Luz had a certain fire in her eyes, one Brisa didn't fully recognise. She raised her glass. Black teeth flashed in her mouth. "Fuck yeah we are," she said, with enthusiasm. "You swore," said Brisa, instantly. "You never do that." "I do when I feel strongly enough," said Luz, winking. "Right...

Brisa scoffed. "I've not used Maple's tab in months, pal. I've been workin' fer a livin'." "Pretty dumb thing to do if'n you ask me," teased Luz, with a face more smug than regular biology would allow for. "Shut it, you. Anyway, yeah, I'm glad y'all void eternas have each other. Stick...

Brisa sighed, but kept a dry smile. "I could fill my years here, kid. But the real important stuff, fer closure? Pretty much. If we got word it were happenin' ten minutes from now, I've said most everythin' important. I'd just wanna go in the company of the folks I love, is all." She glanced...

Luz chuckled to herself. Brisa raised a brow. "Everyone has a different idea of what's fun for them, partner. Fer me, it's pickin' up bruises in a sportin' battle. Ain't fer everyone." "What do you enjoy, then?" asked the shade. "If there's somethin' you could do before y'all gotta go, and...

"You don't think it were a missed opportunity?" pressed Luz, leaning her head on one paw. "We were here fer a whole year in the end. Weren't you . . . lonely, fer most of that?" "Some folks are solitary by nature," interjected Brisa. Where're you goin' with this? "Just thinkin' 'bout how when...

Brisa chuckled. "Bein' one of the team's strikers is practically a fuckin' dream job. Sure, there were some scares, but I'm just wishin' I could keep at it. Be big goddamn heroes, like Rocky said. You, though... I'm guessing' you're happy to be headed home, right?" Luz was giving Nate an odd...

Brisa snorted. Her turn to cover her mouth. Luz was unfazed. "I think he'll duplicate hisself and take on the same colours and hide as Bean, somethin' like that. Who knows? It'll be excitin', anyway." Brisa scratched her cheek. "Fun as it is to imagine, it'll be tough. And if it is his final...

Brisa had seen her share of Colo matches turn dark, what with berserking combatants and people getting in above their strength class without realising it. But maybe listing those examples wasn't the right play with Nate. "Well, I reckon those bureaucrats do a lotta lookin' into mundane shit as...

Brisa laughed. It was pretty fucking true. "Fair enough! But no, I'm sure. Spotted him usin' a zygarde-pattern shield this one time, an' he definitely ain't mortal with how fuckin' fast he is. Volume ain't such a strong indicator if'n you ask me. Zygarde bodies don't reflect their emotions...

Brisa nodded with dark resolve at Nate's encouragement. Yeah. She'd blast the damn thing to smithereens and be done with it. Ah, Colo. Sure. "Yeah, gotta make the most of it. I wanna challenge those folks as I'm most curious 'bout fightin', at least. Didja see we just managed to get a narrow...

Brisa nodded, wincing a little as the resentment she'd been living with bubbled up inside her, sour and acidic. "Yeah. But I'm told that some stuff can stick with us, dependin' on the rules of our worlds. Aria straight up didn't forget a thing when her Diyem sent her back, apparently. I swear...

Brisa rubbed her chin and hummed. "Everyone keeps talkin' 'bout the rail track they're layin' down from the east coast over our way, fer locomotive transport. Until that's finished, y'gotta charter the services of a flyin' 'mon if you can even get one who can carry you, or else trek on foot or...

Brisa shook her head. "I might take it a li'l easier in the Colo if that were true anywhere I knew of back home. My ma's clan takes fightin' real serious, only kids fight fer fun and show. And townies, the local ones at least, consider unnecessary combat uncivilised. My dad's from a world like...

Brisa nodded, comparing her single and double battles in the Colo with the reserves strategies they'd used in mass combat. Almost everyone in reserves, huh? It'd create a completely different strategy meta than she was used to. Techniques and tactics the team relied on as a matter of course...

Brisa grinned drily. "I dunno if I could figure out the knack fer it. Y'need a certain kind of disregard fer consequences t'pull that off. Hence, the lovely Astrid as our specialist. I've only exploded from Radiance the one time, and I ain't keen t'repeat it." Luz had her paw over her mouth to...

Brisa raised her head in a small nod of acknowledgement. "You'll have seen some of my matches, then," she said, stating a fact. Her participation rates had been recordbreaking. "Not that there's much time left t'make use of it or anythin', but, d'you have any . . . advice, I guess? Colour me...

Luz beamed happily, eating up Rocky's enthusiasm. "Yeah, that was somethin' real special. Y'think anyone got it on video? I wanna watch the highlights. D'you think I could put my participation on my resume? Jus' kiddin'." Brisa snorted, and shoved her haul from bar where everyone could reach...

"Cauldron ain't the place fer a quiet drink, y'know." "Guess not! But I've had my share of quiet lately. I kinda feel like runnin' into someone, t'be honest! Been awhile since we had a group yarn with folks. Maybe we'll see Vix an' Kane, or Cythnian an' Ivy?" "Don't seem likely. But sure, yer...

Brisa agreed with the expressed sentiments with a quiet, dry smile. Any further response was cut off by the arrival of their food. The sandwich she'd had earlier had gone a ways to filling her up, but Sombra's presence always seemed to improve her appetite, oddly. I'm just tryin' t'look after...

Brisa chuckled. "Nah, I got through it all nice'n clean. Meltdown only hurt me an' one other, an' the Shadowin' was down to one of Giovanni's gizmos. Nobody blamed me fer that one. Since then I've kept my head real nice. Don't seem like it in a vacuum, but compared t'most of us, I've got my head...
