mmmfilletofsoulGreetings, 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 timescrew you, space-time continuum! <3]]

Date: 2010-10-09 01:01 am (UTC)Right. Soon is better—I can make time.
[Voice]
Date: 2010-10-09 06:47 am (UTC)If it is not too short of notice, I am free at the moment. I could meet you by the fountain, seeing as it is the easiest landmark for me to locate. [Running water is much more visible than still, unmoving buildings.]
[Voice]
Date: 2010-10-21 07:39 am (UTC)Yeah, alright. I'll be there.
[...Actually, she'll get there before him. Nearly half an hour before him, because he wandered over to the barracks first, and then Community Housing Building 6, then passed under a bridge, then—you get the picture.
He's got his journal with him, though, so he could confirm that he's still on his way as she waits. >_>a]
[Voice]
Date: 2010-10-24 10:44 am (UTC)[Cheyenne is the epitome of patience and doesn't mind at all that she's been sitting there doing nothing while she waits for Zoro to show up. She'd be doing the same thing had she stayed in her apartment, after all. If anything, it was a chance to sit and enjoy the outdoors!]
[Soon enough, she senses him approaching and stands to greet him.] Hello, Zoro.
[Voice] XD
Date: 2010-10-26 01:17 am (UTC)[Voice]
Date: 2010-10-26 01:52 am (UTC)[A pause.] Hm. I do not believe there is much I need to explain to you in regards to my illusions, seeing as you were present when I fed upon Sanji. Unless, of course, you have any questions?
[Voice]
Date: 2010-10-28 10:32 am (UTC)[He could ask if these illusions show everyone the same thing—but that's pointless curiosity, really.] I know everything I need to.
[He's silent for a moment, then he turns and looks directly into her covered eyes.]
I've got something to explain to you, though.
[Voice]
Date: 2010-10-29 05:32 am (UTC)[Voice]
Date: 2010-11-02 10:10 am (UTC)I've got plenty of power to spare. You're welcome to it. But I've also got important things I need to do with this soul. [tapping a thumb over his heart] So does the cook, with his.
[pause, and then to The Point.] Take from the wrong part, take something that can't be replaced, from either of us, and you'll end up paying for it. One way or another.
[It's not a threat; Zoro isn't at all hostile or aggressive, nor does he particularly believe Cheyenne would take the wrong part, on purpose or not. He's just steady and calm and conversational and very serious, because it's not a threat. It's just important to be clear.]
[Voice]
Date: 2010-11-03 02:04 am (UTC)If something unthinkable were to occur and you, Sanji, or anyone else in the village were to lose that precious part of their soul, it would be wise to end my life as soon as possible. Only through death can an illusionist return a soul that has been consumed. I would not wish a soulless existence on anyone in this village.
[There's no change in her countenance as she explains all of this.] It is my hope such a scenario should never occur. Even so, I feel it important that someone be aware of this fact.
