    Destiny Tower

    Brisa held the restrained whiplash in place, shedding Vix's shadow at the rate it built up. There'd be no shadowing on her watch. "Have ya asked Diyem why y'ain't the way ya expect t'be? Maybe that's yer next step, once you've taken a goddamn break. Ask fer help. You'll get it, if ya only ask."

    Destiny Tower

    Still connected by the whiplash tethers, Vix would feel Brisa's emotions rock and sway, from sympathy, to confusion, to mixed sorrow and embarrassment. "I ain't all that," murmured Brisa. "But it's a fine thing t'hear ya say so." She drew closer to Vix, still burning the shadows away with...

    Destiny Tower

    The tethers held, sparking where they met Vix's shadow, doing no serious damage, though she might wince at the burn. "Yeah," said Brisa. "Fer sure. Ain't you always wanted to be a hero? T'be strong, and fer folks to admire and respect that strength, 'cause you use it t'protect others? And...

    Destiny Tower

    Brisa was used to the idea that her own power was what gave her value. Vix, though...? Brisa had never wanted Vix's companionship for the sake of strength. If anything, it was that earnest appreciation of strength other than her own that made Vix good company. 'Actual' friends? What even was...

    Destiny Tower

    "It ain't gonna happen again!" insisted Brisa. "Get ahold of yerself, Vix. Isolation from anyone as cares about ya ain't no way to be!" She cast her gaze about, wondering if there was anyone who could come to her aid in time. Luz, maybe? I need you. ...No response. Fuck. "Vix, I need ya...

    Destiny Tower

    Vix was wrong, she was fucking wrong, damnit, this was just some shadowing bullshit. Her insecurities fucking with her good sense and reason. But it'd be an uphill struggle, persuading a badly shadowed Spectrum fighter to feel some other way. Fight or flight kicked in. Brisa chose to fight...

    Destiny Tower

    Well, there was the time her father ripped a memory out of her head when he came between her and her only friend, someone she could've loved. That same friend, who never had the guts to so much as write a letter afterwards. Her mother had left her to make her way in life alone before she was...

    Destiny Tower

    Brisa sighed. No agreeing to disagree, then? Okay. "It ain't like that. I got no experience of seein' zoroark any kinda way, they ain't around my part of my world fer anyone t'be suspicious of 'em. Hell, I gave him the benefit of the doubt fer exactly that reason long after I woulda gone to...

    Destiny Tower

    Not a great start. "I don't much like leavin' things other'n right between us," she said, tail drooping even as her shoulders held stiff. "I know we weren't seein' eye to eye in there, but I believe you got good intentions, and I sorely hope you see th'same is true of me."

    Destiny Tower

    Brisa hauled Astrid back to her permanent residence in the infirmary and prowled out of the guild. She wandered a little, lost in her own head, until she found Destiny Tower. Vix was there, haunting the brickwork, apparently. Perhaps it was an opportunity to talk. Vix was her friend after all...

    I've been callin' y'all my siblings this whole time anyhow!

    "I reckon I'm about done here," muttered Luz to herself, as she took herself away. Being a person just got more complicated by the day, apparently.

    Brisa didn't raise me. All my memories of bein' a kid are of bein' Jesse's and Sierra's kid. If who I am is stuff from Brisa's head, then we're more like sisters than anythin' else. Plus the mechanics of it ain't got nothin' t'do with biological parenthood, like Dave says. All seems daft t'me...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa bounded over to Sword and Shield, her paws light on the ground. "Y'can't say y'didn't have it comin', darlin'," she drawled. "Thanks fer a fantastic fuckin' match." She listened to Sword describe her new relationship with corruption and drew a sharp breath . . . followed by a long...

    Destiny Colosseum

    "I don't think so," panted Brisa, smirking. Bless Sword's heart, but there was nothing like bringing a finishing blow down on a premature sore winner. "Really, partner? C'mon now." Fighting like this... Brisa lived for it. Fighting with a worthy foe, someone she cared about, growing to...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa's hackles went up as the transformation kicked in . . . but was this really Darkwhite's corruption returned? Or just another of Sword's games? It didn't bear thinking through or panicking about. Her goal was no different at all: Battle her friend; have fun. She wouldn't let a stunt like...

    Destiny Colosseum

    So, Shield was giving instruction, was he? Without his advice, winning this battle would probably be a sure lock. Figured. Perhaps that was the other power of human-pokémon bonds. Sword staggered under the continued onslaught. Brisa saw an opening, and her lips pulled back as she scented the...

    Yeah, this... This ain't a revelation I'm too surprised by, but it's still fuckin' wild t'fit in my head all th'same.

    "Oh, y'better believe I won't give up!" taunted Brisa. "No matter how many impressive moves y'got!"

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Main Lobby

    Gods above and below sky, that... That could mean— "Changes nothin' that matters," mumbled Luz. "There are still ways my core could shatter if it came to it." Except it did change something. Sooner or later, she'd face whatever the next stage of this egg business was coming. Once, she'd have...
