>Then tell Lily and we'll have to send Poppy the message after we bring the field down
>Let's get to work
>Lily replies with a mote of hope and her best of luck, since it seems she doesn't like the sensation of the jamming field anymore than you do.
>And with that done, you and your three nearby colleagues set to work. And there's no easy way to do it, given that this blanket of needles has no seem nor edge that you can grab onto. The only way to try and make a seem is to pick a location and thrust your power at it. There's no way to do that without causing yourself some pain, but if that's what's called for, then best to do it fast and get it over with. And do it fast and in one burst. Otherwise the more powerful members of their group might sense what you're up to and be able to counter you. This is gonna be hard enough as it is.
>Even forcing your way through that field is difficult enough to the point where it actually pains you, and not a small amount either. You do succeed, however. You and your three allies force your magic through that barrier in an experience akin to what it must be like running through a field of broken glass. And now you're about to leap into a heaping big pile of salt, you have no doubt. But, as Kiku says at nearly the same time you do as Minoriko flinches, you've come this far, you can't stop now. If you're going to succeed, it has to be now, before they can reinforce the field. You hear the mikos talking as well, Hiyori asking if there's anything she can do for you. The pain you and your group is in is plain to see. Haruka appears sympathetic, but there's nothing their magic can do help in this situation.
>The trick is going to be, now that you've used your power to wedge yourself into that psychic field, expanding your power outward in such a way to break it up. Simply expanding it out like a balloon won't work, it would be too energy consuming and too painful to leave you useful afterwards. You'd be out of action at least as long if not longer than your enemy. Simply cutting it would leave wounds too easy for the Blood to repair. Letting the four of you simply do your own thing would diffuse your power too much. Kiku eventually makes the suggestion that seems to be the best plan of action: using the approach of an animal. Tigers tear at their prey, or shake them about in their mouths sometimes. That's what she suggests you do, and she may be right. A psychic savaging would damage the field in a way that would be all but impossible to heal and would actually be easier to pull off than trying the balloon approach. You've never employed your power in that manner before, but in this case you have the animal instincts of two felines to draw upon.
>This is among the more challenging things you've ever tasked yourself with doing since you came into your power. Psionically rending that blanket of needles is not at all easy, nor is it without a severe amount of pain. If there's any upside to this, it's that your clothes aren't shredding in the process, so you'll still be functional once you're finished. Sort of functional, anyway. Minoriko actually screams once from the pain, but to her credit, she sticks with it, keeping her power joined to yours, and the jamming field eventually withers and snaps under your assault.
>The field has been dispelled, and you sense the wave of disruptive force blast through the minds that generated it. What you didn't expect, however, was that your group would also be caught in the backlash. Not as severely, you can sense, but it's still enough to send you reeling.
