    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa skewed her mouth and nodded grimly. "Yeah, I... I started thinkin' that, privately. That maybe after I got back home, the best thing would be to stop wantin' to be around people. Cibus' Legendary guardians are psychologically capable of that, an' there's even a zeraora on this world who's...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "You're like me in that regard too, huh? No matter how much grief folks give me, it feels like I'm always givin' out extra chances. I, uh... I wouldn't have the friends and lover that I do now if that weren't true, so I guess I'm doin' somethin' right, there." She grinned. "I reckon if you stop...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "Sure fuckin' hope so," replied Brisa, forcing a dry grin. "So long as the memories don't all come floodin' back at some awful time. Would hate to vividly recall Starr all of a sudden in the middle of layin' with some gal back home." She hoped that using humour to cover pain would be something...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa scoffed at the flirtatious joking, and blew Aria a sarcastic kiss in reply, then her expression softened as Aria gave a more serious reason for being here. "Honestly, I'm fine," she replied, evenly. "Yeah, that other gal I'm goin' back to bein', Luxio Brisa Escarpa... She's got a hell of...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa gave Aria a measured, dry, slightly concerned look. "Gotcha. I'd be cautious too, with that much weight on me." It was an unpleasant thought, and in an attempt to dispel it, she launched a casual punch that sent another of the dummies flying. Flash-step over. Punch again. Step back, catch...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa tilted her head. "Sure. We got somethin' like it. You're gonna tell me there's some kinda 'type advantage' thing in yer world as relates to divine power?"

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa blew air from her nose and skewed her mouth. "The only stakes as interest you are so high? Or is that a reflection of power scalin' in yer homeworld? All the strong motherfuckers are too strong?" She drummed her claws on a dummy and thought for a moment about how Owen had described his...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "Oh yeah? How's that?" Brisa raised a brow at this. They'd had such a great sparring match, and from what little she'd heard during their intense (if banter-filled) training sessions between the Miracle fight and the assault on the Blacklight, Aria's culture didn't have the same taboos and...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "Yeah, I keep petitionin' to fight Pop, but he don't seem none too keen, so I guess I can chalk that up as a surrender," joked Brisa. "Honestly, if y'told me ya had a way fer me to stay here, just kickin' ass professionally at the Colo, I'd take it." It'd hurt like hell to lose the rest of the...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa's face broke into a smile at her new friend's quip. She turned and padded over, slow-blinking amiably. "Aria. Good t'see ya. No fan meetups, that stuff ain't really my style. Just said g'bye to my last remainin' combat student. Been doin' final assessments fer those as've been with me a...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Brisa soaked in the view from the top of the world. She could touch the heavens. She could see the curvature of the planet. She could pass out, if she wasn't careful. "This is one of a dozen spots I shortlisted," she admitted. "But y'said y'wanted to see the world, and with only time fer one...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Brisa, Dave, Koa, and Owen

    "Sounds good," said Brisa, almost as if nothing had happened. Maybe her voice cracked a little, but she kept going, mundane as you like. "Let's have a look at the showtimes and see what's on." She gave Dave's shoulder a firm, brief squeeze as she got up from the sofa and went to get her satchel...

    Threadmarks: Epilogue ~ Punchy Gal Career Trajectories

    There. That was the last one. Her final student's final lesson. It had been so ordinary, she'd almost forgotten the significance of the event while she drilled the kid on proper breath regulation while using priority moves. Her last lesson was just a Quick Attack practice. Mundane as it got. She...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Brisa, Dave, Koa, and Owen

    She knew how Shadows worked. How much of this was there, held back, locked away? Brisa maintained the hug, just kept her arms tightly around Dave, just let the Radiance gently hum and glow. It's okay. You can let it happen. I won't say a word after, if you don't want me to. It's sad that our...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Brisa, Dave, Koa, and Owen

    Brisa chuckled, and in an impulse of affection – and happiness at Dave actually grinning for once – leaned over and got the mightyena in a bear hug. A flicker of Radiance sprung from her pawpads. I love you, Dad.

    Rocky Road ~ House of Brisa, Dave, Koa, and Owen

    Brisa smiled. "No idea what Fugu'd say 'bout all that, but I fer one feel fuckin' inspired." She shrugged. "Me only likin' gals is spitin' a bunch of infinitely complex arrangements of self-replicatin' particles. I like that."

    Rocky Road ~ House of Brisa, Dave, Koa, and Owen

    Brisa chuckled. "Maybe a shrinkin' population is better fer the long term survivability of life, if perpetuation matters more'n propagation. Wouldn't wanna grow yer numbers past what the world can tolerate." It was like a game, almost. But she should concede the cosmic joke, at least. "I get...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Brisa allowed herself to be a little smug, having been a mountain-climber since she was a kitten and kept up the habit while on Cibus, if at times only by means of Guild HQ staircases. But she didn't let on. It would be ungracious. "You're more'n welcome. It meant a lot t'me that you fought me...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Brisa, Dave, Koa, and Owen

    Brisa listened along, following the general meaning if not the particulars. Molecules, she understood, were microscopic particles from which matter was composed. The idea that their replication was a microcosm of mundane reproduction was intuitive enough. And despite magic and souls absolutely...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Brisa, Dave, Koa, and Owen

    Brisa nodded. Genetics had come up in their first ever interaction. She'd first heard of the concept from... Well, from her pa. Huh. "Tell me a li'l somethin' 'bout genetics, why don't you? Can't promise I'll follow everythin', but I like seein' you genuinely fuckin' interested in somethin'."
