Cultural Exploration [Friday, 2nd Period]

[so_hawkward]

Clint had triple checked that everything was set at the Portalocity office in town for this class - call it first day nervousness, call it a desire to not get fired for losing students via portals, but either way Clint was ready to go by the time everyone arrived.

"Hey guys," he said, giving everyone his most easygoing smile. "Welcome to Cultural Exploration. I hope you're all in the right place, and if you're not, you're welcome to come along for the ride anyway. I'm Clint Barton, and you can call me Mr. Barton if you want to, but it's also cool if you don't want to be that formal or whatever. Today, we're going to start off by visiting Paris, France. I have some places I want you to check out, and we'll get to all the introduction stuff at the end."

He was pretty sure there was a rule against not having introduction time somewhere in the school handbook, but finding out for certain would involve reading it, and that just wasn't happening.

Eat Something! [CE 1]

The class' first stop was at La Fontaine de Mars where the students could enjoy anything on the menu that wasn't alcoholic.

Seriously, Clint likes this job, please don't get him fired on the first day of the semester.

Alec found a table a little ways away from most of the rest of the group and ordered a salad, proving himself to be an exceedingly boring person. He seemed content with his choices, though.

There were some interesting things on the menu. The calf's head salad caught his eye and he almost ordered it just to see if a calf's head would show up but he refrained.

Instead, he went with some french fries. Those were safe and he didn't want to end up with a stomachache because he'd eaten something that disagreed with his stomach.

Maddie loved this class pretty much immediately. She knew "plat du jour" had to mean "plate of the day," which sounded pretty safe, even if she didn't know what quennelles in seafood coulis was. She'd figure it out, right?

Oh, how Walter would thrill to see Paris! Rilla looked around with wide, avid eyes, trying to remember everything so she could write about it to him and Ken.

This was such a hopeful sign after nothing but bad news from France in her time. No one here was speaking German or shelling churches.

She ordered a floating island and a cup of tea and was more than happy to people watch for a while. The women here were all so fashionable. It made her feel quite frumpy.

Mercy decided to try the duck 'confits' since she'd seen it on tv, but never had it before. And she finished up with the strawberries, sayavon and vanilla ice cream. Delicious!

Yeul went with Gratin Dauphinois, partly because she was unsure what it was exactly.

That just made it more interesting, after all, right?

Alex decided to go with one of the desserts, because really, who could go wrong with that? In this case, she chose vanilla crème brûlée.

Zhahar's experience with Dr. Lecter's class had made Sholeh a little more adventurous when it came to trying new foods, so she closed her eyes and pointed at the menu.

Duck's confit it was then! And she'd try not to worry about why confit was in quotation marks.

Goose was not a picky eater so he selected an item at random of the menu and ended up with one of the fish meals.
