[ Nanoha's been feeling awful the past three days or so, and this isn't helping. This definitely isn't helping. The pounding in her head has been replaced by a unceasing banshee's wail, the ghosts making their presence known to the mage in the most direct way possible. She's never met a ghost, didn't even really believe souls could linger after death without some serious ritual magic, but she knows what she's seeing. ]
Raising Heart, if you'd please? [ The gem hanging around her neck floats up to her lips, and she gives it a small kiss, starting what should have been her transformation sequence.
But less than a millisecond in, she knows something went wrong. Her magical power is always great, but she's never had trouble keeping it in check. Especially not for something as simple as putting on her Barrier Jacket. ]
GET DOWN!
[ That's the only warning she has for anyone in the vicinity when the surging mana in her body explodes outwards, a giant pink barrier rapidly growing forth and pushing everything inorganic away. Even the ground beneath her feet had to give way, a crater with Nanoha floating above it, desperately holding on to her Raising Heart which is shining like a miniature pink sun.
At least she's keeping the ghosts out and you in? Unless you're a robot, then whoops, hope you like being pinned to the ground. ]
Phase II
[ Nanoha's been through this song and dance before. Somebody pretends to be her lost family and tries to drag her into danger? Old hat. But it's not like you can just throw off magical hypnosis because you're used to it!
So she's caught for a while, following after the ghost with slow steps. However, she returns to her senses of her own volition... Just before a tram slams right into her side.
Poor tram.
Nanoha though, isn't exactly fine either, not having enough time to set up a proper barrier and relying only on her automatic defences means that she's lying on the ground, groaning in pain. This has been an abjectly awful day. ]
