    Destiny Village ~ Sundae Park

    Luz smiled in her ordinary way, wide and earnest. "Let's give it a go! I'll join ya in that." She gave herself a little shake, and stirred some electrical energy into place across her fur. The luminosity didn't carry as far as Cal's flames might, but it was a bit of fun, and it made her feel...

    Null Forest Depths

    Damn right one of them would've done a better job. So fuckin' what? You do the best job you can. Otherwise you're just givin' up! Brisa hadn't felt it for a while, not since the earliest days on Cibus, but that notion of it should have been them had a bitter familiarity to it. But she'd grown...

    Destiny Village ~ Sundae Park

    Cal sure was agitated. The reason was obvious, of course, but Luz was restless to do something about it. Maybe a good distraction? "Yeah, fer sure," she said. "I bet y'could do some fantastic show-sparrin' here. Or go fer a race. Or meet all kinds of new people." She pursed her lips—such as...

    Null Forest Depths

    Brisa swiped at the shadow, snarling as she tried to pin it down. Give up this stupid bullshit. It's a fucking manifestation of dark thoughts. Of course you can't just fucking fight it. Reason with her. "Cynthian, listen t'me," she growled. "I get it, you're strivin' t'make yerself useful and...

    Destiny Tower

    Luz watched with interest as the conversation between Cola and Petram turned into a plan—no, a scheme, a ruse!—to let the lil' fella roam the town. She could get behind this! And she didn't have to talk about being sad any more, which was great, because she wasn't at ease helping people with...

    Null Forest Depths

    Brisa had been right—Cynthian's shadows were vicious, after the sorry fucker had spent gods knew how long torturing herself. The shadow was pursuing her, spewing recriminations and anguish. She must be so weak. You oughta have protected her more, and sooner. Help her. Now. Brisa tackled the...

    Destiny Tower

    Luz fidgeted with her paws, as restless as her mind. "Most folks take it hard when they lose people they care about," she said, without her usual easy certainty. "We all just lost a number of pals. Things're gonna be different now. That's hard." She scratched her cheek fur and tilted her head...

    Null Village

    Already, the group is falling apart. You haven't done enough. "Hmm. At least if you an' yer shadow are separate, that means no goddamn conflict between ya. You'll have to wait, Cabot. I gotta find the most vulnerable of us an' lend a paw." Brisa cast about for the scent of Cynthian, and though...

    Destiny Tower

    "Sure seems like a lil' Pop t'me," said Luz, smiling fondly. "Maybe y'all can't see it 'cause of yer history t'gether, but I reckon this tracks." She offered Cola one of her massive paws and beamed. "Hope y'find yer pa's journals plenty int'restin', Arceus Cola! I'm Zeraora Luz, and it's a real...

    Destiny Tower

    "Well now, there ain't a thing wrong with takin' after folks an' tryin' on new presentation," said Luz, grinning toothily. This was so interesting and fun! A new creator-entity, and one that mimicked her accent! And heavens above, that sure reminded her of Brisa, oh stars. "How far up on yer...

    Destiny Tower

    Luz arrived a little after everyone else, and listened rather than speak. Mostly she was concerned with the correct way to act and speak so as not to make people uncomfortable. Brisa had been telling her of late (Brisa was gone) that endless cheeriness could be more offputting than negativity...

    Destiny Village ~ Central Crossroads

    Luz watched blankly as events unfolded on Cibus, almost as well as they possibly could, given the circumstances. Normally, she'd be thinking of what was most interesting, or how she might help someone out, or what Brisa might be feeling... {Are ya there, darlin'?} she tried again, feeling...

    Reverse World ~ Downsideup City

    Did she mean it? Astrid was talking about those last words before Brisa vanished. Astrid, I love you. Did she mean it? Yes, she had meant it, hadn't she? Was that something you just said 'yes' to? But it was too late, Astrid was fleeing... Luz had, technically, achieved what she'd meant to...

    Null Village

    "There must be somethin'," growled Brisa. There was always something. "I gotta make myself useful." She looked around at her surroundings, taking them in through bleary eyes and a mind aching from thrashing, tightly-bound negativity. "You aren't shadowed," she remarked. "Why?" Neither was...

    Null Village

    The fatigue wasn't physical. It was baked in, a part of her deeper than tiredness, something in her soul itself. There were people around her. Owen. Dave. Voices. Arguments. Diyem himself, talking about . . . everyone on Cibus. This wasn't Cibus, nor home, but the realm of Diyem, of Veritas...

    Void Core

    Brisa was the last to die, holding stubbornly onto life as long as she could before the blacklight vaporised her body. The agony turned to darkness, and then to a confused, torpid fugue. She shouldn't be conscious. She'd expected her soul to be annihilated if it were possible, and if by some...

    Reverse World ~ Downsideup City

    Luz didn't know what the right thing to say. Or to do. But she held Astrid tight and kept herself as steady as she could. "Astrid, darlin', you need t'come back to earth now, y'hear? Remember you promised y'wouldn't throw yerself away no more, remember that Brisa wanted us to save Joule...

    Reverse World ~ Downsideup City

    Luz looked between Starr and Astrid in desperation. Could she even keep either of them from going on an all-out onslaught, let alone both? She balled her paws into fists and let oit a directionless yowl of distress. "Goddammit," she swore, surprising herself again, "come to yer senses, won't...

    Reverse World ~ Downsideup City

    Brisa was dead. The feelings inside Luz were a wound she couldn't just shake off. But wounded heroes kept fighting until all were safe. They didn't show fear. They didn't quit. They didn't cry. Neither would she. "Astrid, darlin'," said Luz—her voice surely betraying no pain, no fear, no...

    Reverse World ~ Downsideup City

    Brisa Escarpa Once again, Brisa saw Starr lifted off the ground by psychic power. Astrid too, and Owen, and so many others–! And, she realised with furious dismay, her. "Oh, no you fuckin' don't," she snarled, gripping the island's surface with all her strength. She'd never used Shining...
