| Identity Acquisition | You're getting an 'F', end of story. No, I don't accept appeals. |
| Morning Greeting | It's only morning. Keep it down. |
| Afternoon Greeting | This won't do. This won't do at all. Haah... Why don't we go out for some air? I just seem to lose all momentum at this time of day. |
| Evening Greeting | None of us are going to sleep until we deal with this task, understood? I don't care if we have to work through the night—just get it done. |
| Chatter #1 | Now, brief me on your capabilities. 'Command' and 'consultations'...? I... okay. I see. Still, contribute as much as you are able to the production of this work. We're doing a group project—I won't accept any freeloaders. |
| Chatter #2 | We wear white not because we're stupid and don't know that it stains easily. We wear white because clothes stained with all kinds of color at the end of the grueling artistic process is, in of itself, a piece of art that deserves appreciation. |
| Chatter #3 | As a rule, one out of five participants in most group projects are unsalvageable scum who have nothing to contribute to the team effort. Going by that rule, I bet this group has at least two or three such members. |
| Post-Uptie Chat 1 | There are more 'dots' to this world than the ones drawn with a brush. A hole. A wound. A gaze. Barbed wires. The possibilities are endless. |
| Post-Uptie Chat 2 | You there, wait. Stand still. Hm... would you allow me to puncture three little holes in your heart? I must say, it should make for a rather fascinating— ... Why are they running? Team! Get over here and seize them, stat! |
| Idle | Are your eyes glazing over? Focus. |
| Uptying | Do you understand the allure of contours of light and shadow? The beauty born from countless collections of dots? No? Then allow me to enlighten you. |
| Deployment | If you wish to have me on your team, then the rest of the group better be up to my standards. |
| Stage Entry | Gather around, everyone. It's time to discuss our project. |
| Viewed in Battle | I'm still in the conceptualization phase. Be quick about it. |
| Commencing Attack | A sound opinion. Let's go with that. |
| Enemy Stagger | The rough sketch is complete. Now be quick and paint over it. |
| Staggered | Agh... |
| Enemy Killed | This artwork is complete. Let us critique it once we return. |
| Death | I should've gotten... better teammates... |
| Check Passed | I expect that our group project will receive a commendable review. And it's all thanks to me. |
| Check Failed | ... Such tribulations are but an expected part of pursuing the path of art. |
| Victory Cry | I'll give this performance a 'B'. Not bad, not great. |
| Extra Conditions Fulfilled | A+. What an artful battle that was. |
| Defeat Wail | If you consider this mess you call 'command' an art... then I have to flunk you. |

Incorrect. The use of Pointillism techniques will greatly reinforce this area. Going by the Fauvists' methodology, as you have suggested, would give far too little detail on the left side of the frame. What, is your tasteless animal mask blurring your vision? Is it so hard to see that your technique will make the final piece imbalanced?
Is that all you can glean from the striking use of primary colors? I should've known better than to expect even an ounce of nuance from a dotting machine of the Pointillists.
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
A dotting machine? Hah. We depict the flow of light without letting garish colors and overcomplicated lines crowd the image. It is not mechanical; it is merely rational.
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
The exquisite rendering of depth... I daresay that our philosophy embodies what constitutes true artistry.
This is a rather common sight among the members of the Ring.
While this collaborative effort certainly allowed for more communication between them and made room for new inspirations and positive feedback...
... to be a part of the Ring is to be prideful. These conversations rarely did ever end amicably.
Fine. Let's talk about 'depth', then. Wouldn't you say that the works of us Cubists, which seek to incorporate and hold the three-dimensionality within a single gaze, far surpass anything that your faction could come up with in that regard?
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
Fine. I'll admit that there is a certain 'depth' to Cubist art.
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
But such unmitigated deconstruction of your subjects... now that brings with it quite the unintuitiveness, doesn't it?
The child's taunts kicked the proverbial hornet's nest; the atelier quickly turned into a chaotic mess.
A chaotic mess of indignant and intense arguments about the artistic and technical superiority of each of their factions.
In the midst of that chaos, the Fauvist from earlier suddenly asked the child a rather pointed question.
... So you claim that... 'Pointillism' art stands above that of every other faction? Is that it?
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
... I believe that you are misrepresenting the severity of my assertions.
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
In truth, my belief is that the work of each Maestro is incomparable to one another in their ineffable profoundness, regardless of which faction they represent. I wouldn't even dare to discuss the notion of objective superiority of one art over the other.
The child added the last bit in an effort to douse the flames she started.
After all... this was a group project. She had to work with people from other factions to complete this task.
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
I merely suggested that we make use of our technique as we worked on the rough sketch of our project. I meant no disrespect to the other factions.
…….
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
Besides... our deadline is coming up, and these unproductive arguments are costing us precious time. We don't want to miss the deadline, do we?
Right. I don't even want to think about what'd happen...
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
Good, we're in agreement. Then we should at least get through the rough sketch first. All of you! Quit gawking and return to your positions! Let's get it done.
If there was one thing everyone in the room agreed on... it was that they did NOT want to miss the deadline. They all quickly returned to their seats, lightly trembling from the sheer thought of the consequences.
It was a pretty weak defense, but it was precisely what she needed to say to divert people away from this argument.
After all, it was true that they didn't have much time to complete the task. Failing to meet the deadline would be... extremely unpleasant, to say the least.
Besides, she had other responsibilities to attend to, aside from this particular task.
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
... Next.
She isn't always the 'student' getting her work graded.
Her other responsibility was to grade the shabby 'artwork' of countless civilians who crowded to be under the Ring's protection.
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
Haaah... This isn't art. This is nothing more than a bloody mess. I can't even tell what you were trying to do here.
N-no! Please, look closer. There's...
The child reached out and wiped the blood off the artwork with her hand.
Once the wet blood was wiped clean, she could see the painting the civilian drew using his own blood.
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
Did you really think that this uninspired garbage would earn you the protection of the Ring?
Please... p-please... This is literally all I...
The child spits heartlessly at the civilian, who could barely stand due to severe anemia.
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
I won't hear any more excuses. I'm failing you.
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
... For the third time.
The civilian's face turned even paler. He knew the consequences of failing for the third time.
First failure: a warning. Second failure: withdrawal of the Ring's protection.
And third failure...
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
Any last words?
I-I'll paint over it! Please, I can improve it! Just give me a chance—
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
Oh, you're going to 'paint over' this art you presented before me as complete? I don't need to waste any more time on someone who doesn't even have an ounce of pride for their own work.
The child picked up the large weapon she had left leaning on the wall, and slowly brought it toward the civilian who was sobbing and screaming with terror.
It needn't be said that the civilian was never seen nor heard from again.
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
Next.
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
... Hm. Not bad. I see some potential there. I'll give you a C+.
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you...!
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
What's this now? You made a sculpture with your son's amputated arms? How bland.
She rarely ever takes more than 10 seconds to review and grade each submission.
Of course, many protest her quick evaluations, but...
... all she can think about is her own unfinished task waiting for her back at the atelier. She had to get this business over with as soon as possible.
Perhaps the civilian standing in line felt the child's cold gaze.
The civilian holds his amputated son in his arms and awaits the child's assessment. His eyes are shut tight in terrified anticipation.
And the child's judgment... was as merciless as the civilian had expected.
오티스 : The Ring Pointillist Student
Failing grade.
