Editing Scape (section)

==Abilities and Powers==
The Scapes all had powers similar to Vista, with some variations. One masked Scape had the ability to twist the world around her, using it to weaken walls and building supports. Her power worked differently from Vista's, affecting a wider area but at a slower speed. Her power was also not hindered by the presence of people.<ref>The first one I’d noticed was still on the rooftop, spreading out her efforts, thinning walls and twisting supports.  Her progress was slow, but I was willing to bet that half of the city block would be collapsing onto us in a matter of minutes.  If not sooner.  If I had to guess, her power operated in a different manner than the original Vista’s.  It affected a wider area, it was slower, and she didn’t seem to be suffering for our presence. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/05/monarch-18-6/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.6]]</ref> She could sense the world through her power, able to stretch buildings even with her eyes obstructed.<ref>Meagre as my efforts were, they still should have left her blind, filling her eye sockets with ants and no-see-ums, but her power was still steadily working on the buildings around us.  Another peculiarity of her abilities?  The ability to sense the layout of whatever structures she was affecting?  Did that extend to sensing us? - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/05/monarch-18-6/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.6]]</ref>

Another masked Scape could twist space around her into jagged shapes, with some of them raised into points.<ref name="jagged" />

The tall Scape could warp and twist matter, corkscrewing it until it was nothing but dust.<ref name="tall" /> Everything she dissolved turned into radioactive dust.<ref name="radiation">“It’s radioactive,” Tattletale intoned.  “Everything she’s dissolving like that.”<br><br>“Unless I cover it?” Grue asked.<br><br>“Unless you cover it.  Should cancel out the effects.  But you did want me to let you know when I’m making an educated guess.  This is one of them.” Tattletale said.  “I hope I’m right.  We could win this fight and still wind up dying in a hospital bed a few years from now, because we got too close as that stuff dissolved.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/05/monarch-18-6/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.6]]</ref>

Yet another Scape was able to hide people in two-dimensional space. Upon emerging from a surface, they would peel away and emerge unscathed.<ref>“And there’s a good half-dozen capes around her,” I said.  “One Circus, one Vista that can apparently hide people in two-dimensional space, two Übers and the Leet with the gun.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/09/queen-18-7/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.7]]</ref><ref name="flat" /> People in two-dimensional space could still be injured if the surface they resided on was damaged.<ref name="piledriver">He didn’t hesitate, punching the ground and driving both piledrivers into it.  There were no fissures, this time.  The entire area rumbled, and the ground spiderwebbed with cracks in every direction, not leaving two square feet of ground untouched.  Bentley nearly lost his footing, and Bastard growled, until Rachel pulled on his chain.<br><br>The first clone stepped out of a piece of plywood that had been placed across a shattered balcony door.  An Über.  He pulled the plywood free and disappeared into the apartment, swatting at the bugs that I’d set on him.<br><br>A Circus emerged beneath the flying heroes, cradling a shattered arm.  Bugs began drifting toward her, as if a strong wind were pulling them in.  The normal Circus packed a pocket dimension she could put things into.  This one was only storing air, forming a strong vacuum around herself.  Chronicler’s cloud dissipated as it was sucked in, and the heroes with weaker flying abilities were swiftly being dragged her way.  Regent hit her with his power, and the effect slowed, but she recovered faster than the fliers did. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/12/queen-18-8/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.8]]</ref>

A Scape with fingernail-like plates of flesh was able to raise surfaces and sculpt them into rough images. She used this to raise statues of Echidna from the pavement as decoys to distract Eidolon.<ref name="sculpt">I pointed the way to Noelle, and Rachel changed direction.  Eidolon was dealing with the last Vista-clone that Noelle had spawned.  The girl wasn’t going on the offensive, but she was using her power to move quickly, using every spare moment to raise lumps of pavement and concrete from the ground, sculpting them into rough images of Noelle.  It would be sunrise, now, but in the dim light, they would be something that distracted Eidolon and potentially drew his fire. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/09/queen-18-7/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.7]]</ref>
