    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorm Lounge

    Foraging, huh? That didn't mean actual foraging, Brisa was certain. That wasn't in line with Kate's species, or a number of other details she'd conceded, which meant it was probably a figurative term. So then– "Sounds like dungeon crawlin'. Subsistence dungeon crawlin' is how my ma's folk make...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorm Lounge

    Brisa sighed. Kate's friend couldn't have had the same expectations as were laid on her. "I didn't have much of a choice but to take after 'em. Nobody else stepped up as ranger when my parents made 'emselves scarce, so..." So she'd had to protect an entire town alone, just sixteen years of...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorm Lounge

    Gods, it really had been no time at all for Kate. Poor fucker. At least her body seemed able to keep up with the rest of the team in combat. "Yeah, I can relate. Back home is sure nothin' like this. I ain't seen a legendary pokémon afore I came to Cibus. Nor any of this technology. Nor cities...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorm Lounge

    Brisa gave a nod of thanks and reached in her satchel for her usual ceramic tumbler. "Salt 'n' spit's just a kinda swearin', Kate, not a cocktail. Anyway, sure. If Luz liked it, chances are I will: we got the same taste in practic'ly everythin'." She let Kate pour her some glühwein, and gave...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorm Lounge

    "Yeah. Uh..." Maybe she was too tired to just talk. She needed something to loosen her tongue and quiet some of the thoughts spilling about in her head. Brisa's eyes flashed gold as she pulled up just the slightest touch of radiance. Enough to speak freely without feeling the fatigue quite so...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    "You have my word," said Brisa. "I won't tell a soul. Hmph. Alright, Diyem, I'll let ya rest. Contact me if need be." Were he not Dark Matter, she'd have considered offering him some token of physical comfort. But he was Dark Matter. And so she did not. "Get stronger," was all she said, as she...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa smirked a little. It was an unfamiliar expression and didn't fit well on her muzzle. "I'm fine. As fer you, if it won't kill ya to use a normal goddamn voice then get th'fuck over yerself and use it. Anyway, despite all yer skepticism, my chinwag with Maple leads me to believe you're...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorm Lounge

    Gods, Brisa was fucking exhausted. She just needed to spend a spare moment in her dorm or something, catch a breath, maybe get herself a drink... She thought of bothering Luz, and immediately discarded the idea. She didn't know whose company she wanted right now– Ah. Sneasel . . . Kate, wasn't...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa yanked at her cheek fur in frustration. "There y'go again. Reducin' the situation too damn much." She let out a long sigh of her own. "I ain't expectin' Maple to pay a visit to ya durin' yer recovery outta the goodness of her heart. I'm expectin' Maple to believe that workin' with us...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Goddamnit. That grouchy bastard. Brisa closed her eyes and let a snarl of discontent peter out, until she was once again stable. "I'm not convinced y'ain't jus' hidin' under them there blankets 'cause yer embarrassed to look like a newborn," she said, at last. "You'll get over yerself soon...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa curled her lip back, then stopped herself, shook her mane free of a little excess shadow, and returned to the steady hum of darkness she'd been maintaining. "Y'ain't exactly wrong. But yer framin' it without any goddamn nuance! You're so scared that folks won't trust you, even though the...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    "Master yer fuckin' fear, Diyem," hissed Brisa. "Y'ain't alone here. Whatever happens, I'll speak in yer defence." She scoffed. "Why, I'm willin' to bet you never even thought you could set foot on Cibus without being exterminated on sight, now, did ya? Yet, here you are. Arceus and Maple alike...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    The shadows churned. Deception. It didn't come easily to Brisa to accept deception. It had been tough to deceive Buffet about Diyem's willingness to speak to him even with a white lie. Still... "I'll respect yer judgment," she growled. "Even though with shadows coursin' through me I still ain't...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Ah. Naturally. Brisa grimaced. "Kinda had a feelin' she'd be in the world's guts," she replied, hushing her voice in kind. "So this doesn't just mean she's actively workin' at puttin' hurt on Cibus, but that to put a stop to her . . . we gotta convince everyone that Dark Matter and his posse...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa's ears perked up. "This a 'prowl up an' take 'em out' kinda knowledge, or somethin' else desperately terifyin' to fret about?" she asked, her voice dust-dry. She already knew this wasn't good news, or Diyem would get to the point. It didn't really matter. The threats facing them were...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa let out a short, humourless laugh of relief. "I sore needed t'hear that. Okay. Good." What next, then? "Alright. D'you have any insight into Giovanni's plans given what we know now? It feels like we're collectin' tiny pieces of a shattered whole picture. He's usin' radiance, shadows...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa nodded, and approached to sit by the bed. She was so tired. "Glad t'hear Owen is fillin' you in. Wasn't sure how caught up you'd be, given yer condition an' all." She took her time with her words. No need to rush. She'd already spent so much of the day's time and there was only so much...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa huffed. "Howdy, Diyem. Don't you worry, I ain't here to coddle ya. If you have the strength fer it, I figured we'd discuss the situation as it stands." She'd heard that Diyem had soundly rejected affection and consideration, and she intended to abide by those requests. What mattered now...

    Threadmarks: R9 – Brisa & Diyem

    Brisa hardly stopped moving, going from location to location attending to everything she could think of. She sent Luz off to boost morale with the more fretful members of the posse, and occasionally exchanged a text or even minor telepathic exchanges. It was getting easier to open up. Slowly...

    "Pays t'be prepared," shot back Luz with a toothy smile. "If I were makin' the call, I'd pack the lot fer this one."
