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.]]

Eeeh... that's harsh, Cheyenne-chan. [Flatly, maybe even mock hurt]

[illusional]

Perhaps. But if it the only way I can prevent you from doing so, so be it.

[generalflirt]

Oh! So you do care! All the more reason to trust me~!

[illusional]

Care? [She frowns.] I suppose I do. However, I care in the same manner as I would were it an animal that was trying to touch me. And I would not trust an animal that acted against what should be natural instinct.

[Kida, you've just been compared to a small, woodland creature.]

[generalflirt]

Eeeh... can't I be a dog instead then? [This is... almost sarcastic, but mostly just playing along now]

[illusional]

[What. Kida just... you confuse her so much.]

Be whatever you want to be, so long as it does not effect me.

[generalflirt]

But dogs are 100% loyal! So that means you can trust me. [and he leans in again. Making his face all close to hers, actually]

[illusional]

It means nothing of the sort. It would take far more than your word alone for me to trust you.

[/brb scooting away slowly.]

[generalflirt]

Like what, Cheyenne-chan? [Okay, he can take a hint. Through his arms up, he takes a step or two back]

[illusional]

[A pause. Unfortunately, there really isn't anyone she can think of who she trusts completely... though there are people she trusts more than others.]

For one thing, you would need to trust me. The fact that you chose not to believe me when I told you the reason I cannot be touched shows me that I do not have your trust.

[generalflirt]

But what if I just wanted to be closer to you, Cheyenne-chan? [Complete with a little laugh on the end of it as he leans up against the rail of the bridge]

[illusional]

Regardless of your intentions, it still does not give off the impression that you trust me.

Not that I normally expect others to trust me, given what I am, but if you claim that I ought to trust you, shouldn't you do the same?

[generalflirt]

Eh, that's just a detail, Cheynne-chan!! I'll help out every girl, even if you are a monster! [...Which is also a lie. Sorta]

[illusional]

Does that mean you would not be so quick to assist me if I were not a girl?

[generalflirt]

Eeeh... probably. [He shrugs here. You're a girl anyway, so who cares?]

[illusional]

Interesting... [She tilts her head to the side and looks at him before looking back out over the water. She falls silent for a moment, and then:]

I still do not trust you.

[generalflirt]

Aaah! You shot me down even after that?! [And he grabs his heart, giving a mock-motion of having just been shot here. He even takes a step back]

[illusional]

[Cheyenne is indifferent to his suffering.]

You have yet to give me a valid reason why I might trust you, so I find that I cannot.

[generalflirt]

You could eat some of my soul if you want. [He said as he crouched down next to her] That won't kill me, right?

[illusional]

[That was unexpected, and it shows on her face.]

No, it would not harm you... is that a sincere offer?

[generalflirt]

[No. Maybe.] Yes.

[illusional]

[A pause. She's thinking something over.] ...if you allowed me to feed off of you, it would be more than enough to prove that you trust me.

[generalflirt]

[Honestly, he's still sweating bullets here. Because his self-preservation instinct- no. No. This girl is just a little girl. Just a little girl. There's nothing off here; this is just and offer. Stop. Panicking. He can't make the same mistake again]

Alright.

[illusional]

If your offer is sincere, sit down and shut your eyes. Do not open them until I say so. [She glances at him, reaching up to until her blindfold.] ...I mean it. Under no circumstances may you look any sooner.

[generalflirt]

[He sits and shuts his eyes. But it's the keeping shut which is going to be a problem, really. He nervously thinks to peek even after he's just sat but... no. No. Fear won't stop him from helping a girl this time, right? After all, she said it wouldn't hurt? Yeah. Yeah.

...That doesn't stop him from putting his hands over his eyes to try to help with the keeping them shut]
