5th l o s t s o u l ~ [Action]

[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 ( Read more... )

why so clumsy?, how hasn't she burned the place down yet, my life is average, !action

[Action] Placeholder while I sleep! o/ seiriald January 23 2011, 10:56:54 UTC

[It was Kaori's first day being outside of the clinic and fully able to get around on her own in nearly two weeks, so of course she's taking full advantage of it to walk around the village like she often did, adjusting to being able to walk again despite the occasional wave of pain rolling through. Heck, she's even trying to hum a little again, though it's not very loud.

But when she comes within close proximity of Cheyenne she stops abruptly, feeling unsettled. She knows there's someone there, but for someone who was so finely tuned in with emotions and often used them as a means of getting around and identifying others, there's little doubt someone who... lacked didn't seem like the best word, but how else to describe it. Kaori will be looking her way, curious as usual.]

["Lacked" might very well be the best word, given how Cheyenne is very literally missing a good chunk of her soul. Although she doesn't realize Kaori is looking her way, she does sense that someone is nearby and they've stopped moving. She doesn't recognize the soul as someone she knows, but it is one of the ones that has stood out since it appeared in Luceti.]

[Despite the blindfold, she turns and looks directly over at Kaori. Not creepy at all, right?]

[Action] seiriald January 24 2011, 01:36:37 UTC

[Not at all if she can't see it, right? She can't help coming closer, drawn to the lack of emotions from Cheyenne, even though it might just be dangerous. Too bad she's never been one for self-preservation, or she would have bolted in the other direction by now.]

[Cheyenne watches Kaori slowly make her approach for a few moments before deciding to speak up. She wasn't usually the sort to start a conversation when she was just relaxing, but something about this girl interested her. She's never seen a soul like hers before, after all.]

Hello. Are you looking for something?

[Action] seiriald January 25 2011, 03:35:09 UTC

Uh... I'm not sure, really... [How to explain to a person that you're intrigued by their lack of a soul? Was it even a polite thing to say?]

Your name, what is it? If you don't mind me asking...?

[Action] mmmfilletofsoul January 25 2011, 03:44:20 UTC

[Forgoing politeness is pretty easy when the person you're talking to is nearly incapable of feeling offended.] I do not mind such a question at all. I am Cheyenne.

Might you tell me your name in return?

[Action] seiriald January 25 2011, 03:46:54 UTC

It's Kaori. [That was giving her name out faster than she normally would have, but this curiosity.] How long have you been here in Luceti, I don't think I've seen you around before.

[Action] mmmfilletofsoul January 25 2011, 03:49:35 UTC

In two weeks time I will have been here for four months. However, I suppose you have not seen me as I am the sort to generally keep to myself. It is a rather difficult habit to break.

[Action] seiriald January 25 2011, 03:55:02 UTC

Why would you keep to yourself? [This is a concept Kaori can't understand, being alone too long leaves her terrified.]

[Action] mmmfilletofsoul January 26 2011, 21:56:04 UTC

I suppose it is simply something I had long grown accustomed to in my previous world. My kind is not known for being very friendly.

[Action] seiriald January 26 2011, 22:39:56 UTC

But you seem plenty friendly to me. [From what she can read, anyway.]

[Action] mmmfilletofsoul January 26 2011, 23:26:40 UTC

I do? [That curiosity is going both ways here, it seems.] Although it is true I am rather different from other illusionists, I have never known someone to go so far as to call me friendly.

[Action] seiriald January 27 2011, 05:54:37 UTC

Why not? [But the first part of that sentence is really catching her attention.]

... Illusionist?

[Action] mmmfilletofsoul January 27 2011, 06:07:43 UTC

[Thankfully, she can answer both with one answer!] I am an illusionist, a monster that must feed on souls to survive. In my experience, one does not typically associate "monsters" with "friendly".

[A pause.] ...of course, that is not to say I mean any harm. Compared to others of my kind, I am rather peaceful.

[Action] seiriald January 27 2011, 06:55:22 UTC

[Being called a monster - she can relate all too easily. But that part of feeding on souls... If it weren't for her natural curiosity over this girl, she would have been running in the other direction already.]

If you don't mean any harm, that's what matters, right?

[Action] mmmfilletofsoul January 27 2011, 08:08:48 UTC

That is what I have been told, but even so, it is difficult to readjust. Those in my world would not dare risk believing the words of an illusionist. To be treated as something other than an object of fear is a thing I have not experienced prior to Luceti.

[And after over 200 years of living like that, it really makes the "habit" a bit hard to break.]
