    Null Forest Depths

    "Are y'sayin' you were caught up in a conflict betwixt the gods?" asked Brisa, prowling up from behind Dave. The sooner everyone was back at the village and safe as was practical, the sooner Brisa would be— Well. Not happy. Less stressed, perhaps. Who're you kiddin'? You'll be stressed out...

    Destiny Village ~ Parfait Way

    Oh, she was welcome to cuddle? That sounded . . . nice. Real nice. Luz approached, hugging her torso as she walked, then turned and fell backwards into Anthus' wingspan. "Thank ye kindly," she murmured. It was harder for Luz to feel dreadful about her body or her relationships with a warm and...

    "Guess we all wanna reach harder fer those we care fer, in times like these," said Luz. "Maybe that's why I'm here. It ain't like I thought I could fix things fer you, or I had somethin' specific in mind I wanted t'know. I just wanted..." Why was it hard to say? If she couldn't have the fun...

    Luz raised an eyebrow, cocked her head. "If'n y'say so, partner. Feel pretty sure not everyone was created intentionally, least of all us familiars." She thought for a minute, and watched the way Leg behaved with Anthus. "Guess she's like yer kid, kinda. Right?"

    Destiny Village ~ Parfait Way

    Luz grunted something staticky and grabbed awkwardly at her cheek fur. It came away, melding with her fist, transfering from one part of her body to another as if she was so much semisolid liquid. "Thinkin' more'n usual about certain things," she muttered. "Thinkin' 'bout how I'm not Luz, just...

    "Darned if I know," said Luz, honestly enough. "If there're other incredible power sources layin' about, could any of them be used to help Arceus? I ain't heard of any yet. I guess if he restores hisself somehow, Joule constitutes one?" Rubbing her cheek wasn't working anymore. It wasn't fur...

    "We were wary of y'all at first," mused Luz. "Not me personally, I was still a lil' shade, with no bond t'make me 'me'. But Team Spectrum—we had t'make a choice to trust a lotta folks in order to lend our strength fer th'sake of this world. None of the breathin' members knew each other afore...

    "If there's a will, there's a way," quipped Luz. "There's plenty of will on the team, we've been rallyin' splendidly fer a buncha grievin' souls as far as I can tell, but I'm not so sure about Maple. That gal don't trust Diyem none, which is no surprise to anyone as knows her history." She...

    "Y'ain't heard? The fallen posse members are in Diyem's Voidlands. Heard it from Soda that th'place is more or less hell, so I figured the God Squad would all know. Still..." Luz cracked her knuckles distractedly. "If the power of the Tree of Life is off limits, or all gets allocated to Pop...

    Luz nodded. "Yeah. Yeah, that tracks. That feels right." She sniffled a bit, though she didn't have a proper nose as such. It seemed to help. "Still holdin' out hope fer savin' Brisa, of course. I guess Diyem needs a lotta power to drag 'em outta the Voidlands, or somethin'? I try to keep up...

    "Hush it, pal," said Brisa, firmly. "It's dealt with. Y'wanna talk about it, we get outta here first. Somewhere where it's safer." Brisa pulled away, her injuries healed, and walked unaided away from the scene of Owen's transformation. Someone else might need the help more. And Brisa... Brisa...

    Luz perked her ears and her whiskers twitched. "Y'mean that?" She didn't recognise the emotion filling her up, but it sure was an emotion. Oh, wow. "Anthus, darlin', you're plenty dear t'me too," she said. "Why d'you think I came t'you so soon, huh?" She smiled, but turned her face away and...

    Destiny Village ~ Parfait Way

    Luz shook her head, and her whiskers sparked a little from the motion. "I ain't one of Brisa's things, I don't mean like that. I mean like how family belong t'gether. Doesn't every mon wanna belong somewhere, belong to special people in their life?" Luz bit her lip and stared at the luxio...

    "I'll keep fightin'," said Luz, just as quickly. "There ain't doubt of that." She glanced at Leg, and pawed at her cheek fur. "It's just... strange. I don't know how to belong to someone who ain't alive."

    "I'm fine," said Luz, reflexively. She pursed her lips for a moment. Her lights flickered. "I don't rightly know what t'do with myself," she admitted. Her body language changed, and the confidence dropped off. "I ain't ever lost someone this way," she finished, quietly.

    Brisa could hardly think. Her own mind was drowned out by shadows. She'd used so much of her strength, every kind of strength, in that fight. That moment. Everything hurt. Everything burned. Pathetic, ain't it? That this is the best y'can do. You only died, why can't you be stronger than this...

    Dolls of the deceased. How delightfully macabre. Creative, rather. A delightfully creative way to honour the dead. "I'm jus' fine, said Luz, sauntering closer. "You know me. Nothin' fazes th'Wanderin' Light." She took a seat and put her cheek in her palm. "Be honest with me, fella, how are ya...

    "Howdy, you two," said Luz. It was beginning to feel wrong when her voice didn't 'match' recent events. She softened it. Not very well, she thought. "Guess I thought I'd come check on y'all," she added, approaching.

    Threadmarks: R10 – Ain't Comin' Back – Luz & Truffle

    Luz spent a fruitless half-hour wandering about Pasta Plaza for distractions while the oroborous in her mind ate itself again and again. Brisa's gone, and she ain't comin' back. She ain't dead fer good, she can still be saved. There's no way t'save her, 'cause the means are outta reach. Brisa's...

    "Don't think about it none," said Brisa, her heart still drumming hard. "Jus' keep yer shit t'gether. Y'didn't hurt anyone, focus on that." It was okay. They were okay. She kept her forehead and one paw against Owen's huking form, and shuddered with... Something. It didn't feel like fear...
