Interactive Religion [Tuesday, February 12]

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

When the students met again, they were in a room with a series of low tables and pillows to sit on.

"We're going to discuss the Tao some more today," Biff said, going from table to table as he poured out steaming cups of tea. "When Josh and I were in Afghanistan, the crazy magi there was convinced that we would eventually discover the path to immortality. Josh studied philosophy. I studied the subtle manipulation of the elements--alchemy."

He waved his hand towards the cups of tea. "Drink up."

Drink the tea and listen to the lecture!

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Tea. Which is totally not poisoned in any way by the subtle manipulator of the elements.

Seely drank the tea, frowning slightly.

Karal settled on a cushion, legs crossed neatly, and sipped his tea while he listened to Biff.

It was certainly different from Karsite tea.

Rikku ... wasn't sure what was going on, or why they were just having tea for once. But hey, okay. Tea. She sipped it and listened, behaving for once.

Mmmm. Tea!

Romeo sipped the tea cautiously at first, but then with more enthusiasm. It was good.

Andrew drank the tea. It was there, he was bored.

Aravis, of course, drank the tea. It was tea. It'd be stupid not to.

That said, she didn't really care for it.

Hey, it was free. Normally it wasn't Reno's thing, but whatever.

Reno drank the tea.

Billy did not drink the tea. Not because he did not trust his teacher, but simply because he was not in the mood for tea. That did not stop him from listening intently to the lecture.

Sam preferred coffee to tea, but the tea still sounded good, so he took some.

Katara sipped the tea carefully. It would be rude not to, of course.

Re: Drink the tea and listen to the lecture!

[ambassadorinara.livejournal.com]

Inara was well used to tea as a part of religious rituals and sipped hers with the proper reverence.

Wait a minute...

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

If you drink the tea, you will soon discover that you are completely paralyzed. You can still blink, though.

Biff has decided that it'd be easier to lecture if no one can talk back, and he's now lecturing from the Book of the Divine Elixirs or the Nine Tripods of the Yellow Emperor. It's surprisingly interesting.

Not that you have a choice, if your paralyzed.

Re: Wait a minute...

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

Seely was glaring at Biff...or at least attempting to.

Re: Wait a minute...

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal...couldn't move.

Somehow, he wasn't at all surprised. Vkandis Sunlord, why does he do these things?

He waited patiently - not that he had much choice in the matter - trusting that, no matter how bizarre Biff was, it would wear off.

Or Altra would come back and deal with the problem.

If he could have, Karal would have smiled at that thought. Instead, he just sat there (again, no choice) and let the words wash over him.

Re: Wait a minute...

[the_merriest]

Rikku would have been making this face, except that Rikku couldn't make this face, being paralyzed and all.

Sure, the one time she trusts the stupid religion class and he pulls this crap.

She would also be seething, if she could seethe.

Re: Wait a minute...

After getting over the initial shock of being paralyzed and realizing it was so no one could run away during the lecture (at least in Jamie's opinion), Jamie fell asleep.

Re: Wait a minute...

[withoutverona]

Romeo did not like this at ALL. He spent the rest of the lecture fighting a rising panic, and waiting for unconsciousness and death.

WTF BLUE?!

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

And Biff, naturally, has to keep himself entertained while he's lecturing.

So he's painted all of the faces of the paralyzed students bright blue. You look good blue!

Good thing, too. It's going to take about a day for it to wear off.

Re: WTF BLUE?!

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal spent some time wondering if anything Biff did ever made sense.

And whether or not the blue was going to come off any time soon.

And whether Evey would laugh at him for being blue. Not that he'd mind, he liked it when she laughed, he just needed something to think about.

Because it wasn't like he could move.

Talk to the TA!

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

If you can still talk! Or he can.

Re: Talk to the TA!

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal for once wasn't banging his head on the desk or trying to hide underneath it. That would be because there was no desk, and he couldn't move.

Also, he was blue.

Sunlord, if you wanted to throw a lightning bolt in his general direction, I'm certain no one would mind, he thought wistfully. Not at him, but if it could hit somewhere close by...

Talk to Biff

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

Probably after you've been unparalyzed at the end of class.

Re: Talk to Biff

[the_merriest]

"And what was that supposed to prove?" Rikku asked, waving her arms wildly. "That religion is stupid and you should never let your guard down?"

OOC

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

Biff's canon is crack. If you choose to be paralyzed, Biff will give you the antidote at the end of class and your character will have the feeling of pins-and-needles for about an hour afterwards.

The blue face paint will last for as long as you'd like, but it would stick around for at least a day, depending on the frequency of washings :)

If you choose not to be paralyzed and blue, that's fine, too, but Biff won't let you stick around the class for not following that first instruction.

Yes, I'm out of my mind.

Drink the tea! Drink the tea! *goes back to reading the canon*
