"Okay, so apparently the weather is going to get real bad soon," Magnus said, scratched at his sideburns awkwardly. "So instead of driving today, we'll be sort of doing some woodworking."

Kinda. In a way.

"I got a bunch of that plywood stuff and some hammers and nails so we can help out people in town with boarding up windows."

Because he was a goddamn fantasy boyscout about some things. Mostly involving keeping people safe.

"Soooo... let's get going, kay?"

International Cuisine | Friday, 3rd period

Class today still met at Portalocity; it wasn't as if a potential hurricane tomorrow was going to stop them from going anywhere else today, after all. It just meant that Hannibal was in a very stylish raincoat.

"We're heading to Morocco today," he told the students. "It will be rather warm, so you'll want to leave your raingear here." As he was. "We haven't yet been to Africa this term, and I thought it might be time to change that."

He led them through the portal and into a bustling street surrounded by stalls. "Marrakech, Morocco," he explained. "Morocco has been a hub of trade for centuries, and its spices and cuisine reflect that. Mediterranean and Arabic cuisines are the strongest influences, and olive oil, fruits, grains, and a number of meats, including lamb, are common."

He led them further down the street. "Today we will be eating at Dar Cherifa, a restaurant meant as a calm oasis in the midst of the souks - the markets. It features a fairly traditional and varied menu. As usual, I will order a number of things for us, and you're welcome to order your own as well."

He nodded at the waiter as they were led to their table. "The predominant languages here are Arabic and Berber, but most people will also speak French, and some will know Spanish or English. Please don't hesitate to ask should you have any questions.
