    Destiny Village ~ Central Crossroads

    Brisa cocked her head, and tried to process Bahamut's assumption that a luxray wouldn't have the penetrating vision they were named for. You may as well question if a charmander's tail flame was a trait that would carry over to this world. "We'll see," she replied, not considering it worthwhile...

    Destiny Village ~ Central Crossroads

    Brisa's face screwed up in an unprecedented, painful degree of confusion. "I don't know where your mind is at, but my tastes don't include fellas. Or mon of your temperament, no offence." She shook her head free of a disturbing mental image. "Luxray can see certain things, including bone and...

    Destiny Village ~ Central Crossroads

    A ruthless attacking style would come in handy, as far as Brisa was concerned, but she wasn't about to argue the point. "Well, I know a few ranged moves I can hone, but it's not what this body is naturally proficient at. Ah, maybe if I have some good fortune, I'll develop a Radiant move that...

    Destiny Village ~ Central Crossroads

    Brisa shrugged, and took a moment to make her own order, taking a few different popular cuts to keep at the dorms, before catching up with Bahamut. "Tankin' hits and supportin' the team's a vital role," she told him. "We need you in that role, and you should be doin' somethin' you're...

    Destiny Village ~ Central Crossroads

    "Sounds like a world in decline. Battling is what pokémon do," replied Brisa, without hesitation. "And if everyone who can fight is servin' in the military and the like, what's to stop to stop the state havin' a monopoly on the use of force? Ordinary folks oughta be able to defend themselves."...

    Destiny Village ~ Central Crossroads

    "Yeah? What was so bad about it? Surf 'n' Turf not great opponents, the crowds, or...? She sniffed about for some decent pickings for herself while she waited for Bahamut to be served. Not that the food they generally had in Cibus wasn't excellent, but she could do with something more familiar...

    Destiny Village ~ Central Crossroads

    (A... fence? Okay. It probably made more sense in person.) Brisa listened and nodded. "I see. Well in that case, my intuition says she and her crew are offworlders like ourselves. The more we see of our enemies and allies here, the more it feels like there are several factions involved, rather...

    Destiny Village ~ Central Crossroads

    ...the really irritating thing about Cibus was that everything was so fuckin' weird that it was impossible to hold confident scepticism about something said in a deadpan by someone as po-faced as Bahamut. Perhaps framing bizarre events in this way was his bizarre sense of humour? Or... a test of...

    Destiny Village ~ Central Crossroads

    Brisa shrugged, and set off in the direction of food-scent. "Might be a schema you've picked up about felines. Not too partial myself. Still, I'll keep my nose up for liver and dairy, if they even have that stuff in this world." The six limbs thing was odd. Brisa was sure Bahamut looked...

    Destiny Village ~ Central Crossroads

    That's right, Bahamut was new to food as a concept. Brisa couldn't imagine what it was like to get used to something like that after countless years of existing without it. "Y'know, if you're tryin' out ordinary food for the first time, you might want to find someplace that serves mixed tapas...

    Destiny Village ~ Central Crossroads

    "I'm more alright than you're likely expectin'," said Brisa, sincerely. "I've already had the tough conversations I needed to. Most of them, at least." Brisa drew a long breath with her mouth ajar, scenting for food. "There are food venues in this direction, incidentally."

    Destiny Village ~ Central Crossroads

    Brisa headed out of the Guild and over to the crossroads with her badge finally in place on her bandana instead of tucked away in her satchel. It turned out she had a lot of missed messages to catch up on. Bahamut was easy to find, given his size and luminosity, and she gave him a small wave...

    Group Communication

    [Brisket > Sourdough]: Honoured Sir, I trust that though we have interacted but little to date, that you will accept my companionship in your exploration of our new and common civic home, and- Brisa frowned. This wasn't the sort of tone anyone else was using in their messages. This clearly...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorms

    "It's paté, it's meant to be cold!" she said, with a dry chuckle. Brisa let the heaviness—and tenderness—of the previous moment pass from her mind with relief as she went back to the hamper. If Curio needed to talk about that other stuff, they'd have plenty of opportunities to come. Why not...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorms

    Curio tightening her embrace was the cue Brisa needed to hold the hug for as long as her friend needed it. She felt a twinge of guilt as she began to enjoy the contact for herself instead of purely to comfort Curio, but... that wasn't wrong, right? It was okay to enjoy this. She waited until...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorms

    Brisa held the hug, figuring that maybe Curio needed it. "Whatever happened, y'know I won't judge you for it, right?" she said, gently. "What's in yer past don't change who you are to me."

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorms

    Brisa's heart jolted. Oh, Curio. "Hey," she said, trying to keep her voice soft. "That don't make you a monster." There was definitely a spike of anxiety at the knowledge that Curio had killed someone but... the regret she felt was palpable, and self-defence was the surest reason a mon could...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorms

    Brisa's tail flicked. 'Certain things'. Curio had been through a lot, she already knew, but Curio hadn't given up too many details. She wasn't sure whether to push... but she'd spent enough time as a ball of nerves around Curio, and talking about her own shit had really helped her. So... "What...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorms

    Brisa smiled at the thought of a presidential Curio, or even just Curio on the campaign trail, on soapboxes and shit. She was such a maverick, it was bound to be interesting if nothing else, especially if she was running against humans. "I'd vote for you," she said, with less irony in her voice...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Dorms

    Brisa nodded. "I get that. And hey, when you get home... good luck. I have a feelin' you could change a lot if you care as much as it sounds like you do, and I reckon that you... that you're a decent enough gal to change things for the better." Ugh, was that the best she could do? Curio didn't...
