She was about to reply, when the lights went out.

CC eeped, an octave higher than her usual singing voice, which was considerably high on its own. Except the eep wasn't quite as pleasant. In fact, it made some of the other people wince. Not only had the electricity in the restaurant gone out, but the entire village was in a blackout state. She lowered the brightness on her MirrorPhone, as not to waste the battery and shone the light on Velvet, who hissed, her pupils thinning from their previously dilated state. The kitten ran into CC's lap, sensing that there was something wrong. The plate of pasta was knocked over by Velvet, sending it crashing to the floor. It shattered. One of them would have to pay for that, CC mentally noted, before assesing the situation.

People had done the same as CC, taking their MirrorPhones out and shining flashlights on others around them. A hum of muttering and discussing buzzed through the restaurant. Perhaps, if it were raining, this would be an understandable situation to be in, but the sky was clearer than glass. There was no explanation other than somebody had either been messing with the power or the power lines were faulty.
