Discovering Earth, Friday, Period 2
"This week, we're switching from natural to human spectacles," Hannibal said. "We had hoped to do this next week, which is when it actually occurs, but as that is spring break...well, what use are portals if you can't tweak times a little?"
"And the way I see it, if you're going to tweak time, you might as well be doing it in order to catch a good party," Kanan added, grinning just a bit shamelessly. Look, he'd read up on this after Hannibal had mentioned it. He was completely gung-ho for this one. "I'll have to thank Portalocity for getting something right, for a change."
He might want to wait until they did, first.
Of course, if they didn't, then he'd be finding out just how far one can drop-kick a gnome when using the Force to enhance a good kick. So.
Hannibal shook his head at the enthusiasm and continued. "This time of year for those who follow the Catholic religion begins Lent - a period of giving up extravagance and luxury, traditionally. Thus, various cultures have a tradition of indulgence beforehand. One of those traditions is Carnival; the largest is in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Roughly two million people fill the streets over the week to engage in any number of things - dancing, music, art, a parade." He shrugged.
"I'm in this for the dancing," Kanan shared.
He was also in this for the debauchery, and was absolutely not planning on catching the first portal back, today.
"The music, dancing, and much of what you will see is a good example of Brazilian artistry, albeit often taken to the extreme," Hannibal said. "The primary language is Portuguese, but many will also speak Spanish, or English. Enjoy yourselves, and please do not get lost." Yourself or your clothes, Kanan.
