* HilariousInHindsight: ''Implacable Phase'' had Implacable!Taylor complain that, unlike Fanfic/JustAPhase!Taylor, she couldn't just call the Youth Guard on the Protectorate.



* InnocentlyInsensitive: In "In the Wind: Squaring Accounts", Flechette happily tells Pisces that Legend wants to take her to New York, not realizing that Taylor is mourning her father's death and that she's completely burnt out, nevermind that Flechette did not choose the best way to tell her the news.

** Helena Troy also has at least one moment with each Ward she interviews in chapter 8, except Gallant- when Aegis mentions he's the one doing Wards assignments, when Clockblocker mentions Aegis works overtime regularly, when Kid Win mentions he's not seeing his Tinker Mentor (Armsmaster) regularly, when Shadow Stalker [[spoiler: gets herself arrested mid-interview]], and when Vista mentions off-hand that Piggot passes her fines onto the Wards by docking their pay for infractions.



** Aegis, Clockblocker, Gallant, Kid Win, and Vista after [[spoiler: Wards ENE is disbanded by the Youth Guard]].

* ExtremelyEasyExam: To legally hinder the PRT from making her participate in the Wards program, Taylor manages to fail the exam required for Wards to be certified for patrols. The exam is open-book and considered by everyone to be a mere formality -- Vista passed without difficulty on her first try at age eleven -- but technically it's still a requirement, so Taylor exploits it.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: The exam that allows Wards to become certified for patrols and detainment is open book. Taylor deliberately flunks the exam. She also likes to "get lost", claiming she doesn't know the PRT building.

** Glory Girl when she realizes Taylor cannot discuss her Trigger Event due to being barred from talking about ongoing PRT investigations.

investigations. What that means in practice is that since the PRT is supposedly investigating the crimes committed against Pisces, she is not able to properly take action to protect herself from her alleged attacker, such as, for example, ''not being placed on the same team''. And Glory Girl's mother is a lawyer, so she has some idea of how messed up that is.
