Hannibal met the students at Portalocity and nodded at them. "Good afternoon. As this is the first week, we will be doing introductions. As part of the purpose of this class is to leave the island, we will be doing them in the restaurant."

He waved them through the portal and onto a street outside a restaurant. "Welcome to Paris. Le Grand Véfour is a restaurant that has been here for several centuries, and which looks out over the gardens of the Palais Royal. The food is a mixture of traditional and modern French. Please ask any questions you may have; the local language is French, but many of the servers will speak English, and I am fluent in French. Once we have eaten, we will be visiting La Grand Epicerie for shopping. Please let me know if there is anything specific you would like to purchase, and we can find it."

He led them into the restaurant.
