    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorm Lounge

    Brisa thanked Dave for the beer, popped the cap, and then raised the bottle in agreement to not fucking getting it for him. "Fair bit to discuss there," she drawled. "But I'm gonna... Yeah. With you in a bit." She got to drinking, eyes closed with relief.

    Destiny Village ~ Parfait Way

    Luz grinned. "Whaddaya do in yer downtime, anyhow? The way I hear it, yer the busiest soul on the squad, but I know y'still find time to help Leg out with her dolls. It's sweet. You're sweet. But there must be time that's just fer yerself?"

    Destiny Village ~ Parfait Way

    "Yer forgiven," said Luz, immediately. "Not that yer wrong, but it ain't nothin' considerin' the context." She hopped up on the kitchen worktop to swing her legs in the air. "Strivin' t'be better is good. Brisa's all about that. Me, I reckon y'gotta take it easy sometimes too. Life's too...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorm Lounge

    "Talk in a sec," she said to Dave, forcin herself to lose the hard edge on her voice just a little. She loped after Starr, using her luxray vision a couple times to check that she was going the right way. Wasn't so hard to get the hang of, really. It came naturally so long as she was looking...

    Destiny Village ~ Parfait Way

    Luz shrugged again. "Who can say? I was never mortal, 'less y'count Brisa as my past self or somethin'. Yeah, she, uh. Always kinda daydreamed 'bout bein' a zeraora someday. Earnin' her place as a sentinel 'gainst evil, an' ascendin' to succeed th'Wanderin' Light." Luz trailed off, gazing at...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Holding Cells

    "Noted." Brisa motioned with her head to Dave to follow her out, and bit back a torrent of bile and thunder. Would anything make this bastard afraid? What if she just shocked him until he fucking screamed. How about then. I thought y'weren't a violent animal. Brisa snarled at herself, and...

    Destiny Village ~ Parfait Way

    "I guess?" Luz finished chopping the apples and shrugged dramatically. "Incidentally, legend has it that every zeraora on Brisa's world has t'leave home to become a zeraora. By definition, I'm a voluntary exile."

    Destiny Village ~ Parfait Way

    Luz beamed. "I'd be thrilled. I mean, yeah, I think of myself as a Cibus native, but all my memories are from Brisa's world. So my culture is from a world I've never been to. I don't belong nowhere, so why not belong everywhere I wander?" She cocked her head. "Hang fire, what d'you mean 'story'?"

    Destiny Village ~ Parfait Way

    Luz gave Truffle a yearning look. "It really does sound wonderful to travel with y'all. To do so much good. I guess y'must think pretty highly of the lot of 'em, huh?"

    Destiny Village ~ Parfait Way

    "Yeah, but t'be a Voice with no world, and t'lose an entire world? There's hardly a greater pain than that, nor one so hard to escape," commented Luz, taking a brief moment from her chopping to coax Truffle's wings back to effective use in his cooking. She sighed, and blew a tiny kiss to Leg...

    Destiny Village ~ Parfait Way

    Luz winced. "I'll drop it, Anthus. It's alright." Shnk, shnk, shnk. "I'm sorry. Grief an' loss are still new t'me. Anythin' really matterin' is still new to me. And I'm still so young y'can count my age in weeks. I take it this is somethin' I oughtn't t'bring up, an' that's fine. I know...

    "Steady there, partner," said Luz. "I don't mean one with another you. One with everythin' but you, waitin' fer yer arrival. If such a place existed—Millijoule talks about the multiverse as if it's literally endless, perhaps one does."

    Destiny Village ~ Parfait Way

    Luz kept chopping, her knife making steaady shnk sounds. "I told you I wanted to travel with y'all fer perfectly optimistic reasons," continued Luz, evenly. "You didn't exactly dissuade me. But I've been thinkin'... Is there some cost, some price that would deter a person from joinin' the team...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Holding Cells

    Brisa's gaze didn't leave Giovanni just yet. She lingered. Imagined what it would be like to crush his windpipe under her paw. Was there anything to say? There was much to ask, but Giovanni was sharp. He would learn more than her and give away less than her from almost any question she could...

    Destiny Village ~ Parfait Way

    Luz nodded, shrugged, and got to work slicing apples. "Gotcha. Seems all of God Squad are troubled souls to some degree, then. Y'all seem pretty even-keeled considerin' what ya told me you've been through, yerself especially." Dead wife, dead child, failed deathwish. She glanced at Truffle...

    Destiny Village ~ Parfait Way

    Luz' eyes widened and she tipped her head down as she gawped at Truffle. "Centuries? But the fella acts like a lil' pup! How come he's all . . . y'know, like that?" She scratched the back of her neck awkwardly, all the more so for how it didn't make sense as a shade to perform a movement like that.

    "Just shootin' the breeze with Bahamut about how pain an' aeons can change a person," she deadpanned. Luz wandered over to Truffle's side and leaned on the countertop. "Say, how old are yerself an' th'rest of the Squad anyhow? Oh, an' is there anythin' I can help ya with fer yer meal, by the...

    Threadmarks: R11 – What Wanderers Want – Luz & Truffle

    Luz waved Bahamut off, out of habit and in thanks, although he might neither see nor care about the gesture. It had been an interesting discourse. Cibus sure was her home, but... Hadn't she told members of God Squad that she wished to travel with them when this was all over? Much to think on...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Holding Cells

    Brisa allowed herself a miniscule smirk, her jaw tense even as she did. It was too early—and their ignorance was too severe—to be confident about anything, but at least Giovanni was on the back foot. And Starr was telegraphing that she was the one in that position, even with Brisa and Dave...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Holding Cells

    Or we could end yer wretched life here, before you do worse harm to worlds elsewhere. You've forfeit all good faith already. So much fer guaranteed success, when we have you beaten down an' captured. You've failed, an' we'll keep it that way. Vague allusions an' conjecture are nothin' of...
