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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

[Thinking about this for a minute- oh wait.] A pirate is something a human identifies as, correct? Not a sort of creature on it's own?

Ah, yes---piracy is a vocation among a certain class of humans, such as myself, miss. Though we are creatures set apart by our calling, you might say.

So you are a pirate, then? If I may ask, what is the name of this pirate I am speaking with?

Sparrow. Captain Jack Sparrow, lass.

Captain Sparrow, is it? I take it you are a pirate or some importance, then?

Of some infamy in the land I'm from, but there's little piracy for those what want it in these parts.

I must admit, I am still not entirely certain what you mean by "pirate". However, if they are as you have stated before, "parasites of society", then perhaps I can understand why they would not be wanted in this world...

Regardless, I believe it is safe to assume pirates to do eat souls.

all7seas: (exCUSE me?)
From: [personal profile] all7seas
Well of course we're WANTED, milady! We're important fellows, pirates! And we do not eat souls, though we have been known to trade them.

illusional: (What is this I don't even...)

...and how exactly does one go about "trading" a soul?

all7seas: (stars seem to lose their place)
From: [personal profile] all7seas
Well first off you've got to calculate how much the soul is worth in terms of other souls, savvy? Now my bitty black soul has been valued in the past at one hundred souls.

Date: 2010-10-14 10:58 pm (UTC)
illusional: (:|)
From: [personal profile] illusional
...those one hundred souls must not have been worth very much, then.

[To be fair, she isn't trying to be insulting.] How is it any one soul could outweigh another in such vast quantities?

all7seas: (I see seven towers)
From: [personal profile] all7seas
That's the nature of value for you; what's rare or in demand comes at a higher price.

Date: 2010-10-14 11:04 pm (UTC)
illusional: (Oh how shocking! [/sarcasm])
From: [personal profile] illusional
I suppose that makes sense, although I am rather confused as to why you would be interested in one hundred souls. Only your own is of any use to yourself.

You'll have to ask the Ferryman of the Dead that question, lovely soul eater. It seems he wanted mine very badly indeed.
