[Nia has a knack for Borderlines, a real knack, because when you get right down to it, they're just like manipulating ether, really, except you usually leave them around for longer so you've got to be prepared for the concentration that takes. Not really a big deal, not to her, now that she's had a little practice. So today Nia's gonna push her limits.]
[She slashes with one hand, yanking up a Borderline next to her, then twists in place to bring her other arm forward in the same gesture.] Line! [A second one springs up as the first one falls, though this one isn't quite at the angle she intended -- but hey, it'll do in a fight, which is where she'd need this, right?]
[The Borderline falls as she lets them go, and then she sweeps her hands back behind her, then brings both of them forward so her extended fingers meet right before her.] Line! [The call brings up two walls that form a V, protection for her front and sides.]
[Nia holds it, appraises this protection for a second, then lifts her voice to call out in that thick accent of hers.] Hey, someone try and smash these or something. I need to know how much they can take!
Let the Driver Drive (closed to Shizuo)
Look, I just want to help out against those ayakashi things, and I think you're underselling me.
[Having at last managed to pin down Shizuo through stubbornness and not a little luck, Nia faces him with crossed arms and more than a little awkwardness. She's still mad and he knows she's still mad and she knows he knows that, and she doesn't know how to tell him that it's not him she's mad at and have her believe him.]
I can't just stand around and let them threaten people, especially kids, and we're the only ones who can really stop them, right? A god and shinki working together, I mean. So if you'd at least... try it out a little...
[Okay, this is really awkward. Sometimes Nia wishes she was a little less... her. Might make everyone's life a little easier...]
Physical Challenge
[After that... exhausting diversion with her Driver -- err, god -- Nia hasn't got any energy left to fight. Instead, she's purloined a long spear from the training weapons, and is using it to prod a ball tucked into the joint of two support beams.] Ah, there we go. Almost got -- uh-oh.
[The ball pops free with a little more force than she intended, plummeting downwards, and all Nia can do is throw up a hand and look away so she doesn't have to see it clock someone on the head.]
