Nina had been all over history, she'd explored so many different places in so many different times but a few things had always alluded her. Like why do people purposely torture themselves to prove how tough they are? 5-Finger Fillet, being proud of your scars, eating extremely spicy food just to prove that you could, training yourself to actually enjoy beer, there was just something primitive that had always been with society, the desire to prove your toughness by intentionally putting yourself through challenges and suffering. These shock duels were just another offshoot of that same base impulse.
As far as Nina was concerned it suggested insecurity more than anything. If a person was truly confident with their toughness it would show, they wouldn't need to prove it to anybody. "Or maybe I'm overlooking something. Oh well, only one way to find out."
Due to curiosity to find out why people entered underground duels she decided to sign herself up for one to get a taste of the appeal.

"How right you are." Divine said, "I to find these duels to be very primitive, If they think their so tough, I will psychic duel them and show them what real pain is like."

Nina looked over her shoulder at the red haired man who had started speaking to her. Well it was one hell of a way to start a conversation. "Oh you're a psychic duelist? That's pretty cool." she said with a smile. "Buttttt, if you think they're so primitive why are you here? Or is this like going to watch monkeys in a zoo?" she inquired, the smile never leaving her face.

I would guess the same reason you are here. to watch those so called duelists fight amongst each other. I have more spare time on my hands. I though my "buisness" would be taking up more of my time then is has been, so I walk around the town, and I just so happen to see you.
I'm sorry I haven't properly introduced myself. I am Divine, Leader of the Arcadia Movement.

So called duelists? This pretty much confirmed in her eyes that Divine was either very confident or hopelessly arrogant. Still if he really was psychic he might have the power to back it up. That would be great, after all it might make today more interesting than she'd been expecting.
"And I'm Nina, Doctor Nina. So anyway, Divine." she said, trying to feel how the name rolled off her tongue "I was actually about to adopt a more hands on approach to my research. You know, join in, see what all the fuss is about, would you like to be my partner for the evening?"

"Great, you can go get us some shock collars then." she said, patting him on the head, "If you're really a psychic I won't be needing them, right?"

"here how about I show you my powers." Divine grabs his duel disk and slaps a card onto it. why don't you say hello to Though Ruler Archfiend. after saying this Though Ruler Archfiend materialized right next to Divine.

Nina just blinked a few times as she looked up at the giant monster, that is before muttering "Oh okay." with casual dispassion. "I believed you when you told me you were a psychic and I know what psychics are capable of, there's no need to show me. Unless that is you're planning on attacking me with it for no discernible reason. Well?" she asked, looking directly into his eyes. "Aren't you going to get those shock collars?"

"I'm sorry its just sometimes I have to prove to people I am the real deal, there are a lot of fakes out there. they give us psychics a bad name. here are the collars, what should we do now" Divine said, smiling "I Don't even know what to do with these things" Divine attempted to figure out where to put the collars but after several failed attempts he casually waited for Nina to show him what to do, also hoping she didn't notice Divine failing miserably at how to put the collar on

Nina giggled a little, "Here let me help with that."
She'd take the various shock collars and strap them to Divine, tugging them once or twice just to make sure whether or not they were secure. "Now would you like me to be your opponent or should we each find somebody who comes here a little more often?"

"gah I think that one over there is too tight.. I can't feel my arms. How in the hell am I supposed to duel like this?" Divine said, as he looks at all the collars everywhere. "I guess I probably should duel you first, seeings as though I have to get used to these damn collars."

"Well they have to be tight so that people won't just slip them off half way through the duel. But I get what you're talking about." she said, pretty happy that somebody who had seemed so arrogant was at the very least treating her like an equal.
Regardless the challenge had just been announced, she was finally getting the chance to duel. "You can go first." she said, sliding the white duel disk onto her arm.

"hehehe I was hopeing I would get to go first" Divine said as he grabed his gold Duel disk, curseing about the stupid shock collars.

"Okay here I go." she said as she drew her sixth cards. She thought about how Divine had set up quite a powerful field in his first turn, but it also meant he only had one card in his hand. This might put him at a disadvantage later in the duel, assuming she could survive long enough for it to matter.
"I summon Genex Neutron (1800/1200)."
((Any chains?))

Divine though carefully on what to do about the monster being summoned, he thought to himself I have no idea what these monsters do I better activate one of my facedowns as he pushed the button on his duel disk yelling out "I chain to your summon bottomless traphole"

"Hmm, okay. I set two cards face down and end my turn." she mused, wondering what damage from a psychic duelist would be like.
LP: 8000 Hand: 3 Face Down S/T Face Down S/T

"odd, this hand and field seem vagely similar, almost like I've had a field like this before..? No matter.. I will summon the tuner monster Psychic Commander!! Now Appear my Psychic Soldier."

"That's an... Interesting place to put a cannon. I'm sure good old Doctor Freud would have a field day with that." she said, not actually activating any of her traps yet.

"very well, from many come one. combine forces to form the one true ruler. Come Forth My ultimate psychic Warrior Thought Ruler Archfiend!" (magical android + psychic commander 5+3=8) (ooc that was not planned for me to get a hand like that, I guess we deal with the cards we get hmm?)
"Now then, Thought Ruler Archfiend attacks you directly!" Divine said as his ultimate psychic beast begins to charge at Nina

((OOC: Don't worry about it, we all get lucky and unlucky sometimes))
"I activate Scrapiron Scarecrow. It lets me negate an attack and instead of being sent to the graveyard it gets set on my side of the field again. In other words I can negate one attack a turn." she explained as a crucifix of junk appeared on the field.
"But technically Scrapiron Scarecrow is targeting your monster so you could negate it if you want to pay the cost."

"interesting... I think I will press my advantage, but you are mistaken in one aspect Nina. have you forgoten I have my field spell out? I no longer have to pay life points to activate psychic monsters abilitys. I will negate your scrap metal scarecrow by putting a psychic counter on my field spell Brain Research Lab"
"now that, that trap is out of the way, Archfiend Continue your attack!!"

"Oh well, live and let li-" at that moment she would be struck by the gigantic monster, knocking her down to her knees as her life points fell to 5300.
"A-Anything else?" she asked, clearly trying to get used to the pain of psychic duelling.

"are you ok.... that looks "uncomfortable" to say the least, I guess the combination of psychic dueling and shock collers does not mix well" Divine said, with a bit of compassion in the way he said that. "you remind me so much of Aki right now, in time the pain will subside, making you stronger for it"
"I end my turn"

She'd smile at him as she stood fully upright. "Finally somebody else who gets it! Whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, if I have to get hurt to become more powerful so be it." she said as she drew her next card.
"I play Lightning Vortex, discarding Quillbolt Hedgehog to destroy all of your face up monsters, and since I'm not specifically targeting your monster its effect won't save it." she explained as she destroyed Divine's signature monster.
"Now I summon a second Genex Neutron and end my turn, this lets me add a machine type tuner monster from my deck to my hand. That's all from me."
LP: 5300 Hand: 2 Genex Neutron (1800/1200) ATK Face Down S/T

"very well thought ruler was indeed my signature monster, but there are far worse things in this deck" Divine said with a smirk
I draw
"I will summon the Tuner monster Krebons. Now that I control a face up psychic monster I can activate my spell card Psychokenisis. to destroy your monster. but I do lose 1000 lp, but that is the cost of doing buisness I am afraid." "gah those stupid collars, I am used to psychic duels no problem but electric shocks are a different matter completely *curses profusely*"
"in any event, my krebons attacks you directly" "I end my turn"

LP: 4100
"Almost half my life points already, that's pretty good." she said as she drew another card, she didn't seem as affected by that last attack though, it hurt but nowhere near as badly as the last one.
"I discard Level Eater to summon Quickdraw Synchron and then I normal summon Tuningware. Now I reduce Quickdraw Synchron's level by 1 to special summon Level Eater from my graveyard, and since Quickdraw Synchron is a tuner I can special summon Quillbolt Hedgehog from my graveyard." she announced, now having enough monsters for a very impressive synchro summon.
4+1+1+2
"Since I'm using Tuningware to synchro summon I get to draw a card. Now I synchro summon Junk Destroyer (2600/2500), this lets me destroy cards on the field up to the number of non-tuner monsters I used to summon it." since she had used 3 monsters she could destroy up to 3 cards, enough to clear Divine's field.

"or so you think. granted I have never seen that monster before but it won't be there long" Divine said as he activated his facedown card. "In responce to your syncro summon I activate Mind over Matter. this lovely counter trap negates a spell,trap, normal summon, or special summon of a monster simply by tributeing a psychic monster on my field."

"Interesting... I set a card face down and end my turn."
She'd look over at Divine, who was now probably in a more awkward position than she was. Right now he had nothing to defend his field with and nothing in his hand, a lot of this duel would probably come down to whatever card he was going to draw next. She knew how much pressure that could be, so she opted to lighten the mood.
"So who is this Aki by the way, your girlfriend?" she asked in a playful and teasing tone.

"aki? my girlfriend?! hahahaha. she like me is a psychic duelist, but her powers are not under as well of control as mine. if she were to ever get angry, her powers spin out of control. I took her to my Arcadia Movement. after so that we can train her in the ways of controlling her psychic powers." divine seems a bit relieved to have some of the tension of the duel dissipate.
