Heeeey Naff I've been thinking about them Sweet Savage Hearts boys again this time wondering about their eating/fueling: I know Grease eats fear but does he eat anything else maybe for funsies? I'm guessing Calmo doesn't eat but does he have any thoughts on human food? Also does he charge in some way or does he and/or MC have to stock up on batteries? Finally, what does Hawthorn eat?
Hey! Oh, my boys!
Grease can technically chew and swallow food like a human, but he would have to spit it back up later because his body simply isn't designed to digest such material. He will, on occasion and purely to rile up MC, eat things just to show off his tongue and make suggestive remarks about someone else he'd devoured. Then later he'd have to privately hack it up like a cat coughing up a hairball. He would be absolutely notified if MC ever caught him doing such a thing.
Aside from that, Grease will occasionally hang around/slip inside movie theatres that are showing horror films to get a nice little snack of fear off of the people viewing it.
Calmo has little thought of human food except for when it concerns MC. Then he calculates calorie intake and confirms that MC has not eaten enough today, what meals MC has or skipped, and if MC has eaten a vegetable in the last seven days. He discovers that cooking is a science and that draws him into crafting nice dinners for MC when he can get MC to actually sit down and partake.
Calmo requires charging. He has a massive battery the size of a brick within his chassis and he's able to hook up to wires and feed off of the energy outlets in MC's home. Once a year, MC has to find a replacement battery and replace the one inside of Calmo's chassis. It's a delicate and precious operation but he trusts MC to do it for him.
Hawthorn is an obligate carnivore. He must eat meat for most of his diet but he will indulge in a fruit or nut every now and then just for a sweet treat or little snack. He will ambush and scavenge large animals in the woods, catch birds and rodents, and snatch fish out of streams and lakes.
His eating out of a deer carcass is something he never wants MC to see, and he grows paranoid it will happen sooner or later.
