    Treasure Town ~ Marowak Dojo

    No, no, salt and sand, don't get to this point and back away from a fucking fight again. Gods. She needed to fight Starr more than she needed to fucking eat or sleep or breathe just please no more of this stalling bullshit! Fuck the apology. Brisa would give Starr an apology when she'd bitten...

    Treasure Town ~ Marowak Dojo

    Starr couldn't even look her in the eye. And she was the one hiding? Brisa was the one who'd wanted this fucking meeting in the first place! "I'm hidin' from nothin'," Brisa spat. "If you'd fought me back at the Bluff, or hell, on our first day? We'd be square by now. But no. Instead we gotta...

    Treasure Town ~ Marowak Dojo

    Starr with Curio. Starr had helped Curio? But Curio still hadn't talked to Brisa. What had they said to each other. Her vision closed in and the chatter of the world outside seemed to hush itself to make room for the droning in Brisa's head. Starr had comforted Curio, and things still weren't...

    Treasure Town ~ Marowak Dojo

    What did she know about Starr? She'd put down Cynthian as a 'snivelling coward' and fought over it rather than apologise. Played loose with Turf's life when they still knew nothing about shades and would've fought Brisa rather than apologise. And now Starr was condescending to lecture Brisa...

    Treasure Town ~ Marowak Dojo

    'Stupid.' This gal really didn't get it, huh? "That sure ain't how I see it," she said, staring Starr in the eye. As she did, all thought of her apology burned away, as her hackles started to rise. "I hurt Curio, goddamnit. I hurt her bad. Because I lost control. Because I'm..." Brisa made a...

    Treasure Town ~ Marowak Dojo

    She knew about Curio. Not just the explosion, the Radiant Arrest. How the fuck did she know that? Did Astrid tell her? Did Curio? Who else knew? "What? Beating- yeah of course this is about that. Do you even know what I did? How it happened?" Gods, what if everyone knew? They'd... they'd...

    Treasure Town ~ Marowak Dojo

    Brisa almost balked at the hostile tone, but... it was hardly the most aggravating thing Starr could have said. That, and she'd spent long enough psyching up already. Here went nothing. "Yeah, well… I was hopin' you'd turn up if I hung around. I've had somethin' on my mind for a minute...

    Threadmarks: R3 – Day 20, Morning ~ Is that what you tell yourself?

    Morning, Day 20. Fixing things with Starr. That surely couldn't be so hard, could it? Nearly a week since her fuck-up. Four days since she'd seen Curio. Two since that conversation with Astrid. The dojo had been repaired, well enough, but there was still no sign of repairs on her friendship...

    Treasure Town ~ Woodland Outskirts

    Brisa snorted. "Alright. You're then plainest speaker I ever met, but I appreciate your candour." Her heart rate was still elevated and she still smelled of fear. She was still feeling bruised, physically and emotionally. But still, some of the worries pressing at her mind had been answered, at...

    Treasure Town ~ Woodland Outskirts

    She winced. Then she let out a long breath. Gingerly, haltingly, Brisa's tail resumed tracing her mnemonic spirals. "Y'know, at first I thought I was here because of my parents. Then, I figured maybe we were all picked because we had it in us to volunteer. Then I wondered if maybe it had to do...

    Treasure Town ~ Woodland Outskirts

    Brisa scoffed. "So you scoured a score of goddamn worlds, and this is the best you can muster? I've been tryin' to see the best in the posse, and there are some... some really special people, sure, but even you can admit you got some duds. Are you really not gonna dip back in for better...

    Treasure Town ~ Woodland Outskirts

    Brisa nodded. "I figure it's more subtle for the locals cause they got regular bodies. I'm feelin' pretty fuckin' bad about overdosin' on radiance the first minute I got it, and I'm just hopin' it doesn't mess up the others too bad..." She shook her head again. Gods' dung, she couldn't be...

    Treasure Town ~ Woodland Outskirts

    "Then that's good enough for me," said Brisa, considering the matter settled. "I won't push this thing about Buffet. I don't intend to compromise the mission just so I can put the screws to my father." Ugh, time to stop thinking about Jesse. Fine, next question. "Diyem, I got a powerful...

    Treasure Town ~ Woodland Outskirts

    Brisa chuckled, a real one this time. "Terror? Were you hopin' I'd wet m'self at the news that the ornery feller tryin' to save this world used to be a threat to another one? Nah. I figure you've had enough folks act like that around you already." So, Owen knew, and he'd asked about hugs? That...

    Treasure Town ~ Woodland Outskirts

    Brisa thought on this with her eyes closed and her tail drawing scratching in the ground. "I get it," she said at last. "Folks don't tend to easily forgive bein' hurt or afeared." Deep breath. Try not to panic just because of the telepathy. It wasn't so bad. "So you're a bein' made of painful...

    Treasure Town ~ Woodland Outskirts

    Brisa stammered for a second, then... she laughed. It wasn't a happy laugh, but a wild, lofty, broken sound. "Y'know, so would I. Fuck, it'd be worth it just for that. The chance to really put some splinters in his neck." She shook her head and tried to focus. Having the phantom image there...

    Treasure Town ~ Woodland Outskirts

    She'd had the questions assembled in her mind for days. Plenty of time to think them over in her sickbed, tracing mnemonics with her tail. What were you so worried about when Buffet offered to speak with you? Do you know if there's some reason that the radiance-touched are just as lunatic--in...

    Threadmarks: R3 – Day 18 ~ Misfits

    Brisa prowled into the woods in search of no particular prey. Not that she could catch much with her body still so battered from the fight down at the beach. "Diyem?" she said aloud, unwilling to subvocalise what she intended to ask, even if she would only receive answers in goddamn telepathy...

    Grass Continent ~ Treasure Town Beach

    She wasn't alone any more. It was a new idea for Brisa, one that felt too good to be true. But just for a few minutes, walking back to town propped up by her...—her friends, yes, her friends—Brisa actually believed it. They made it back up from the beach before too long, and although Brisa...

    Grass Continent ~ Treasure Town Beach

    Brisa nearly defaulted to the terse, short reply she sometimes gave strangers, and indeed had given to a few local vendors and passersby. Human pa, feral ma, weird kid who don't fit in. Figures. But... Cabot was so earnest, and she'd opened up to a person at a time, here and there. Dave, Curio...
