Alice might not know much about her opponent's way of life. Her preferred crowd of trenchcoated god-slayers, international spies, strange vampires and Chinese spellcasters differs greatly from Paine's eternally cheerful popstar group of friends and fighters, a group Paine seems just a bit out of place in, overall. Never-the-less, it just means it's time to go gothic metal on Paine's way of life and Paine herself. Of course, there's always more than one way to do that. Alice'll likely just stick to her specialty and put the fear of God into her - perhaps quite literally. Between her high-powered Advent spell and full complement of healing to take on the fighter's hits, Alice is more than ready to shrug off the Paine and pursue a Middle finals at long last.
