*chews grace like a wet squeaky toy*

Got any ideas for how starvation might affect Niko’s species? I noticed that Niko only eats once in the several sleeping cycles they spend in the other world, so I came up with a biological explanation for how that happened.

The short version: because they have a large store of yellow phosphor in their body, and yellow phosphor is a very efficient energy source, Niko’s kind can go for a few weeks without food before their phosphor supply depletes and they start to wither, as if suspended in time, where a human would start dying right away.

This process can’t be without consequences however. We all put Grace in the “not enough food” centrifuge -how about we make Niko suffer similarly? Perhaps most of their food store got compromised or lost to the reason they were stranded in space, and so they’re weak and sick by the time they’re rescued.

Grace and Rocky went through this before. They know what human starvation looks like. But this is not a human, this is a species with physiology that relies on chemical compounds that don’t exist on either of their planets, and potentially deadly consequences for being starved of it.

Picking them up like a kbity. Biting them chewing on them. Cuteness aggression. They are all grown adult women but to me they are my sweet creations

Insert daydreams of anime opening theme song here ending on a shot of them all sitting on a grassy hill or something

Gives you a cool outfit and sparkle VFX. And then throws you in a centrifuge with several ghosts, The Curse, HP Lovecraft himself, the worst person you’ll ever meet, and the ongoing spectre of inner demons. I torment you but hey you’ll at least look cool while you’re suffering, that’s what the magical girl outfit is for :P /j

Puts the couple and throuple on a balcony overlooking the lake or some other romantic yuriful place. Now kith

Pits all of you idiots against an objectively ridiculous sitiation and makes you deal with the monster of the week. The beach episode. Slapstick comedy and bad plans. And bonding! Oh but watch out for the Unexpected Nightmare Fuel.
