    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorm Lounge

    Brisa very much doubted that Starr and Nip had spent as long on strategies and training as she had with Owen. But to be fair, the two of them spent longer on those things day-in, day-out than almost anyone. "You'n' me both, partner. My body back home was made of sterner stuff than this; it...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorm Lounge

    Closer up, it was easy to perceive just how hard Nip had been hit in that last match. Physically and emotionally. The weavile still looked winded, despite his characteristically polite speech, and his scent was shot through with stress. Brisa wouldn't ever want to have held back in a fight, but...

    Threadmarks: R9 – Not So Lonesome Now – Brisa & Nip

    Drinks and a chinwag with Icetales was a pleasant way to pass some minutes, but Brisa's muscles and mind still ached. Time to think about an actual rest period back in her dorm. With any luck, she'd be alone—not that Kate was bad company, she just... She was still used to sleeping alone, in...

    "Anthus." Luz spoke his name with a smile. "It's my pleasure to know you, Decidueye Anthus." She rose again to leave, and to leave Anthus to his book, happy to have given him a moment's comfort. She had a feeling he deserved more. <><><><><>

    Luz let Truffle maintain the embrace for as long as he needed. Fella probably didn't get enough hugs. Stars knew most folks didn't. "Whatever happens," she said, quietly, "you done good. Y'best believe it."

    Luz nodded, satisfied. It wasn't an invitation, but it was friendly. Good enough for now. "Thank ye kindly fer yer time, partner," she said, a little softer than her normal pep. She stood, hesitated for a moment before leaving, and then . . . didn't. She rounded the table, leaned down, and...

    "I hear ya. Don't have any bright ideas myself, but . . . I understand what yer sayin'." Luz shivered, wondering how the populace of Cibus would take the loss of their creator-deity, and how Joule would take having slaim him, should he recover from his fugue. A dreadful business all round...

    Luz cocked her head. "What're you sayin', exactly? You're done tryin' to make the sacrifice play, an' now ya fear Arceus is about to bite dust?" She drummed her claws on the table, frowning. "Can't say as I think it's a bad way t'go, savin' th'entire planet, but ain't there another means of...

    Luz sucked her teeth. "Truffle, I know what a death wish is." Well, she'd said it. Why stop there? "Fer however long it was, that must've been a wretched time fer ya. But now you're livin' up to the claim you made in th'first place, and I reckon that makes you as heroic as any of 'em. I...

    Luz winced. And she'd just been talking about ending her life. Stars... Ought she to hug him? She wanted to, but he might not appreciate it. But then, she wasn't one to do nothing. "Fella, that's a weight t'bear I can hardly imagine," she said, pawing the back of her neck. "I don't 'spect you...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Brisa couldn't help but snort and chuckle at Icetales' overblown encouragement. Still . . . it had the desired effect. After all, wasn't that what she wanted? To be a light in the darkness? To bring justice? She sipped her cider and smiled. Maybe it wasn't all she wanted, but... Well, it was...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Brisa bit her lip and dropped her gaze. Her whole face stiffened as the ninetales spoke. He was so wrong and so right all at the same time and she could barely stand it. How to explain that she did it wholly out of duty, but that since realising she had friends among the posse, she'd been...

    "Well don't leave me curious, partner," drawled Luz, slumping over the back of her chair. "There's a statement with a story behind it if'n I ever heard one. I'm listenin'." Something about her opening-up had hit a nerve for him, it seemed, so Luz offered another, more gentle grin. After all...

    "Sure," said Luz, shrugging. "Cibus is a fine world, don't get me wrong. But it ain't where I'm meant t'stay." She waved her tail vaguely and cupped her cheek. She'd called herself a native of Cibus before, but her memories were all of Brisa's world, and her dreams all lay somewhere else. Who...

    Luz chuckled drily. "I need t'be needed," she said, firmly. "Era of peace? I'd go stir crazy, I'm sure of it. I guess I'd . . . volunteer fer emergency services. Sign onto every combat tournament on th'planet. Mentor young folks as had th'inklin' to be heroes after I'm gone, if I can even die. I...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Brisa sipped at her cider for a bit before answering. That . . . was a hard thing to reply to earnestly, and yet she wanted to be honest with Icetales. She drummed her claws on the table and sparked up the tiniest bit of radiance and shadow. "I want the things I've learned t'stay with me...

    Luz fidgeted uncomfortably. "I mean, y'say that, but I don't..." She bit her lip. The 'ectoplasm' of her body's 'flesh' was pliable beneath her teeth. She concentrated, and firmed up even further. There wasn't any discomfort even so, when she bit. It felt like there ought to be. "I don't know...

    "Hmm." Luz pawed at her chin. Motivation, huh? She tended to think about things in terms of actions and consequences, not motivation. Yet, she must have motivations for choosing some actions over others... "I dunno why I do what I do," she confessed. "I took the form of the folk hero Zeraora...

    Luz' smile remained, but softened considerably. "I guess even fer an interdimensional squad of superheroes, collateral damage and injured innocents are part of the course, huh?" She looked away for a second. She hadn't assumed anything about the squad, exactly, and she knew that they'd had...
