"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."

With your most confused icon.

Ask for more information about the people you're supposed to portray. Biff will cheerfully slander them. They left him out of the New Testament. He doesn't owe them anything.

Take a fellow student! Take your fourteen doggie disciples! Take your imaginary friend!

You can either mod your unimpressed gentiles/creepy lepers/demon-possessed weirdos/generally mean people or wait for Biff to toss something at you.

Or wander aimlessly around the desert. It's not like he gave you directions.

Poor, poor Karal.

Weird, weird Biff.

Jamie Madrox

"Thomas 2?" Jamie asked looking confused. "I don't remember two Thomases in the bible."

Just a quick rundown on the Apostles, according to Biff's canon:

Bart: A Greek Cynic and the village idiot of Nazareth. He pretty much never bathed and was followed around by a small pack of dogs he referred to as his disciples.
Philip: One of the followers of John the Baptist, he had a pretty good head on his shoulders.
Nathaniel: Has a gift of faith. Pretty much a ninny.
Andrew: Fisherman, brother of Peter. His kids stole Josh's camel at the wedding of Cana (as you do).
Peter: Fisherman, ridiculous hair. Tried to walk on water--sunk like a rock.
James: Brother of John. His mom stomps up to Josh and gives him the greatest of all guilt trips about how they better be getting good seats in the Kingdom since they drove their father's business into the ground.
John: Brother of James. They were business partners with Peter & Andrew. John is gay. He compliments Josh on how nice he smells post feet washing with perfume.
Matthew: Tax collector. Joined the apostles because Biff promised him bacon and women disciples. Bad Biff.
Thaddeus: A former disciple of John the Baptist.
Thomas: A complete loon. He has a imaginary friend only he can see that he has named Thomas Two (Thomas means "twin". Hahahahaha.).
Simon: A zealot looking to bring the Kingdom. Not necessarily sold on Josh being the Messiah, but thinks that's kind of a secondary concern.
Judas: Um. He's Judas.
Maggie: Unmitigated awesome. Easily the smartest of the bunch of them.

"There's just the one," Biff agreed, "and his imaginary friend. Thomas was a loony."

"Thomas" was glaring at various people. "Stop trying to stand on Thomas 2! How'd you like it if someone stood on you?"

To make matters worse, "Thomas" had a sticker that he had put on his chest that said "I've seen the Virgin Mary's girdle. Ask me how!"

"How loony are we talking here?" Jamie asked. "Like minor loony or just completely-"

Jamie made some noises while flicking his bottom lip. "B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B"

"Definitely the second one," Biff said, laughing. "He thought that Lazarus was a kind of cat, not a leper."

Reno

... "Simon who?"

Reno had only learned, like, a couple of weeks ago what Christianity actually was. This would take some work.

Ami Mizuno

"Philip? Could you give me more details please?"

Andrew Wells

Romeo Montague

"Was Thaddeus important?" Andrew had never heard of him.

Romeo was, possibly idiotically, flattered to be chosen as Peter, but he still had a question. "Why did Peter deny your friend?"

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.

Ahahahahahahaha!

Sam Winchester

Rikku

"Okay, which one am I?" Rikku asked.
