[If she thinks it sounds so frightful and horrific, why does she keep asking questions? Humans are so strange.]

I suppose I wouldn't have a problem with it, provided you do not look into my eyes while I feed. Although I am capable of feeding from a creature without causing it harm when I do so intentionally, should you look into my eyes when I am not prepared, my illusions would reflect your worst fears back to you. That is why I wear this blindfold. It is not an experience I would recommend.

[She skipped over that first question...]

[NOT ALL HUMANS!! ...Though Perona is a rare case, definitely. She has a peculiar sense of what is 'good'. She's never been one to conform to expectations, and what would utterly terrify most excites and delights her. She is an oddity, but wouldn't change her ways if someone paid her (maybe).]

Wha-- [She stops, having her question answer. Oh lord, worst fear? That...that actually sounds terrible, and not in the good way. What does Perona fear? Well, that's simple - the fear of any Ability User - drowning. Her excitement fizzles out like a deflated balloon, and her tone is a lot more serious, eyes knitting together with a growing frown.] ...I'll be careful.

When you...feed, the person is shown what terrifies them most? Each time? [That actually doesn't sound so great.]

Oh, not at all. That is only the case when one looks into my eyes when I am not prepared. It is a "default" of sorts, and can be very dangerous for the creature who is pulled into such an illusion. [She'd probably get no volunteers if that was the case, and would have to settle for living alone in the woods or something to survive.]

For those who have volunteered their souls to me in the past, I only show peaceful illusions, or reflect pleasant memories back to them. I've been told it is actually quite an experience, though unfortunately I am unable to use my illusions without also feeding on their soul.

[Oh, that's actually kind of cute. A peaceful monster is still a monster, and Perona adores monsters of all kinds. Plus, now she has little to fear from the soul-sucking creature...which is always a plus.]

Horohoro, that's rather gracious of you. You don't know what vision you'll cause when it happens? [So kind of like a pleasant surprise for the prey and a meal for the predator. Seems less scary and more beneficial for the two parties.] You're quite different than what I had assumed when I learned you could devour souls, Miss Monster.

I suppose that is to be expected. I don't believe there are many worlds out there who contain monsters such as myself. Even in my previous world, I am something of an oddity among illusionists.

As my sisters are incapable of feeling anything akin to emotion, they are not as... gracious when it comes to feeding, and tend to do so indiscriminately.

[Just in case Perona wanted to know that there are more bloodthirsty versions of this little girl out there somewhere.]

[Oh, that gets a stirring of emotion welling up in the young woman's chest - a bubbling delight that spills over she she holds her face in one hand, breathing out a slow sigh. Ugh, hollow, monstrous, soul-stealing monster who kill. Females, too! Ah, that sounds like a beautiful kind of nightmare. ♥

Thankfully, she calms down after a few seconds, and instead of leaving is actually moving back towards a table nearby.]

I'd rather be different than just like the common rabble... If they don't like how I am, then they can all go to hell. [She's been considered an oddity herself for her tastes and her peculiar ways of dressing and acting, but that's who she is and how she will forever be. Anyone that disapproves can just into the ocean for all Perona cares.] But if you eat souls, Miss Monster, why are you here at a restaurant? Can you eat like humans, too?

[Well, if Perona is moving to stay, Cheyenne will follow -- she was the one heading inside in the first place, after all.]

Of course. Though it is less a matter of whether I can and more of a fact that I need to do so in order to live. As I said before, I do not actually eat the souls that I feed on. I still require normal sustenance to sustain my body, just as any other living creature does.

[...]

Also, I am quite partial to the pasta they serve here.

[Oh, now this is just getting more and more interesting. Perona's a lover of monsters and scary things of all kinds (as well as cuties) and normally demons only eat one specific thing...and mortal food isn't on the list from what she's read up on. But at least this means she can take this super girl monster girl out to lunch and have tea parties in the future!! SCORE.]

Oh, the food here is very good. [Now that a certain gourmet chef has come back, but details.] What other foods do you like? We could have lunch together one day!

[She has to think about that for a moment.]

I would not call myself particularly picky, seeing as I never had the luxury of being choosy. It is really only in Luceti where I have had the opportunity to eat fully cooked meals on a regular basis.

[She was in the desert before she came to Luceti this time around, after all. Cactus and lizards are not the kind of things anyone should have to depend on to live.]

Though now that I thought about, I don't believe I ever asked for your name.

[Oh dear, she never did introduce herself, did she? Whoops! Perona got so excited over the fact she was meeting an actual soul-sucking monster girl that she lost herself a little bit. Ah, she really needs to try and control herself, but its so difficult...

At least she looks pretty sheepish once she realizes her folly. There's even a flutter in her wings and a soft bit of color on her cheeks.]

Eh--th...that's right! My name is Perona. What's yours? [Calling her Miss Monster, while cute, doesn't sound very polite.]
