    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorms

    Well, Kate was a sharp one, wasn't she? This would be good for getting to know one another, and exciting without exacting an actual loss. To Luz the appeal was considerable. It wasn't like she had much to bet, anyway. "Winner gets a free truth outta the loser. I like those stakes!" Luz...

    Null Forest Depths

    Sombra laughed, and it sounded like birdsong. "Two seconds, huh? I'd give it at least ten minutes. You're right, though. I think we're almost ready t'grow that lil' bit stronger, now that we're steppin' past this." Brisa let her Shadow speak for her. Dave's foreleg at her mane and his head near...

    Null Forest Depths

    He'd said it before, with different words, in other ways. Still, Brisa was hearing the meaning for the first time. Not an admonishment at all, but acknowledgment from someone who saw worth in her. "O–okay," she said, her voice choking on a quiet sob. "Th–thank you—" Sombra smiled, closed her...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorms

    Luz searched her memories of such games of chance as Brisa had had the opportunity to play. Townies tended to accuse roughlander types who got good at anything of cheating, and the luxio line in particular of using x-ray vision to do so, so it hadn't been many. Still, Doubter's Dice was one...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorms

    "Mm? Oh. It's a lil' somethin' Mimikyu Leg made fer Brisa. Back before I existed, Brisa got trapped in the reverse world fer a spell, and Leg made this as some kinda wish fer her t'return safely..." Her eyes felt peculiar again. She couldn't even cry, she was a shade, and she wasn't upset, so...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms
    Threadmarks: R10 – Not Okay Either – Luz & Starr

    Starr was nothing if not self-controlled, and so, as usual, she was in the training rooms at her usual allotted time. The incineroar was testing out her new body's endurance lifting weights, it seemed. She could lift . . . a lot. Wow. It was easy enough to find her. It always had been. The hard...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorms

    "I really couldn't say, partner. Eternatus ain't somethin' I know too much about!" Or someone, as it may be... Augh. Luz didn't have energy left to contemplate stuff like that or reassure Pleo. Every time she questioned something like the personhood of a world-eating entity her first instinct...

    Null Forest Depths

    Brisa shook her head, wincing, cringing, even. "Please, Dave, y'got nothin' to apologise t'me fer. I started it. I hurt you far worse. And... You were just tryin' to help me, an' I lashed out." Sombra seemed to grimace. "It didn't help that ya fuckin' called him 'pa' first." If Brisa could...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorms

    Luz had tried to prepare herself to finally talk to those posse members still living who'd been closest to Brisa, but all that thinking about what to say to them had achieved was to make her core ache desperately in a way she could barely stand but was running out of stamina to suppress or...

    Sand Continent ~ Isle of Light

    Luz cracked her knuckles in turn. Spies. It didn't sit well with her. She wrote it off before, but... "Well, at least we're movin' towards a plan. I'll do what I can to keep the team morale up and get the best of those that're left of us in condition to keep up the struggle. If I can. I trust...

    Null Forest Depths

    Sombra nodded, smiled. Still so tired. "Ah, yeah, she is," managed Brisa, her voice thick and uncomfortable. "I guess I just..." She trailed off. How could she explain? She hardly understood what was happening in her heart, herself. Again, Sombra answered for her. "A person can only suffer...

    Sand Continent ~ Isle of Light

    All things considered, Maple wasn't taking the news . . . as badly as she could've done. They were at least discussing things rationally! And the other God Squadders present were pushing on with the pressing practical priorities of the situation. Good. Luz allowed herself a small smirk at...

    Sand Continent ~ Isle of Light

    Luz approximated a long blowing-out of breath. There was so much riding on this moment, and Maple's expression was hard to read as she heard out first Bahamut, then Icetales. They talked about terrible loss, sacrifice, suffering... What could Luz say to follow their words? She hadn't experienced...

    Null Forest Depths

    Brisa took a few shuddering breaths, and found the strength to look at Dave's face, scared of what he might see in her own. "Y'can call me Sombra, if y'like," offered the Shadow. "I'd say 'pleased t'meet ya', but I know you as well as Brisa does, of course." Sombra smiled, a little awkwardness...

    Sand Continent ~ Isle of Light

    Luz raised an eyebrow. This wasn't the angle she was expecting, and she was pretty sure this wasn't something she could help with, so... "I'll, uh. Let Truffle and Millijoule know we're here." She tapped out a few messages to her radiant fellas, then folded her arms and listened.

    Null Forest Depths

    Brisa's face screwed up in pain, and she cast her face down, afraid to look at Dave and see his blood where she'd rent his throat. Sombra spoke for her. "Howdy, Dave. Please, come an' take a seat by us. We got some things we gotta say to each other, I guess." That shadow-distorted voice was...

    Sand Continent ~ Isle of Light

    Luz gave Joule a lopsided grin. "It's a pleasure t'finally make yer acquaintance, Necrozma Joule! I'm mighty fine as ever, and delighted to meet my sire at last. I, ah, take it you're not a dissimilar fella to my pal Millijoule, huh?" She offered a paw to Joule, (his claws weren't so much...

    Mystery Continent ~ Northern Pines

    Luz cracked her knuckles over and over. Time to go face Maple, she supposed, and to ask her favour in using the tree of life for the benefit of Dark Matter's faction. She could almost hear herself saying No problem, Maple's a reasonable gal! We'll just explain our reasonin', an' she'll see...

    Sand Continent ~ Isle of Light

    Luz approached alongside the other Spectrum envoys with her usual eaasy stride, but it didn't fit right. Not now. At least the brightness felt good. "Howdy, Voices of Light," she called, grinning with something of her awkwardness showing through. Aw, hell. She'd really hoped Millijoule and...

    Mystery Continent ~ Northern Pines

    Luz got the call to the meeting while touring her newest friend, Electrike Koamaru of Canalave, around Destiny Village. They arrived later than she'd hoped to. At first, she peered over the heads of those team members shorter than her (most of them) to search the wraithlike presences beside...
