"Today I get to ~~bitch about~~ talk about the Twelve," Biff said with a slightly predatory gleam to his eyes. "Of course, there were fifteen of us, when you add in me, Josh, and Maggie." He frowned. "Who wasn't a harlot and I have no idea how that rumor got started. Probably her ex-husband."

He shrugged. "Anyone, the fourteen of us were in charge of logistics and security for Josh's events. As you might've guessed, that boy was a security nightmare. After the Sermon on the Mount--and if you think that was just off the top of his head, you're out of your mind--the apostles split up to spread the Word of the Messiah and Josh and I stayed out of the public eye for a little while."

Biff grinned. "Your activity today is to go forth and preach as the apostles did, heal the sick, and bring the good news that, frankly, not a lot of fairly important people were eager to hear. The computer will generate a number of scenarios that the apostles encountered. And you, lucky, lucky you, get to be one of the apostles. That's also been randomly assigned."

The former altar boy was attempting to draw on the time he had spent in church by delivering a near-repetition of one of Friar Laurence's sermons-cum-lectures.

Unfortunately, it was coming out as a lot of "blah blah blah, and lo, Jesus is like unto this plant metaphor, for he is green, with strong roots, and there are ... flowers. In heaven."

No one said he was a good altar boy.

A guy dressed in rags would looked a lot like Biff oozed up to him. "I'm a leper. How're you?"

"Probably better than you, good sir," Romeo answered, once he had his wits again. "The man I serve has healed my heart and redeemed my soul, as he would heal your sores."

He blinked a little when he finished talking, rather pleased with himself.

Biff gave him a quick thumbs-up. "But I'm all oozy and gross," he said. "Why would he heal me?"

"Because he loves even the least of men," Romeo answered quietly. "The oozier the better."

"He's got some kind of problems, then," he observed. "What's this guy's name anyway?"

"Josh," Romeo tried. It felt weird to say, but he was talking to Biff. "He is the messiah."

"Oh, my rabbi was telling me about him. He's crazy."

"And do you always believe your rabbi, or would you like to see for yourself?" Romeo/Peter asked. "If nothing else, he may heal you, sir."

"I don't really get around much anymore, now that my toes have fallen off," the leper overshared.
