The Silent Hurricane [Wind Dragon Challenge]

Zoe smiled as she sat on the bench, watching him. As he approached, Zoe would slid her glasses on and reach into the bag next to her. The girl would hold her violin tightly, quickly sliding it to prepare herself as the man spoke. Standing, Zoe smiled brightly as she suddenly began to play her violin. The girl would seemingly vanish from her spot in front of the bench. She had started playing less than a second after the man finished speaking and moved to lean against the tree. The sound of her violin would echo through the empty streets, making it difficult to pinpoint the origin of the music. He didn't seem to want to waste time, so Zoe wouldn't with anymore pleasantries.

Rhythm Dance [1 Use Per 5 Int] [1/16]
After a loud sound, Zoe’s presence becomes harder to detect except by hearing. While it appears that she's simply vanishing and reappearing, in reality, Zoe is playing a high pitched song that causes abnormalities in the human brains. It causes the source of the music to become a 'hidden spot' in their senses- with the only exception being sound. If they look in her general direction, their eyes will automatically gloss over her and go to the area next to her. Zoe is effectively invisible to those around her, however depending on her INT compared to others WIS, she can be detected if she moves. If someone’s WIS is 10 point within her INT, she can move up to 2 meters before coming visible. If it is Equal to or less than 10 Points greater than her INT, she can move 1.5 meters. If it is 10 Points or more than her INT, she can move 1 meter before coming visible. People fooled by this power, can tell that she is in that area that they cannot see her, but cannot pinpoint her. If Zoe comes within 1 meter of someone, they can see her normally.

Common sense dictates that someone would attack the area she had been in last before vanishing. So, naturally, Zoe made sure to get the hell away quickly. The moment her music started playing, she was on the move. Her footsteps would be nearly impossible to hear. She was a small and light weight girl with some classical dance experience. Not only that, but the sound of the violin would mask her gentle steps. She had also clearly chosen this area and emptied it to allow for the echoes to spread her sound.

Zoe had managed to narrowly avoid having her violin smashed by the wind. Luckily for her, she had started moving almost immediately. Her ability to hide herself was one of her strongest, and she wasn't going to sit around and waste it. Instead, she'd move about silently, hidden.

However, then, a sudden and jarring sound would be heard. The violin would keep playing, as if she hoped he wouldn't notice. The sound would continue. It was a phone. Her phone was going off! The sound came from an area to his far right in front a small park with several trees in the area that made it look like a lovely location to have a picnic. Zoe's voice could be heard, mumbling as she continued to play. ”Crap...” The sound of the violin would waver, as if she was digging into her pocket to shut the phone off.

Was she even taking this fight seriously?

Zoe would continue to fumble with her phone. Then, a bush would start rustling. The music would stop as the bush rustled. A hushed whisper could be heard... almost as if she was embarrassed. "Yeah... er... I'm fighting right now- no! no one important, just some loser..."

The rustling would continue as another song began to slowly echo through the area. It was a sickly sweet tune that was beyond happy. As it played, Silas may notice something. The tune... it would seem to make his skin crawl or feel some other form of discomfort.

Just then, he'd hear it. It was a sharp sounding song. However, as soon as he heard it, he'd begin feeling what could be described as a massive migraine- even a cluster one. The sound would echo through out the area, but it didn't seem to effect any birds high up in the electrical wires. The sharp sounding song would intertwine and twist with the sickly sweet song of before- exchanging and sharing notes. It was a song made just for him. If he glanced towards the bush, he'd notice the sounds would soon begin to repeat itself. If he looked even closer, he'd notice a phone had been placed in the bush beforehand. It had been a trap that he never triggered.

Zoe had used her time invisible to hide herself within the area. In that time, she had used her glasses to call her cell phone, which she had dropped down previously. Her initial plan had been to lure him to the bush with the phone's vibrations and sound by taping it to the bush's thin stems. That clearly didn't work. As Zoe crouched in her hiding spot, she smirked softly.

Symphony Drag [1 Post Per 15 Int] 1/5

Zoe can play a series of notes that seem to cause distress in those who hear it. Those who fall victim to it find themselves weakened by the frequencies as they effect their brains. Those who hear them either lose 30 stat points scattered across various stats while Zoe herself loses 10 dexterity and 5 wisdom. Zoe can also play a song that allows those who hear it to gain 30 stat points scattered across various stats. Zoe herself still loses 10 dexterity and 5 wisdom with no stat gain herself. Only one effect can be done at a time.

Record Scratch [1 Use Per 15 Int] 2/5

By playing a sharp tune on her instrument, Zoe is capable of dealing damage equaling to three fourths of her total int. The vibrations directly effect the brain, causing internal injuries rather than outer ones. Unlike her other attacks, this one can only effect one person at a time.

Zoe's hiding spot had been revealed with her attack. The spot had been very near to where she had initially stood. In fact, she had been crouching behind a row of trees next to the bench. As the man screamed in pain, Zoe had already begun preparing her next move. Her bots would move from her boots, and move to crawl under her clothes. Zoe had been planning to do something else, but it appeared that Silas had other plans. In a flash, the man was upon her.

As he yanked her violin out of her hand, Zoe gasped, eyes widening as she willed the bots to move to her desired location. As he gripped her neck, three of the bots managed to slide under her choker, taking the brunt of his enhanced strength. However, they weren't enough. Zoe would gaps for air, reaching up to try and pry his fingers from her neck. When he punched her in the gut, a group of five would manage to catch the brunt of his assault, but as before, they weren't enough. Zoe could feel the air knocked out of her.

When he threw her through the air, Zoe would quickly allow several of the bots to fall from her body- spreading them through out the area. She kept two close hovering close to her just in case- and when he sent his wind slashing at her, Zoe was glad she had. The bots would shatter as the wind hit them- taking most of the damage as Zoe still found her arm cut up a bit from the wind- the bots were pretty small after all. She'd land in a bush- thankful she had chosen this area for their combat. The suburb had hundreds of bushes and trees all around it for decoration and the many 'green' projects students did.

Still sputtering for air, Zoe reached out to grab a small item from under her shirt. She winced as her arm bled while moving it, but it wasn't bleeding enough to drip down constantly. She'd hold up a small harmonica that had been tied around her neck under her shirt. Zoe would glance up before gulping. She'd reach up to her throat, frowning. There would be a nasty bruise there soon. Despite her gut still ringing in pain, Zoe managed to begin playing off her tunes to slowly move away from the bush. The echoing tune would once more fill the air as she moved to hide behind a nearby toy in the park they were next to. The toy was one of those large round tubes that kids could crawl through. She'd continue playing while planning her next move. Slowly, Zoe would move the small bots through the grass and other shrubbery- aiming to have them hidden throughout the area should he attack like that again. Once they were moved to be evenly hid throughout the area, she'd deactivate them.

Smart Looking Laced Nearly Knee High Boots [1/5]
Hidden in these boots are small compartment containing small machines, slightly smaller than a mosquito. These bots have small speakers inside them, and may also block out noise, as long as they are between the listener and the source of the sound. Zoe can feed noise to the bot through a small microphone disguised as an earring. When this swarm is release for the first time in a thread, the user may give them stats equal to their INT. However they must have at least 10 in each stat, and then any remainder may be applied as chosen. If the user does not have a high enough INT (Due to reduced INT), they may then reduce the stats below 10, but only in this case. Once the swarm is summoned, its stats are locked. This swarm dies out quickly lasting 1 post per 15 INT. This swarm is made up of 1 machine per every 2 INT. As the swarm takes damage, while it stats do not change they become less effective due to reduced numbers. The swarm can be activated or deactivated as a whole between posts of their usage.

Zoe hadn't managed to get away from him in time to hid herself. However, she did manage to reactivate one of her bots. The two she had kept near her would fly into his foot, ramming against it in an attempt to push him away and off balance. Meanwhile, Zoe would continue playing her harmonica and run- vanishing from sight as her bots tried to push the dragon off. The bush trap she had set up earlier kept vibrating violently and noisily in the background as Zoe commanded her bots to begin moving around the field close to the grass. Zoe would move towards a canal that was near the park and suburban area that was about fifteen or twenty feet in the opposite direction of where the two had been.
