5th Record ｢Entrances & Exits｣
[ Action : Sundown : Open ]
[ If one looks upward during twilight tonight, they might pick out an unusual celestial body high in the sky. It isn't a star, or a moon, or a UFO of any sort. But a few hundred or so feet above downtown Mayfield one can spy a bright pink circle of light hovering there, the circular pattern rotating slowly. Staff at the ready, Nanoha is standing on that circle, wearing her Barrier Jacket and channeling magical energy from a source directly below her on the ground. Her friend, Hayate, stands by with her Tome of the Night Sky at the ready, acting as a sort of living battery for the other woman.
But this isn't a magical attack, though it might look like one. For one hour, every fifteen minutes on the dot, Nanoha scatters streaks of magical energy all around her. These "shots" bounce from roof to roof, stretching out until they hit the barriers of Mayfield that loop back around to themselves. Each time the shot lands, it dissipates completely. Bardiche aids this effort by acting as a co-processor for the search, the golden badge clipped to Nanoha's lapel, but even with the three forces at work here, the information returned is... far from conclusive. ]
[ After the hour is up, Nanoha is strained from channeling the spell for such a long time, and though she wants to continue she realizes that there is nothing more to do right now. She dispels the circle and floats down to the ground. When she lands (a short distance away from her starting point) she looks tired and, above all, frustrated. ]
[ Phone : Evening : Drone Filter ]
In light of the recent... glitches... I have been trying to find a weakness in the border of the town. Has anyo— [ There is a jingle and a clank, Nanoha's voice cut off because the base of the phone just fell through the stand it was on and clattered to the floor. Nanoha sighs. ]
If anyone can provide me with any constructive observations of their own, I would appreciate them. I don't think we can afford to waste time in finding a possible exit. I can offer my own data in return.
((OOC: The magic moves fast, so it could be easily missed. It is not hostile and will dissipate on contact with any flying vessel or individual contact, and will not make the same exact pass twice. Could still spook someone, though!))

She frowns a little, when she notices her look of frustration.]
What's wrong?

Were you able to find anything at all? If so, that will help. Every little bit does.

⌈Data synchronization is complete. ⌋ [ Meaning all of them now had access to the same recordings, and could analyze them independently. ]
no subject
So what has the data been able to tell you so far?

The sky is... even stranger. I can fly as far as I want, but I never gain altitude. The air does continue to thin. [ Now THAT doesn't make sense. ]
no subject
Do you think it be too risky if we tried shooting a spell straight up? From what you're saying, it seems like the barrier in the sky works differently, so there's a chance it might react differently if we attacked that versus the edges of town.
no subject
I'll want something with a little more punch before I try that. [ Because if she's going to pour a lot of magic into such a tactic, she might as well go for broke. In this case, literally breaking whatever it was that limited their ascent. No one limits the sky like this; not on her watch. ]
no subject
Maybe we should wait until we both regain some more powerful spells. [She grins a little.] The power of two mages combined will have much more kick than just one attack, right?

[She chuckles.] Just like old times, right? [You know, before people began to realize it was too catastrophic to have them all out on the battlefield at once without limiters.]
