The Modern World & You, Wednesday Second Period

"Well!" Yennefer said as she looked out over the eager sea of...three students. "Another semester has begun. Where does the time go?" No, really. She was pretty sure she'd skipped a couple of weeks somehow.

Jaskier, meanwhile, was watching her with a thoughtful look. "Well, you know how it is," he said in a terrible, just terrible Boston accent.

Look, you could all blame Kitty for this.

Yennefer stared at him for a moment, then said to the students, "If you're here to learn about getting along in this reality versus whatever mudhole you're from--" she was from a mudhole, she could say that--"you're in the right place. We are your instructors: I am Yennefer of Vengerburg, and this is...Jaskier." Ugh.

"Do you..." Jaskier, no. "Do you want to kiss me?"

"What is wrong with you?" Yennefer hissed out of the corner of her mouth. "Besides the usual."

"Well, the audience would like to know," Jaskier insisted. Wait until he did that talking head interview. "Be cool, Yennifer. This is my big break."

Bards. Honestly. Maybe if she just ignored him and acted like he was behaving normally (for once)? "This week," Yennefer told the students, "we are going to talk about something amazing this world has: vaccines!"

Jaskier went to go sit to address the camera for his talking head interview here. "I didn't really want to kiss her. I just wanted to know if she wanted to kiss me. It makes you think. Like vaccines make you think, you know?"

She was going to kill him. But after class. "For those of you who are unfamiliar, here's how it works: you go to the clinic and they poke you with a needle containing an agent against a malevolent entity known as a 'germ,' and then, and this is the incredible part, you don't die of the pox. You should try it."

"Are they expensive?" Belle asked. "I have money, of course." So much more than yesterday, somehow! "But I was curious."

Jo was vaguely aware of vaccines, a lot of the big ones hadn’t been invented yet but it wasn’t completely unheard of for her, “we don’t have many vaccines back home,” she said, “at my old school we used to have to bring a health certificate to say like we hadn’t been in contact with anyone who was infectious,”
