[The end of the event wasn't so much a relief for Cheyenne as it was the single most confusing thing to ever happen to her. Never mind that she had been so much younger. Never mind that for two weeks, the hunger was gone. Never mind that she saw colors and shapes and people and her friends and herself in the same way others have always seen. The ( Read more... )

See the village through new eyes, you say? That must've been quite the experience, indeed.

You're doing all right, then, Cheyenne?

[ voice ] mmmfilletofsoul December 9 2010, 06:05:44 UTC

It was, yes. I meant that statement to be quite literal, as my usual method of vision was replaced with the same sort most humans are accustomed to. Although I cannot say I can recall everything with completely clarity, I find that I am now able to put a face to quite a few of the souls I see around the village.

[ voice ] hakoiri December 9 2010, 07:12:45 UTC

Amazing . . . How was it, based on what you can recall? I take it this is about the first time you've been able to see around you on this sort of physical level.

[Voice] mmmfilletofsoul December 9 2010, 07:24:54 UTC

Hm... I find it a bit difficult to describe, namely due to the fact that my vision was not all that had changed. Everything about myself was quite different. To put it simply, I was no longer an illusionist, and didn't seem to recall ever being one.

[Voice] hakoiri December 9 2010, 07:29:40 UTC

. . . Meaning, you were more like us, and your memories were morphed to suit that change. I believe I understand where you're coming from. It didn't seem to be a very uncommon alteration.

It's odd how one can be so different while remaining as oneself.

[Voice] mmmfilletofsoul December 9 2010, 07:35:26 UTC

...I would not go so far to say that they were morphed, as I believe the memories I had were ones I used to possess. The form I had taken was one I have once had.

I was not born an illusionist, after all.

[Voice] hakoiri December 9 2010, 07:42:10 UTC

Ah, so . . . you regressed, in a word.

I had no clue. I'd assumed you were always what you are, the idea of becoming it hadn't occurred to me.

[Voice] mmmfilletofsoul December 9 2010, 07:51:33 UTC

That is one way of describing it.

And I wouldn't expect anyone here to know, seeing as illusionists seem to be unique to the world in which I was created.

However, given that illusionists are entirely female and my kind ages at rather unsteady rate, reproduction would be quite impossible.

[Voice] hakoiri December 9 2010, 08:02:18 UTC

That's an odd way to describe your birth.

Are there no mixed bloods to speak of? Regardless of the aging rate and whether reproduction is an option or not, surely your kind isn't against forming close relationships.

[Voice] mmmfilletofsoul December 9 2010, 08:23:10 UTC

As a matter of fact, they are incapable of it.

Were I entirely like my sisters, we would not be having this conversation. For unlike them, I am capable of controlling my urge to feed. My kind did not receive the reputation of a monster out of superstition alone.

[Voice] hakoiri December 10 2010, 04:13:57 UTC

Monster . . . They're only following their instincts. [ But is that an excuse for feeding -- feeding on souls without control? And isn't uncontrollable behavior one primary trait of a "monster"? ]

I'm sorry, Cheyenne. I must sound so ignorant of your kind.

[Voice] mmmfilletofsoul December 10 2010, 04:33:28 UTC

There is no reason to apologize, Alf. All anyone knows of illusionists is what I tell them. Perhaps I am at fault for not taking the time to better explain what it is I am, especially to one who has so graciously offered their own soul to me.

[Voice] hakoiri December 10 2010, 05:04:37 UTC

It is my pleasure to help you in any way I am able, and it was indeed I who offered. The fault most certainly doesn't lie with you! You've already explained more than I could ask for.

[Voice] mmmfilletofsoul December 10 2010, 05:19:07 UTC

Your words are most kind, Alf.

Still, if there is ever anything else you would like to know, I have no problem with explaining to the best of my ability.

[Voice] hakoiri December 10 2010, 06:45:06 UTC

You've told me enough for today. I don't want to bother you with too many questions; however, in deference to your offer, I'll let you know when I'm curious. Thank you.

[Voice] mmmfilletofsoul December 10 2010, 06:50:03 UTC

Of course.

[A pause.]

Actually, if you do not mind, might I ask you a question, Alf?
