    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    With her brief respite in the study over, but her mind still going a million miles a minute, Brisa needed something productive to do that wouldn't push her further out of sorts. She needed to ground herself with something easy before she had a hope of reassuring others or making hard choices...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Study

    Brisa did care about her whole team. That wasn't exactly what she'd meant, though. But . . . it didn't seem like a priority to resolve her heartache when they had mere days to prepare for a fight with Joule, if they could even survive the incoming attack... She nodded to her companions. "Thank...

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Polteageist Cafe

    "Guess we'll find out pretty soon," said Jesse, wondering why shopping would be a priority for anyone besides Lillie, with her outfit predicament. "We'll be spendin' our first night in this world soon enough. Gettin' some rest will help us all, I'm right sure. Hope t'see you in better spirits...

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Polteageist Cafe

    Jesse took more whiskey from his flask to wash down the last of his muffin. What he really wanted were some decent poached eggs. Too bad. You couldn't always have what you fucking wanted, and that was the way of it. No point griping when you could take action. "You take a minute to get yer...

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Polteageist Cafe

    Jesse curled his lip back for a moment, then let it go with a sigh. "Maybe yer cosmog came t'this world too. Maybe there's a power here that can get y'home, like the power that got me to mine. Maybe y'don't find either of those but ya keep yer shit t'gether and try to make this world better...

    Brisa hissed through her teeth. "Yeah, okay, I dunno why I even tried to anonymise the question. Yeah, this is about Astrid." The name hung in the air, daring Brisa to say other honest things. "I . . . really care about her. An' the posse needs her, of course. Perhaps I can get her t'see...

    Brisa raised a brow. "If keepin' folks in line ain't a leadership responsibility, I don't know what is. Ya seem perfectly indispensable t'me." She blew out a breath and put her tail-tuft the the floor to trace patterns. What was she really asking about, if not anything that occurred to Maple to...

    Nothing better. Brisa accepted the answer. It was enough, though it did strange things to the space behind her ribs. "We'll get him back," she said. "I promise. I consider it my duty." Her tail twitched uneasily. She'd been meaning to learn something of duty from Blade since the incident that...

    Brisa grinned. "Ah. He's somethin' of a perfectionist, then? ...I think we can use that." She tried to read the expression in Maple's eyes as the Voice talked about her lover and touched his doppelganger with affection. Even when Maple spoke critically of Joule, her depth of feeling for him was...

    Brisa scratched her cheek fur and frowned. "You talkin' about radiant corruption, gettin' dirt on his armour, or somethin' else? 'Cause I ain't safely assumin' anythin'."

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Polteageist Cafe

    Jesse shrugged. The anger was leaving him pretty much instantly; this was just a scared kid, she didn't know what he'd done. "We'll find a way t'fix it. ...You're thinkin' about this all wrong, Lillie. It ain't about whether yer achievements or capabilities are up t'scratch, what matters is...

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Polteageist Cafe

    Jesse couldn't care less what Lillie was or wasn't thinking. Whatever she felt so shit about, there was no fucking way it would register to him. At least not right now. He rubbed his temple to ease the migraine. "I'm hearin' yer thoughts. There's a difference. Anyway, kid, listen... Don't...

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Polteageist Cafe

    Jesse flinched as if he'd been slapped. "I volunteered fer the life I've lived," he growled. "I'm responsible fer bein' this way. I ain't a victim." It was his own fault. Every time he'd been hurt, or felt like shit, or let someone down, it had been because of that decision. A decision he's...

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Polteageist Cafe

    Jesse gave a nod of thanks and tucked in. {Have a lil' conviction, kid,} he sent, casually. {I know y'had a good reason. Victory don't come so easy to those as give up on theirselves this quick, y'hear?}

    Brisa sighed, and accepted the state of ignorance once again descending on her. It had become far too familiar a feeling. "Fine, then. I also wanted to ask if y'knew of any weaknesses or strategies we could use, if we gotta fight Joule. I'd understand if'n y'hadn't shared everythin' to date...

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Polteageist Cafe

    Jesse bristled at her immediate thought, but let it go. "All I know is, you ain't a bad sort, and they're adult humans chasin' you around. Sounds like creeps t'me." That seemed simple enough to Jesse. What was with this girl? And, more than that... "God it's fuckin' weird seein' human bodies...

    Brisa scowled. It wasn't their fault that the answer wasn't reassuring, but... "I've been worryin' about the fate of the familiars ever since they hatched," she admitted. "Are they gonna stick around? Mature into somethin' else? Return to Joule when the time comes? There's nobody we can ask...

    Oh, yikes. Poor kid hadn't had much fun today, huh. "Relax," he drawled, "I just saw what I was lookin fer. The good news is, I reckon you'll snap back t'yer body the minute yer done in this world. The bad news is I ain't got much advice fer dealin' with those creeps back home. Best of luck...

    Brisa flicked her tail in thought as she watched the odd couple. Strength, huh? Something occurred to her. "Say, the two of you know Joule better'n anyone. I got a few questions about the fella, but most of all, I've been cogitatin': why d'you reckon he created the shades? Would he, could he...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Study

    Brisa shook her head. "No, y'weren't. Neither was I, or a lotta folks in the posse. Neither was Diyem." Who among the team had been pleasant, reasonable, and free of bad decisions, struggles and pain? Fucking nobody. Perhaps Cabot came the closest with his fervent optimism, but his talent was...
