Interactive Religion [Tuesday, March 18]

Today the Danger Shop was configured to look like a shore.

And on that shore, there was an elephant.

And next to that elephant was a teacher holding a series of handouts.

"Today, we're teaching yoga to an elephant," he said, pointing at the elephant. "Well, you are. I've already done that."

No he hadn't.

"Read the handouts, practice a few of the movements--if you manage to squeeze yourself into a wine jug, make sure to oil yourself up well because I'm not breaking you back out--and then take turns trying to teach Vana here some yoga."

The elephant looked in no way interested in being taught.

Reno

Boggle at Biff!

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

Because last week's normality was waaaay too good to be true.

Reno would be boggling at Biff. But he was too busy boggling at the elephant, instead.

"The heck is that thing?"

Katara stared at the elephant. It was like Appa. But grey. And wrinkly. And not soft at all.

"Can he fly?"

... Romeo thought he remembered how weird Professor Biff was, but, somehow, this class exceeded his expectations.

It was good to be home.

Elephants were cool. Andrew wondered if it was friendly.

Rikku blinked. Okay, so they had deformed baby shoopufs. Good to know.

It's not that Billy didn't trust Biff. But he was pretty sure that their teacher was having them on.

The yoga, Inara was pleased by. The untamed natural odor of the elephant? Not so much.

Practice yoga poses!

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

Yay, bendy!

Re: Practice yoga poses!

Rikku didn't know yoga, but she was tiny, flexible, and enjoyed doing stretchy things. Like getting that kink out of her neck. This yoga stuff rocked. Uh. When she could figure out how to get her arms like that.

As Sam quickly found out, some yoga poses were not meant for people who were abnormally tall.

Billy had no problem with most of the yoga poses, but some of them just weren't possible with a strap on prosthetic leg.

Inara was more than happy to spend the class bending herself into strange and fascinating shapes.

Putting her feet behind her head was actually surprisingly comfortable.

Teach yoga to an elephant!

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

Here's a hint: you can't. Feel free to get frustrated trying, though.

Jamie might have misunderstood the assignment.

"Okay," Jamie said approaching the elephant, "The first thing you need to do is try and steal a couple of picnic baskets then say 'I'm smarter than the average bear'."

An elephant who did yoga would have made for an excellent act at the Moulin Rouge, so Romeo, though he doubted he'd manage it, was willing to try as he approached the large beast.

"Child's Pose?" he suggested hopefully, demonstrating. If it didn't work, he might get a nap from the deal.

The elephant sighed.

Rikku was totally trying to teach yoga to the elephant. And not calling it a shoopuf and trying to see if she could sneak it food.

Billy looked at the hand out, and then to the Elephant. He just didn't think it was physically possible for the Elephant to do these poses.

Talk to the TA!

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

Poor, poor Karal...

Re: Talk to the TA!

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal just stared at the elephant.

He wasn't even surprised.

Talk to Biff!

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

It's what he lives for.

OOC

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

Because world ending is bad.

Biff was just the Prime Minister of England! In a movie that I call Sarah Connor: Escape from Thunderdome. But in actuality is actually called Doomsday.
