    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Despite her breath catching, and her golden bands gleaming softly in the gloom in anticipation of making a connection, of soothing Koa, Brisa let it happen, let her friend have this moment of catharsis. His Shadow changed, much as hers had, its chains dissipating rather than fragmenting. She...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Just be . . . angry? Well, she already had anger enough, and it wasn't like it would help... And yet. "Y'know what?" said Brisa, a grin inching onto her face, "fuck it, why not?" She drew a sharp breath, and when thunder next struck, she threw her head back as Koa had done, and made that same...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Brisa looked at Koa with mixed feelings. He had the look of someone who was about to go petition gods on her behalf. Kinda felt good to have a friend so firmly in her corner like that. "I 'ppreciate that, Koa. Nothin' much t'be done about it, though." Damn, but the stormclouds were a good fit...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    "Betcha can fuckin' guess how I feel, kid," she replied, with a sardonic jauntiness. "Give up all the healthy relationships I've ever had an' a shinin' career doin' what I love, t'go back to livin' on my own workin' a thankless job fer people what distrust me on sight? Don't take much genius to...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Brisa's smile was dry as dust, thinking of just how fucking gruelling their final challenge may yet be, but it was a little easier to believe they could secure a victory. "You just keep showin' up to trainin', Koa," she chided, gently. "Ain't much longer now... Every hour counts."

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Brisa shook her head, but her smile was rueful. "I dunno. I love a good clean fight, and that... That weren't it. I'm fine with puttin' on a show, sparrin', experimentin', whatever, but the thing that gets me is that they trash-talked us, snooped on our battle records, an' went outta their way...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    Brisa nodded, and blew air through her nose in heavy acknowledgement. "You do what you can. Reposition yerself. Use a fallback technique. Recover yer stamina. Use yer items. Have y'seen the budget we've got fer this one? 'S'fuckin' princely, is what it is." She bit her lip. That wasn't quite...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    "I've been damn near knocked outta fights before now 'cause of shit like that, though never quite so bad." Brisa pursed her mouth. Koa was taking it hard. Why was he so reluctant to admit that? At least he was. "Be reasonable with yerself, at least. You were immobilised, but most everyone was...

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    "It don't have to be all that matters," Brisa replied, evenly. "You could be mad about it if'n y'wanted. Or even just that trick they pulled at the end there on you. I'm just sayin', it'd be fair enough if you felt hoodwinked an' bushwhacked an' whatever."

    Grass Continent ~ Amp Plains

    The silence between them that lasted through the loudest part of the storm, where tree cover was thinnest, gave Brisa time to think. She'd already contemplated much of late. The Blacklight, the coming end, her own feelings on the Miracle fight... Koa would have his own feelings, and she wasn't...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Flesh, a guzzlord, was one of those ultradimensional beings that grew stronger with each felled opponent. Sprout and his display screens called it 'Beast Boost'. There was no chance Brisa could survive this onslaught. Starr, maybe. But if Brisa wasn't around for Flesh to get the boost... The...

    Destiny Colosseum

    The big guy didn't even want to fight. Man... But he obviously had something coming for them, and they had to deal with him one way or another. But Starr could barely move, and it was taking every ounce of concentration to keep the shadows at bay. She had to rest. Just a little bit...

    Destiny Colosseum

    She could hardly tell what was best, what was needed. A stray thought – try to stagger him, throw him off his game? Okay. More hits, don't go for the soft points. Her head hurt like hell, by wind and by weather. Goddamn...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa yowled under her breath at the sheer disarray she had to somehow muddle through. All her tactical preparations were fucking moot in conditions like these. All her focus, all her inner fire, and the best she could hope for was that she wouldn't hit the foe so hard she careened into...

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

    "You will," said Brisa, with total confidence. "Are you kiddin'? After knowin' yer counterpart fer a year, and seein' how yer teammates think of you, I got the feelin' you'll have friends and allies wherever you go." She really did believe that completely. And believing it so hard... That made...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa hyped herself up with rapid, angry breaths. Hyperventilation could act as a mild painkiller, and this was gonna hurt. Goddamn. She filled her limbs with energy, and made a dash towards Soda.

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

    Brisa beamed at Owen. Hard to tell if she was warming so fast to the guy because despite reminding herself constantly that he wasn't the same individual charizard she knew and loved, she still thought of him as her best friend on some level . . . or because different timeline and experiences...

    Destiny Colosseum

    The world was a blur. Where were the enemy? She couldn't get her bearings. Her skull split open at the thought of using a status move. Her limbs rebelled. Her friends, were they okay? What was the plan? Fuck, fuck, she needed to keep her head, needed to concentrate... She heard Dave shouting to...

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

    "I do my best, but it's not like I got the experience or skills fer that kinda thing," mused Brisa. "I get people into the trainin' grounds all I can, give instruction, an' so on. And I tried t'get folks to attend therapy, but I don't recall havin' much luck there. I see the need, though, and...

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

    Brisa nodded along, listening carefully, tailtip tracing patterns on the furniture. "Sounds like we have at least a thing or two in common, I guess," she conceded. "Fella had a word or two t'say to me 'bout his predicament of bein' on this Cibus, neither one self nor the other. If he's an...
