3rd l o s t s o u l ~ [Action]

[mmmfilletofsoul]

[Cheyenne is lost. The whole village still looks weird and there are things all over the ground in the most inconvenient places. And although she feels quite indifferent about her costume for the most part, those high-heels have done nothing but gotten in her way with every step she takes. Literally, as a matter of fact. She was just on her way out when she stumbled on her feet, tripped on a pumpkin, and slammed into a wall. No real harm done, save for her bruised pride. Unfortunately, this habit of tripping is beginning to become more than just an occasional blunder: she's tripped at least 12 times since leaving her apartment.]

[As it stands now, she was just on her way back to community house 6 when, after spending more time watching the ground than counting the buildings as she walked by, she found herself in a section of town she couldn't immediately recognize. She even took a chance and peeked her eyes over the edge of her new red blindfold to see if she could more readily recognize the area. But really, without a point of reference, it was no use.]

[She soon gives up and decides to sit on the edge of one of the small bridges around town, dangling her feet over the edge just above the river and probably wishing she could just kick those awful shoes right into the water.]



[[ooc: If you haven't already done so, please check out Cheyenne's Permission Post! And as an extra side note, for the most part, she isn't going to be able to see anyone's costume. Unless it's something that completely changes their basic shape. And even then, she might assume that's how they look normally.]]

I'm sure if they only took those who were willing, the population would be much smaller. From what I've gathered thus far, I'm one of the few who is indifferent in regards to which world I am in.

[consultmybooks]

I've met a few like that. Don't understand it, but I know that the sentiment is there.

[generalflirt]

Why not? [He blinks at this! After all, he should try to help, right?

[illusional]

Were you to try and touch me, it would create a most unpleasant sensation. Cursed beings such as myself are not meant to be touched.

[illusional]

I suppose if one has no obligations or ties to their previous world, such as myself, it matters not which one they live in so long as they are alive.

[consultmybooks]

And there are worse places, certainly.

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

I heard you were pretty open about it. [Since his journal was snatched away] Everyone probably appreciated the honesty.

[illusional]

That is true, yes...

[A pause.]

My, it has only just occurred to me that we have been carrying on a conversation without a proper introduction. My apologies. [A small smile.] I am Cheyenne.

[illusional]

A few of them said as much, yes. Although I have never truly lied about what I am, I have never been allowed to live so openly among other creatures. Perhaps at this rate I might even be able to form close social bonds with those living here.

[This is how she says "friendship". Just roll with it. There's a pause as she aimlessly taps her shoulder with that scepter in thought.]

I can't seem to recall a time when I have done so in the past.

[consultmybooks]

Rupert Giles. Nice to meet you - I'm finding that introductions are something I tend to forget rather a lot.

[generalflirt]

Ehh... Really...? [And now he lingers his hand closer to her. Perhaps as a testament to his dumb, he's now tempted to touch her just because she told him not to]

[illusional]

[Kida you perv- I mean And she'll just be scooting a few inches away, thank you very much.]

I must ask that you do not attempt to see for yourself. It is by far an understatement to call the feelings that will result unpleasant.

[generalflirt]

Eeeh, but will it hurt you, Cheyenne-chan? [He askes this with all due seriousness. If it doesn't hurt her and he can still function, he can help her, right? If anything, it'll be a welcome distraction from how things have been starting to go this day. He keeps thinking he might be hearing something]

[illusional]

It will cause me no harm, but it may cause a great deal to yourself. Naturally I have never experienced the feelings caused by my own touch, but I have seen the manner in which other creatures react on numerous occasions.

[illusional]

They are something quite easily forgotten when one is not accustomed to giving them. I am certain I have given my name more often in these past two months than I have in an entire year back in my previous world.

[consultmybooks]

Didn't get out much?

[illusional]

Seeing as I lived outside, there was truly no place for me to go out of. Rather, my kind is generally not well-known for being very friendly.

[consultmybooks]

[And Giles is officially pinged.]

Your kind being?

[illusional]

I am an illusionist. Though I am uncertain as to whether you would be familiar with the term.

[consultmybooks]

I am, actually. but as a sort of magic. Not as an individual species.

[illusional]

The power of an illusionist is from where the name is drawn. We create illusions in the minds of others via our eyes.

[Her hand reaches up and touches the bottom edge of the cloth over her eyes.] Hence, the blindfold.

[consultmybooks]

Very considerate of you.

[CHOICES...]

[generalflirt]

Oh~ It's sweet of you to worry about me, Cheyenne-chan! [And with that, well, he rapidly shoots an arm out to wrap around her shoulder. He initially has a smile, but yes, he just broke ranks to touch her. his reaction to come after her next reply]

[illusional]

[Kida, you're a fool. Cheyenne suddenly jerks away from him and quickly gets to her feet, staring down at Kida. Her expression is completely devoid of emotion, and her voice even more so.] I told you not to touch me.

[But that had been more than just a simple touch of her hand or arm. The more intimate the gesture, the worse the feelings and emotions become, and an arm over the shoulder is more or less half of an embrace...]
