Subject: He has an issue for the foreseeable future.
Warnings: TBD

{He has spoken to some about this...issue...however it is only after searching that he realizes he must ask for help. This is difficult for Sesshomaru. Imagine, if you will, that he takes a deep breath before recording.}

My usual method for acquiring nourishment... {i.e. eating.} ...is not possible. I do not have a palate for human food nor does it do me any good. I can survive for some time without sustenance, but not forever.

{He should share what he eats, shouldn't he?}

I devour the energy of the demons I kill.

[desirestruth]

Do alternate sources of energy work?

[Because she's seen the bounties on various monsters and has wondered if those will solve her own...dietary restrictions?]

[prince_of_the_moon]

Such as? {Monsters might do if they possess enough energy/magic.}

[desirestruth]

The megafauna here...they're large and possessed with quite a bit of vitality. But I don't know if it would meet your particular dietary requirements.

I haven't really seen any demons besides you. [...Naeva you already told him you're not human. Naeva, you might count.]

[prince_of_the_moon]

It is worth an attempt. {The demons he knows here are either family or...Naeva. He doesn't particularly have an appetite for any of them, thankfully.}

There are three others, but none of them are pure demons.

[desirestruth]

I can try asking Nogard if it knows other solutions, if the beasts do not suffice.

[The leviathans seem to be largely uncaring for the people upon them but she doubts they'd let them starve... So maybe they know a solution.]

[activatingcombatmode]

You devour the what now from the what??

[prince_of_the_moon]

As you wish. {Just don't get eaten or crushed. Leviathans are traditionally bad about keeping an eye on the ants on their backs.}

voice;

[prince_of_the_moon]

I spoke clearly. {Need he repeat himself?}

[activatingcombatmode]

I've never heard of anyone eating energy before, let along energy from. Demons. That's wild.

[prince_of_the_moon]

You have never encountered one like me, then. Pure demons all survive thus.

[activatingcombatmode]

Okay. So you say you're a real demon.

You've seriously never had any real food before? A juicy beef steak? An apple? A baked chocolate chip cookie?

Not being able to eat does seem like a huge problem. Can you tell me more about it? Does it have to be demons? What is this 'energy'? Is it like magic? Could it possibly be substituted for any creature with magic? Or is it magic you need?

[Excuse the cleric and her million questions.]

[prince_of_the_moon]

It is the truth.

I have not. {He turns his head as if he finds the idea disgusting.}

You take nourishment from what you eat, breaking it down within your body and retaining the useful parts. I am the same with demonic energy. Each battle, I am able to strengthen myself on my foes.

{He pauses.}

Humans have souls. Demons are generally simpler creatures. Their energy is the equivalent of their soul.

[inherlight]

So let me get this straight... you fed on souls? Demon souls? That's very... unique.

[Her brows furrows a bit, thinking.]

I don't know if it would work but I have a spell that can summon a special feast through magic. Its different from mundane food and is meant to bolster you before a hard fight. Since its produced with magic... it might be like your soul energy?

[prince_of_the_moon]

It is common for powerful demons to feed upon lesser demons.

{His father had done the same.}

I suppose I must try other options. {He is off to kill big monsters just in case that works.} I do not require much.

[inherlight]

I suppose that does make some amount of sense. The strong eat the weak happens in nature all the time.

[The drow smiles, looking pleased that he accepted her offer.]

I will say that I cannot control the amount of food I summon. But what ever doesn't get eaten dissipates after a while so no harm done. Is this an emergency situation where you need it now?

[prince_of_the_moon]

Precisely.

{Why let power go to waste?}

I have been without since my battle with Naraku. That was before I arrived. I am hungry.

{Ravenous is probably more accurate.}

[inherlight]

[She has no idea who he was talking about but must be a demon since they were on the topic of feasting on demonic energy. If he arrived when she did that would mean... two months? If she hadn't run into him before, she would have thought he was joking.]

That's quite a bit of time. You want to come to my place? Or... do you have a different location in mind for us to meet up?

[prince_of_the_moon]

{He had prepared himself as best as he could for that battle. That had meant finding proper nourishment. But that energy is running very thin.}

I can come to you. Tell me where.

[inherlight]

Oh, yes, of course.

[The image jostled a little as she fished around for the map she has gotten when she first arrived. Flashing it on screen, she pointed to a circled mark.]

I live on the leviathan, Nogard. This circle is my house. But as I warned you before... this place is a little rough around the edges so please try not to get mugged on the way.

-> {Action}

[prince_of_the_moon]

Pity those who try. {And he is on his way, the scenery around him blurring as he races into the wind. He will be in the proper place soon, landing soundlessly, the fluff on his shoulder waving like a large tail.}

I'm afraid I wouldn't know if there are any demons here that would be considered okay to hunt for such a thing... have you experimented before with any magical means that might be able to help you in this case? Like say, using alchemy to brew a potion that would be able to work as a substitute for demon energy to satiate your hunger?

-> [Action]

[inherlight]

[Koh barely had to time to get her place ready to receive guests when she decided to poke her head outside. You know, to keep an eye out for the demon incase he needed help finding her place. But when she swung open her door, there was a man already there, waiting. The drow's eyes fluttered.]

Woah... that was... fast. Please, come on in. [She scooted to the side, leaving enough room for him to pass.] Its not much but please make yourself at home.

[The interior of the small home was dimly lit with all the curtain drawn. There wasn't a lot of personal touches except for a few stacks of books and a stuffed dog on the main table.]

[Action]

[prince_of_the_moon]

{His expression doesn't twitch in the least upon seeing her surprise. He is quick - that is normal for him. If someone were to call him slow, that would bother him.}

...mm. {He nods and enters the home, glancing around briefly before his gaze rests on the stuffed dog. Huh.}

Aren't you a little old for toys? {This is his way of being curious, it's nothing personal.}
