    Destiny Colosseum ~ Stands

    It's not easy, not being able to choose. You use that strength for good, though. Something tightened in her throat and behind her eyes, and she didn't say anything for a moment, nor take a breath. She didn't want the kid to think he'd said the wrong thing, though... She could fix that. She put...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Stands

    "Yeah." Here she went again, telling the story. She'd be telling it a little differently this time, being a little different herself since she last told it. "My pa, Jesse, became a red delphox in my world. He was summoned by our Voice of Life to save the world, and he did, and I guess that...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Stands

    Bit awkward to have left it this late to mention, but there was nothing for it. Brisa nodded. "Mountain luxio, takin' after my luxray ma. I was born a shinx, much like any other. But my pa is like you an' Dave and whoever. A former human. And I inherited somethin' of his soul an' power from him."

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Stands

    It sure felt natural. And yet it didn't feel... No, that was something to discuss with Fugu in a session, for sure. "You'll probably end up usin' it under sufficient pressure," mused Brisa. "It's downright ordinary fer 'mon to develop new powers an' abilities in a crisis or emergency, even...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Stands

    Brisa tilted her head and smirked, just a little. Just for a second. "Gonna give it a go?" Right. Cool. Sick. She was really leaving an impression on this kid, huh? Maybe that was okay. "I reckon we can all do it," she said, more seriously. "Seems like it's gonna happen in most or all of the...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Stands

    Brisa chuckled nervously. She had done that, huh... She was... She was gonna have to figure that one out. Maybe in therapy. "Sure seems like it's somethin' the whole team can do now, if they dig deep enough. Ever since that transformation Diyem did. I guess I just..." "I guess it's just a...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Stands

    Brisa's face was still gently beaming from her celebratory meal with her best friends, , but it lit up further as Koa rushed toward her. Of course the kid had watched her match. Damn near everyone would've seen that. Kinda thrilling to think... "Sure fuckin' did, partner," she drawled...

    Water Continent ~ Lively Town

    "Hm." Brisa took one last moment to enjoy the warm water, with eyes closed. Gods, but these were strange times, and stranger moments with members of Diyem's mismatched posse. "Well, I'll seeya there when the time comes, Mellow. Take care, now." She got no reply. Perhaps Mellow was just . . ...

    Water Continent ~ Lively Town

    Brisa had heard how Cal, Nate, Vix, Echo, and Mellow had confronted Maple with their various concerns. She wasn't interested in getting into that right now, though. What good would it even do? "I gather Nate tried persuadin' her to stay clear, and Vix tried provin' she had corruption in her...

    Water Continent ~ Lively Town

    Brisa sighed softly and stretched out her forepaws in the water. Maybe every struggle wasn't worth persisting with. But persistence was just too much of who she was. "Y'know, Mellow, nobody's actually been able to explain to me what positive difference it would've made if any of y'all knew Soda...

    Water Continent ~ Lively Town

    Brisa settled down a comfortable distance from Mellow, forepaws just barely dipping into the hot springs. The warmth was pleasant on her pads. "I've already talked t'most folks as took issue with how the lure plan at the Tree was conducted. Explained myself, made assurance of no hard feelings...

    Water Continent ~ Lively Town

    "Well, sure. But I'm here t'have a word with you, hence my askin'. I'll leave ya be if'n y'ain't got patience fer me, Mellow." Brisa smiled back, an expression as dry as dust. Mellow wasn't exactly hard to read.

    Group Communication

    Help yerself t'whatever's mine from the fridge. I'll be home when I can. Next priority fer the team after this Maple mission oughta be to go after Soda. If he's anythin' like any of the folks fulla Blacklight we've faced to date, he'll need to have it battled outta him. Question is if we can do...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Training Facility

    "Mm. Thanks." Brisa dried herself off as best she could. Although it was tempting to transform just to burn off the moisture, as it were, the act felt somehow disrespectful. To herself? A strange notion. "Strange technique," she remarked. "Effective, though. Or seems it fer now. Appreciate it...

    Water Continent ~ Lively Town

    Brisa had quite the trip, tracking down Mellow. She'd learned her general condition from Owen, made the journey to the resort largely on foot, and had some back and forth with the spa receptionist before she learned where to find the florizard. By the time she entered the springs, she didn't...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa smiled and gave up trying to persuade Toffee for the time being. If it was as simple as explaining that she went berserk, someone would have managed that by now. Instead, she gave a small greeting to Truffle and let him take Toffee's company, before leaving the Colosseum herself with...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa helped Toffee to her feet, and supported her weight as much as she could. The bird was just large, though, and heavy with metal. "Toffee, I'm awful flattered, but y'should know, y'nearly took me out. Pushed me to my darn limits, darlin'." Brisa chuckled. How did Toffee really have no idea?

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa sank to her knees and let the plasma wash over her, restoring her, slowly. She rested. She focused away the residual Blacklight. It seemed like damn near every fight lately had her winning while one hit from passing out. But she did win. She approached Toffee with caution, not entirely...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Toffee's next assault would be her strongest yet, and she'd shaken off her paralysis, too... There was no surviving another offensive from the corviknight. Maybe if she put everything she had into bracing herself... Nah. Let's do this. Brisa took sharp, shallow breaths as she ran from the...

    Destiny Colosseum

    There was no way this was all Toffee had to bring to bear. Better not get cocky. Brisa paced herself, expecting another, worse assault...
