Blending In, Wednesday, Period 6

Ziva had to admit, she was looking forward to teaching again far more than she'd expected to, so when the students arrived in the Danger Shop, they'd find her looking quite content, even if she was dressed in a very un-Zivalike fashion.

"Good afternoon," she said. "For those of you who are new to the school, my name is Ziva David. You may call me Ziva if you wish, or Ms. David if you insist on formality. Hopefully, all of you are in the right place and are here to learn about blending in when visiting different places and interacting with different cultures. We will be sticking to Earth cultures, because this is where I am from," and no, that never got less strange to have to say, "and while normally the first week is reserved for introductions, I would like to swim right in and get started - with something easy, and a little local."

Once Ziva was done playing with the Danger Shop controls, the students would find themselves in a side room at a large racetrack.

"The Kentucky Derby is a major event that takes place in the southern part of the United States," Ziva said. "Attendees come from all over the world to watch horses worth millions of dollars race around this track. It is the first race of three that take place every spring, so it is very important, because the winner of this race usually becomes the favorite to win the other two races as well. Like many events that take place in the South, there is a kind of dress code to follow," she added, motioning to her dress and the crazy hat. "We will sample some of the local cuisine while we get the introductions out of the way, and then we can watch the race. Once you've all changed into something more appropriate, of course."

"Blysse Norwood," she introduced herself, fidgeting with the hat and trying to remember to not pull it off. "And Blind Seer," the large wolf by her side gave an approximation of a bow, lowering his forelegs and dipping his head down briefly. "Am not so sure how old I am, though Blind Seer is perhaps six? We growed up in mountains just outside Hawk Haven. And we sign up for this class because... both of us are liking visiting new places," she shrugged. Unfortunately her particular manner of speech (not to mention the giant-wolf thing) was going to make blending in more difficult should she ever be required to make conversation, but that was a bridge that'd be crossed when they came to it.

Firekeeper nodded. "We go to New York, and also on spring break trip," she couldn't remember the name of the place, just that it had been warm, a welcome change from winter weather.
