10th l o s t s o u l ~ [Action]

[Cheyenne was hungry.]

[It had only been a few moments since she awoke, resting in the snow and shivering, and she was already on her feet and walking. Somewhere in the back of her mind, she realized where she was. This wasn't the desert anymore. No, this place was still familiar... Luceti. But the name held no significance for her yet. Her mind was racing. For the first time in what felt like forever, she could actually think. The hunger was still unbearable, but the shift into the barrier was enough to give her some control.]

[She needed to figure out what to do before she froze to death or gave in to temptation. She didn't know why, perhaps her mind wasn't clear enough to understand, but she knew she couldn't go into the village yet. She needed to wait... but for what? Waiting wasn't going to make things better. Perhaps, if she could find just one person, she could pull herself together long enough to feed without putting them in danger?]

[But did she have the self-control to do so?]

[She was so hungry...]


--

[Much later in the evening, Cheyenne will make her way around the village in an attempt to refamiliarize herself with the setting, this time wearing her blindfold. It hasn't changed too much since she was last here, thankfully. She'll grab a few things from the item shop to bring back to her apartment before finally stopping by Seventh Heaven for dinner. Her memories of Luceti place are still coming back in bits and pieces, but at the very least, she remembers she ate here often.]

[Feel free to run into her at any point, though she'll probably be a little unresponsive until after she's eaten actual food.]


--

((ooc: Okay, so! Cheyenne here is an illusionist. Normally she's much more in control of her powers, but after a month and a half of not feeding at all, she doesn't have a very strong hold on mind right now. The powercap brought back some of her sanity, but until she can manage enough to go into the village without eating every soul in sight, she'll be wandering around the forest just outside the village. Unfortunately, she's doing so without her blindfold on, which means anyone who happens to see her is at risk for being fed on.

If you want your character to run into her in the first part,
please fill this out! And keep in mind she might avoid your character in the future if they didn't already know each other from her last stay here. Basically, when someone looks into her eyes, they will be trapped in an illusion of whatever it is they fear the most. Only your character will see the illusion, and they won't be able to move until freed. If your character wears sunglasses/goggles/anything that obscures vision, or is blind, they won't be affected by illusions. And don't worry, she won't feed long enough to leave any damage to your character's soul.

And of course, she'll be completely sane for the second part!))

[Noel winces.

She didn't mean to. She honestly didn't mean to see any of that. After all of that... what does she even say to him, now that he knows?]


I... did. [Nervousness. She can't hide it from her tone. If only Noel would have known what he was thinking--maybe she wouldn't already be so worked up over this.

After all, would he want to be near her again if he knew she could potentially see his memories from a mere touch? It's not like him... she knows that. But something like this--it's a completely different story.]


I'm sorry. I-- I'm really sorry. I didn't know... this would happen again. I-It's been so long, and-- it-- I... thought it was finally over.

It... It's okay. It's not your fault, you couldn't stop yourself.

[Luke rubs his left wrist, still not looking at her. His own tone holds nervousness, too, and dejection. Now that she's seen what happened... he's told her before, but actually seen it, and how he acted, and the extent of what he did, how is she going to react? He's... He's a monster. Who'd want to be with someone like him?]

I'm... the one who should be sorry. That you had to see all of that. I swear I'm not like that anymore, and I'm... I'm trying my best to atone for everything. I know I can never do it, but... [He shuts his eyes, just expecting to hear the shift and crunch of snow.] I'm sorry.

[He... what?

A moment's silence passes before he hears the noise he's been so dreading. But not the way he had expected. It's weird, she knows, or... at least feels. Noel is just as worried and scared of what he'd think of her. She looked into his head and saw memories; memories so precious yet so painful-- Things Noel should never have been allowed to see.

She's just as scared, yes, but... when Noel thinks about how Luke must feel, she doesn't think now would be a good time to grovel on the ground and worry about herself.

Not after what he said.

The crunching of the snow he hears? It's coming in his direction. Though Noel is way too afraid to touch him right now, she... she has to do something.]


No. Luke, you... you shouldn't be the one apologizing, either. [...] Not after everything that's happened to you.

[Yes. You.]

[Luke's eyes widen a little with surprise, both at the noise and what she says, and he raises his head a little to look up at her. That's... the first time someone's said something like that to him. That he shouldn't apologize for it...

He lowers his gaze and his head again. It's... nice of her to think that, but...]


It's not like I didn't deserve any of it... You saw what happened. I'm the one who caused all of that.
