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

    Brisa smiled weakly at Dave's assent. "I don't spar after drinkin', anyway." She listened to the mightyena relate their 'death' with a lurch of anxiety. "I'm . . . glad you made it," she said. "Soda's a liar," said Sombra, quietly.

    Spirits' Edge

    Luz bit her lip. "I know I'll think of more to ask. I could stay here a while, fer sure. Easy. But..." "It's okay," said Luz. "I'll give you a piece of advice, before you go." Luz drew close to Luz, and took her paw in her own. Electricity passed between them, and with it, understanding. "If...

    Spirits' Edge

    Luz looked her 'source' over. She'd been expecting a mirror, or something unrecognisable. But in Luz, she saw just enough of herself, and no more, to recognise how she had become her. The Wandering Light was blind, and tired, and old. So different. Yet she was . . . kind. In her strange, blunt...

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

    Brisa flinched away with each new pain. Dave was angry. (Scared?) He'd died, again, in the Worldcore. He didn't even sound relieved to have survived. "You don't gotta spar with me, Dave. I'll drop it." She wasn't sure what to say about the death. Was he right? People could believe all sorts of...

    Spirits' Edge

    "Sounds like y'want to..." said the zeraora shade. "Would it be a bad thing t'keep the name I've always known ya by?" The hero just listened, face inscrutable.

    Spirits' Edge

    "I'm alright, Cal," said Luz, softly. "Really. And if y'wanna meet the flesh'n'blood 'Cal', and y'want a friend by yer side, jus' give the word. I'll be right there with ya." Luz laughed, and Luz stared at her, confused. "There you have it. I shouldn't matter to you. I don't have any stake in...

    Luz narrowed her eyes. Luz looked at Cal, uncertain. "Whaddaya mean, partner?" "Seeing if you were matching me, no doubt," mused the Wandering Light.

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

    Brisa winced at the reference to their deaths. That wasn't fair. Combat sports weren't lethal save for the most absurd instances of disregard for safety regs. Going up against an angry star was . . . different. "I treat everythin' like work if I ain't careful," she said. "I'm workin'— Aha. I'm...

    Spirits' Edge

    "But I'm so afraid," whispered Luz. "All the time. I ain't self assured, I just acted that way outta ignorance until the very first time somethin' spooked me an' then I folded like a house o' cards." "Really?" said Luz, folding her arms. "We're doing the 'courage is being afraid and acting...

    Spirits' Edge

    The shade's mouth wobbled, and her ears pinned back. For a second, her body lost definition, looked more like tar than fur, before returning to the carefully sculpted form she presented. "But I don't– I can't..." She clenched her fists, and it hurt that there was no muscle there to clench...

    Spirits' Edge

    The grin on White's face actually looked like the one Black usually wore. If only for a moment, before the serious look returned. "You have memories since you started existing, right? Those were your choice. And the way I figure it, there ain't a difference between what you care about and what...

    Spirits' Edge

    White Luz laughed at that. "As much as anyone else is, I expect. Look, y'all are pretty young, I take it? Here's something it might help you to hear." The zeraora walked forward, until she was standing very nearly right up against her dark mirror. "Nobody is supposed to exist. They don't...

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

    "Y'could do it as a favour to me," drawled Brisa. "Or 'cause it would make ya stronger fer the team. Or 'cause ya get a battle high just the same as I do, an' combat is healthier than this stuff." She tapped her bottle with a claw to emphasise her point. "I won't pester ya, though. It ain't...

    Spirits' Edge

    White sniffed. "I have never met Brisa of my clan. These memories... They are only stories about what I represent to the Escarpa. You say you were born with them, that they are your identity?" The zeraora's face tensed in what could have been pain. Maybe pity. The shade nodded, making a face...

    Spirits' Edge

    White nodded, and held a paw up, palm raised, in a gesture that invited elaboration. "Never mind your pa. If you don't know what a hero is, do you know what . . . 'Luz' is? Tell me about her, kid." Black cringed at the sound of their name in the mouth of her reflection.

    Offscreen Activities

    Brisa and Luz compile an exhaustive set of notes on the events and mysteries and personae of significance to Team Spectrum's mission, to the best of their ability. They make the team aware of this so Nate anyone who wants to help, can contribute. Hopefully this will make it easier to find...

    Spirits' Edge

    "Escarpa?" The Luz in a white-furred body narrowed her blind eyes. "How have my name and that of my clan found their way to another world, to be given to you?" She shook her head, held up a paw. "No. Don't tell me. It will only prove a distraction. You came seeking me for a reason, I'm sure...

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

    Brisa's mouth pulled into a tiny smile for a moment. "I guess. It was . . . odd. But yeah, sure." She looked back at Dave, and leaned her chin on her paw. "Y'should fight me some time, y'know? Y'got a lotta strength in ya lately. I could still teach you a thing or two, I expect!" He didn't...

    Spirits' Edge

    Luz the shade winced continuously at Buffet's lengthy explanation on her behalf. Luz the Wandering Light turned her head slightly, pricked an ear. "A Voice? You ain't much like the only Voice I ever met. What's it to me if someone named their kid after me, anyway?" The flesh-and-blood zeraora...
