[For Parker, Parker (Not a Typo), and Illyana] Bothering Ms. Rasputin

[st_opsummoningme]

It wasn't precisely that Illyana could not or would not provide mentorship. She'd been instructed by enough of the X-men that she had seen it done. She had willingly collaborated, and on occasion, even encouraged. She knew what it felt like to bond with a team or an individual, and the greater accomplishments to be had as a result. (Things were progressing Acceptably with Corbie.)

But there was a certain rather enthusiastic type of student that generally required more patience than she was inclined to practice. Piotr found them inspiring. Kitty found them amusing. Illyana did not find them, generally speaking. They found her.

Such was the case with Peter's unscheduled delivery, after which she placed a succinct call to inform Parker that he ought to meet with her in the library at once if he intended to discuss the book he needed to return. She would also be available to instruct him on the correct donation procedure.

The other Parker, as it happened, was an entirely coincidental arrival.

Re-do Apologies (Closed to Pike) - Backdated to March 2nd

[st_illsinging]

After helping Vax and his girlfriend who most definitely wasn't Keyleth, Scanlan took only the morning of the next day to figure out life before the Gnome Bard went off looking for Pike. He understood now that everyone from Vox Machina - and yes, he'd have to go find everyone else at some point - were from a different time than him. Zahra, of all people, had come to his door in the middle of the night to see how he was doing and to inform him and after talking, he realized he was from the farthest in the future. Vax had no idea he was going to die.

Scanlan tried not to dwell on that too much or on the heaviness it placed on his chest as he walked up to where he was told Pike was staying. He exhaled and knocked on the door, his hand moving up to play absentmindedly with the Sarenrae symbol he carried with him.
