>>6050888>Feed on the dead tearsYou gingerly peel back a lifeless eyelid and stab your tongue into the unblinking cadaverous face, savouring for the taste of carrion tears. It is quite repulsive and you shudder at this ghoulish act of self-sustenance. It also feels slightly gay, perhaps even NECRO-GAY. You wonder if Ibrahim ibn Al-Hashim were here, he would be horrified at your transformation into an abomination in the form of some werebeast carrion scavenger jackal or vampiric hyena, citing the warnings of the treatise Hayat al-Hayawan al-Kubra by the scholar Al-Damiri.
You don't feel particularly invigorated or exhilarated from this act of desecration against the deceased, and you fathom it is far more desirable to feed upon the tears of the living in all the quivering vitality of their emotional ecstasies and agonies, the unsubdued ebb and flow of life's suffering.
However, as you experimentally rise and stand and lean against your hobbled leg from your death-defying stunt dive out of the speeding car, you discover that your leg seems to have recovered enough to bear your weight.
You don't detect any particularly supernatural signs behind this sudden convalescence. Whether this is related to your ghoulish deed of tear-suckling, or might just as well have arisen anyway from resting a little - it all remains an unfathomable mystery to you.
(QM: a partial recovery; you lose the hobbled condition, but the minor injury / mild bleeding condition remains, unfortunately)
You wonder if imbibing the lachrymal essences of these victims could confer upon you some of their memories or recollections from moments of extreme emotional duress. What a revelation it would be, if you could relive their sensations from just a few teardrops, recall all their grief and woe, regrets and lamentations!
You focus intensely and contort your face in your best imitation of a powerful, all-scrying all-knowing clairvoyant psychic expression.
Nothing happens. No CGI blurry black-and-white flashback or speeded-up reverse motion psychic montage or stream of consciousness. You are very disappointed.
