Food & Cultural Appreciation, Tuesday Third Period

[carbsliftthespirit]

"All right, everyone," Raiden said to his assembled students, "today we are going to beautiful Marrakesh, Morocco, where it is going to be hot, topping 100 degrees Fahrenheit, so I hope you got my message and dressed appropriately, both for the weather and for local customs--no uncovered shoulders or knees, please. While Marrakesh is used to tourists and you wouldn't get in trouble for wearing shorts, we're being respectful. The medina, or old town, of Marrakesh is a UNESCO World Heritage site, meaning it's been internationally recognized as significant and worthy of preservation, and that's where we're headed today. It's a great area full of markets and street vendors and, of course, delicious food. We'll have some time to explore and sample the local street food, maybe do some shopping if you're into that kind of thing, and then we'll stop in at a restaurant and have a delicious tajine for lunch? Sound like a plan? Great! Let's go!"

Just before they went through the portal Raiden added, "Oh, and if there's anything particular you want me to tell anyone who might be visiting this weekend, you should probably let me know now." He'd lie for you if necessary, but he needed to know what lies were being told, guys.

Re: Talk to Raiden

Envy had kicked up and Alastair was coming to try to minimize the potential damage and/or fallout from having Daman and Bellamy on the island - possibly Daman and Bellamy on the island together specifically - while Galen raged about not going, probably felt guilty about his temper being a major reason why he wasn't going, and then also raged about that.

See? She was learning!

"Oh, Daman is?" Arden asked, a little faintly. Not because Daman had been particularly mean to her or anything, but because he was so pretty. Probably the prettiest of all the brothers (sorry Bellamy, though you did make Arden blush just by talking, so...). "That'll be interesting. I'll make sure to swing by and say hi."

"I'm sure he'll be glad to see you!" Okay, 'glad' was probably a strong word, but Raiden was an eternal optimist. 'Relieved not to have, Arden didn't even say hi, bet Arden said hi to other people, to obsess over' was definitely in the cards, though.
