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

There are... different parts to the soul? Like, if your an animal or person? [Give him a minute... eating souls to him seems, wrong, but you're being so open about it.]

[Voice]

[mmmfilletofsoul]

There are four parts, actually. Length and Strength define the physical appearance of the soul itself, as well as defining traits a creature may have. Potency is the center of emotions and feelings. Power is merely stamina.

Although I'm afraid I do not understand your last question... is a human not also considered a type of animal? Certainly humans are generally more sentient, but they are all living creatures nonetheless.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

A-a-hh... good point. I guess they are the same really.

So you really have no other way to eat?

[Voice]

[mmmfilletofsoul]

I still eat regular food in the same fashion all living creatures do. However, being the creature that I am, doing so only ensures that my body does not become malnourished.

Feeding on souls is a separate need that I require, I'm afraid.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

What becomes malnourished if you don't feed on the souls?

[Voice]

[mmmfilletofsoul]

Although it is true I only need to feed once a month to control myself, illusionists were not designed to live such a life. Even feeding twice a week, there is a constant hunger that never truly goes away.

Were I to refrain from feeding for too long, the hunger becomes most unbearable to the point of insanity. Although I will not starve to the point of death without souls, the peaceful creature you are speaking to would cease to exist. I would become, for lack of a better word, a true monster incapable of understanding right and wrong.

So, it's just something that's out of your control.

...so it's safe for the person you're feeding on? If you're in control of yourself?

[Voice]

[mmmfilletofsoul]

That is true, yes. The only side affect of my feeding would be sleepiness or feeling light-headed, both of which can be remedied with a short nap or a meal.

[...]

[And throwing up a private filter before an angry priest, insurance agent, or Legato sees. You're being open and honest with everything. He believes you won't hurt him. Or at least, he hopes it.]

I'll help you if I can.

[Voice//Private]

[mmmfilletofsoul]

[She can't see that there's now a filter, so she doesn't pay it any mind. She does, however, smile.]

You are most kind. If you would be so inclined, may I meet with you and perhaps show you the process by which I feed? It can be rather disorientating the first time for someone who has never dealt with illusions before.

[Voice//Private]

[goldenglasses]

Sure, where would you like to meet?

[Voice//Private]

[mmmfilletofsoul]

The fountain is easiest for me to locate, given my limited vision. I should be rather easy to spot, seeing as I will be the only one wearing a blindfold.

[Voice//Private --> Action]

[goldenglasses]

Oh, a blindfold? [You're blind?] Alright, I'll keep my eyes open for you. [Off he goes and after a bit of looking it shouldn't take him too long to spot you.]

Ah, hello - Cheyenne? I'm Vash, we spoke over the journals?

[Action]

[mmmfilletofsoul]

[Cheyenne turns to the voice speaking and sees Vash, a smile crossing her face. Despite the blindfold, she's looking right up at him.]

Hello, Vash. Thank you for coming to meet with me. I know there are some here who would not be as trusting of a creature like myself, so I truly appreciate it.

Re: [Action]

[goldenglasses]

[Luckily Vash is the type of person who likes to believe everyone has good within them.]

Well, you were being open with everything and it's out of your control. I can't fault you for doing something you can't help in the safest way you can, now can I? I'd hate it if someone called me a monster and hated me for things out of my control. [Which they do, so he can kinda understand where you're coming from.]

[Action]

[mmmfilletofsoul]

It is not entirely out of my control. The fact that I am able to ensure the safety of others and guarantee no creature is being fed upon against their will is, compared to other illusionists, very in control.

And on that note, is there anyone you would like to tell about your offer to assist me? When I previously spoke with a certain chef in regards to this, he mentioned wanting to ask his crew about it first. I believe others might feel the same?
