Someone finally died and Crimson's a wreck again. Care to give me Gems? It helps my motivation to do better. To those wishing to contact me, kindly do so in my Discord. I accept private messages. My server's a bit dead at the moment, but feel free to join anyway: discord.gg/NZA6Jun Conversely, follow me on Twitter @FriedMokou.
The stillness of my room made for an adequate backdrop as I began to get my bearings back in order. Beyond my aching head and the nagging feeling of guilt and emptiness, I felt relatively decent. Not unlike myself back in the old world. Still, the sense of unease and the tension that surrounded the room was suffocating. And that's with only myself occupying the damn place."Huh..."I sighed, placing a hand on my throat as I massaged it. Talking was painful, and I'm pretty sure that I'll be doing a lot of talking as soon as Livia comes back with my protege. Whatever Lace did to me was solid. Probably better than I'll ever do if she was put in the same situation. Oh... There's that guilt again.*knock knock*The rapping of knuckles on the wooden door alerted me of someone's presence. It's probably the two women on the oth
Descartes can only describe the sight she just saw as horrifying.The maid knew that Madame Crimson was a bit touched in the head. Brilliance can sometimes be a detriment to a person's sanity, after all. And it was only a matter of time before said brilliance would run amok and ruin a person's mind permanently. She'd heard stories of it already happening with her Madame from the others, but she never expected a breakdown to be this... visceral..."Leave us."Descartes blinked as Madame Olivia finally spoke. The elder sister was crying deep into the taller woman's shoulders, the gut-wrenching sound of guilt and regret palpable even as the cries of the broken woman echoed louder than the APC's engine.No words were needed. With a curt nod, the small crowd that gathered dispersed out of the wooden door. Madame Lace was the
OLIVIA⬛⬛⬛Olivia knew that what she was doing was correct.At a time where the brightest beacon in her life was essentially snuffed out, Olivia knew that she had to pick up the torch and carry on in its former bearer's stead. Her unwavering belief in her own decisions was what she needed to push herself forward now that Sister was essentially... useless... No! She wasn't useless! Sister was still the most brilliant mind in the entire world. There's nobody that can even approach the genius that was Crimson. Yes...A standard-bearer... That was what Olivia knew she had to become now that Sister had thrust the reigns to her admittedly incapable hands. She knew that Sister only saw the good in her, and that the faith She had with her was truly founded on her own abilities. However..."Am I real
OLIVIA⬛⬛⬛In the darkest of night, the throne room shone with a faint glow as the glass ceiling let the moonlight filter through it. With each step, Olivia felt her confidence waver even as the sound of her Sister's wheelchair creaking behind her gave her some semblance of reassurance. Anne's silent wave of resolve emanated behind her as the massive gilded chair before them sparkled with a pretentious light. In the middle of the throne room, an earthen table stood resolute with the current members of their group occupying its equally earthen seats.Now or never, "Is everybody here?"A terse silence was the only thing that returned to her. Approaching the table, the twins were seated the closest to the throne. Ruby and Phillipe seemed to occupy their own corner of the table, while Isaac and Bennie seemed to be gathering
LOVE⬛⬛⬛In the mind of one of the two heiresses to the Empire, the situation had completely gone off the beaten path.Love knew that the situation was dire. Any person with a functioning mind can see that their group had completely entrenched themselves in a highly valuable position without so much as a functioning supply line. At best, they had the local populace giving them donations and helping as best as they can, but the Factor still saw serious logistical problems for when the Emperor finally returned with the full weight of his army."Are... Is there any word of a possible counterattack by the Empire?"Love watched in silent observation as Lady Olivia struggled to grasp the reigns of her new leadership. While Love understood Lady Crimson's decision to put her sister in charge, it was
TESLA⬛⬛⬛*ZZZZAAAPPP!!*If were to ask about what Tesla believed in just over a month ago, she would easily spout out her ideals wherein violence was absolutely not needed to resolve conflicts. It was so easy to see how a well-worded argument can diffuse a heated situation. She had seen it once from a helpful servant, and she had worked to strive for that ideal ever since. The loss of human life was regrettable, and as a young child, she failed to see how her parents couldn't see the atrocities their family was doing to the citizens of their small town. Was it even justified to punish people for simply not arriving on time? Or even for the easily fixable problem of failing to add the exact amount of cherries in one bowl?No. No, it wasn't.*KRAKATHOOM!!!*Still,
TESLA⬛⬛⬛Getting to work, Tesla made herself inconspicuous as she trailed the massive walls surrounding the compound. Based on her own experience, each compound had at least one emergency exit for when disaster struck or unintentional fires erupted from a reckless Num throwing their elements around without a care in the world. In the past, she might have caused a few accidents that almost burned a quarter of her station, but it was a memory best left buried in the dust as she felt out the tall and imposing walls for the indent.In resolute silence, the former Prime placed her hands against the walls, her sense seemingly expanding as the sparks surrounding her seemingly danced around her fingertips. In her mind's eye, a rough image of the entire building manifested with glowing blue lines. Her lightning took in everything, and for the past few days
TESLA⬛⬛⬛*rrrruuumbbleeeee...*The sound of thunder echoed from above her as Tesla stared at the two Dens in front of her. The pair were clearly intimidated by her display of force, if the way they held their tools tightened was any indication of the sort. With each second that passed, the arcs of lightning surrounding her only seemed to grow more numerous, her seemingly limitless reserves leaking vast amounts of her own power against her will."I.. err....""T-they're near the entrance, lady!" one of them blurted out, seemingly gaining enough confidence to point right past her. "They won't dare to come here. It's too hot."Tesla blinked at the answer. It lined up with what she observed with her previous liberation efforts. It might not be much, but it'll have t
