fandomhigh | Magical Theory and Practice, Friday, Period 3

Today's workshop was being held in a classroom. There was a hot Renaissance Faire goth standing at the front of the classroom when the students arrived, and when they sat down they would notice that each of them had a flower and a rock sitting on their desk. "Good afternoon," Yennefer said to her students. "I am Yennefer of Vengerberg, and this is..." She glanced at her notes, and then looked again. "Magical Theory and Practice. Bit of a joke in the class description, I see." Or was it? "Well, we might get to that. We'll see how it goes. For now, I will tell you that while I am new to instruction, I am a sorceress trained in the school of Aretuza, and have been an advisor to the king of Aedirn for thirty years." Yep, she was older than she looked.

"Being as we all come from different realities here, I expect we also come from different magical traditions, and that sticking too closely to what I was taught might be completely useless to you, but I believe that in broad strokes much of that information continues to be true, based on the fact that I have been able to do magic since I got here, so I will teach you starting from that foundation. First, I would like to know what I am working with. Everyone will please tell me their name, so I can check them off this list, and what their experience level is with magic, and a little of how they know it to work, and then we're going to do a little exercise. Any questions so far? No? Good."

"I'm Amaya Blackstone," Amaya offered, in the cheery tone of someone who had no idea what she was doing here, but, would you look at that, there she was anyway. "And I haven't got a magical bone in my whole body! And, before anyone asks," and she didn't even mean this in the dirty way, "no, I don't particularly want one."

Sorry 'bout that, Yennifer. A bit too many evil witches and wizards around Amaya's way for her to have too high opinion of the stuff, even with a few people around Fandom to help sway her mind a little.

Yennefer couldn't help taking it in the dirty way, Amaya. Sorry about that. But she was on court manners, so her eyes just lit up with amusement for a moment before she asked, "Then why did you sign up for this workshop?"

There was a good chance Amaya was going to test those court manners a lot, Yennifer.

She just couldn't help it; hers was a family-friendly franchise.

"I didn't," Amaya admitted with a resigned shrug and a shake of her head. "I guess the moose just thought he was being a bit funny, and I came anyway because I'd feel a bit bad, just not showing up, and, well, sometimes you can find useful things in unexpected places, so why not at least give it a spin?"

"I certainly hope you find something useful in this workshop," Yennefer agreed.

"That makes two of us," said Amaya, honestly enough, although she doubted it.

It would be nice ot have a little more fuel for her fire of wanting nothing to do with any of that magic business in the first place, though.
