"Right. Welcome back." Miguel crossed his arms. "Hope you all had a good time on break." He was still finding lobster things to get back at Rosa with, personally.
"We hope you enjoyed getting to see Japan," Hannibal added a little more genuinely. He'd had a lovely time.
Well, not everybody had just gone and bought their own rooms, Hannibal. Some of them had had to fight for the bed. Some of them, like Stark, had spent the past couple of days enjoying having a bed at all again because while Japanese hotel floors were very clean they were not particularly comfortable.
"You may have noticed a lot of people there figured out you were tourists," Miguel said. "Not speaking the language is a dead giveaway."
"For some of you," Hannibal said in flawless Japanese.
Miguel rolled his eyes. Showoff.
Hannibal ignored that. "Many things may set you apart from locals in a new place: the way you speak, the way you dress, the way you hold yourself. Even in your own home, these things may mark you as part of a particular group or class."
"Sometimes that can be a problem," Miguel said. "Being noticed isn't always good. If you want to blend in, you may have to find ways to avoid being noticed." He took off his sunglasses and used them to gesture at his eyes. "Red's not a human-standard color around here." He put the glasses back on. "So when I'm not on the island, I keep these on. I talk quietly to keep from opening my mouth too much and showing my fangs."
“I stand out,” Stark said, waving his hand at his mask. “Can’t be helped. Would be worse without the mask. It’s fine here, on the island. Not always everywhere else. I don’t travel much on this planet.” Japan had been a big deal for him. “Or off this planet, anymore. When I do...I try not to draw any extra attention. Better not to be noticed. Extra attention doesn’t end well.” It ended with him being locked up, a few times.
"Being aware of your differences is the first hurdle," Hannibal said. "For me, my accent gives away the fact that I am not a native of this continent. My way of dressing says that I am rich, which could be a problem in some places, and could certainly mark me as worth noticing."
"So," Miguel said, "what are your differences? You've all been here long enough to figure out the basics, and we can help if you need it. If you needed to blend in here - on the mainland - what would you have to do? Back home, how would people see you and how could you change that to blend in?"
