mmmfilletofsoul[There's a rather strange new feather walking around town right now. For one, she seems to have torn off a strip of cloth from around her new-feather dress to blindfold herself, for whatever reason. Despite that, she seems to be getting around just fine...]
[But that's not all! Even if she weren't wearing the blindfold, she's not even trying to watch where she's going. She's too busy leafing through the journal in her hands, occassionally shaking it as though she expects the voices inside to just fall out. And those of you paying attention over the networks have likely noticed that she is holding it upside down as well.]
[In a moment, she stops walking and lets out a very small sigh before stating the obvious to whomever is listening.] I am no longer in the Stendrion Desert, am I.
[[ooc: If you haven't seen her Permissions post, please please take a look at it! I would really appreciate it! <3]]

Although it would be most inconvenient to drive away someone willing to help me, I believe it would be deceitful not to be honest about what sort of creature you are associating with.

Date: 2010-09-30 05:31 am (UTC)[She frowns. Xion doesn't look like a monster, as far as she can see. This is perplexing.] That is not something I can say I have had experience with. Humans tend to avoid my kind, and for good reason. I have never heard of a creature befriending something that is known to prey upon their species.

Date: 2010-09-30 05:46 am (UTC)[Tilting her head to the side. It totally helps her see better, don't question it.] You look human to me. In what way would you not be a human? Unless there are different varieties of humans that go by a different name, I can see quite clearly that you possess a human soul.
[action]
Date: 2010-09-30 05:50 am (UTC)a human soul...
in her shock she just blurts out the truth without much thinking about it ]
I... I'm a Replica. I'm just something somebody created... in a lab. Just a puppet given the memories of a boy... if the memories that made me ever left me, I'd cease to exist. So completely that no one would even remember me. [ she shakes her head. ] I'm definitely not human. But I have... a soul? [ she looks down at herself, somewhat at a loss ] Is that like having a heart?
[action]
Date: 2010-09-30 06:04 am (UTC)I do not see creatures as they are. I only see their souls. The fact that I can see you at all indicates you have one. [She smiles.] And such a warm color, as well...
[action]
Date: 2010-09-30 06:18 am (UTC)[ but that would mean... for certain? no, Xion's not ready to believe that just yet. A Replica with her very own heart? Is that even possible? But having a soul... Vexen couldn't have programmed her with something like that. She takes a deep breath, steadying herself, and finally looks up at Cheyenne again, smiling at the description. ]
It sounds pretty... you can really see the soul of every person? [ she looks around them, seeing only people. ] Wow... [ and then she laughs. ] Thank you.
[action]
Date: 2010-09-30 06:26 am (UTC)You see, I feed on souls.
[action]
Date: 2010-09-30 06:30 am (UTC)the next part catches her by surprise, though, and she blinks. ] Oh! I guess that's why you said you're dangerous, huh. How... if you don't mind me asking, how do you...?
[action]
Date: 2010-09-30 06:48 am (UTC)I should point out, however, that in being a peaceful illusionist, when I feed it causes no harm. The soul has many parts and one of these parts is replenishable. A simple meal or a night of rest will make a creature feel well again.
[action]
Date: 2010-09-30 06:59 am (UTC)So how are you going to do that here?
[action]
Date: 2010-09-30 07:08 am (UTC)I suppose I could return to doing what I had to do in my own world. I often bargained with the humans and was forced to bribe them in to sacrificing one of their own. I am rather unique in terms of illusionists, so they are not at all accustomed to trusting one.
In order to preserve my own life, I never stayed in one place very long.

Date: 2010-10-03 05:11 am (UTC)But I think you might be a little better off here. As long as you don't hurt anyone, I think you'll probably find some volunteers. You'll have to ask, but I'm sure someone would be willing.
