The Book of Dangers is free, and Biff leafs through it as he sharpens a severed chair leg. Wooden ( Read more... )

Quinn slips into 202 briefly, more to grab a bottle of water for the time ahead than anything else, and spots Biff at work. "Translating?" he guesses.

"Yup. What's another word for 'sticky?'"

"'Tacky' usually works," says Quinn. "For glue and such, anyways. I got started on some of that, if it helps at all- the Book of People's in English and Aurebesh already."

"Is it?" Biff flips open the Book of People and peers at it. "It is. Cool. I'll copy my roster into it next."

Quinn nods. "Padme's been teaching me, so I've been doing it as I go along with the English. Did my best on the sketches, but I'm not that much of an artist- is yours at least recognisable?"

Biff holds up a picture he's drawn of a vampire. It looks exactly like Drusilla in a bikini. He's grinning too much over it.

"Yes? Maybe? I learned Chinese calligraphy when I was 14, and once I copied out all the illustrations in the Kama Sutra, so at the very least I can write in Chinese and draw people having sex."

That gets a blink and a startled look. "Bugger. When I was fourteen I was learning to run like a rabbit. I think you had the more entertaining teenage years."

Biff frowns. "Running like a rabbit specifically, or just running? And, yeah, I also learned how to blow things up with boiled-down goat piss, and there's very little more entertaining than waste-based explosions."

twoeyesonthesky April 6 2006, 21:21:43 UTC

"Well, running like something small and squishy that's got something big and ugly with lots of claws about to swoop down on it. Rabbit sounded about right, but I'm flexible." Quinn shrugs. "Although the goat piss one sounds like it'd be worth learning if anyone shows up with a goat."

buddyofchrist April 6 2006, 21:23:21 UTC

"I dunno, maybe it'd work with human piss, too. Worth a try."

twoeyesonthesky April 6 2006, 21:24:45 UTC

Quinn eyes the other man.

"D'you mean to say that you went half your life knowing how to blow things up using goat urine and it never once occurred to you to test it with your own?"

Because Creedy? Would totally have gone straight for experimenting given half the chance.

Biff starts to answer, then pauses.

"Well you know, it's not as though I was blowing things up all the time," he says, when he's gotten his train of thought back. "I was on a holy quest. Well, tagging along on a holy quest. Holy quests don't often call for explosions."

Pause.

"Well, there was that one time in Calcutta, but that was more humanitarian than anything."
