    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa eyed Truffle, trying to see a path that ended with the old bird getting his head screwed on a bit more tightly, and not only a respected friend who she'd gravely wounded. "Did anyone confer that 'duty' on you, or didja determine it fer yerself?" she asked, levelly.

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa closed her eyes a moment, biting back the acid comment that had come to mind first. "I can't say I agree with all that, partner," she growled, softly. "It weren't an all-or-nothin' fight, it was a casual sportin' battle. Weren't appropriate fer you t'risk yer health like that." She felt...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa tried to smile, though she couldn't help chewing her cheek. "No hard feelings, then? I keep thinkin' I shoulda trusted the stats screen an' quit attackin'. I..." Damnit, she'd been stupid. The Colo's instruments weren't always accurate, sure. It seemed like every other fight, someone got...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa had spent the intervening time sitting in quiet anxiety with Luz and Icetales until they would be permitted visitation. She didn't text anyone. She didn't talk. She waited. Now that she saw him, immersed in reading and not at all d– ...Not how she'd expected, her heart calmed a little...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa tried not to show alarm in front of the crowd. It wouldn't do. "Kyukon. Bow t'the crowd and calmly take yer leave. We're gonna go find Truffle in the Colo's infirmary. Y'got it?" Brisa padded over Leg, who was anxiously stitching together her disguise. Brisa extended a paw, not to shake...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Seven strikes. That's how many lightning flash-step blows she could deliver, at her current level of fatigue. Truffle still thought he could win, but if she fought for real, she could fucking kill him. Damn it, should she refuse to fight? Would he even stop fighting if she did? Truffle's eyes...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa tensed up, a pit in her stomach. Beside her, Icetales still gave voice to eterna-empowered exhortations and encouragement, to which her body yet keenly responded. "C'mon, Truffle, give it up! I ain't fuckin' smack-talkin', cut it out already!" Maybe if she broke that disguise for good...

    Two New Moderators!

    Hey, congratulations to you both! You're both a credit to the community, as I'm sure you'll continue to be.

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa narrowed her eyes and grit her teeth. Truffle... Truffle had to yield if he was past his limits, right? And he had to be by now. C'mon. She'd hit him hard enough already. "Truffle, it's a sporting match, not a goddamn fight t'the red end," she growled. But the fight continued. Stubborn...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Truffle muttered to himself, troubled by something Brisa's sharp ears couldn't quite detect. Perhaps it would only come to light after the battle, perhaps it was something she could address now. In any case, she had an opportunity, and she intended to take it. Gods, she was tired. Fucking wards...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Quite the defensive network. Nothing she couldn't break through with a little effort. And since she'd got a sense of how tough Truffle really was, Brisa could afford to hold back just a little longer... "C'mon, try'n keep up with me!" she cried, mostly for the sake of the crowd's hype. "If you...

    Destiny Colosseum

    So, this was how Truffle fought? Brisa specialised in striking for critical damage in the blink of an eye, but his guard was too sophisticated even for her eye, and extended over the entire team. She'd have to wear him down to open up an opportunity. And to even get that opportunity, she'd need...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa blew a long breath and crouched into a running start. Something told her this moment wasn't just a bit of fun for her opponent after all. Perhaps she'd find out exactly what soon enough, but in the meantime, she had to be on her game. "You got it," she drawled, before racing off in a...

    Threadmarks: Epilogue ~ "The Final Radiant Fight?? Break a Leg, Heroes of Cibus!!"

    Brisa practically jogged onto the field, raising her zeraora-form's arms to the usual cheers. The tone was a little different now, so soon after the fight with the Blacklight Eternal. Post-combat exhaustion was endemic in Destiny Village, and people wanted something lower-key. Well, a casual...

    Grass Continent ~ Treasure Town Beach

    "Too fuckin' right," murmured Brisa, leaning into the hug. The two of them together were tough enough to take on gods. With Astrid, Owen, and a dozen other fantastic goddamn fighters beside them? They could take on anything. And there was no-one she'd rather have beside her for this fight...

    Destiny Village ~ Sundae Park

    Brisa chuckled. "I am a keeper of the peace back home. A ranger. Not an official one, though, and..." Why not? She could be a real ranger. Hell, a regional marshal. If she could fight the Eternal Blacklight and win, getting a goddamn badge was small potatoes, right? "Y'know what," she said...

    Grass Continent ~ Treasure Town Beach

    "Yer the best fuckin' influence I've ever had," said Brisa, her smile wider than ever. "Nobody I'd rather have at my side when we fight that amalgamated motherfucker fer the final time."

    Grass Continent ~ Treasure Town Beach

    Brisa felt half the tension in her body leave just from Starr's paw on hers. This always was Starr's way. Make a joke of it, threaten to kick ass, still manage to show she cared. Brisa wished she could make her lover understand how much it meant to hear stuff like that. She smiled, and leaned...

    Grass Continent ~ Treasure Town Beach

    Brisa exchanged a look with her obsidian double. Be honest. Okay. "I think without my memories of Cibus, the 'me' I'm goin' back to bein'... She'd want it bad, if she could just convince herself she was halfway worthy of Ascent. The 'me' right here'n now ain't so sure, though, 'cause... I like...

    Grass Continent ~ Treasure Town Beach

    Brisa purred contentedly at Starr's ribbing. It had been a long damn time since those memories had troubled her. Wild how things turned out. "Well... If nothin' here makes it back with me, I surely would," she replied, evenly enough. "But I've been thinkin' a lot about that, lately, an' I...
