4%% Mod note: one quote. Others go on the quotes tab.
5
6Imagine you took the world of ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' -- and put it into a very Creator/StudioGainax [[RuleOfCool style direction and narrative]]. With bits that seem to be a mixture of Creator/ChuckPalahniuk's writing mixed with Creator/CoryDoctorow's own style. The result might be close enough to the FanFiction FanFic/PokemonSepia, but only if you also added ''Series/DoctorWho'' into the mix.
7
8The pitch line is that there is a meteor headed on a path to destroy all of Earth. In fact, [[StableTimeLoop it has done so]], [[RubberBandHistory a few times already]]. With the recent death of George Grau, president of Cyren (the Capital region in the nation of Spectrum), Vice-President [[PresidentEvil Jon Weiss]] steps into his shoes as de-facto President, nominating Stephen Schwarz, CEO of a supposed [[MegaCorp Freight Company]], [[PeaceAndLoveIncorporated Rocket Logistics]]. In order to bring about the kind of funding to [[ApocalypseHow stop the Meteor]] headed [[ColonyDrop straight to Earth]], [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong he starts a war]], to justify more militant expenses.
9
10Though, what nobody expects is for Team [[TemporalParadox Temporal]] to appear. Driving [[RubberBandHistory the timeline]], from [[StableTimeLoop The Loop]], into one referred to as The [[LogicBomb Failure]], Team Temporal is mostly just a confused group of teens that just happened to be near by when a city wide genocide occured, an [[AFeteWorseThanDeath enraged Moltres turned on its trainer]] and several buildings exploding. Which only a [[HeroWithBadPublicity minority of them were actually their own fault]]. Things get even weirder when [[EldritchAbomination Daebi/Celetwo]] shows up. A clone of Celebi, with an insatiable capacity and desire to learn. Add a few {{Mad God}}s, [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke genetic engineering]], TimeTravel, computer hacking, corporate espionage, SendInTheClones and you are about halfway through. Somewhat WorldOfWeirdness mostly because WordOfGod says Daebi is modelled after the [[ItAmusedMe Discordian view of Eris]].

14----
15!!This series provides examples of:
16
17%%* ActionGirl: Krystal Spectrum
18* AerithAndBob: A mental glitch people suffer after reading Daemon's Notebook too often. With Samual referring reservation in referring to people of importants by their Daemon's Notebook handle next to other people's normal names.
19%%* AffablyEvil: Everywhere.
20* AGodAmI: Krystal Spectrum (due to being a little too close to a mass psionic incident caused by herself, Lady Kiss Void and Schwartz), Lady Kiss Void, Pearl and Schwatz.
21* AlternateUniverseFic: Considering that they [[ApocalypseWow Destroy The Universe]] to save the universe from [[LogicBomb being destroyed]] this is typically a good assumption.
22%%* AlwaysChaoticEvil: [[spoiler: SealedEvilInACan turns out to be very much this... mostly due to being SealedEvilInACan.]]
23%%* AndIMustScream: Usually the result of ticking off [[EldritchAbomination Daebi/Celetwo]]. Also a result of not wanting to tick off Daebi/Celetwo, as she did invite you to tea. Screaming would be very impolite.
24* ApocalypseHow:
25** Starting with ColonyDrop-caused Class 3 -- Planetary Scale, Species Extinction.
26** Meteor appears to have caused Class 6 -- Planetary Scale, Total Extinction of Organic Life.
27** [[spoiler: The StableTimeLoop is caused by a Class Z (Omniversal Scale, Metaphysical Annihilation), which resulted from the Class 6]].
28** [[spoiler: They end up breaking the StableTimeLoop with a Class Z Logic Bomb.]]
29%%* AssimilationPlot: [[spoiler: What causes the end of all things in the RubberBandHistory.]]
30%%* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: [[EldritchAbomination Celetwo/Daebi]], Fujitsu, several of the writers at times.
31%%* AxCrazy
32* BackFromTheDead: Arguably [[EldritchAbomination Daebi/Celetwo]]'s puppeteering of [[TheDragon Perfection]]. Though Daebi/Celetwo does have access to a TimeAbyss so it is hard to say, really.
33** In [[IDontLikeThesoundOfThatPlace Miasma Forest]] [[spoiler: The President of Attara Television Station finds he is alive again, and takes the {{pseudonym}} Wehc Notselrahc.]]
34%%* BadassBookworm: Krystal.
35%%* BadassLongcoat: Max, a required part of his gangster attire.
36* BadassNormal: Roy, Wehc, Fuschia, Lavender, and pretty much any other average Joe who [[TookALevelInBadass finds their way into Team Temporal]].
37%%* TheBaroness: Lady Kiss Void fills this. Right up to the more Lesbian type traits.
38%%* BeatTheCurseOutOfHim: Present in Krystal Spectrum going Shadow
39%%* BenevolentBoss: Stoenn Spectrum, Leader, Samuel Oak
40* BerserkButton:
41** Sepia gets slavery / pretty much anything which can be seen as a violation of human rights.
42** Celadon gets her sister.
43** Lady Kiss Void gets anyone she risk becoming close to.
44** Roy's Ego has improper handling of Pokemon as one... and cruel behaviour to Krystal Spectrum

48%%** Birds: Samuel Oak.

54%%* BreakTheCutie: Krystal Spectrum going Shadow.
55* BrideAndSwitch: Roy and Krystal [=MacKealan=]... er... [[BrotherSisterIncest Roy and Constance MacKealan]]. At least [[DudeNotFunny a legal name change is not needed]] here.
56* BrokenBird: Lady Kiss Void due to attempted controls on her person Perfection attempted to put into place on her creation. Lady Kiss Void becomes TheStarscream because of these controls.
57* BrotherSisterIncest : Inverted. Used to [[DudeNotFunny torment Roy]] after a case of BrideAndSwitch with Krystal Spectrum and Roy's Sister.
58* CapturedSuperEntity: While the exact nature of how it was done is not entirely known. Rocket Logistics somehow [[spoiler: captures Daebi/Celetwo]] and uses her to bring Deoxys to the world all while causing the Kanto Incident one year prior.
59%%* CasualTimeTravel: Something that Daebi/Celetwo does.
60* CerebusSyndrome: Starts off fairly light... then by the end of Hounds it just is frighteningly depressing, scary and dark.
61%%* ChandlersLaw: Usually punctuated with Lady Kiss Void
62%%* ChekhovsGun: The Kanto Incident
63%%* TheChessMaster: Schwartz, Lady Kiss Void, Perfection, Origin, Mewtwo and arguably, Daebi/Celetwo ([[spoiler:until she gets checkmated fatally]]).

65%%* ColdBloodedTorture: Daebi/Celetwo opts for this, after she is killed.
66* CombatCommentator: Ego tends to start narrating out loud, and very abrasively every now and then. With the others near by ([[NotSoImaginaryFriend who are aware of him]]) telling him to shut up.
67* CombatReferee: Mr. Stringy Shirt... shows up exactly once. During the Awesome Land Gym Battle.
68%%* CombatStilettos: Justified by the fact Krystal Spectrum levitates. Otherwise she'd never do it.
69%%* CombatTentacles: During Roy and Constance [=MacKealan's=] [[{{Squick}} Honeymoon]]
70%%* CoolAirship: The Vermillion.
71%%* CoolShades: Everybody in Team Network.

77%%* CuttingTheKnot: A common solution of Team Temporal at times.
78%%* DarkIsNotEvil: Fujitsu, Darkrai and Darktsu.
79%%* DarkMagicalGirl: Lady Kiss Void... which leads to {{Yandere}} which leads to AxCrazy which leads to being TheStarscream. Also, this is why [[EvilKnockOff Lady Kiss Void]] seems to never enter into play with [[ActionGirl Krystal Spectrum]]
80%%* DarkMessiah: Lady Kiss Void
81%%* TheDeadHaveNames: Mixed with BuryYourGays [[CastFullOfGay every now and then]].
82%%* DeadPersonImpersonation: Part of why Lady Kiss Void appears.
83%%* DeathByOriginStory : Zigzagged... [[spoiler: Lady Kiss Void only LetsGetDangerous after MoralityChain is killed]]
84%%* DenOfIniquity:
85%%** Subverted... unless you call Foozball particularly evil.
86%%** Zigzaged with [[TokenLesbian Lady Kiss Void]] having a SafeSaneAndConsensual set up. For her and her pet human.
87%%* DiabolusExNihilo: Daegre during the last battle.
88%%* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: Pretty much anytime Daebi/Celetwo shows up. Often very literally.
89* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu:
90** Maximillion wins a fight with a God of Spacial Dimensions... in the God's own pocket dimension.
91** The appearance of any legendary Pokemon also fits the trope, given that the Great Chain of Being that gets established puts Legendaries above anything not available en masse, including humans.
92%%* DisproportionateRetribution: [[ChandlersLaw Punctuated by Lady Kiss Void]]
93%%* DoNotTauntCthulhu: The cause of Perfection's inevitable fate
94%%* DoomedNewClothes: Krystal Spectrum grabs a new outfit in every town she is in, because of this.
95%%* {{Doppelganger}}: Lady Kiss Void to Krystal Spectrum.
96%%* DragonWithAnAgenda: Perfection.
97* DrFeelgood: Krystal Spectrum is on the [[ClearMyName run from the authorities]], and gets shot by Perfection. This was who they got to patch her up. She chose extreme pain instead of addiction.
98%%* DudeShesLikeInAComa: Krystal Spectrum's reaction to [[EldritchAbomination Daebi/Celetwo]]'s ColdBloodedTorture of [[DragonWithAnAgenda Perfection]]
99%%* TheEighties: Inverted, story takes place in the 1980s, and part of Krystal Spectrum's personal hell, was an overdose of this trope played straight in a fiction in the fiction.
100* EldritchAbomination: Daebi/Celetwo, a genetially engineered monstrosity that decided the time line is her own [[TimeAbyss personal play ground]]
101%%** Roy's Slowking "Waffles" (AKA "Mr. Popo") fits into this nicely
102%%* EldritchLocation: The Orchards where Daebi/Celetwo [[DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu hosts her tea parties]] with Pachirisu.
103%%* EliteMooks: The Kult of Kiss and The Daemon Army both under Lady Kiss Void
104%%* EmptyShell: Perfection after his VillainousBreakDown (don't worry about him though, he ticked off [[EldritchAbomination Daebi/Celetwo]] so he still is [[PeoplePuppet up and walking]]. He also has killer scone recipe you just have to try.)
105* EnemyCivilWar: TheStarscream vs. The Elite Four vs. Rocket Logistics vs. [[HeroWithBadPublicity Team Temporal]] vs. [[TheMenInBlack Team Temporal]] vs. [[EldritchAbomination Daebi/Celetwo]] it kind of is the whole of the story at times.
106%%* EpiphanicPrison: What Krystal is stuck in, while going Shadow
107%%** Again, FanFic/PokemonSepia's explaination for Pokemon Trozei!
108* ETGaveUsWifi: The Daemon's Notebook was handed to Krystal at the age of five by [[EldritchAbomination Daebi/Celetwo]] with technologies not invented yet, to try to boost the situation.
109%%* EvilOnlyHasToWinOnce: See EnemyCivilWar above.
110* EvilTowerOfOminousness: Rocket Logistics Headquarters. Started popping up when [[AWolfInSheepsClothing Lady Kiss Void]] [[spoiler: did not want her picture taken]], but was running a PropragandaMachine.
111%%* EverybodysDeadDave: When [[EldritchAbomination Daebi/Celetwo]] takes Team Temporal AfterTheEnd.
112%%* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: A normal result for having a GenkiGirl who is TheCutie present in the plot. It eventually ends later on.
113* EvilKnockOff: Zigzagged with [[DarkMagicalGirl Lady Kiss Void]] for [[ActionGirl Krystal Spectrum]]. Mostly via application of CloneAngst early on, and [[{{Doppelganger}} Lady Kiss Void]] deciding she does not WANT to be Krystal Spectrum.
114* EvolvingWeapon: The Pokemon to a certain extent. Krystal was using her Starmie, Espeon and Roselia as ways to augment her personal self... when she was coating herself in stopal to deal with Perfection's gun shot wound.
115%%* FantasticAesop: Inverted. [[TimeTravel Time Travel Lemon Twist]] II to be specific.
116%%** Also Zigzagged on TimeTravel I a fair amount.
117%%* TheFarmerAndTheViper: [[spoiler: Part of the big change made to Lady Kiss Void to have her sacrifice herself.]]
118%%* FauxAffablyEvil: Perfection, Lady Kiss Void, Daebi/Celetwo.
119%%* AFeteWorseThanDeath: Being fed to Moltres.
120* FetishizedAbuse:
121** Celetwo/Daebi and Lady Kiss Void are abusive yet portrayed in a sexualized manner.
122%%* GadgeteerGenius: Kystal Spectrum.
123%%* GainaxEnding: What the end may be considered, if you have not been paying attention.
124%%* Gainaxing: The literal equivalent of it, anyways. With all the SexTropes that are salted around this story.
125%%* GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke: Explanation for the Aspects.
126%%* GeniusLoci: The [[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace Miasma Forest]]
127* GenkiGirl: Krystal Spectrum until about of a third way through. The events kind of took the GenkiGirl's energy out of her.
128%%** Saffron (who is dead by the end of the first chapter).
129* GodIsEvil: Played straight AND inverted, when it turns out that the six Pokemon described as 'Gods' are pretty evenly split into good and bad.
130%%* GoMadFromTheRevelation How Daebi/Celetwo ended up becoming an EldritchAbomination.
131%%* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: Krystal Spectrum has some from her Psionic Armour. She just rarely uses them after the [[DoomedNewClothes outfit was destroyed.]]
132%%** StatoVision: Battery Power, messages, health levels, shadow states.
133%%** XRayVision
134%%** Biological Information

140%%** The Daemon Army's home.
141%%** The Engine Room of the Jirachi-7.
142%%** Probably Krystal Spectrum's lab north of Cerulean City in Kanto (which is why people thought the Jirachi-7 parts were natural after [[ChekhovsGunman the Kanto Incident.]])
143%%* HalfHumanHybrid: The Aspects.
144* {{Hallucinations}}: Constant makes a reference to being a Mankey then Primeape the VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon series. Blaming it on lack of oxygen to her brain.
145%%* TheHedonist: Lady Kiss Void.
146%%* HeroicBSOD: When [[BreakTheCutie Krystal Goes Shadow.]]
147%%* HeroicSafeMode: At least once per chapter.

149%%* HighlyConspicuousUniform: What Lady Kiss Void is running around for most of the series wearing.
150%%* HiveQueen: Lady Kiss Void for The Kult of Kiss.
151%%* HobbesWasRight: Mixed in with HumansAreMorons.
152* HollywoodHacking: Zigzagged. Krystal worked on most of the technology--and it was not up to 100% at the start.
153** Lady Kiss Void and the Daemon Army screwed this up... a glitch involving "removing use of a program from the log file" which had certain programs deleted after they appeared in the log file. [[spoiler: resulting in a lot of people stuck in The Pokemon Box at the end of Dragons Arc]]
154%%* IdenticalGrandparent: Hinted [[ShoutOut with]] [[Series/RedDwarf Kochanski]] Spectrum. Who is listed as the {{Ouroboros}} in [[TimelineAlteringMacGuffin Daemon's Notebook]]
155%%* IControlMyMinionsThrough:
156%%** Fear: Lady Kiss Void
157%%** [[AGodAmI Godhood]]: Deoxys, [[spoiler: Lady Kiss Void.]]
158%%** Kindness: Schwartz, Weiss, Samuel
159%%** Love: Lady Kiss Void

162%%* IDontLikeTheSoundofThatPlace: Quite a few names of the locations they visit
163%%* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Krystal Spectrum going shadow
164%%** Which adds for [[MessianicArchetype odd implications for Roy's Ego]].
165%%* ImpracticallyFancyOutfit: A fair amount of Krystal Spectrum's DoomedNewClothes.
166%%** Commented on when in [[SpellMyNameWithAThe The Box]].
167%%* IndyPloy
168%%* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Krystal Spectrum... but she got better.
169* InsaneEqualsViolent: Subverted. Usually the really insane people are the least violent. The sane ones usually go violent when hit with too much stress, a BerserkButton or what not.
170** Daebi/Celetwo never attacks anything directly.
171** Lady Kiss Void again, never actually gets physical in her {{Yandere}} tendancies
172** Perfection [[spoiler:shoots Krystal Spectrum]] to try to stall the madness. After his madness hits, he merely starts shouting about Trozie!, the Phoebos Battlion while waving the gun around. Followed by EmptyShell status.
173%%* InSpiteOfANail [[spoiler: How the universe fixes itself.]]
174%%* ItAmusedMe Ego and Daebi/Celetwo
175* KickTheDog:
176%%** Deoxys and Lady Kiss Void have a few of these moments.
177** Lady Kiss Void pushes the ill girl out of her bed, when waking up next to her.
178%%* KillAllHumans
179%%* LadyOfWar: Lavender.
180* LawEnforcementInc : Zigzagged. Most of the Police appears owned by Rocket Logistics... or completely controlled. Until [[spoiler: investigators started noticing that Team Temporal's profiles did not match their acts.]] Making them suspicious of Rocket Logistics.
181%%* LawOfConservationOfNormality: This story takes place on WorldOfWeirdness during TheEighties.
182%%* LensmanArmsRace: Part of how SerialEscalation occurs
183%%* LesbianVampire: These are implicit on Lady Kiss Void's early actions around her pet human, Jezibelle
184%%* LetsGetDangerous: Krystal when transitioning from TheCutie to ActionGirl.
185* LittleMissBadass: Celadon. In a fit of rage, Celadon nearly slaughters a Charizard.
186%%* LivingBodysuit: How Daebi/Celetwo started moving around in places she probably should not. Her name? [[{{Pseudonym}} Dr. Debbie P.]] He makes the most lovely scones too!
187* LotusEaterMachine:
188%%** Krystal Spectrum during the time she goes shadow.
189** Pokemon Sepia's explanation for Pokemon Trozei! (Which Perfection gets trapped in--albeit with Daebi puppeting his comatose body around. When the [[ResetButton Reset]] occurs, the puppeteering from a temporal being is arguably one of the few things to not be erased).
190* MachiavelliWasWrong : Shwartz ends up with his TheDragon nearly going TheStarscream, TheBaroness actually going TheStarscream and posing a good threat. The EldritchAbomination that TheDragon and TheBaroness worked on as the last resort attack not wanting to follow him (The EldritchAbomination not wanting to bother with TheBaroness or TheDragon), and his own admins not want to follow him any more. His solution was to try to remove free will to question his orders.
191* MadeOfExplodium : Stoenn Spectrum says this, when describing Krystal's Daemon Balls--which were presented as a fix to the Pokeball malfunctions. These balls do nothing to catch monsters - they merely explode upon use. Which may lead to WildMassGuessing as to the REAL origins of Voltorb.
192%%* MadGod:
193%%** Daebi/Celetwo
194%%** Arceus
195%%** Origin
196%%** Deoxys
197%%** [[spoiler: Lady Kiss Void]]
198%%* MaliciousSlander: How the [[HeroWithBadPublicity HeroesWithBadPublicity]] goes into effect.
199* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Krystal Spectrum to both Roy [=MacKaelan=] and Fujitsu.
200** Krystal's daughter from the future to Fujitsu
201* MasterOfIllusion: Lady Kiss Void, Leader, Team Network, Daebi/Celetwo, Krystal Spectrum, Private Dwayne Spectrum and many others.
202%%** The ending of Pokemon Sepia, and various events in the adventures continuing to follow Sepia put a bit of a SchrodingersButterfly onto Lady Kiss Void as far as MasterOfIllusion
203* MergedReality: Two. One being the driving purpose of story, and the other in the form of Pewter's construction of the Pokemon Box as a fully functioning world inside a computer.
204%%* MesACrowd:
205%%** The Daemon Army for Lady Kiss void.
206%%** [[spoiler:Then the Screaming Dead in Gods and Self]]
207* TheMenInBlack: Team Network, and played straight. While not an enemy, they are allied more to information dispersal, than anything else.
208%%* AMillionIsAStatistic: Zigzagged... but quite present.
209%%* MindProbe:
210%%** Lady Kiss Void does this compulsively.
211%%** Hari did this to watch Krystal Spectrum's and Royal [=MacKealan's=] Mental Health.
212%%* MindRape: Mostly as BlackComedyRape to achieve a DudeNotFunny.
213%%* MoleInCharge: [[spoiler: Lady Kiss Void does this to take over Titan Co.]]

215%%* NeatFreak: Leader and Perfection
216%%* NerdGlasses: Fuschia
217%%* NeverTheSelvesShallMeet:
218%%** Ends up [[spoiler: nearly killing Krystal Spectrum]] in the end of the Titans Arc.
219%%** In the same Arc it is how [[spoiler: Schwartz hijacks Deoxys' body]]
220%%* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Often times Daebi/Celetwo. Othertimes, Waffles and Roy.
221* NoEqualOpportunityTimeTravel: Daebi/Celetwo [[spoiler: sends Team Temporal to a past where humans are not welcome in amongst the Pokemon]]
222%%* NonLinearCharacter: [[spoiler: Mewvander/Mewtwo.]]
223* NoPeriodsPeriod: Krystal Spectrum... who is pregnant one and a half times over the plot. [[spoiler: Palkia creates a pocket dimension two years in the future for Roy. So Roy could view his Wedding... and bait Roy into giving the lifeless doll to be Krystal in the Pocket Dimension the soul of his sister, to Squink Roy big time. That technically counts as half a pregnancy for Krystal.]]
224** Though the pregnancy during the final battle arc, it is revealed she just doesn't talk about it with others (and may possibly be on birth control that limits how this time affects her over all).
225%%* NotSoImaginaryFriend: Ego, Conscious/Constant (lil' c), Id and Logic.
226%%* NotWhatISignedOnFor: Samuel Oak's reason for resignation.
227%%* OfCorsetsSexy

235%%* ThePlan: Roughly The end of the Titans chapter was the result of an elaborate one
236%%* PlantPerson: Daebi/Celetwo is this.
237%%* PlayboyBunny: Krystal Spectrum runs around in an outfit like this as her third set of DoomedNewClothes.
238%%* PlayingWithPuppets: Celetwo/Daebi's revenge on Perfection
239* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: Often the result of ClothingDamage and WardrobeMalfunction... all too often targeting [[TheCutie Krystal Spectrum]]
240* ThePlotReaper:
241** Lady Kiss Void [[spoiler: Is moved to TheStarscream after the SycophanticServant / MoralityChain dies.]]
242** [[spoiler: Gym Leader Nick ends up dying. Which explains in a FridgeBrilliance sense how Krystal Spectrum was wondering around his gym so easily.]]
243** Daebi/Celetwo [[spoiler: dies to help break SealedEvilInACan out of its home... and causes the Kanto Incident a year prior. She got better, BackFromTheDead ]]
244** [[spoiler: Wehc is the dead president of Attara Television Station.]]
245* PocketDimension: Each member of Team Temporal gets put into one of these as their private hell.
246%%** [[GadgeteerGenius Krystal Spectrum]] mentions this as part of why her Daemon Ball [[MadeOfExplodium Exploded]]
247%%* PokemonSpeak: The Pokemon, they do it. Except a few [[EldritchAbomination notable few]]
248%%* PsychicPowers: A fair amount of the stories characters have these.
249* PsychicStatic: Hari comments this is actually part of Krystal Spectrum's Psychic Signature that is trackable.
250%%* PsychoLesbian: Lady Kiss Void becomes this
251%%* PropagandaMachine: Rocket Logistics had one for them
252* PunnyName the entire Spectrum Family is named after solid rock like substances. Krystal Spectrum, Stoenn Spectrum, Minerval Spectrum, Private Dwayne Spectrum, etc.
253* RankScalesWithAsskicking: Inverted. By the time the final big bad is running around, TheStarScream is already near his equal, as are several members of Team Temporal.
254%%* RareCandy:
255%%** Fujitsu uses one on his Pokemon.
256%%** Krystal Spectrum, at one point has a cloud of them swarming around her. Rather than using them to power up, she just pelted enemies with the cloud of them, for a DeathOfAThousandCuts type win.
257%%* RealityWarper: The local EldritchAbomination Daebi/Celetwo does this every now and again.
258%%* RedShirt: Parodied in the Dragons: Universe section. With Krystal being the only one to be concerned. With Sepia being savvy to suggest they come along.
259%%* ReferenceOverdosed: Roy's Ego kind of gets sick of it, part of the way through the second chapter.
260%%* TheRenfield: Jezibelle to Lady Kiss Void
261* RichardNixonTheUsedCarSalesman: "When you could make it so that Ronald Reagan ruled Soviet Russia, as the greatest communist leader of all time, as easily as I could... well, you really cannot. So that is why I don't take orders from you." "Who is Ronald Reagan?"
262* RoomFullOfCrazy: The Boss Fight room for Lady Kiss Void [[spoiler:which is a mausoleum to [[Yandere her Pet]] ]]
263%%* RousseauWasRight: Pretty much everybody in the story applies to this. It is what allows Lady Kiss Void to go Yandere then TheStarscream.
264%%* SafeSaneAndConsensual: Any of the more kinking acts between Lady Kiss Void and her pet human tended to demonstrate elements of this. Working as rather zig zagged usage of BondageIsBad since the characters doing this stuff for events glimpsed "on camera" were villains.
265%%* SanitySlippage: We call that character development
266%%* SailorFuku: Lady Kiss Void's Pet wears one. Likely because Lady Kiss Void has a fetish for it.
267%%* SaveThisPersonSaveTheWorld: Played nearly straight on Vermillion
268* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: Inverted as Lady Kiss Void usually is dressed fairly sensible. Whereas Krystal Spectrum has gotten [[{{Stripperiffic}} other comments]] on her outfits.
269%%* SexyJester: Celetwo/Daebi.
270%%* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: Mocked in one of the end chapter Omakes. Lady Kiss Void's pet human seems to run round in hers a lot however.
271* ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers:
272%%** Lady Kiss Void, Schwartz, Krystal Spectrum, Roy [=MacKealan=] (lesser amount).
273** Daebi/Celetwo operates under the rules of Dialga (whom she refers to not wanting to tick off a few times) and still will do what she can to not only create Temporal Paradoxes--but even wander around Timelines she is not even suppose to exist in.
274%%* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Stoenn Spectrum, Schwartz, Weiss, Origin, the Conduit, Arcesu, Deoxys amongst others.%%ZCE
275%%* SeenItAll:%%"Type whichever" is not context.

297* TimelineAlteringMacGuffin: Daebi/Celetwo hands this to a young Krystal Spectrum to try to TemporalParadox history enough.

327%%* WhyWontYouDie: The source of Perfections' VillainousBreakDown
328* AWolfInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: Lady Kiss Void pretended to be Stoenn Spectrum after Rocket Logistics took over. Citing grave errors in Rocket Logistics take over--that Titan Co. must return to "his" control. She pulled this while in her HighlyConspicuousUniform without anybody noticing too FlatWhat.]]
