    Spirits' Edge

    Luz took a step towards Buffet . . . and paused. Whatever the vast context was for Cal's and Remi's conversation, however fleeting this encounter, and despite Remi's cheery disposition . . . this was still a person with some kinda tragedy in her heart. A person who, if you thought about it, was...

    Spirits' Edge

    Luz looked on and smiled. "Look, I got nowhere t'be, and if y'wanted more time, that'd be just fine by me. It sure sounds like y'got what ya needed, though." She looked up at Remi, and tilted her head inquiringly. There was a lot she could ask. But it was Cal's place to do that, not hers. Not...

    Destiny Colosseum

    They were gonna lose. Harder than she'd even expected. Too bad, but at least she'd lose with Starr by her side, in spectacular fashion. She threw up some shields to parry some of her opponents' blows, and rushed Nanab while she was staggered with her very best shot. And in perfect coordination...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Starr and Nate

    "That's true," said Brisa. "I've been tellin' folks we can't afford t'dispense with our powers just 'cause the feelings that come with 'em ain't easy." Starr had told her plenty about her old life, at the level of detail she wanted to. Brisa wanted to ask more, but she still had to let Starr...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa grit her teeth and pushed through the pain of being hit almost to the point of unconsciousness in a single salvo, down from the strongest she'd ever felt. She knew Pine would be strong, but this was more than she'd even conceived of! Time to change targets, see if they could get anywhere...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Starr and Nate

    "...That's right," said Brisa, softly. "You don't. You never have in all the time I've known ya. If there's any part of ya that believes y'were justified, it's buried so deep it's never let up. I ain't even sure there's such a part at all." She could feel her heart against her sternum. Was she...

    Spirits' Edge

    Luz tried to get a read on Cal's face. Had all that apprehension just plain evaporated, 'cause of a good throwdown? "Cal, darlin'," she said, "congrats on yer evolution. That was one impressive performance! But are y'really done here so soon?"

    Rocky Road ~ House of Starr and Nate

    Well, there was the answer to Brisa's musings about Starr's guilt. Her Radiance and Shadow were both about her guilt. She'd broken eye contact. Guilty, 'or whatever', she'd said. Best not to push too hard, perhaps, given Starr's clear reticence. But if Brisa didn't hear this, who would...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa looked to Starr, exchanged a glance. They'd drilled together for this, trained a dozen different strategies, but they'd never really known what they'd end up against. They'd have to improvise. They'd have to outdo themselves. They'd have to be beyond their best, both of them. The way...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Starr and Nate

    Brisa looked at Starr carefully, without judgement. Starr's uncomfortable, dark feelings . . . were comforting, took the pain away... As if Starr was less comfortable with feeling unconcerned and out of pain than she was implying. As if... She thinks she's supposed to hurt. "I dunno, Starr...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Starr and Nate

    Brisa tilted her head. What did Starr mean by that, exactly? Was she talking about how Brisa and Owen got that combat high...? Either way, Starr suffered when she fought. She chose to. She had to, in order to use Radiance at all. Why...? "I don't rightly know. I've been takin' guesses, though...

    Spirits' Edge

    "A mutual resignation! The match is a draw!" Luz chuckled to herself. She felt a bit silly, like she was showing insufficient gravitas for the occasion, but who cared? The gals were happy enough. "So," she said, strolling back into the clearing, "I don't pretend t'be an expert on these things...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Starr and Nate

    A nerd?? Seriously? But Brisa didn't wriggle away. Even as she scowled up a storm, Starr's knuckes on her scalp were . . . kinda nice, actually. Was it possible to be grumpy and delighted about the one same thing? "Well, yeah," she grumbled, "I'd say so. Fer one, it's a tactical advantage fer...

    Spirits' Edge

    Luz's paws clenched and vibrated with excitement. This was going to be sometihng special, she could tell. What a unique and extraordinary thing to witness! "Not t'worry, partner," she called to Buffet as she darted to the side of the clearing for a better view, "I'll keep an eye on 'em~" Was...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Starr and Nate

    Brisa frowned in mock-offence. She knew she was in the minority for poring over her powers to the extent that she did, but wasn't it only fair? "Sure did. And now it's stickin', since you just forfeited yer right to change the name," she said, with a playful growl. "It ain't that inventive...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Starr and Nate

    "Mmhm," replied Brisa, nominally noncommittally, but as she leaned into Starr's paw a little, she fully intended to. She'd try, anyway. "Thanks, partner." She wondered idly how Starr was doing on that same front. The venom in her voice when she'd confessed her sins in the pit... Brisa hadn't...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa grinned. She'd made peace with the idea of getting their tails handed to them by these two. If that was how it went down, it'd be a thrilling match and no mistake. Just like every fight with her and Starr. She padded into the arena alongside Starr and flicked her tailtuft from side to side...

    Spirits' Edge

    Cal needed a moment, evidently, and Buffet was much too longwinded to let take this one. It was up to Luz! "Yeah, we ain't dead jus' yet," drawled Luz. "We're searchin' fer the folks that we're descended from, I guess is the best way t'put it. Cal and I, we ain't normal 'mon, we formed outta...

    Rocky Road ~ House of Starr and Nate

    The idea that she was doing things right and her crushes weren't up to scratch was a giddy goddamn thought. And then Starr struck home with a finisher that left Brisa reeling. Obviously you're nice. Dumbass. Starr really thought that about her?? Well, it tracked, sure, but even so... "Okay...

    Spirits' Edge

    Luz's face broke into a wide, crooked grin. So much for the disaster Cal was intent on expecting. And wow, fittingly for someone purportedly related to Owen, not-Cal was mighty! "Howdy," she said, automatically. "I'm Luz, an' these layabouts here're Cal, an' Buffet, Voice of Cibus. Well met...
