Kalinda shrugged and stood up, reqdy to go. She thought she may as well go now.let her classmates see what she could do, even if she was new. 

She walked into the room, and simoly acted, she had figured out that mimic could copy powers. But could he copy that which he couldn't see? She didn't know. "I guess I'll just show you what I cn do." She didnt introduce herself, simply started.

the room was plunged into complete, total, utter darkness, so that even Kakinda couldnt see where she was. Couldnt see her hand in front of her face, the darkness seemed impenetrable, and it was as sound was pressing down on their ears.

she took a slow deep breath, and let her emotional blocks down, absorbing all the emotions of her classmqtes in the next room. She felt bursting with them.

she held up her right hand, not that it could be seen, holding it up palm up. She rolled her fingers, hopefully bringing mimic towards her. She shook with the effort, and the effort of controlling the emotions in her. She reached for Mimic, for any skin, to transfer the emotions to him, and hopefully disable him. When she had done this, if it had worked, she would throw up her blocks again with massive effort so that he couldn't do the same to her.

she may just have forgotten that she was merely meant to show what she could do, not use it against him.
