Guiding the Powerful Yet Incompetent, Tuesday, Second Period

Yennefer was muttering to herself and jabbing at the Danger Shop remote when the students entered said Danger Shop for today's class. When she saw them, she said, "Ah! Hello! I am Yennefer of Vengerburg, and this is 'Guiding the Powerful Yet Incompetent,' and if you're wondering about my qualifications, I was an advisor to the king of Aedirn for...far longer than I should have been, really. For at least the beginning of the semester, we will be guiding...this." She tentatively pushed a button on the Danger Shop remote, and a person shimmered into existence. He was red-haired, corpulent, and holding a turkey leg. Whew. Success.

"No disrespect to whoever this is, because I'm sure that in life he was a perfectly fine ruler who only went through the usual number of wives," Yennefer said, because she did not, in fact, recognize Henry VIII, "but I asked the program to give me something between 'standard useless medieval king' and 'that orange thing someone put in charge of America' and this is what it spat out. But enough of that." She pushed another button, and Henry disappeared.

"Today I would like to get to know you." Well, not really, but she was led to believe it was traditional. "Please tell me your name, where you're from, what made you interested in my class, and anything else you think I really ought to know about you."

"Ugh," Illyana sighed, leaning back in her chair. "But they're so earnest and optimistic."

Which, really, was about 50% of the reason she was here and not at Xavier's.
Illyana wasn't able to deal with the idealism, not after what had happened, or how she'd been treated in the aftermath.
