2nd l o s t s o u l ~ [Voice]

Greetings, residents of Luceti. I am called Cheyenne, and there is something I wish to ask of you all.

By tomorrow, it will have been a month since my arrival in Luceti. I have, for the most part, remained unseen. I would have continued such a manner of living for the benefit of others here, but circumstances make such a lifestyle impossible for a creature such as myself. I am what is called an Illusionist. My kind is considered a monster in my world, due to what we must do to survive.

That is to say, illusionists feed on the souls of other living creatures.

To follow that, I feel I must add that the term "soul" may be different in my world as it is to your own. Illusionists see the soul in four parts, one of which naturally fluxuates throughout the day. Feeding on this section, Power, does little more than tire a creature in the same way that running a mile would tire a creature... no, not even to that extent. The process is truly harmless. You see, I am unique in terms of illusionists. My sisters feel no remorse in draining the souls of innocent creatures. I, however, do not wish to do so against the wishes of a creature who would feel uncomfortable in such a situation. Nor do I wish to bring harm to those residing in the village.

And so, I am here asking if there is anyone in Luceti who would be willing to allow me to feed off of them.

Ideally, I would only be required to feed on a particular person one time every few weeks. I only need to feed once or twice a week to contain my hunger. If I were in a desperate state, once a month would be enough to keep me sane. Although that is, by far, not a very ideal situation for myself...

Should anyone be so willing as to aid me, I would like a chance to meet with you sometime soon so that I may be sure it would be safe to feed from you. As the Power of a soul relates directly a creature's own stamina, those who are prone to frequent illness or weakness would be best to refrain from offering. And, if you are so willing, I will also show the process by which I feed so you know what to expect in the future.

I thank you for listening to all I have to say. Should you have any comments or concerns to ask about, I am willing to answer them here.

[[ooc: Okay, a few things to clarify in regards to Cheyenne's feeding! First, if you haven't filled out her permissions post, please do so here! It makes threading with her much easier if I know whether or not she can see your character.

And now, the feeding itself. If your character agrees to this, Cheyenne will appear at their home once every few weeks to feed. It takes about 5 minutes and will make your character light-headed or sleepy for a few hours, or until they eat something. Most of this will likely be hand-waived in the future, seeing as Cheyenne will probably just feed-and-leave for the most part.

In this post, Cheyenne will need to meet your character in person to see if they're safe to feed on, so this will be one of the few times the feeding will be played out! Illusionists can't over-eat souls, so she will be doing multiple feedings in one day just this once. If you want, we can hand-waive this as well and you can just have your character volunteer. Also, feel free to bombard her with questions; eating souls is serious business, after all. :|b If you have questions for me, you can PM Cheyenne's account or (for a faster answer) send me a message on AIM at Precure Black.

And finally, since I know there are a lot of people on hiatus right now, don't worry if you missed this thread! Chances are Cheyenne may ask again so she won't have to feed on the same people as often. Otherwise, I don't mind people backtagging this thread, in which you can assume they saw it at a different time screw you, space-time continuum! <3]]

No, milady; but....there's folks here what won't be happy with one who eats souls. Why not rum? It's almost the same thing, I'll wager.

I am already prepared for the fact that admitting I am a monster may not be in my best interests. However, seeing as death is not a permanent solution in this world, I fear there is little else I am able to do. And I do not wish to be deceitful about what I am.

...and I am afraid I do not know of this "rum" of which you speak.

There are... different parts to the soul? Like, if your an animal or person? [Give him a minute... eating souls to him seems, wrong, but you're being so open about it.]
all7seas: (hmmmm....)

Oh, lass...rum's GOOD, eh? But this sets me thinking: the filthy blood-feeding vampires are given glasses of blood at Good Spirits. Might you not ask for a glass of soul?
illusional: (Oh how shocking! [/sarcasm])

[Voice]

[personal profile] illusional 2010-10-08 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
There are four parts, actually. Length and Strength define the physical appearance of the soul itself, as well as defining traits a creature may have. Potency is the center of emotions and feelings. Power is merely stamina.

Although I'm afraid I do not understand your last question... is a human not also considered a type of animal? Certainly humans are generally more sentient, but they are all living creatures nonetheless.

The thought of there being an alternate source available has crossed my mind, but I am afraid I have never come across anything such as a soul separated from a living creature and suspended in a jar.
goldenglasses: (You really think so?)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2010-10-08 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
A-a-hh... good point. I guess they are the same really.

So you really have no other way to eat?
illusional: (I am disappoint.)

[personal profile] illusional 2010-10-08 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I still eat regular food in the same fashion all living creatures do. However, being the creature that I am, doing so only ensures that my body does not become malnourished.

Feeding on souls is a separate need that I require, I'm afraid.

Whereas I, on the other hand, have seen some very strange things indeed trapped in jars!

I imagine you must come from a very interesting world, then.

Or it could just be the company I keep, eh? You're rather like a pirate. Ish. Feeding off others, parasite of society. Well--though you've asked rather politely, haven't you.

What becomes malnourished if you don't feed on the souls?

Although it is true I only need to feed once a month to control myself, illusionists were not designed to live such a life. Even feeding twice a week, there is a constant hunger that never truly goes away.

Were I to refrain from feeding for too long, the hunger becomes most unbearable to the point of insanity. Although I will not starve to the point of death without souls, the peaceful creature you are speaking to would cease to exist. I would become, for lack of a better word, a true monster incapable of understanding right and wrong.

I've never seen a pirate before, so I'm afraid your comparison is lost to me.

So, it's just something that's out of your control.

...so it's safe for the person you're feeding on? If you're in control of yourself?
illusional: (This /is/ my happy face!)

[Voice]

[personal profile] illusional 2010-10-08 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
That is true, yes. The only side affect of my feeding would be sleepiness or feeling light-headed, both of which can be remedied with a short nap or a meal.

[And throwing up a private filter before an angry priest, insurance agent, or Legato sees. You're being open and honest with everything. He believes you won't hurt him. Or at least, he hopes it.]


I'll help you if I can.

You know, Cheyenne-chan, I'm not sure that's the way for a girl to live~

[She can't see that there's now a filter, so she doesn't pay it any mind. She does, however, smile.]

You are most kind. If you would be so inclined, may I meet with you and perhaps show you the process by which I feed? It can be rather disorientating the first time for someone who has never dealt with illusions before.

So many pirates here you can't swing a dead cat about without hitting one or two, young miss. You're bound to see one eventually.

I'm afraid I do not know what you mean. I am rather incapable of living any other way.

This seems reasonable enough.
