The act of thinking for oneself was something that was utterly ingrained into the human psyche. Based on what I've seen from both myself and from others, everything that a person does solely benefits them in one way shape or form. Even those that were called selfless were selfish in a way that they wanted recognition or self-validation in their acts. After all, they did say that the satisfaction of a good deed was more than enough for them. I didn't blame them, of course, but in a sense, it was a bleak way of looking at people. I mean, if everyone was inherently a selfish person, then why bother helping others?"It's chaos out there!""They're at the Eastern gate of the city already. Should we even hold that position or should we just let them in?"It's been a long time since I've allowed myself to think properly. Had it been days already? Weeks? Months? I really do

The tension that built up on the room was so thick that you could probably cut a solid chunk out of the air inside. The round table oozed of nervous stillness and desperate energy; both borne of a distinct lack of proper ideas and half-baked solutions that never seemed to gel properly despite all that was done to it. I was almost tempted to jump in just suggest something.'Then why not, Master?'You already know my reasons. Besides, we're not completely dead in the water just yet.It was important that the ideas kept flowing in a meeting even if they were all shit just to keep the momentum going. If not, then this exact scenario happens and nothing gets done. If all else, it would make it faster to get to a proper solution than to ruminate inside your own head about what-ifs and all that shit.'Like what you always do?'

OLIVIA⬛⬛⬛Everything that could go wrong might as well go wrong now as Olivia felt her mind exploding from the constant stream of information she had to take into account. The sudden incursion of the enemy was something they all expected, but they didn't even think it would be this fast!"We... we can't send her out there," Lace gravely shook her head. "Tesla's done enough."The frazzled brunette resisted the urge to scratch her head in abject confusion and frustration. Why was Lace so adamant in not using their best asset right now? While she knew that Tesla's been rather... unstable as of late, they couldn't afford to coddle her in the same way they're already doing with Sister. Especially since it was already proven that the former Prime was powerful enough to wipe out armies on her own.

LOVE⬛⬛⬛Love never thought that the solution would be this simple. It was so laughably obvious that she couldn't help but let out a small huff of disappointment in her own skills as a Factor. After all, shrinking down their defensive wall and bracing themselves with their back against the wall would make planning and coordinating their forces infinitely easier. Not to mention the fact that it would solve their already strained supply lines in the event of a protracted siege occurring."Yeah..." her twin nodded at Lady Olivia's chosen place. "The buildings around it would make for a decent corridor to funnel the troops.""It would also be an excellent vantage point for the Subtrahends, as well as being within range of the eastern gate's battlements," Love added. "It will add a risk of being overwhelmed and being unable

Adaptability. The ability to shift oneself to the needs of the situation. While most would say that humanity had it in spades hence their constant progress in technological evolution, I, for one, have no faith in my own species' ability to even try to move away from their comfort zone. Hell, I find it hard and I already know it can kill me. What more for the average bloke that didn't even know that doing nothing would kill them? From an outsider's perspective, it was simply suicidal and moronic; like watching someone knowingly killing themselves off like lemmings walking off a bridge.'And even then you don't care, do you.'Unfortunately for you, Ica, I'm at least self-aware for it to somewhat work on me. I already began trying to help the others, right? That's already one step forward.'And you're more than likely to do it all the way,' Ica scoffe

OLIVIA⬛⬛⬛Olivia bottled up the feelings of anguish and despair even as she put on a brave face to the others. Her Sister was clearly not in the right mind, even more so than before as She gave her a nostalgic smile that tugged at her heartstrings. Don't think about Her words. Focus on defending Her even as she struggled to even decipher what She even meant."It... I don't..."To her side, Tesla had retreated into her shell again. The white-haired teen didn't seem to know how to respond to someone talking nonsense- No... not nonsense. Olivia was sure that her Sister was perfectly capable of giving them proper advice despite... despite sounding absolutely insane."I'm not being dramatic. As if speaking to you would not count as speaking in moons anyway.."The con

GRIGORI⬛⬛⬛Even in his retirement, Grigori was always an obligate warrior. He considered his place to be on the battlefield. Despite his admittedly above-average skill in defensive warfare and troop management, the Lord Stone never wished it upon himself to be seated into a more comfortable position training troops and assembling Imperial Army contingents. In fact, he never even wanted to act as a mentor, only being thrust into the position in virtue of his status as a Prime. Granted, it taught him the joys of teaching, Grigori still found himself wishing that he was swinging around his large war hammer and moving the earth to his whims.Then again, being away from the battlefield in his twilight years had forced him to appreciate the lack of problems that entailed being responsible for the lives of those he cared about."Who in the world said

DESCARTES⬛⬛⬛"The maid would do well to sharpen her tongue."Descartes froze behind her Madame's wheelchair. It hadn't even been five minutes since the throne room was emptied of its occupants, leaving her to tend to a Madame Crimsons that seemed to have completely lost her mind. A part of her despaired at the prospect of caring for a deranged madwoman that had far too much knowledge to use for potentially inane or hazardous actions."O-oui, Madame?"The Vaion held her breath as she forced herself to calm down. Madame Love and Olivia just inferred that their poor leader still had some of her wits about her. Surely Madame Crimson simply had a plan that required her to think like an old and decrepit woman. And even then, her Madame clearly had more than enough strength to walk on her own acco
