Added DiffLines:

** [[spoiler: Krieg is shot by Andrea with his own pistol]].
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: After [[spoiler:Kaiser's death]], Krieg wants the Empire-88 to step back and make it clear it had nothing to do with them as an organization, citing there's no way they can come out of the current situation looking good, merely less bad.

* ImprobableAimingSkills: A side-effect of Taylor's dice-based precog powers is the ability to basically make dice she throws do whatever she wants, like getting five dice to stack on top of each other without even looking.

* ImprobableAimingSkills: A side-effect of Taylor's dice-based precog powers is the ability to basically make dice she throws do whatever she wants, like getting five dice to stack on top of each other without even looking. However, she can't simultaneously control their position ''and'' the result, so when she plays Dungeons and Dragons, she has to make trick shots like landing the dice in a tiny designated circle, to ensure she can't fudge the numbers.

* {{Troll}}: When Annette learns about what Janet can do with fine control of water, her first suggestion is to ask Armsmaster questions while steadily increasing the pressure on his bladder and watching him attempt to politely get away to a bathroom. Taylor doesn't want to admit to being amused.
--> It would be a mean and horrible thing to do to Armsmaster. Did it make her a bad person that she now wanted to see it happen?



* WontTakeYesForAnAnswer: When director Piggot offers Alice Takawara/Bakuda a deal to rebrand herself and she agrees Piggot at first assumed that Alice refused.
--> '''Alice''': I'll do it.
--> '''Piggot''': Yeah, thought not. You'll be transported from here—
--> '''Alice''': I said, I'll ''do'' it! I'll rebrand!
--> '''Piggot''': You will?

Added DiffLines:

* NarrativeProfanityFilter: There aren't many healing capes, and the fact that one is a villain (Othala) is enough to convince Director Piggot that the universe has a sick sense of humour. The next on the list, technically, is Bonesaw.
--> Emily's opinion of this fact was obscenely unprintable.

Added DiffLines:

* NotEnoughToBury: Purity's energy blasts can cut through buildings, so a point-blank full power blast to a human doesn't leave much behind.
--> '''Armsmaster:''' … as far as I can tell, they've collected enough pieces to determine that it was indeed [[spoiler:Hookwolf]], and he is indeed dead.
