Oh, Miyagi wasn't her sensei at the Facility; there are no icy mountain lakes on Omega. She studied under Miyagi elsewhere, a long time later, and when they parted he was still very much alive.

I think that's actually a font problem - italics lean to the right, and sometimes the kerning is wrong and the tilt sort of steps on the trailing space. I use Firefox myself and don't see it happening in this particular document, but I've seen the kind of thing you're describing before.

Jubilee covers it well here, but in general she finds Victor deeply unnerving, on account of he looks exactly like a guy she used to spend an annoyingly high proportion of her time avoiding getting murdered by.

Bottle Service was actually a couple of weekends before; the trigger (mentioned in the story) was the New Avalon Knights winning the World Series. It is not a given that Laura and Jubilee are destined for an equally gala evening at the end of Weapon of Choice, though, to be fair about it, chances are they're not going to spend the evening at the New Avalon Museum of Modern Art either. :)

It's slightly sad that the two stories didn't happen in the other order, if only because then Bottle Service would have gone down exactly the same - except that when the Black Hoods broke open the door at the end, everyone in the room would have discovered (with varying degrees of surprise) that Laura had been there all along, completely buried down at the far corner of the bed, and that she does not appreciate being awakened by kicked-open doors. Jubilee and Paige might not even have had to get up.

It would have skewed the bottle count considerably, though, and after what would've ended up happening to the carpet, they totes would have lost their room deposit.
