Who: Yvette Moore, Steve Royama, Armitage Hux, Illya Kuryakin
When: Current
Where: A Japanese lunch spot near Steve's tea shop
What: Yvette's pretty sure the new guy's not exactly from a safe society, or working in an ethical group. Newcomers though, deserve a meal and some safety though, and a chance to pick their choices. Still, she grew up in Lorena, and she's not walking in this alone.
Rating/Warnings: Casual discussion of Nazis / people who are victims, Casual Space racism you’d associate with The First Order/Empire in general, Hux is NOT a nice guy and he’s been drinking the kool-aid since he was about five, according to the comics backstory, so... Spoilers for the new trilogy, and especially Rise Of Skywalker. Mild Spoiler for Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Notes: Steve speaks the truth about ice-brewing Genmaicha. It works for most regular greens, but seriously children. DO NOT ICE BREW GENMAICHA. Which is sad because regular iced genmaicha is nice when it’s hot. And...digression. Onto the space nazis.
Status: Complete

The lunch spot does lunch specials and rice bowls, but it's comfortable and Yvette knows the owners.

Look, she grew up in Lorena. She knew how to keep herself safe.

( He says, Oh, baby girl, don't get cut on my edges / I'm the king of everything and oh, my tongue is a weapon )

Who: Yvette Moore, Jennifer Scott
When: Currentish, before December 4th
Where: Gatehouse, Craigcrook Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland
What: Yvette got asked by Balthier to try talking to a fellow traveller through worlds who might not be comfortable with men. Since the Vaels have two relatives and Morgan, and the castle's semi-private, it seems like a good option.
Rating/Warnings: Jennifer's coming out of a rough situation. Mild implications about trafficking / courtesan work. Yvette mentions her work with at risk children. Casual talk about women's safety.

( I keep a close watch on this heart of mine / I keep my eyes wide open all the time / I keep the ends out for the tie that binds / Because you're mine, I walk the line )
