could lift heavy things or not.

He probably *could,* but he was still going to try to get someone else to do it for him.

Re: Move furniture

[the_merriest]

"Is it just me, or is this class getting weirder every week?" Rikku asked, giggling.

Re: Move furniture

[withoutverona]

Romeo pointed to Jamie. "Aye, and the conversation I just had was near as odd as our teacher. But have you ever heard of this feng shui Professor Biff spoke of?"

Re: Move furniture

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

And then there were multiple Madroxes. (Madri? No. Wrong AU) Moving furniture. It was a thing.

Stretching so he didn't pull anything, Seely looked around for a partner.

"You can do all the heavy lifting," Aravis decided, taking a seat. "And I'll direct. And watch."

The watching was totally going to be the best part. Aravis loved this class.

Re: Move furniture

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

Seely eyed Aravis. "I'm not sure that's what Professor Biff meant."

Not that he was opposed to being ogled directed by Aravis.

Katara eyed the furniture. So not going to happen.

Talk to the TA

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

Poor, poor Karal. If he's back, naturally.

Talk to Biff

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

He's rocking a t-shirt with a hanggliding Jesus on it. Because what wouldn't Jesus do?

OOC

I'm back around 1 PST.
