    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    Lugia's warning put a thrill in Brisa's blood. How strong was she, uncorrupted and facing off against a mere three mortals? "It'd be a privilege and a pleasure to battle you, win or lose," said Brisa, sparks crackling in her mane. "But I'll do my utmost to win. Even if I gotta dig deep and go...

    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    Brisa grinned. Tenacity in the face of defeat, joining with your opponents to get stronger? Best way to deal with life. "You know, I'm goin' up against Team Drumstick in the Colosseum right soon. I gather they're not as strong as they were, but I'm sure it'll be quite a fight! And now I find...

    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    Decades, huh? A whole mortal lifespan, potentially. "If he only trains with you, you'll always have an edge over him," offered Brisa. "He oughta take some more challengers in the colosseum. Although, by now there're a few in the posse who might have it in 'em to take him on, I expect. We're a...

    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    "Pop? I'd believe it. That fella is a thoughtful, considerate sort t'be sure. I like him more'n well enough." Brisa was half expecting to generate some offense. Laughter was a more pleasant surprise still. Felt kinda good, getting that kind of response from a 'mon like this. She thought of what...

    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    Brisa chuckled slightly. "Y'don't strike me as one to rely on anyone but yerself, no." It felt fucking weird relating to a god and finding herself wanting to give advice that she herself was barely able to take. What the hell would Lugia think of her? But things were going fine so far. And they...

    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    Brisa made a sympathetic grimace. "Sounds like my former life. Never a day off, and responsibility fer folks' safety ended with me. 'Course, someone else could take over, nothin' stoppin' that but fer that I never felt like I could force the issue. Even the weeks without incident were no less...

    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    Brisa tried picturing the 'mon in front of her as an aggron – it wasn't so hard, actually. Serious, stoic, and tough as nails. Her personality matched the species' reputation. "You talk about the change t'come in terms of yer duty to the world," said Brisa, carefully, conscious of herself...

    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    Brisa considered that. Details of lives long-passed being lost to the powers of recollection seemed to be a recurring problem for ancients like Lugia. What did that do to a person? Was it something the Wandering Light could speak of...? "Making an entirely new life does sound daunting,"...

    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    Brisa responded with a wry grin. "My original body is unsightly-powerful, but I ain't exactly celebrated fer strength back home. I dunno about fear. Maybe . . . resent, is the right word. I resent that I gotta look forward t'that. I wanna do what I'm good at fer the sake of those as I can help...

    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    Brisa sat down as well, and the Radiance faded. Her every follicle stung, but the tension from before had left her. Worthwhile, all things considered. And that was, in a way, a compliment from a Legend that she'd just received. She smiled a little at that. "Y'have my word that I'll do my utmost...

    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    Brisa didn't dispell the energy within and around her just yet. Who knew if Lugia would keep testing her? "Thank you, ma'am," she said, taking a neutral stance that could work for attentive listening while also permitting quick response to further strikes. "Though I weren't expectin' t'be set...

    Mystery Continent ~ Southern Beach

    What the fuck— Radiance came without conscious thought, her unfiltered intent to survive overriding everything else. She tried to dodge, too, of course, but the golden shield around her couldn't hurt. Though this technique sure hurts, don't it? Especially when you use it alone. But who was...

    Threadmarks: R13 – Brisa & Lugia

    The pebble beach was a good place to brood. If you wanted to keep away from things for a bit, avoid half the team, get some time alone... Hard to go wrong with a forbidding location like this. Plus there were often storms. If Brisa ever really needed to let loose, she could probably duel one...

    Mystery Continent ~ Northern Pines

    Brisa nodded, grinning. "Yeah, s'fuckin' cold out here, ain't it." She turned to head off, looking back over her shoulder at her friend – Astrid, her friend – as she came along too. "I'm sorry too," she said, softly. "But if it ain't okay now, it's gonna be okay real soon." She really did...

    Mystery Continent ~ Northern Pines

    "I don't plan on givin' up on you," said Brisa, her spoken words matching the Radiance-soaked feelings passing along her whiplash. "Of course I wanna see you at yer best. I've never believed that detonin' with light is the most y'can do. You're far more remarkable than that." Brisa closed the...

    Mystery Continent ~ Northern Pines

    Whiplash was mostly unilateral. It conveyed Brisa's feelings, Brisa's thoughts, to her target. But there was always a little backwash in there too... An insight into the heart she was opening herself to. And right now that strange intuition told her that Astrid was, more than anything, scared...

    Mystery Continent ~ Northern Pines

    Brisa had been ready to try, desperately, to speak on Astrid's pain, on her strength, on her belonging. Then, that question. Other thoughts fell, with the snow, into blankness. ...So, Astrid had heard her. And perhaps having heard it had been a reason, in part, for all this. Or at least it had...

    Mystery Continent ~ Northern Pines

    Brisa swallowed hard. So this was about the dying. One way or another. "This is no way t'spend yer days, temporary circumstance or not," she said, feeling like she was treading on ice, both figurative and actual. "We don't know how much time we got left, and we oughtn’t to waste it. And...

    Mystery Continent ~ Northern Pines

    Brisa sucked cold air through her teeth. She knew Astrid had become reclusive to the team in general, but this...? "Yer havin' memory problems?" she asked, the anger vanished from her voice. "Or like . . . hallucinations? What kinda shit d'you mean?" Astrid didn't seem all there as she stared...

    Mystery Continent ~ Northern Pines

    Brisa followed Astrid's gaze. The training was working, evidently. "Well you're sure makin' a success of yer self-detonin' stratagem," she drawled. "What I don't understand is why y'got such a need to escape. Before th'fight with Joule, I thought things were pretty damn good. Was lookin'...
