    Destiny Tower

    "That'd be my pleasure, darlin'!" answered Luz, scooping Vix as best as she was able into the lampent's own bag. Well, this wasn't at all how she'd imagined spending her time an hour ago, but it could scarcely have gone better! And hey, she'd made a new friend. One that Brisa would doubtless...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Holding Cells

    Brisa scowled. What was it with powerful psychics and not having the first fucking clue how people actually worked?? "Nice try, Karat. That don't come as any kinda surprise t'me. I ain't even countin' Starr among the suspects, and I don't intend to start now. Why don't you try an angle I might...

    Destiny Tower

    Luz laughed uproariously and scooped up Vix's waxen form in a hug as she twirled around in a dance of sheer delight. She was boiling with heat, with infinity energy, with joy! She'd never felt so alive! So free! So worth existing! "That was the time of my life so far!" she cried. "We're doin'...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Holding Cells

    Brisa chewed her cheek. "Yeah, that all about tracks. Some of that we knew or'd guessed. ...My gut says that 'radiant component' is poor Joule. Which means perhaps we can still save him..." She shook her head and met Karat's eye. "We'll do our best to get th'rest of yer allies free of him safe...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Holding Cells

    Brisa scoffed. "If we're spies of Giovanni, then you don't got anythin' to lose from explainin' why yer fightin' him. Either we already know, in which case it ain't exactly a leak of information, or we don't, in which case you might persuade us to turn against him." She glanced at Starr. There...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Holding Cells

    Brisa nodded. "We're already aware that yer also opposed to Giovanni. You oughta be helpin' us nab the bastard, instead of meddlin' with us by way of that sorry sonofabitch lucario. Would you mind explainin' yer agenda, t'begin with? We can see eye to eye all the sooner if'n we know what drives ya."

    Poppin' Arms ~ Holding Cells

    Brisa flicked an ear irritably. This was going to be yet another difficult interaction in the space of less than 48 hours, and just looking at Karat reminded her of Giovanni, of being held in his telekinetic grip, of seeing the fear and hatred in Starr's face... "To question you. Your run-ins...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa let out all the breath she had in her. She hardly dared take a breath back in until the shadows dissipated further. "I'm... relieved. I'll be happy when you're well again. Rest up, Astrid. Please." Astrid had promised, by some miracle, not to explode again. Gods, Brisa just hoped she...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa gawped at her friend. Was this dogged optimism, or something worse? "Astrid..." What to say? How to convince Astrid that this was ridiculous, that this was no excuse for her recklessness? Brisa tried to look into the ninetales' eyes, and despite her heartache, she managed it. "I've...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    "Guess not," muttered Brisa, looking away even as her ears started to burn. She tried to force herself to calm down, and focused the way she'd learnt to when she needed to flush radiance and shadow from her mind and body. It helped. Just a little. But she still couldn't raise her eyes. "I know...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa's eyes narrowed. "So you're gonna keep riskin' yer life like this? Even if it hurts you? Even if it kills you?" Her breath rattled in her throat as she clenched her jaw so hard it sent waves of pain through her skull. "Even if it hurts me? Astrid, I..." Don't lose your shit goddamnit...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa pressed the heel of one forepaw into her face and tried to swallow her own feelings. "Astrid, until y'can learn to keep yer radiance in check, I'm gonna worry myself senseless every time you fire it up that you won't fuckin' survive it. I gotta be able to depend on yer survival to depend...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa sighed, shook her mane. "We need to go after Diyem and Sword as soon as we possibly can, and the way you're holdin' up, I don't expect you'll be ready fer that. You're one of our best fighters, Astrid. We can't afford fer ya to be laid up in bed after every fight. And the explosions are...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Astrid... had done the same thing to Starr? What the hell. Brisa shook her head and grit her teeth. She... didn't know what this was. Or how to deal with it. Or how to deal with herself. Maybe if she just talked, she'd say something that wasn't useless. "You're fuckin' spectacular in battle...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa bit her cheek. "You... texted me. You must have wanted to talk about somethin', right?" Gods, she sounded pathetic. She was trying so hard not to get upset and all it did was make her sound vague and useless. "Have y'thought twice about pullin' those kinda shenanigans again?" she added...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Exploding, twice, and knocking me the fuck out. "I'm fine," she said. "Don't suppose someone already filled you in on how the battle went?" It was pretty hard to meet Astrid's eye. She was so earnest. She looked so, so very young in that ninetales body of hers. Wasn't Astrid older than Brisa...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Holding Cells

    Capitals, she could live without. Punctuation, though. That was a sticking point. Starr's help secured, Brisa set about pacing in the lobby for her friend to arrive. She had too many things in her aching head to determine which of her feelings related to the upcoming questioning and which...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    "Astrid." Brisa's heart tensed up in protest at the coming conversation. She'd just seen a slew of blacklight destruction at the guildhouse, and now she was here, to try to... what? Talk some sense into Astrid? Comfort her? Pretend like Astrid wasn't in the infirmary again, for abusing her...

    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa hadn't been thinking about Astrid. She hadn't been letting herself think about Astrid. She had to worry about Giovanni, and that haze, and Sword, and Diyem, and Karat, and Starr, and– Hadn't Astrid said she wasn't gonna do this shit anymore? Goddamnit. Why did Astrid have to pull this...

    "I'll match yer lightshow!" cried Luz. As she charged her plasma to the point of crackling across her whole physical form, ready to grapple with her opponent, she knew this is what she was meant for! Never mind those piddly little sparring matches! To hell with auxiliary duties on Spectrum...
