Open RP: Sports? Are you serious?

[i-have-my-flaws.livejournal.com]

(some time after her fevery/craziness episode. Probably a few weeks while she scrounged up materials. I know Adam wanted in on this one, but anyone's free to join in at their leisure. Warning for Dean in advance: if he comes into this, he's gonna get attacked. Not in a bad way per se, but I still thought the warning would be fair. XD And now there's a post on Starbuck's journal, So everyone can get a better idea of how this game goes.)

She got the ball. What she needed was the court.

It had taken a little longer than she'd expected. Well, to be honest, she hadn't thought about it hard enough. The good news was that she hadn't been bored in quite a while. The bad news was she'd searched for a tool kit forever and then had to take various equipment apart to get the pieces she'd needed, which was no small task. Good for keeping in shape, though, which was something.

Okay, she wasn't exactly sure that she had the pieces she needed. She'd certainly seen a pyramid court put together from scratch, but that was a little different than making it by yourself. Yeah, just a little.

Sador was whining at her again.

"It's not time for lunch yet, you brat," she told the dog as she surveyed the wreck she'd dumped in front of Space Mountain. She had marked out the arena with masking tape that she'd found in an office. It was regulation size, or she hoped it was after all the trouble she'd gone through to get it that way. Only one area left to tape off and then she could try to put up the rest of the equipment.

Not that she had any idea how to do that.

Taking a walk to see if anything interesting was going on in the park, Adam wandered through Tomorrowland and caught a glimpse of someone familiar, so he headed that way. "Hallo, Starbuck! Whatcha up to? An' who's this?" he added, looking at Sador with a bright grin.

Rethreaded. Whee!

"Well, all right. I guess I should tell ya a little 'bout Christianity then. Pull up a crate," grinned Adam, setting one down and settling on it. It felt right to be telling stories this way.

"See there's this one God who made everythin'. At first, he just made Heaven an' a bunch of angels. An' everythin' was real good. But his second-in-command, an angel called Lucifer, thought he could do God's job better or somethin', so he formed an army to take over. God decided that wantin' to do that was Pride an' Pride was Wrong, so He made all the angels in the new army Fall down to a new place called Hell where everythin' is bad an' all the rebel angels turned to demons with Lucifer as their leader. With me so far?" he asked.

"Right. Well, after a bit, God started creatin' stuff like Time an' stars an' planets an' then He finally created the Earth. An' after creatin' water an' land an' plants an' animals, He created people. Two people. Adam an' Eve. Humans who had free will. That's sorta a whole long story on its own, but basic'ly, those two had some kids and eventu'ly the whole world was covered in people with free will to decide if they wanted to be good or bad. So Heaven an' Hell started tryin' to influence the people to be good or bad so they'd go to Heaven or Hell when they died."

Adam wished he'd thought to bring a water bottle back as well. "Okay, so after 'bout four thousand years, God had a human son called Jesus. An' Jesus did miracles an' preached 'bout how people should be nice to each other an' lovin' an' stuff. Buncha people didn't like that, so they had him brutally killed. But by Jesus dyin' when he wasn't guilty, it somehow saved everybody's soul so they could go to Heaven, an' made it so you hadda be real bad to go to Hell.

"Worshippin' him, Jesus Christ, is called Christianity. An' Jesus's friends went out an' started this big church an' stuff. So people started writin' these stories down into the book I told you 'bout called the Bible. Well, some prophets started figurin' out what would happen later and wrote it up in the last chapter of the Bible called Revelations."

He sighed. "Revelations says that jus' like God had a son, Lucifer was gonna have one, too. He was gonna be called the Antichrist - the Beast where Jesus was the Lamb - an' he was gonna bring about the end of the world after it'd been around for six thousand years. Then Heaven an' Hell were gonna count up the people an' have a big war to see which side was better for once an' for all."

Pausing, Adam looked at Starbuck. "This makin' sense so far? Well, I mean it don't really make sense, but you're followin' it all right?"
