Luz turned from spectating the fight to spectating the bickering between Cal and Puddle. They were like kids, weren't they? Was that because Owen and Vix had some parental feelings in their heads? They were so alike herself and yet so different. Fascinating! "Hey, it's been swell spendin' a...

Ah. Sarcasm. Perhaps she'd chosen the wrong tack. This was about not putting up a fight for Starr and Nip, as if winning a doubles duel against two of their best strikers was what counted for worth. She thumped the table and stared him hard in the eye. "Listen t'me, Ninetales Kyukon," she...

Starr hit her with the force of a speeding train, and Brisa struck back with all she had. The two of them... They were just pure energy, their bodies just a convenient vehicle for their blazing power, meeting in a perfect elemental fury. They'd give the crowd something to remember, that much was...

Brisa took a seat at Icetales' table as the fox began to speak, and listened earnestly. Her ears flattened and her tail drooped as she did. More of this self-deprecation, huh? It seemed half the posse were down on themselves at all times. She'd have to fight that. Icetales more than pulled his...

It had been a fine job, and Brisa was practically flying from the post-battle high, but Icetales was transparently groundbound. Something was the matter, and not just the generic malaise of too many things on the mind. "Well, thank ye kindly, partner," she said, politely. He liked politeness...

Brisa went to the cauldron for some respite from the day's tasks, as she often did. This time she was intending only to stop for one drink. Then back to the dorms for an early night. The tournament had taken it out of her, and she needed to catch up on rest. She wasn't expecting to see Icetales...

Perfect! Well, Astrid seemed a lot more into the idea than Starr did, but Brisa knew not to take Starr at face value. Even if the arcades were a bad idea, there were plenty other ways to spend time together. She couldn't wait! Although, of course, she'd have to. There was no way she could...

"Hey, that's mighty fine t'hear," said Brisa, already vividly imagining going toe to toe with her friends. They were both so strong. No matter who won, it'd be a fight to remember. Hopefully she got to fight both of them before she was eliminated. Maybe she'd get to fight both at once–! She...

Something wasn't quite right, but perhaps Brisa was missing some context. Or they were just real dinged about by the fight, or by the doomsday hanging overhead. It'd be more than fair. Still, at least they both admitted the final blow against Giovanni was a good one! "Fer sure we can pull...

Brisa returned the grin. Damn right, Starr went down fighting. Gods, she was so strong. All this was worth it just to get to fight by her side. There was something off about Starr's smile, though... Oh. Yeah, that... "Astrid. It's okay." Brisa gave her friend a tired smile. It was a long...

Luz laughed to herself at the ongoing bickering. Ultra shades were so interesting, so much fun! It'd be good to get to know these two better, maybe hang out as a group with their hosts, have some friendly competition... Wait! "Say, you two," she called, clapping each of them on the back. "I...

Brisa gasped for air, exhausted after keeping up a ferocious pace of attacks to get through so many shield barriers and wear down her opponents' evasiveness. It sure had been one of the toughest fights of her life—the sort of fight she'd never get back home. The sort she was born for. Fighting...

Brisa had a mission. Speak with as many of the team as possible over the next few days, and get them in the best condition possible for the fight with Joule. She'd train them, motivate them, and coordinate them as best she could. She could handle it. For something this important, she would...

Luz nodded, and made a mental note to get the four of them together in a room to do something fun. Maybe battle! Although, Team Lightning would probably wipe the floor with Team Gloop. Something to think about. Luz shrugged expansively, and put an arm around her new friend. "We're all plenty...

Well, wasn't that a pleasant surprise? Brisa smiled at her friend, certain that she'd make good on their mutual scarcity in due time. Just as soon as things were less hectic. Once they beat Joule. "Well, it'd be my pleasure to share one with ya when we're done with our pal Joule up there. Maybe...

Yeah, it was definitely the right play not to push him too hard right now. That was okay. He had a good umbral move, and he'd reach for his shine when it counted, when there was real need. If he really didn't like radiance at all, he probably wouldn't like alcohol either, but . . . it was worth...

'Poorly', huh? Maybe Celeste's reservedness was a cover that'd get stripped away by radiance. Maybe he just felt uncomfortable without clarity of mind. After all, shadows brought out a . . . harsh side of him, from time to time. If he went blacklight, perhaps he'd veer even wilder? "If it...

"What, you're worried about explodin'? Or . . . what it'll reveal about ya?" Most folks were more worried about their shadows than their radiance. Then again, if you had a lot of inhibition that got stripped away by radiance it would be like being drunk... Brisa thought back to her first...

"Is now a good time?"

"Hey, no problem, partner. Just eager to get everyone at their best fer our toughest throwdown yet." Come to think of it, Brisa had no idea what Celeste's improved radiant move was. Had he even used one? "You figured out yer Shining move yet?"
