mmmfilletofsoul[It was Sunday today. That meant today was the day Cheyenne had to do something she hated doing more than anything else in Luceti.]
[Grocery shopping.]
[She can be found walking around inside the grocery store, holding an empty bag at her side. Every so often she picks something up, frowns at it, and then puts it back. Occassionally she might shake something, maybe even peek under her blindfold in the hopes of getting a better look at it, but so far that bag looks pretty empty. She'll keep this up for about an hour until she's filled the bag, most of it either produce or something microwavable, and then make her way back to CH 6 to drop her things off. Unfortunately, all the snow from the day before was still covering most of the paths, so she'll probably trip once or twice on her way there.]
[That out of the way, Cheyenne moves on to how she usually spends her day: finding various places to relax and perhaps listen to the spirits passing by throughout the village. More often than not, that place is a bridge; the running water of the river underneath is one of the few things she's always able to see, after all. It's much more comforting than the stillness of her apartment, even if it is chillier sitting near the water.]
[And in the evening, after a failed cooking attempt that she won't be in the mood to talk about, she heads to Seventh Heaven to get something to eat there. All in all, a rather normal day for this illusionist.]

Date: 2011-01-29 07:03 am (UTC)...my apologies. Was it perhaps out of line for myself to ask such a thing?

Date: 2011-01-29 08:59 am (UTC)If you would not mind my asking, then, how is it that you were able to see me? [Tilting her head.] I noticed you were looking at me before I called out to you. Could it be you have a form of vision not dependent on sight, as well?
[Action]
Date: 2011-01-30 01:38 am (UTC)The best ways are by recognizing someone's 'presence,' which is made up by their souls and emotions...
[Action]
Date: 2011-02-02 08:29 pm (UTC)I suppose that is why you approached me? You saw what my soul looked like... that is to say, you saw what was left it.
[Action]
Date: 2011-02-05 07:09 am (UTC)... Why is it like that...?
[Action]
Date: 2011-02-07 03:07 am (UTC)That is to say, the process of changing a creature into an illusionist involves tearing out a large portion of their soul. It is simply how I am.
[Action]
Date: 2011-02-07 03:23 am (UTC)... You must be very strong...
[Action]
Date: 2011-02-07 05:45 am (UTC)[Although she couldn't deny that illusionists weren't powerful in her previous world, that wasn't exactly the case here in Luceti. Not as long as the powercap was in effect, at least.]
I do not believe strength has anything to do with it.
[Action]
Date: 2011-02-07 07:55 am (UTC)I meant your soul. It must be very strong...
[Action]
Date: 2011-02-07 08:00 am (UTC)[Clearly Cheyenne needs to stop being so technical and learn how to take a compliment.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-02-07 09:41 am (UTC)I don't believe that's true. Your soul is torn, yet... you're able to think and feel still, right? You seem... to display some compassion, though you're pretty blunt and have a different way of showing it.
[Action]
Date: 2011-02-09 09:29 am (UTC)I suppose you are right in regards to what I feel. I am capable of limited emotions, yes. However, taking into consideration the amount of time it has taken for myself to get to this point, it is rather unremarkable.
[Action]
Date: 2011-02-10 08:00 am (UTC)And you may not think it's remarkable, I do. ... You had enough will to choose to keep your emotions, right?
[Action]
Date: 2011-02-16 09:34 am (UTC)[A pause.] ...not that I would prefer the alternative, of course. To have emotions, however limited, is far better.
[Action]
Date: 2011-02-16 08:39 pm (UTC)Have others helped you? With your emotions?
[Action]
Date: 2011-02-22 08:56 am (UTC)There is not much need for emotions when one spends their time alone, after all.
[Action]
Date: 2011-02-25 07:19 am (UTC)Do you want emotions...?
[Action]
Date: 2011-02-25 09:10 am (UTC)...I suppose I don't know whether or not I want them. However, to deny they exist would be foolish. Rather, it would be in my favor to understand them so I may function better around others with emotions.
[Action] LJ I hate you for hiding this.
Date: 2011-03-02 11:32 pm (UTC)So in a sense, you do want them...
[Action] /also punts LJ
Date: 2011-03-13 11:28 am (UTC)[A pause.] Then again, without emotions, I suppose one would be unable to feel "boredom" and would not mind such a life. Hm, how puzzling...
