4th Floor Common Room

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

Following Dr. Wilson's advice, Shep is laying on a couch in the common room with a warm washcloth over his face. There are mostly full packages of Aleve and Sudafed and half a bottle of orange juice on the nearby table.

The t.v. is set to Jeopardy! since you don't actually need to *see* it to know what's going on and Shep can be heard muttering about 3/4 of the answers from behind his navy blue washcloth.

"What is... the bright idea of bringing kittens to study hall? They're fucking adorable, but there are some of us who kind of... you know like to breathe. And I wasn't doing too well with that before the terrible tabby trio took hold of me."



[come poke. He's sick, but friendly]

His roommate comes by. "The answer to that one is 'Mephistopheles'." He settles in on the couch.

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

Of course. What idiot doen't know that? However, you don't get credit since you didn't phrase your answer in the form of a question.

How are classes going? Ever get even with the Marien the evil librarian?

*listens to the t.v. for a second.* Duh. What is your large intestine?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

"The bit right below your small intestine."

WHAT classes? I haven't seen either of my professors in weeks. I'm starting to think they're merely a shared illusion.

Har-dee-har-har... Let's see how well you do in "Can't 'beet' that with a stick." All answers will have 'beet' in them.

I don't know what's going on with Martial Arts. Who else is AWOL? If you're bored you can do this really heinous Linguistics midterm I got handed today. *peeks out from under the washcloth and grins*

[??? You gonna come in and chat? Lana and I are still talking but Wes left.]

[swerval_zero]

(ooc: I think that's my line.)

Lana Lang looks around the doorway. "I'm sorry, am I interrupting? I just... I didn't want to be alone in my room and the attic doesn't really have a common room..."

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

Nah, come on in.

We're playing Jeopardy. The Category is "Can't 'beet' that with a stick'. So all answers will have 'beet' in them.

"Despite being deaf most of his life, he's still one of the world's most well known musical composers."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

That's not 'beet', it's 'bate'. Who ARE these idiots?

Oh, come on, 'beatitudes' isn't pronounced 'beet' either.

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

Um... I'm fairly sure they were going for "Who is Beethoven."

For $400... Among them are the dung and the longhorn.

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana comes in tentatively with her books. "Thanks and uh... Who is Beethoven? This has to be the first round, right?"

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner. Yeah, they've been pretty easy so far.




[ooc: feel free to toss out questions too!]

No, you idiots, it's 'eschatology', the study of the end of the world, and it's not obsolete at all.

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

scat-ology? That just sounds... gross.

As for the end of the world... where I come from that wasn't just a Biblical threat.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

Wesley winces. "Same here. Last we checked, there were 2,357 known end-times prophecies, and I'm expected to be intimately familiar with all of them. Including the ravings of Blessed Stephen the God-Touched, who died after insisting that aqua regia was drinkable."

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

Aqua... who-what?

If I start going into some of the stuff I know, you could easily be up to 2380.

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Really? Where are you or when are you from?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

"All right, the only remaining category is 'Poison or Panacea'. Each answer in this category will be either deadly or beneficial."

"The Romans used it to flavor wine and to build their plumbing."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Uh, what is lead?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wespryce/]

"It could be used to turn lead into gold, or to grant eternal life."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"What is the philosopher's stone?"

"Socrates chose to end his life with this."

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

What is alchemy?
