Coping with the Non-Modern World, Tuesday, Second Period
Yennefer sailed into the room in a swirl of black skirts and said, "Right. Listen up. I am Yennefer of Vengerberg, and this is--sweet Melitele, what is this? 'Coping with the Non-Modern World.' Right. I am going to assume that none of you are from the present, or a world that mostly resembles the one we currently find ourselves in. If you are, and you're planning to move to some hellhole without indoor plumbing in the future: don't. Problem solved.
"First we're going to do introductions, so I know what I'm dealing with," and so she didn't actually have to teach anything for as long as possible. "I am Yennefer of Vengerberg. I hail from the Continent, which is not Europe but what we call the one continent of my world. We're a very creative folk. My homeworld is stuck in, I would say, roughly your Earth Middle Ages, with magic. It's dirty, it's brutal, they've never heard of a vaccine and they're very racist against elves. Apple juice is a luxury good and no one has ever heard of chocolate. It's horrid. I currently live in France. But perhaps 'simply don't go back there' is not an option for you. Perhaps you like your family or something." Couldn't relate. "I don't know. Tell me about it."
