    Tree of Life ~ Interior

    Brisa grit her teeth. There it was. Maple wasn't much of a dissembler. "Can't tell if he's playin' up an angle or he's genuinely twisted his own accountin' fer what happened," she muttered.

    Tree of Life ~ Interior

    Brisa padded along beside Dave, listening in on his exchange with Maple. More than most of the team, Brisa wanted to believe in Maple's integrity and good intentions. Still, it would be negligent to shy away from uncomfortable possibilities. She could only hope that Maple could account for...

    Announcement & Discussion

    Part Two: Player-side Efforts Don't worry. This one's shorter~ 1. What are 'Calcs' Anyway? In this post, I refer to 'information' and to calculations or 'calcs'. What is meant by this is the process of figuring out, based on the actions chosen for a unit by their player, how much stamina they...

    Good. I'm here. See you soon. I'm glad you're okay. After her afternoon taking tea with Bone, Brisa waits anxiously at home for Dave to return with news of Soda's possible confession.

    Air Continent ~ Bone's Abode

    "Well, that's one more thing I'm lookin' forward to," answered Brisa, with a smile of her own. It was the strangest thing. By the time she left, she didn't feel tired at all. <><><><><>

    Air Continent ~ Bone's Abode

    Well, wasn't that fascinating. She really ought to follow up on that some more. Too many things to keep track of... "Supposedly, yeah. Even some of my team have names that're strange to me, or to each other. Icetales' real name is 'Kyukon', which is just noises to me. Meanwhile, Starr's name is...

    Air Continent ~ Bone's Abode

    Brisa nodded, only very slightly bashful. Yeah, she liked her battles. "Thanks," she replied, her tail perking up involuntarily. "It'd be a privilege. I wouldn't say no t'fightin' Tender as well if Starr and I can find an interested third. Or maybe by then we'll be strong enough t'take y'all on...

    Air Continent ~ Bone's Abode

    Brisa's mouth pulled inexorably upward at that. Oh, yes. She liked this one. "Sounds pretty good t'me," she said, warmly. "I could see my way to a life like that after 'hero' work runs me through enough times. Though I doubt I'll ever give up battlin'. Ah, d'you get in much fightin' these days...

    Air Continent ~ Bone's Abode

    Brisa's attention held, and here and there she smiled behind her tea or furrowed her brow slightly. There was something reassuring about the way Bone could speak of such things so placidly. She described a life that sounded so similar to Jesse's in several ways, and yet she'd turned out...

    Air Continent ~ Bone's Abode

    Bone talked about her decision in terms of how it affected others. Even though . . . it was such an intensely personal choice. Brisa wondered if the feeling she had now was the one other people got when she talked about her duty. "Y'know, my father used t'talk about havin' been a delphox...

    Air Continent ~ Bone's Abode

    Brisa's expression tightened a little, but she listened carefully, nodded slowly, sipped her tea. "I'm expectin' t'be in a similar situation myself. I never heard from my father how it happened fer him, but after learnin' that summoned humans on Cibus and other worlds routinely stick around...

    Air Continent ~ Bone's Abode

    Brisa blinked, deliberately, and there the children were, visible through the walls. Bless. They were lucky, to be born on a world like this. To have a future like they did. "Strange to think," remarked Brisa, quietly. "When Diyem first brought our spirits to his Voidlands to recruit us, I had...

    Air Continent ~ Bone's Abode

    "Thank you kindly, ma'am," said Brisa, with a polite nod. She entered, accepted the tea, and poured some for herself and for Bone, after a querying glance. "If'n you prefer, I go by Brisket in this world fer folks as find it more natural-soundin'," she added. "Though I'm surprised y'remember...

    Threadmarks: R12 – Brisa & Bone

    Just as Brisa had begun to feel truly strong, not weighed down by duty . . . here she was, deathly tired once again. It's not yer fault. Things are outta yer paws right now. Best to do somethin' y'can actually handle, let the problem sit a moment. Yeah. That sounded good – or, it didn't...

    Rocky Road ~ Home of Sword, Shield, Cynthian, and Skara

    Oh? Well, wasn't that real cute. Brisa smiled again to see Sword caring about someone's wellbeing so openly, after months of Darkwhite bullshit. "It was nice seein' you two," she drawled, languidly getting to her feet. "Good luck with th'rest of yer recovery, Shield. And feel free to shoot me a...

    Threadmarks: R12 – Pansit interviews Brisket

    Q: "Oh! You must be Brisket! I've seen a lot about your fights! Congratulations on your fight against Puff!" A: "Why, thank ye kindly, partner! That's me. Yer Pansit, right? You linin' up fer a match? You'd have th'type advantage, y'know." Q: "Tell me, is it true? How many close bonds are...

    Destiny Village ~ Pasta Plaza

    Luz shrugged expansively and laughed at Echo's sheer earnestness. "What can I say, fella? Variety is the spice of life, or so they tell me! Don't think I've tried honey yet, but sweet things are real good fer sure..." The zeraora-shade set off strolling along the plaza as she'd been, the...

    Destiny Village ~ Pasta Plaza

    Luz nodded with enthusiasm. "Sounds like you're a guy after my own heart! That's why I spend a lotta my free time here. Gotta try every kinda food they got! Shall we take a look t'gether, my new pal?"

    Rocky Road ~ Home of Sword, Shield, Cynthian, and Skara

    Brisa took a peaceful breath and allowed herself the tiniest of momentary purrs. This was the best: helping someone by arranging a duel. And she'd get cheered on, too. She'd come to love that. "Oh, I'm expectin' ya to kick me about easily enough," said Brisa. "Just means I don't need to hold...

    Rocky Road ~ Home of Sword, Shield, Cynthian, and Skara

    Brisa chuckled. "You're a li'l devil, you are." She nodded to Shield reassuringly. "It's okay. I trust her not t'bring me to real harm." Sword was a real mischief-maker, but Brisa had felt her heart. She wouldn't want to actually hurt a friend. She just liked to get reactions. And that was...
