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!))

...a desert. With glass trees.
[Thiiiinking.]
I suppose the desert was the last place I had been. But there were never any trees there. [...] Not that I would have been able to see them. To be quite honest, I had very little control over whatever illusion it is you saw.
no subject
Although, the small girl who looked like you said she couldn't leave that place. That someone was sad when another girl had been taken away. I wasn't sure if she was talking about herself, or another part of yourself.

[...] Though I do not believe it is the sort of fact you would find comforting, souls that are consumed by illusionists are not aware of their continued existence. They are not considered living. They cannot function without their mind.
[She seems to be doing a pretty good job of side-stepping the points he's actually trying to bring up.]

I don't know what you saw, but I suppose it is possible the sun setting was simply meant to reflect the amount of time it takes for an entire soul to be consumed when done at a steady rate. Had your soul been entirely consumed, you would have either been released from the illusion or died. Though without a soul, I can't imagine you'd live very long. Most creatures who survive the process will attempt to end their own life due to the intense pain of being entirely separated from their soul.
[...not the kind of thing Cheyenne usually talks about, but she's still not exactly in her right mind. Not insane anymore, no, but very disconnected from her usual limited emotions.]

Though my kind knows it is impossible to regain our original souls, feeding is the only way to placate that hunger.

[A pause. She shivers, then makes an attempt at sitting up... though given she barely moves at all, it's probably hard to tell she's even trying.]
...I do not fully understand why at the moment, but I feel it necessary to say that everything I have said up to this point is not something I wanted anyone to know.

[She asks as though it were a serious question, though she speaks again before he can answer.]
I should be apologizing. I've done something so terrible to you... to you and--
[She stops. A wave of memories hits her and she forces herself to sit up quickly. It doesn't show on her face, but she's feeling something, and it's very unpleasant.]
[Guilt. So much guilt. Vash wasn't the first person she ran into, after all.]

...Vash.
You weren't the only person I ran into today.

[She speaks slowly, trying to draw out the memories as best she can.]
...Luke. Giles. Another girl I don't remember. And a man. I couldn't have fed for very long on any of them, if at all, or else I would have come to my senses earlier.
And I never left the forest. I knew I couldn't.

However, the illusion seen at that time varies in severity depending upon the individual creature's fears. I cannot saw for certain how terrible it may have been.
