    Poppin' Arms ~ Study

    Luz' eyes went as wide as her grin as she listened. "Well ain't that a story!" she exclaimed. "It's real tragic that a bystander should have to go through that, but I guess y'all did the right thing after th'fact." She raise a brow and leaned forward. "What's yer story, fella? You sign up...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Study

    Luz sucked her teeth and nodded. "Yep, that's about right. Can't be all work an' no play, that's fer sure." She peered at the book. "So, you'n' Leg, huh? Y'all live t'gether, what's the relationship there? I ain't spent time with any of y'all God Squad folks aside from a minute here'n' there...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Study

    "Howdy, fella! Many thanks, I put a lot of effort into the preparations~" Luz pulled up a seat and sat backward on it, facing Truffle and his book. "Say, what's yer interest in that, then? Somethin' yer workin' on fer Leg's sake?"

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    There was a lot to unpack there, but as Icetales was asking Brisa to tell of herself, she let it go, merely giving a nod of sympathy. "I'm a ranger. Keeper of the peace, closest thing to real law enforcement on the frontier. I detain bandits an' the like, help out folks in sticky situations...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    "I'll have what this fella's havin'," said Brisa. Leppa cider was a good choice. She leaned an arm on the table and relaxed a little. She'd worked so damn hard, she could switch off for a minute, with one drink. "So, you were a noblemon or somethin' like that back home, ain't it so?" she...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    A 'firmament', huh? Not bad. "Y'know... We nearly called ourselves 'Team Constellation', as I recall." Brisa had actually liked that one better, but Spectrum was snappier, she could admit. "Can't say as I wanna ask anythin' of ya, save to keep folks' spirits up ahead of the showdown," she...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Icetales stared into space, he muzzle twitching. Had Brisa . . . struck a nerve? She let him figure out whatever it was that was spinning in his head, and, at last, he replied. Phew. A positive response. But Brisa knew better than to leave it there. She nodded, and held her gaze evenly. "I know...

    Threadmarks: R9 – Wandering Lights – Luz & Truffle

    Supposedly Truffle rarely stayed in that ominous abode he shared with Leg. With how dark she preferred to keep it, and his reputation for chipperness, that seemed to track, though Luz was curious why they should then share a dwelling at all. Maybe with so much going on, and Truffle's usual...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Stands

    Luz turned from spectating the fight to spectating the bickering between Cal and Puddle. They were like kids, weren't they? Was that because Owen and Vix had some parental feelings in their heads? They were so alike herself and yet so different. Fascinating! "Hey, it's been swell spendin' a...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Ah. Sarcasm. Perhaps she'd chosen the wrong tack. This was about not putting up a fight for Starr and Nip, as if winning a doubles duel against two of their best strikers was what counted for worth. She thumped the table and stared him hard in the eye. "Listen t'me, Ninetales Kyukon," she...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Starr hit her with the force of a speeding train, and Brisa struck back with all she had. The two of them... They were just pure energy, their bodies just a convenient vehicle for their blazing power, meeting in a perfect elemental fury. They'd give the crowd something to remember, that much was...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Brisa took a seat at Icetales' table as the fox began to speak, and listened earnestly. Her ears flattened and her tail drooped as she did. More of this self-deprecation, huh? It seemed half the posse were down on themselves at all times. She'd have to fight that. Icetales more than pulled his...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    It had been a fine job, and Brisa was practically flying from the post-battle high, but Icetales was transparently groundbound. Something was the matter, and not just the generic malaise of too many things on the mind. "Well, thank ye kindly, partner," she said, politely. He liked politeness...

    Destiny Village ~ X-Eye Cauldron

    Brisa went to the cauldron for some respite from the day's tasks, as she often did. This time she was intending only to stop for one drink. Then back to the dorms for an early night. The tournament had taken it out of her, and she needed to catch up on rest. She wasn't expecting to see Icetales...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Perfect! Well, Astrid seemed a lot more into the idea than Starr did, but Brisa knew not to take Starr at face value. Even if the arcades were a bad idea, there were plenty other ways to spend time together. She couldn't wait! Although, of course, she'd have to. There was no way she could...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    "Hey, that's mighty fine t'hear," said Brisa, already vividly imagining going toe to toe with her friends. They were both so strong. No matter who won, it'd be a fight to remember. Hopefully she got to fight both of them before she was eliminated. Maybe she'd get to fight both at once–! She...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Something wasn't quite right, but perhaps Brisa was missing some context. Or they were just real dinged about by the fight, or by the doomsday hanging overhead. It'd be more than fair. Still, at least they both admitted the final blow against Giovanni was a good one! "Fer sure we can pull...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa returned the grin. Damn right, Starr went down fighting. Gods, she was so strong. All this was worth it just to get to fight by her side. There was something off about Starr's smile, though... Oh. Yeah, that... "Astrid. It's okay." Brisa gave her friend a tired smile. It was a long...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Stands

    Luz laughed to herself at the ongoing bickering. Ultra shades were so interesting, so much fun! It'd be good to get to know these two better, maybe hang out as a group with their hosts, have some friendly competition... Wait! "Say, you two," she called, clapping each of them on the back. "I...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa gasped for air, exhausted after keeping up a ferocious pace of attacks to get through so many shield barriers and wear down her opponents' evasiveness. It sure had been one of the toughest fights of her life—the sort of fight she'd never get back home. The sort she was born for. Fighting...
