Shephard has been taking two different kinds of lessons here at Milliways. The first set has been the more abstract set, namely, learning the parts of sailing a ship that aren't "Don't steer it into the rocks". This has been far more complicated than he would like to admit and he has generally been grumpy after these lessons through no fault of Bumi's.

Well, maybe through some fault of Bumi's. The man does occasionally like to mess with Shephard's head.

Anyway, that's lesson group one. That is not what Shephard is dealing with today. Today Shephard is going with practice material for lesson group two, namely, How To Properly Use Pointy Things. It's never sat well with Shephard that the Marines have a sword as part of their dress uniforms and only ever really get trained to use it ceremonially. If you have a weapon you should know how best to kill people with it, otherwise it's just an inconvenience, is his way of thinking.

(Shephard has never claimed to be a particularly reassuring sort of fellow.)

Bumi may or may not be here for lessons and practice today. Shephard doesn't know. He's just taking his sword out back for some of the basic forms practice at the moment, somewhere he won't be surrounded by recruits or Resistance people or eyeball dogs. If you want a look, you're welcome to it.

Note

[redintheledger]

This is not happening now.

Well, it is, for one definition of 'now'. The other involves this happening a month ago. Wibbly-wobely-timey-wimey, as it were.

...

After this conversation, Romanoff walks towards the Bar, a folded note in her hand.

"Please pass this along to Fury," she says, in quiet Romanian, and then back towards their world she goes.

She does not get paid enough to deal with co-dependent baby scientists, or going against her boss - Fury can deal with it.

This has been a windy and rainy one, which Demeter doesn't like. She keeps staying in one place longer than she means to but her hosts don't want her walking out on her own.

When she enters Milliways, her shawl is up over her head and has a net of raindrops on it and there's mud on her feet. She heads towards the counter to order some wine and bread before moving to the fire where she curls up.

This family worries her, they immigrated from Greece but their life hasn't been much better due to the troubles in Europe. Though she can help the land and help in other ways, its not making as much of a difference as she wants it to.

As with most nights, Autor's working late in the library. He reverently opens the cover of a crumbling book and traces his fingers down the vellum. Using a ratio of ink in a seven-to-three ratio of blue to black and a quill with the feather of a white swan who has been in the sea, he lifts the handwritten words to a parchment of his own.

Approach quietly.

Multi-pup

[shufti]

"Right." Shufti is saying to Vyvyan, as she hands him a large package. "In here are seven shirts, seven pairs of socks, seven pairs of underpants, and three pairs of trousers."

"What for?" Vyv asks, peering in the bag suspiciously.

"Because your body odour is giving me pregnancy nausea." Shufti says. "Now, when you get here, you go to your room and you have a shower and put on clean clothes."

"I haven't got a room."

"You have now." Shufti hands him a key.

Vyvyan stares at the key. Nobody's ever trusted him to his own room without at least taking a deposit.

"You realise as soon as I change scene without concentrating I'll go back to being smelly." he says.

"Well concentrate then." Shufti says, firmly. "Now, this is a deodorant. You are to put this on and not sniff it or set it on fire. If the Oompa Loompas will not help you with your laundry I will. Got it?"

Vyvyan, not sure what to make of this sudden attention to his personal hygiene, nods in a vaguely hypnotised manner.

"Right, go and get changed." Shufti says.

She settles down at the bar with a cup of decaf tea.

About ten minutes later, Vyvyan slouches back downstairs, looking very suspicious of his strange shirt. It's like someone made it all flat somehow, and it smells all... soapy.

Dr. Hannibal Lecter is having tea today, by the fireplace, with very nice home-made lebkuchen on a plate with the tea.

Judging from spare cups, and the number of lebkuchen on his plate, Dr. Lecter is quite likely to share."

Mulan - OOM

[OOM: Back in the Enchanted Forest, Mulan spins a tale over two nights (the first night is of her past and the second of her sword) and Little John proves quite annoying. No spoilers for either Once Upon A Time shows.]

If Claudia didn't know better, she'd say Joshua's avoiding anything and everyone since he got back from Minneapolis the other day (and it doesn't help that HG's off on a case). But she's trying to give him his space, and until tomorrow night to get over himself.
Which means, in an effort to avoid stress-hacking the FBI again - since that went so well last time - she's spent an hour chasing that goddamn scarab, and now she's in the bar, catching up on her case report backlog.
