The Least Common Denominator XXXIV.IV Arc
"T-This isn't a good idea, Sweetie!~"I ignored my unwilling companion's warnings as I braved the dark alleyways of the city. Far from what I saw earlier as a lively and bustling city, Ablegra seemingly turned into some kind of ghost town in under the span of a few hours as the silence smothered us like a fog on a horror game."Lace? Love?" I called out as we rounded another corner. "I'm here!""Stop yelling," Arya shushed me as we continued on my journey back to my true companions. "What part of dangerous do you not understand?"The urgency in her voice would've tipped me off earlier if I truly trusted her. Alas, her earlier stunt had put me off on that notion as I tightened my grip on her unnaturally cold wrists. "It's not like anyone's out here, right?""You idiot," the blue-haired woman
The Least Common Denominator XXXIV.V Arc
Love? That was quick. Although, step away from Arya? "What's wrong?" To my surprise, the stoic twin looked far from her usual cold self. Well, on the outside she might as well be the same, but the caution in her eyes was the only thing I needed to see before I immediately turned towards the unknown variable in all of this. "I don't know why you're here, Lady Bloodmoon," I could only watch as Love drew her bow and aimed squarely at my one-time savior. "But I could only assume the worst in regards to your reputation." My eyes widened as my body prepped itself for a potential fight again. It might not be that dire, seeing as Arya was rather forthcoming about her allegiances in hindsight. But in the end, I still didn't know her while apparently, she knew everything about me. It was just com
The Least Common Denominator XXXIV.VI Arc
Uhhhhhhhhhhh......*rrrrrooooooaaaaghghhhhghhh......*Under the dim light of the midnight moon, the creature's face looked far from the regal majesty that its body movements can portray. With its bottom fangs extending up towards what appeared to be its nostril-snout... thingy... the closest animal I could possibly compare to it was an amalgamation of a wild boar and an... anglerfish? The dangling light in front of its forehead was sort of a kicker in all of this, providing a strange blue glow to the creature's face that it somehow looked like it was from the deep sea despite us being as far away from any sort of body of water as humanly possible.*rrrrrroaaghghaghahghahgagh.....*Its throaty grumbles reverberated through my chest as it seemed to be observing us for any sort of movement. Its blue eyes... was it even blu
The Least Common Denominator XXXV.I Null Vector
Sitting in one place at temperatures below freezing wassomething I thought I'd never do in my frigid life. Sure, I've had a lot of experience doing all-nighters what with working as an unpaid intern in a hospital for my medical studies. I didn't like every single minute of it, but it was somewhat nostalgic either way as I was reminded of the days of sitting in some corner of the hospital waiting for shit to happen in the dead of night."H-Huh... Kind of... funny..." I chuckled to myself, my teeth clattering as I rubbed my shoulders for some semblance of warmth.The howling winds outside the shed were pretty much the final progression of the godlike air conditioning present in the labs of a hospital during the graveyard shift. I was such a baller back then; not even wearing a jacket under my lab coat as I braced through the cold like a champ.

*...rrrooooooaghghg?...*A round of chills ravaged the back of my spine as I felt the creature's inquisitive growl reverberate through the flimsy door keeping us separated. I could practically hear the damn thing breathing down the back of my neck as I fought my best to stop shivering too much from the haunting aura seeping through the cracks.Meanwhile, I was still doing my best to wake the twins up with as little to no noise as possible. The howling winds outside were preventing me from leaving the blasted door with just my foot keeping it down; the force of the gales already too intense that even a split second of easing up on my guard would cause the door to fly right open. If this situation didn't improve, or worse, even escalated, the two would be caught off guard by this thing. Not to mention there would literally be no escape for us without the handy dandy power of Lov
The Least Common Denominator XXXV.III Null Vector
With the grace and elegance of a dog running for its fucking life, the three of us delta-splitted like ants cut off from the pack as we went our separate ways in an attempt to establish as much distance between us and the Nulla as possible. I didn't even know where I was headed as I let my legs carry me for as long as they possibly could; the numbness caused by the extreme cold making it difficult to even tell if I was even running properly anymore.*RRROAOAOAGHGH!!!!*Fucking shit!The Nulla let out a terrifying scream behind me as I came into a dark alleyway. I didn't know if Love or Lace made it out okay, but judging from the anger in the monster's tone, I'm guessing that it just gone done eating Love's attack and was now trying to see which one of us to chase. Granted, we all aimed towards the same location to run to, but I could only assume th
The Least Common Denominator Interlude XV: Arya II
Overlooking a part of the city, a lone woman stood in satisfaction as she watched Crimson interact with the twins that the girl had been traveling with for a while. She knew that it was dangerous for her to be this close to the girl that she swore to herself she would protect, but with the way that the said girl was acting, she had no choice but to intervene lest she ended up being a victim to this city's resident anti-robbery system."How predictable that you'd get yourself entangled in this mess~"Arya chuckled to herself as she exerted her power on her own body. Not having a functioning heart had been a novel experience, but with almost two years passing ever since she let herself get stabbed by her former charge, it had become second nature to the former Prime to manually circulate the blood inside her body. It was honestly a blessing in disguise, with the practice enablin
The Least Common Denominator XXXVI.I Imaginary Number
Imagination: one of humanity's greatest weapons second only to reasoning and slightly lower against boredom. As one of the two major ingredients for innovation, the ability to visualize and effectively lie to yourself and to reality inside your head is one of the best things a person could ever have in the face of adversity and lack of stuff to do. When combined with boredom, imagination could supply enough stupid ideas that at least one of them would take root and evolve into a semi-decent one. Granted, even if a stupid idea already became somewhat viable, it was still no guarantee that it would inevitably work as soon as you put your all into it. It'll still be up to Lady Luck if it'll work flawlessly, or if you've just wasted a whole afternoon doing fuck all as it goes down in a hopefully hilarious fashion.That was simply the nature of experimentation."I already told you,
