Faultline using her power to cut through several inorganic substances: | |||
Worm Interlude 5 said: | |||
As Gregor watched, she closed her eyes, then swiped her hand across the top ends of the rods. Red and blue energy crackled, and coin-shaped pieces of wood, metal, stone and plastic fell to the desktop. Other rods, several of which were green wood, were untouched. | |||
Faultline using her power to cut through Trainwreck's mechanical legs: | |||
Worm 11.7 said: | |||
Behind Trainwreck, I saw a section of wall toppling, spotted Faultline dashing through the obstruction as though it were barely there. She ran up behind Trainwreck and slashed her fingertips across his heel as he was stepping forward. | |||
As he set the foot down on the marble floor, his ankle shattered and his foot broke free of his calf. | |||
He caught the ground with the stump of his mechanical leg, and she darted in close to cut through the knee of his other leg. He fell onto his back as she slipped between his legs, and she quickly turned to begin using her fingertips to cut down the wall, like a jungle explorer using a machete to hack through brush and vines. The red-haired woman joined her. | |||
Faultline using her power to strategically weaken a surface and then drop down through it: | |||
Worm 11.7 said: | |||
One powered Merchant charged Faultline and collapsed through the ground she had strategically weakened. She kicked him several times in the face before the next member of Skidmark’s group tried to take her on, drawing and pointing a gun. Faultline drew her feet apart, and then dropped through the floor of the platform in a spray of splinters. | |||
Faultline using her power to create hand holds: | |||
Worm 11.7 said: | |||
Faultline had emerged from beneath the platform and moved around to the side, and using her power to draw hand holds into the side of the platform. | |||
Faultline thinking about her power and then using it to create a hole in a stone wall: | |||
Worm Interlude 18 said: | |||
Faultline touched the wall. She felt her power magnifying around her fingertip on contact. She just had to will it, and her power would dance around the contact point, leaving a hole a third of an inch across. If she really pushed for it, it would extend several feet inside the object. | |||
Her power worked better with multiple points of contact. She touched with her other fingertip, and felt the power soar between the two, running through the surface like a current. | |||
She let it surge outward, and a fissure appeared. | |||
She tapped one toe against the wall, and power surged from either fingertip to the point of her toe, drawing a triangle. Moving closer to the wall until she was almost hugging it, she moved her other toe against the surface. Four points of contact, six lines. | |||
Then she pushed, literally and in the sense of using her power. The power surged into the object, the lines widening and she swiftly backed away as the resulting debris settled. | |||
Once the dust had more or less cleared, she could make out a tunnel, roughly door shaped. Her power had destroyed enough of the material that there was barely any debris on the ground.--> | |||
