    Pokémon The Quest for the Legends

    Howdy, Free! Time to churn out a bunch of chapter commentary for that final Blacklight logging rush. I know you've appreciated my liveblogging on vc and such, but I hope this'll be entertaining in text form. Off we go~ Introduction / Prologue I like how you've filled up much of the opening to...

    Grass Continent ~ Treasure Town Beach

    Brisa's ears flushed, but she elbowed Starr back and grinned. "'Course I'm into her. She's as badass as we are. Why aren't you into her, huh?" Try as she might, she couldn't wipe the dumb grin off her face. Gods, she never felt as relaxed as when she was around Starr, no matter how her partner...

    Grass Continent ~ Treasure Town Beach

    "Fuck yeah it is," drawled Brisa, happily. "Ain't had nearly enough of this all year, an' I spent most of what downtime I got pushin' myself, anyhow." She huffed, and twitched her whiskers in thought. "It really was an exhibition, huh. Makes y'see yer interactions with those Miracle folks in a...

    Threadmarks: R17 ~ Bristarr Hit the Beach

    Sprawled out on a beach towel, eyes closed, tail flicking contentedly, time seemed to pass her by. She'd spent so much time in DV's wintry chill, she'd forgotten the pleasure of being casually warm. Gods it felt good to relax. Especially after having ten kinds of shit kicked out of her in front...

    Null Realm ~ Blacklight Eternity

    Brisa braced herself, bright plasma flickering across her zeraora form. "We're on," she called. "Form up, set up, don't hesitate!" The team was better-honed than ever, and they had allies on the field, too. Good ones. Brisa didn't have a bond with Ionys or Xernatus, but people she cared about...

    Null Realm ~ Blacklight Eternity

    Brisa eyed a familiar scene of misery from her own not-so-distant past. That was herself with Starr, as shinx and litten, in that pit... So, the Eternal Blacklight really did people its private realm with suffering after all. Not just suffering, but... Sufferin' without meaning. Sufferin'...

    Null Realm ~ Blacklight Eternity

    Brisa's steps related little to any actual surface. Her paws made contact with crackling energy, not a solid surface. Her experimentation with defying gravity gave her some small help in coming to terms with the effect it had on the mind and body, but hell, if wasn't even the weirdest thing to...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Zeraora of the Outworlds. In a flash, Brisa imagined herself travelling as God Squad and Eien once had, and Joule still might, a zeraora of many worlds. But for now, she was ground-bound, with a pressing duty to attend to. She shook Zeraora's paw firmly, grinning with satisfaction. For her own...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Not quite a knockout, but a technical victory was just as good in a clash like this. And goddamn, what a battle. "Yer a real storm-with-claws," remarked Brisa, steadying her breath from the exertion of the final exchange. "That's the kind of goddamn battle I live fer. You get it. You fight like...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Brisa came out of her combat trance with a sharp roar of satisfaction. Zeraora's intent was to strike hard, Brisa could feel it in her just as plain as if there were Whiplash cords connecting them. She could probably survive a full-on onslaught – she'd tuned her aura to survive a lot – but that...

    Destiny Tower

    "Well, we've done all we can, chief." Brisa looked around at the gathered throngs. Her eyes met the eyes of certain others. So many brave souls, so many loved ones. Had it really been nearly a year? She'd spent so long in their precious company... And now that time together was coming to a...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Zeraora's adeptness with the Blacklight was extaordinary. Her speed, her disposition – this was exactly how Brisa sought to fight. She'd have to draw on Shadows to survive more attacks like that. She dug deep. What do you fear becomin', ranger? What d'you hope fer? To be like her...? Enough...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Brisa rolled her neck, cracked her knuckles, breathed deep and felt the Blacklight flow and ebb around, within, and between them. This duel would be something else, win or lose. It was right that it should take place here. Plasma bloomed over Brisa's body, a lightless fire embracing her, to...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Brisa didn't answer instantly. A request from a Legend should be considered. Its implications given due thought. Zeraora's species, at least in this world, was a regional guardian. Had her specialism confined her to Amp Plains, at least without surrendering a good portion of her power? Indeed...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    An explanation so simple, Brisa had overlooked it. Not so great a mystery after all. "I hope that's true," she said, honestly. "As dangerous as the Blacklight is, it's all that's preserved this world of late." Luck and skill, huh? "How did you come by yer ascension, Zeraora?" asked Brisa...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Diyem, sapping corruption from the more psychologically vulnerable member of the party? Brisa nodded, and gave a tiny, dry huff of amusement. "I suspect you're right. There's a disparity between our clearer-headed fighters and the more troubled, yet they somehow get by." Zeraora truly was fully...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Brisa bowed her head a moment. Cibus was not ruled by its Legends, but respect wouldn't go amiss. Given Zeraora's apparent personality, perhaps brevity would also be best. She had that same terseness common in the Escarpa. Like Ma. "No other 'mon of Cibus, not even a Legend, has touched the...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Huh. A random strike, or a show of force? Well, Brisa had fought gods before. She'd keep her shit together. "I want to better understand what is is to be a zeraora, and to better understand myself," answered Brisa. "The Blacklight has shown me that there's still a call inside me that draws me...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Luz' description of Zeraora had been accurate, but it hadn't explained everything that Brisa now felt about her. There was power, judgement, independence in that voice. There must be a spartan personality beneath that reverberation, to control the Blacklight while remaining lucid. Brisa had the...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Brisa remained with Koa a little while longer. Not much passed in the way of conversation. They shared a long moment in the storm, allowing themselves respite from their daily duties to grieve their imminent parting. It helped. Or at least, Brisa felt that it did. Either way, they deserved it...
