Starr whirled around with a snarl, shadows clinging to her claws, her fangs, her mind. "It doesn't MATTER what I want because Brisa's GONE and we don't know if she's coming back and it's our fucking JOB to take him down and that hasn't changed." She was the one trying her damndest to help...

The words made her pause. For a single, agonizing moment that lasted forever, Starr felt like her head was splitting apart. Brisa believed in her. Brisa. Brisa was-- And look where that belief got her. The sky had exploded again. Bits of starfire rained down all around them. Starr stood...

They were gone. That bone-chilling realization took several seconds to fully sink into Starr's brain, and those seconds lasted an eternity. Some of the survivors had grouped together near her. There was a vine curled around her, holding her tight, but it barely registered. Cynthian, Cabot...

Another explosive blast sent Joule reeling. He retaliated with a reflected burst of icy chill, but it didn't matter. Like anything could slow her down now. She didn't have to hold back. She didn't have to be something she wasn't. She didn't owe anyone shit. Cynthian... If she wants to be...

A raging inferno collided with the dragon of light above them, and a Torracat stood at the heart of it. This was power. She'd made the source of Radiance himself flinch. There wasn't any reason to hold back. There wasn't any reason to feel bad about dishing out pain, not when it was...

"Yeah? Don't tell me you actually wanna watch it again?" Starr asked, stifling a laugh. "I can't get over how bad that acting was, and the leads were total idiots and I swear they could have avoided the entire plot if they'd just had a fucking conversation." But Brisa was in tears and Starr...

Starr clapped a paw to her face. "Oh my god." This girl needed to live. Also how the hell was Starr supposed to explain it... "Uhh, they have like, theaters where you're from, right? With actors on stage?" When Brisa nodded, Starr went on: "Right, it's like that except recorded with a camera...

Well, that answered that, then. Starr nodded decisively and stood up from her seat. "Cool, then you need to do something for fun that takes zero effort. We're gonna go watch a shitty movie."

Starr put a paw to her forehead. "Right, of course." Goddammit why'd she have to be right. But at least on the plus side, Brisa wasn't trying to deny it. She took a deep breath and asked, "Is there anything that will literally catch fire in the next two hours if you're not there?"

"Yeah, no," Starr said flatly, taking a long sip from her drink. "I already did my training for the day. And I know you did too, you were practicing up until the tournament." But of course Brisa would probably try to act like that was totally fine. Nothing wrong at all with burning herself...

Brisa wasn't a very good liar. Starr rested her chin on the back of her paw, mulling over her nest response. She finally settled on: "What'd you say you were planning on doing next?"

"Uh huh..." Starr nodded distantly. 'Just working hard.' Sure. There were a dozen different things Starr wanted to say, but Brisa looked like she'd probably fall apart in response to half of them. So Starr just settled on casually asking, "You gonna have enough energy for the mission?"

Starr let out a snort. "Yeah, no shit, of course they're worn out. C'mon, sit your ass down." She pushed her plate of fried rice toward Brisa so she could take some.

Starr glanced up from her food at the sound of Brisa's voice. "Oh hey. Yeah, it was pretty awesome, right?" she said with a grin. Man, she really hadn't seen Brisa since the tournament, had she? They'd even managed to miss each other's training times. And... as usual, Brisa looked about...

Back in the reverse world again. Oh joy. There wasn't much time for nostalgia though. Not when the whole team had to pull together to keep Joule from getting a chance to fire off the meteors that would tear through them all in an instant. "Got it!" Starr called back. The moment the petal...

"Can't believe I'm saying this, but your shade's got a point. Although I guess I can't be too mad at anything done in the interest of pissing off Giovanni." Starr shouldered her bag once more and nodded to the two. "I'll see you around."

Starr smirked. "Funny you should say that, cause hitting things really hard was something my team was damn good at." And now it was something she could do herself. Man, what she wouldn't give to show her team the kind of crazy firepower she could do here. They'd probably be jealous, too...
