Well that just makes sense. I'd do the same thing in that situation.
Uh, well, usually I just say I'm an energytarian, because, see, humans give off huge amounts of energy, heat mostly, but also electrical impulses and stray thought patterns and emotional overflow, and it has to go somewhere, it doesn't just vanish off into the ether.
Well, not really, I guess in some places it does, but back home there's these inter-dimensional creatures called Shadows, and they feed off of all of that overflow, a safety valve of sorts. I do the same thing.
