<div class="floatleft">(http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/wondersofthesandbox/images/b/bc/Rosie-Tupper-09.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Shae Lux Kurova (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=250173.msg12369639#msg12369639)<br/><strong>City | Date | Time:</strong>Seattle, WA | August 16, 2017 | 11:02 PM PST<br/><strong>Tagging | Mentioning:</strong>Dara, Elijah, Kumiho<br/><strong>Content:</strong>Disorienting everyone.<br/><hr/>Her head bobbed in agreement with what Dara said, but before she could manage to do what she was going too the other two piped up. She would have replied to Kumiho – whose hand she did take and shake very softly before pulling back to herself – but then captain confidence wanted to show off. Shae blinked and watched him go to the window and explain what he was going to do. It was a neat idea, but despite his thought that it was better then what she could do, she knew better. Still that part would be helpful too. So instead of interrupting, Shae just stepped aside and let the big black man do his thing. With genuine fascination he watched as he created the ball of energy and then smashed it, creating the pulse.<br/><br/>It wasn't like EMP's were a thing that one encountered often, so she hadn't been expecting the sound. The high pitched – higher she knew then anything else could perceive – squeal that came with it. He was too close for her to have time to react to it. She winced, and staggered back a couple of steps, nearly falling against Kumiho from the sudden disorientation that the sound of such a wave created. She very quickly regretted her choice to let him do his thing first. “S-sorry,” She murmured to the new woman, lifting herself away.<br/><br/>“Not quite as good though,” She finally pipped up. She saw no real reason not to still do what she'd planned on. “A deadzone...” She finally answered, turning to Kumiho, “No sound. At all. Not from us. Not from anything.”<br/><br/>No doubt by now the sounds created by the power going out had already started. People were panicking and running around. Walls were being banged on, people were shouting grumpily. This was not what they had paid for, and they all expected better. Even out side the sounds of the city were a thing. Shae took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Her throat rolled with a heavy swallow as she reached out. For her it was like projecting a large bubble around herself. She could cover a room easily, the hotel probably wouldn't be a problem, but she wanted to go further – they really needed her to go further. Dara had said not to strain herself, but she knew where she could push herself too if she had to. Even growing the bubble expanded as she focused, pushing it slowly further and further until finally she'd accomplished a zone of roughly a football field in all directions centered on her. “Have you ever experienced silence?” She said, with the smallest of smiles. It wasn't actually something that she enjoyed, because it felt so off for her. “Not quiet. Absolute. Silence.” She shook her head, because she knew who heartedly that they had not.<br/><br/>She exhaled that heavy breath.<br/><br/>It all stopped. The yelling. The banging. The running. The buzz of electricity in the walls. The sound of breathing. The cars outside. Heartbeats. Clothes brushing against themselves. Absolute, total silence. Within her zone soundwaves could not be formed, they were suppressed into oblivion. They were suddenly living in a silent movie. Sound from outside the bubble hit it was snuffed out upon contact. So not only were those inside the bubble unable to make sound, but they could not hear sound made from outside of it either.<br/><br/>Shae took a couple steps away from them, towards the television set in the room and reached for it. To illustrate her point, she tugged on it and sent it crashing to the ground. It moved, it fell, it hit the ground, it broke. But there was not of the sound that should have come with it. For Dara who had experienced this before, it probably wasn't much of a big deal – but the absolute lack of sound for the others? Well, Shae could only imagine for them it was like the first time she'd experienced it. Looking to her sister she began to flash quick signs with her hands – not any form of traditional sign language though – and explained quickly the radius of the bubble, and that she was ready to go.
