    Nihil River

    Brisa stared Owen down. She wouldn't show fear. If he didn't listen... Dyin' is yer reward fer fallin' short. It ain't even like it'll last, here. Well, then she wouldn't fall short. Not now. Not for her friend. "Owen, get a fuckin' grip," she growled, her voice steady despite the...

    Nihil River

    "You're not a fuckin' WEAPON, Owen—" He is, though. And he ain't got strength left to act otherwise. The tethers snapped, and Brisa yelped at the mental shock. She'd had pushback before, but never this kind of no-sell. This is hopeless. You ain't got a chance. Not without her here. She took up...

    Nihil River

    No, killing him wasn't the way—he could turn up fucking anywhere! Lose him to this place forever! They had to calm him down if there was even a chnace of doing so! Now. Now. This was Brisa's chance to reach out to Owen. To show him her heart. She yowled with effort, and lit up the red dust in...

    Nihil River

    Brisa snarled, and for a moment the sheer viciousness of the fight—no banter, no team coordination, just brutal attacks amid lifeless desolation—put her mind in a black pit she'd hoped never to enter again. You might have to kill him, t'save him killin' yer allies. You can die, though. At least...

    Destiny Village ~ Sundae Park

    "It'll be okay, Cal," said Luz, tapping out replies on her badge with a fraction of her attention. She needed to keep up morale so she left out the part where wasn't hell a place of unlimited suffering and how long would she have to wait and how certain are we that they can be saved? That wasn't...

    Nihil River

    She didn't drill them often, but Brisa knew the techniques of Agility and Quick Attack. She raced damn near as fast as she ever had to get from the forest's edge to the river before things got worse. "Owen!" she shouted, as she closed the distance. Maybe she could Arrest him—? He'll kill Dave...

    Destiny Village ~ Sundae Park

    Luz leapt to her feet and stared at the vanishing Soda. "Ain't y'gonna tell us what we can do about that?" she called. When there was no answer, she hissed her disapproval. It was weird, being annoyed with someone. This was very possibly the first time it had ever happened, and she was taken...

    Null Forest Depths

    Owen. Her friend's relationship with his Shadow had always seemed one of the most stable and healthy of the team, but didn't that mean the distance to fall if it ever shattered was so much further? Owen was a sweetheart, sure, but his confession to her on the eve of moving to Destiny...

    Destiny Village ~ Sundae Park

    "Howdy, Soda," said Luz, the melancholy vanishing from her voice. She was Luz, the Wandering Light, and she was never less than full of courage! Never. "You got somethin' t'say on the matter of visitin' Spirit's Edge, fella?" she asked.

    Destiny Village ~ Sundae Park

    Luz bit her lip and looked off into the middle distance. She was fixing to have a crisis of her own, at the rate they were going. "Brisa never met th'real Luz," she said, quietly. "Everythin' about me is made up. I'm lit'rally made of stories. Folklore." What advice could she even give Cal...

    Destiny Village ~ Sundae Park

    Luz cradled Cal's in one oversized paw, rubbing her back gently. Most friendlier folks took comfort in that stuff, right? "What're y'sayin', hon? That without Owen, you're stuck usin' an alias that just ain't who ya are?" Luz imagined going by Zest for the rest of her life. Not terrible, she...

    Destiny Village ~ Sundae Park

    Why hadn't Luz been afraid of this before? She would always have lost Brisa eventually. Did she think that if they'd spent more time together, it would have been enough, somehow? Maybe! Maybe if Brisa had grown strong and wise and Luz had found a place to be Luz, it would have been a farewell...

    Null Forest Depths

    Brisa clenched her jaw and kept resolute as the shadow held her tight. Even the thorns pressing into her didn't deter her from returning the embrace. When it was over, she looked to Cynthian and her own composure. The little plant was carrying herself differently. "C'mon," growled Brisa...

    Destiny Village ~ Sundae Park

    Oh, the poor lil' thing. Oh, Cal... "Darlin', if he's at all himself, he'll remember you." Luz reached for Cal to pull her into a hug. All she wanted right now was to comfort the shade of her host's best friend, and wrap her own arms around her.

    Destiny Village ~ Sundae Park

    Luz wanted to think about anything but this, and before she knew it, she'd slowly folded herself into a crumpled heap on the grass beneath them. "Yeah, I feel th'same way," she confessed. "We made ourselves fer our hosts, y'know? I chose this identity 'cause..." Something was terribly wrong...

    Destiny Village ~ Sundae Park

    Aw, stars. This was getting beyond Luz. What would be helpful? Maybe she could talk about literally anything that had nothing to do with their hosts, at all. But she couldn't think of a darn thing. Luz took an uneasy breath, and solidified her paws enough that she could crack her knuckles—a...

    Null Forest Depths

    She should get ahold of herself. This is worse than you in the Pit. You have more hope and more allies here, you should be FINE. At least in Rockfall Cave, she and Starr hadn't had shadows to deal with like this. Brisa kept her paw extended and held her gaze. "There's always the chance y'might...
