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

    Brisa rolled her eyes dramatically. "Combat sport an' talkin' 'bout feelings are the best goddamn things there are. What's wrong with you?" She smiled at Dave and sank back into the couch with a sigh. She was gonna miss him too. Him and all his bullshit. "You should talk to Fugu about what you...

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

    "Still haven't picked up a taste fer recreational fightin', have ya?" commented Brisa, marvelling that the guy somehow made it through every damn fight the team had been in, and a couple Colo matches at that, despite having less of a battleheart than practically anybody. "Don't worry, I'm done...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Brisa nodded in agreement. "Fella's alright with me," she said, definitively. "Doubt the Arceus of my world is as pleasant, if they're still around. Ha, as if I'd be so lucky." She coughed, awkwardly. "Don't mean t'sound corny, but... We were only doin' our jobs. I'm just glad he's stickin'...

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

    "Somethin' like that, usually. This one time I just attacked her fuckin' immediately. I was havin' a shit day, didn't wanna talk, went at it. The battle got me to open up about my shit without overthinkin' it. Worked out." Brisa cocked her head. "She use her Mesprit gift? Give you a reflection...

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

    "Don't tell me y'got everythin' worth talkin' 'bout sorted in a single session," drawled Brisa, trying to lighten the mood a little. "Remind me, what did you end up goin' over last time?"

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

    Only one? Good grief. "Dave, I'll pay if it gets you to go." Gods, please don't fight me on this. Every chance for some emotional breakthrough is a chance things will be better for you back home. But you'll just talk about how you'll write it all off as a dream or whatever. Goddamnit. Brisa...

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

    Brisa nodded sceptically. "Uhuh." When had Dave ever been fine? She leant on him at times, yes, but she wasn't stupid. She was familiar with Shadow. She knew well enough. "How's therapy?" she asked, pointedly. "You're still with Fugu, last I heard."

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

    "Sounds good. Just so long as you have a good time too. I..." I worry about you. I care about you. I love you. "I want you to be happy fer at least part of the final stretch, y'know?"

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

    Brisa waved a paw vaguely. "I dunno, so long as it's not some impenetrable drama I don't got the cultural understandin' fer, or a shitty thriller with terrible fuckin' fight scenes, I'm good. I, uh." Her ears flushed a bit. "I like romances, but I don't much wanna watch those with paternal...

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

    Brisa's eyes brightened sharply. "Y'like movies? I like movies. We don't have anythin' like those back home. You guys with more developed homeworlds sure are lucky." She wanted to do whatever, so long as Dave would cheer the fuck up a bit. "We could do that. And... If you promise to keep to a...

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

    Brisa shrugged and waved a paw. "Make room," she told him, as she put his coffee down in front of him. She switched to zeraora form to take up less space on the couch. Who gave a damn, right? "I'm enjoyin' myself, mostly. Lotta time battlin', lotta time with Starr and the best of my friends...

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

    "Yeah, that tracks. I see her a lot in the Colo trainin' grounds. I think she likes me 'cause I just fight her, and I'm fine with that, so we haven't talked much. I know better'n to try on sentimentality with the lass." She finished up the coffee, and wondered if getting hammered together would...

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

    "Sure. I got to beat up like fifty motherfuckers, and they paid me fer it, and I gave the proceeds to redevelopment charities. It was fuckin' superb." She closed the door behind her, and breezed through the living space, figuring Dave might be responsive to coffee. Coffee, coffee, coffee... No...

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

    Brisa headed home from her latest casual match in good spirits. She was doing a charity drive by taking sponsored challenges from casual competitors under various restrictions, as a way to stay active and work towards a good cause without going stir crazy while Diyem prepared for the end. Her...

    Offscreen Activities

    Luz shares a pleasant afternoon eating icecream and window-shopping with Drake, and has such a good time she offers to make it a regular hangout. She sweet-talks a vendor into letting them both have samples of every flavour. She thinks her favourite is honeycomb. Brisa accepts the sparring...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Brisa recalled the starry plains of Spirit's Edge. A strange fate. But perhaps . . . not so dreadful as one might fear? "My idea of peace involves keepin' plenty active," agreed Brisa. "I need purpose t'keep me breathin'." In the alpine air, each breath was cool and sweet, but already the thin...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Scary or intimidating. So there was the admission – that Zeraora had anxieties of her own. Cibus had shown Brisa time and time again that even the gods were people, with hearts and minds, but this confession from a zeraora . . . hit her more sharply. And then, a moment later, it became a...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Brisa's throat tightened for a moment, and she dug a claw into her palm, wishing, wanting to be that aspirant, wanting to stay, wanting this to be her world, her home, her responsibility. But she had to go. Soon. It would not be her. The moment passed. The two kept climbing the mountain...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Brisa pawed her chin. "The Blacklight might be volatile, but it ain't too different in kind than Divinity. I'd feel reassured knowin' a cadre of responsible Blacklight Wielders were lookin' out fer my adoptive homeworld once the posse are gone." Brisa looked sidelong at Zeraora. "Wait, what did...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Brisa shrugged. "Don't matter none too much to me whether I'm remembered generations from now. I'm satisfied to have been happy and served the public. And I mean that." She swallowed, brow furrowing. "It is like death, I guess. I don't think of it that way fer myself, but as y'say, folks here...
