Class had been alerted that they would be meeting at Portalocity unless otherwise specified, and that their destination this week would be somewhat cooler than Baltimore currently.

When they all showed up, Hannibal nodded to them. "Welcome. The idea of this class is that each week we will experience a different cuisine of the world. Those of you who are not from Earth may not be aware, but this world is home to thousands of different cultures and cuisines. Even those of you that are from Earth may not be familiar with many of the sorts of foods available to you."

He waved them through the portal that appeared, where they ended up on a street in front of a building with a tree growing through it.

"Welcome to São Paulo, Brazil. Brazil is the largest country on the continent of South America; São Paulo is its most populous city. There are influences of both the indigenous peoples and the Portuguese empire in its culture and food. This restaurant is Figueira Rubaiyat, so named because of the tree it is built around. Some of the food is raised and grown locally. They employ a number of meats, from beef to octopus; they also take particular pride in their desserts. The local language is Brazilian Portuguese, but they should also speak English here, or Spanish if you prefer."

He led them in and they were shown to their table. "Please enjoy, and let me know if you have any questions."

[OOC: Anybody that wants to drop by Portalocity and catch them will be welcomed on the field trip, this week or any week! Auditors encouraged. :) ]

Hannibal shook his head. "And if there are others breaking the law, and they have nothing in common but their ideals, how will you catch them?"

"Then the Wolves would be assigned to the case," Kaylin explained. "They do more of the investigating."

"And the Hawks and the Wolves don't work together?" Hannibal asked.

"Not really," Kaylin said. "The Hawks and Wolves and Swords all have their own positions. We share information, but we all have our own separate jobs."

"So you would give the information to the Wolves, and they would tell you where to go to arrest people?" Hannibal asked.

"I'd give the information to Marcus who would tell the Hawklord and one of them would tell us who to get," Kaylin said. "Mostly though, I'd be walking a beat."

Oh, she couldn't wait to be able to do that for real!

"Ah." Hannibal nodded. "Forgive me, then; I misunderstood the nature of the Hawks' position. They would be more like policemen, and less like detectives. The two are often intertwined here."

Kaylin nodded. "I still don't really understand how all of your stuff here works. I just know when I tell people about being a Hawk they say it's like the police here."

Hannibal nodded. "The police are charged with enforcing the laws. However, our police forces here have both 'beat cops' and detectives, and it is not uncommon for individuals to move from one job to the other."

"Huh..." Kaylin considered this. "Well, I'll be happy just being a Hawk."

"If that is what you prefer, I hope you will be very happy there," Hannibal said.

She grinned at him. "Oh, I will!"
