"Good morning, my class!" Vala greeted them cheerfully as they entered. Possibly waaaaay too cheerfully. No, she wasn't going to explain that either. In any event, there was a large jar of applesauce on Sam's desk for him. "First, a huge thank you to my able assistant who I am told did a wonderful job explaining paganism. However, if you have any questions about it, I'll be happy to answer them. Due to my unavoidable absence last week, you missed out on the midterm, which will be more of a practical--mostly because I don't feel like grading tests this weekend--and take place over the course of this week."

"Your assignment is to choose one of the religions we've studied so far--not your own--and immerse yourselves in it for the week. Customs, beliefs, style of dress if that makes a difference, religious practices, all of it. I want you to become a member of that faith. And then I want you to be prepared to give an oral presentation on your experiences next week, so we can all learn from what you learned. Isn't cooperation fun?" Again with the big grin.

"So, please sign in and choose your religion, then come up with a plan of att--er, action--for the week."

Please note that this assignment can also be handwaved if you choose.

Lana chose paganism - wiccan particularly, since she thought she had a pretty good handle on that already.

After careful consideration of the options, flipping through her notes in an assortment of languages and order, Adah decided that her choice would be the decadently ancient religion of the Egyptians. Especially if she can work out more research on that parasitic version.

Z decided to be Jewish. After all, she already knew a Jew, and he seemed...okay, not exactly like everybody else, but his differences were attributable to him being Bridge, not his religion. How hard could it be?

Luke decided to be a Christian, and made a mental note to wander down to the church at some point during the week.

After careful consideration, and feeling uncomfortable at the idea of worshiping anyone other than Vkandis, even if it wasn't serious, Karal chose the Egyptians.

And if he focussed solely on Ra, well, another sun god lessened his discomfort slightly.

Sam thought about the Hellenistic gods, but that had the potential to amuse Ares far too much, so he decided to go with paganism instead.

Adam chose the African religion, since it had intrigued him.

Dean toyed with the idea of doing paganism for the assignment, but in the end decided to bite the bullet and pick the one that he had the most issues with -- Catholicism.

Gwynn chose Paganism... Druids specifically.

Irulan thought it over before finally deciding on Islam. It seemed an interesting religion and reminded her of the Fremen religion in Arrakis.
