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

    "Spa, huh? Sounds fantastic. I've never been to a spa," said Brisa, her voice turning ever so slightly wistful. "Never was an option before, never occurred to me to take the time out fer it here." She looked at Starr, at her satisfied, enthusiastic grin, and felt her chest swell at the thought...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Training Facility

    Brisa steeled herself, even as her heart sank. She had never meant to hurt him, goddamnit. "I'm tellin' you now," she said, trying to keep her agitation out of her voice. "It's why I brought you here. So that if the reason fer it was somethin' that'd mess you up, you wouldn't have to process it...

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

    Brisa rested her head on one paw, and thought about that for a second. Starr couldn't be used to having any kind of celebration for an occasion like this, given her past. Neither had Brisa, given her own. And Cibus was nothing if not extraordinary in its hospitality... "If you could do...

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

    Brisa's brows went up with surprise. "Huh. Y'know, I think I realised after a couple weeks here that the calendar was different an' gave up keepin' track. I oughta figure out how long 'til I hit twenty-one. So, uh... how old are you turnin', partner?" Brisa had fuck-all experience buying or...

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

    Brisa nodded, pawing the back of her head self-consciously. "Yeah, even after months on Cibus, things have mever been calm enough fer folks to get a real handle on stable relationships, it sure seems. I couldn't help but get my hopes up about a gal or two, but..." She looked away, muzzle askew...

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

    For a moment, Brisa remembered the isolation and aversion to such bonds Bone had described, before she'd come to terms with being a pokémon. Jesse, Thyme... It seemed so common for humans to have difficulty adjusting to the idea of love-partnership with 'mon. What was the relationship between...

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

    Brisa had barely been expecting an actual answer, so she listened carefully, nodding. Starr liked gals too? That was good. Why was it good? Brisa blinked away the stray thought and met Starr's casually expectant face with a more even expression. "I'd wondered about that, awhile back," she...

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

    "Maybe I will!" Brisa retorted, uselessly. But Starr's laughter and the physical touch were relaxing her too much to be genuinely annoyed. Her face emerged from her paws and she sheepishly looked to the side. "I actually check sometimes before a fight, just in case. So you might even be right...

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

    "...huh? Lugia? Yeah, she's single." Brisa's brain caught up with her mouth a second too late, and processed Starr's devilish grin with utter horror. "W-wait, I—" Brisa's ears went into meltdown, and she covered her face, half expecting her burning cheeks would set fire to the couch...

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

    "Thank you," moaned Brisa, face pressed against the couch. "It's just one more setback makin' me wonder if people actually like an' respect me, though. If they're so prepared to get this fuckin' mad at me fer that shit. Had enough on my mind already about findin' a date." Starr was making one...

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

    Brisa stared at Starr, eyes widening, before grabbing the couch cushion beside her, pressing her face into it, and letting out a long, low, tortured yowl. "Exactly fuckin' that!" she wailed. "Starr, that's practic'ly word fer word what I said to Cynthian? It's like they're all off their...

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

    Brisa groaned through clenched teeth. Where to begin? Most recent development, maybe. "Just finished havin' it out with Cynthian 'fore I came home," she said. "Gal came up to me while I was burnin' anger in the Park to demand I explain myself, again, 'bout why I could possible countenance not...

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

    Brisa chuckled sheepishly. "Well, it's a good time fer me. Fightin' with no real stakes, bein' celebrated fer it. And I need the chance to blow off that much steam, what with how things are right now. You oughta be glad you skipped the last team meetin'. It was a fuckin' shitshow." She scowled...

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

    Brisa felt half the tension in her evaporate and smiled to herself. Would've come over anyway. She didn't have to feel bad about asking at all. Also, she'd brought food... Candied fruits. Popcorn. Honeycomb. Gods yes, thank you Starr. "You're just straight up savin' my life today, huh," she...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Training Facility

    Brisa nodded, and limbered up, anticipating a good fight soon enough. "I know what y'mean. I feel it too. There's this potential, just waiting fer the right push. It's like . . . a yearnin', inside..." Maybe it would come out now. Maybe not til later. But if it was what it would take them to...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Training Facility

    Brisa nodded. "That's about what I'd been expectin'. That ability... Meringue had it too. Multiscale. He had a way of reactivatin' it one time only. I wouldn't be surprised if she could do the same or better." She'd studied Lugia's demonstration of weather-mastery. It sure had seemed as if it...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Training Facility

    Brisa grinned. "Well, I got challenges accepted from Truffle and Flesh, but no word from Cabot about availability in his schedule. So, ah. I'm up 'gainst Lugia pretty soon. Then after her, Team Drumstick. Then who knows what next? Our visit to Zekrom had me itchin' t'challenge her, too." She...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Training Facility

    "Followin' up on some things," replied Brisa. "Our recent chat with Zekrom left me wonderin' that y'might have more steam to let off than y'can let off alone, or purely by trainin'. Though it'd be good to get some serious trainin' in. Got some high level Colosseum opponents comin' up in my...

    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    Brisa beamed, and closed her eyes to savour the moment. This unexpected meeting was something she hadn't realised she'd needed. And now she had the perfect opponent for Starr and Astrid to join her against... "I want nothin' short of yer full splendour, ma'am," she said, firmly. "Anythin'...

    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    Brisa bore Lugia's demonstration with stoic determination, focused on measuring the power on display, and paid as close attention as she could to Lugia's technique, watching to see if this were a suite of moves on display or some idiosyncratic ability she'd developed. Even as she analysed, even...
