So first of all- their arms!

I thought about connecting these mouths with the stomach through the esophagus, but this would greatly limit the mobility of their arms. And the esophagus itself would constantly be squeezed in the elbow area... if they could bend it at all, because it would take very strong and dense muscles to push food from the hand into the stomach ehhh- It might have worked if their arms had a structure similar to a snake's body, but then whole arm would look like noodles.. just too funny looking 💔

So! each hand has its own mouth and a small stomach. Which, by the way, is intended only for sweets / pastries, which are quickly digested and enter other organs through the vascular system.

And one little thing — behind the ring of teeth is a ring of skin. Kinda like the second eyelid of predators, but in this case it is designed so that gastric juice and food do not fall out of the stomach itself.

Took that plant as an inspo :^

+++ their skin itself is thick and there is an even thicker layer of fat underneath.

Can't say more about other internal organs tho... they're just significantly larger than a human's. And the main stomach is designed specifically for meat (that is, it has a high acidity).

Oh, and because of the thick skin and this way of eating, partygoers are very hot (not in that way freak), which can also be useful for luring people. Warm and delicious-smelling creatures with a smile on their face definitely won't do anything wrong...

Although although- Personally Jasper hardly eats meat. More precisely, the consumption of meat of humans ( they are intelligent by his standards + Cross is still a human being too. Partly... It's just too cruel to eat them), partypoopers (He tries to maintain a neutral relationship with everyone, them too 🤞) and partygoers (He's terrified of the idea that it might bring his mind back to them) is a huge taboo for him. He eats either human food (canned food or whatever kind of shit can be found in the backrooms) or any other not really intelligent entities he can catch 😛

Lore thing yahoo-

Gazing Stars in the game generally expressed his doubts about who they were even trying to solve the Big Problem for. The ancients ascended a long time ago, after all. So I thought, why doesn't he start collecting information about the Ancients? Save their history for the next civilization so that they don't repeat the mistakes of the past... Or, using the experience of the Ancients, Iterators, and wild creatures (represented by Heather/ Veresk) to find a solution to a Big Problem, like Silver of Straw did. But that's only in their dreams.

Oh, yes, Heather is a slugcat. She's not exactly a messenger like Spear Master or Hunter, but rather a collector. If I gave her a more canonical name... she would have been Librarian or Memorizer.

Also, if these two were in the game, then Heather would have a karma loss mechanic. That is, by collecting echoes and specific pearls, she would lose karma, even to the point that it would acquire a negative value. And while collecting echoes/pearls, she would have seen hallucinations with the Ancients, because this crest on her back is not just wool, but highly sensitive antennae. They are also able to electrify, which allows her to wear a large number of pearls and "lie" to the gates of karma. Because when her karma becomes negative, she, of course, will not be able to go anywhere, and to lock the player in one location without being able to get out... It's cruel and boring.

And GS giving her drone to bypass karma gates is boring too, because Artificer already has that
