    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa allowed herself a small, dry grin. "Uhuh. Been hopin' the things I've come to believe in my time here will feel intuitive to my sleepin' self when she wakes from this 'dream'. And... I can't lie, if all it takes fer a person to keep their grip on their experiences here is sufficient...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa peeled away a little from the bear hug she'd been giving Starr to look quizzically at Starr's alt-timeline counterpart. "Huh? You an' Red goin' worldhoppin' again t'gether or somethin'?"

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa nodded, and considered calling Sombra to the conversation, just because her Shadow would speak more freely and save her the effort of pushing through a heavy topic. But she'd rather handle this as herself. Passing the buck to her Shadow felt like cheating, somehow. "If we take that model...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa wet her lips, wondering what she meant to say, and how to say it. She'd come to this room for a reason, after all. Shadows nestled in the creases of her mind and in the midst of her fur. "I'm about to lose most of what I've cared about most," she said, sounding hatefully small, so...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Not a comfortable topic, evidently, although an interesting one no doubt. "And in those lifetimes, have you experienced yer share of loss?" she continued, feeling a little hollow.

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    A dorky Bahamut? Hard to picture, but it brought a small, dry smile to her mouth anyway. "Well, you seem like a fella who don't mind interminable private pursuits," she remarked. "I'm sure you'll do just fine." She eyed Nero, thinking. His partner . . . was a necrozma, was that what he was...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "Best of luck t'ya. Got a timeframe fer yer success, or does it remain t'be seen how long it might take?" Galaxies, huh? Strange to think, but perhaps the universe that housed Cibus was one with countless other worlds beyond the stars, much as the universe of Bahamut's Etherium. And what of...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "Hmm." Brisa pawed her chin as she watched. In a duelling context, Bahamut had techniques that had never seen prominent use in mass combat. He'd be an interesting opponent to fight, if he ever showed the inclination. Although, judging by the kind of persistent personalities that got him to do...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    The mission was over, but training continued. Training for no fight but the one in her head and heart; training to keep her cool in the face of losing so much, so soon. Brisa hit harder than usual, trying to sustain some kind of injury she could nurse instead of the thoughts in her head, but no...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa nodded, and said nothing more, but for a tiny shimmering thread of Radiance that let her tell Truffle, you are loved; you are needed – don't forget. And with that, she gave Maple a dry smile and a dip of the head, and put her paw on Icetales' withers to steady herself as they left. Luz...

    Offscreen Activities

    Brisa checks in with Owen for advice on her final Colosseum big-name matches. She's familiar by now with examples of the fighting styles in use by Diyem, Ho-oh, and Team Gyros, but more insight is always appreciated. Would an aggressive, no-guard offence prove more viable against the reigning...

    Destiny Colosseum

    The final moments of the fight were a mixture of sharply-rising panic, anger, and grim assurance that if there was a damn thing to be done, Starr would do it. Brisa couldn't take off at a run as intended with the crowd so agitated, but she could jump from seat cushion to railing and downwards...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa sighed, relief pouring off her with a small shudder. Thank fuck for that. "Good man," she muttered. "Try not t'scare folks like that again, y'hear? There's still a good deal of good left fer you to do in yer life." She reached out a paw and placed it on his wing. "After all, you're a...

    Destiny Colosseum

    From the stands, Brisa and Luz watched with avid attention, and discussed the flow of the match in their private telepathic link. Naturally, they did not join in the whoops and cheers for Giovanni, but anyone could feel the energy in the stadium. As Astrid went down, Brisa grinned with...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    "What of yer daughter?" asked Luz, earnestly. "She needs you." Brisa winced. "Y'should speak to a therapist, fella. They got good ones here. Real gold standard professionals. Just let... Let folks help you."

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa took some moments to come to terms with what Maple had said. Salt and sand and spite... It was too grim to countenance. Fucked up. Wrong. But how to get the old bird to think differently, when he was so lost in it...? The duty to live is greater'n the duty to die, said a familiar voice, a...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa's face soured, and she averted it from Truffle to hide her expression. Luz filled the silence. "I think we're all interpretin' that correctly. Truffle... You shouldn't've accepted the challenge without makin' yer opponents aware of those terms. Yer own ideals may be what they may, but it...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    "It matters t'me," pressed Brisa. "An' I'd rather hear it from you." She padded a little closer and sat on her haunches. "Tell me what the hell I saw out there, fella."

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    "The will of a warrior," Brisa repeated. "What does that mean, exactly? You talkin' 'bout havin' a battleheart, or somethin' else? You practically seemed..." Like Toffee, she thought. Though with a cheerful disposition and a defensive style, this was the second time she'd fought an insane bird...

    "You gotta retire, man," said Brisa, her heart heavier than lead.
