    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Brisa gave a dry smile. "Be as blunt as you like. I won't take offence." She kept pace with Zeraora, one paw swinging freely, the digits on the other rubbing against each other in contemplation. "I've been sayin' goodbyes and resolvin' loose ends. I never kept many possessions here, but almost...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Despite Luz's initial misgivings about Zeraora's corruption, she had proved capable of handling it, perhaps better even than many of Diyem's posse. Brisa couldn't help but be relieved that there remained folks on Cibus who could defend it against any future threats. Diyem and his family, the...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Strange to think, but evidently true. "I can't show you the whole damn planet, but I can show you parts of it I find special," offered Brisa. "And if y'want a scrap, that can be arranged too." She grinned. "Speakin' of scraps, I never got the chance to say this before... Thanks fer yer help...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Brisa took zeraora form for this encounter. It seemed appropriate. While Zeraora might subsist on nothing, Brisa's satchel had victuals and such, so she wasn't worried. And yet Zeraora was, somehow. Luz' account and Brisa's own experience had been of a self-possessed, independent demigod. And...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa coughed blood and made hacking sounds of laughter as she pulled herself to all fours, then rose up on her knees. 'Yield' indeed. What a hell of a fight. And their meltdown strategy had paid off as intended. Brilliant. Utterly fucking brilliant. "Closest one yet?" she called. "Whaddaya...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Whatever their commander had planned . . . Brisa trusted in him for it to be worth it. Win or lose, she'd fight – and fight to win, at that. No matter how battered her body felt, Brisa Escarpa was still born ready for fights like this. "You know I ain't the type to call it early, Diyem!" she...

    Destiny Colosseum

    She was getting . . . tired. Diyem was giving them the fight of their goddamn lives and then some. Every limb felt like so much pulverised muscle tissue and shattered bone, even as Blacklight energy stitched her back together and sealed her wounds. Do yer job, ranger. You can rest when this...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Nevermind Inan, Astrid was cute as hell. Love her. But there was a fight to win, and Brisa intended to see it through, no matter how broken and bruised she felt. "Welcome to Cibus, kid," she drawled, wiping blood from her brow. "Why don'tcha show us what ya got?" Brisa let up her paws, and –...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa didn't waste breath on words while she had striking to do. Diyem was a ponderous opponent when harried by the right techniques, and if she was lucky, and attracted less attention than Astrid's characteristic leap towards the void, she'd cling to consciousness a little longer. One shield...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa grunted with defiant, stubborn resolve as the hammer came crashing down. Motherfucker was stronger than ever. "Thank us after we kick yer ass, Chief," she snarled. "No matter how hard you hit me, I ain't goin' down afore I hit you harder'n that." Blacklighting crackled around her body...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa stared down Diyem, bared her teeth, and felt her hackles shiver. This was a more daunting challenge in some ways than they'd ever faced as a trio. She honestly didn't know if they could expect to win. But she'd fight anyway, 'cause that was what she did. "You'll see us at our best...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa chuckled drily. Soon enough, they would be. But for now? "Seeya round, friend. Take care." <><><><><>

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "I dearly wish fer that," said Brisa, without irony. "And I wish also fer you to find whatever peace an' contendedness fits ya best, Bahamut. Thanks fer yer time. And fer yours, Nero."

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "No surprises there." Brisa smiled to herself. It felt damn good to not still be fucking stewing about those feelings, and it was nice to get to break the news to someone who didn't know. "I'll miss her," she said, the words unbidden. "I might not remember, but I'll still miss her."

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa laughed. "Fessed up t'her and Astrid. Astrid and I are stayin' friends. I'm more'n happy with that. And... I've been with Starr fer a while already. No intentional publicity, but there's nothin' t'be done about Pansit, so it's pretty much public knowledge. Fer, uh, quite some number of...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "I can appreciate that notion," replied Brisa. "And I'll take that advice. Things have a way of turnin' out to be significant; it's on us to recognise and pay mind to that significance." With a long breath, she committed the thought to memory for later contemplation. "Thanks fer humourin' my...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa gave another quadrupedal shrug. "Cause and effect, if nothin' else. Owen tells me we all got destinies to meet in our home worlds, and that's what a Hero's Aura pertains to. I dunno if I believe in predetermined futures, but if there's somethin' brewin' back home and I've a part to play in...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa snorted. "I would. Talk about unprecedented events. I could rib Diyem about her beatin' his record." A certain tension passed from her body with the exchange of humour. Man, she'd really been missing out. They just didn't have good jokes in Frontier Town, huh? Or in the Clan. Wild. "It's...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa shrugged. "I guess? I'd assumed we were present there as projections of our spirits, not physically present. Interestin'." It was . . . odd, to hear Bahamut laugh. It prompted a light chuckle in her, more from surprise than his little joke. "Well, I'm glad you're open to a Cibusean...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "Y'mean to say that we'll return to Veritas City, in the Voidlands, afore we finally get sent back?" It . . . made a weird kind of sense. Not what she'd expected, but... Alright. ...What would it be like saying goodbye to those of them that had human true forms? Starr and Dave... "In any...
