If I remember correctly, for you it's energy... I was able to eat energy for a while, though I mostly used it to help Reira get to sleep when the network was too overwhelming for her inside her head. Draining another monster, especially one as strong as her, meant I didn't really have to worry about going overboard and killing her by accident. Of course, I was still eating meat at the time, so it was more like snacking for me.
Without a person's soul, the body remains, alive but unresponsive. If a body is drained completely of energy, it dies. The soul can't survive separated from the body.
If you practice, you might be able to feed without killing eventually. Then you wouldn't have to worry about taking the hunt away from Donnie or him killing before you have a chance to eat.
That would probably work.
[And now...she's half on autopilot because this sure has been a proposal she's had to structure for Some Time Now...]
There are always parts that don't get eaten. Most of the time they get disposed of or donated to the soup kitchen, where they have a chance to serve a purpose. However, it's unlikely that someone with Mr. Bucky's skills would leave something behind as long as it could serve a purpose. It's far more likely that he would salvage what he can, then get rid of any trace he could.
Right now we're trying to work in cooperation with the soup kitchen to recover those parts that can't be used, but by the time it reaches them...the odds of identification are practically nonexistent. Whether he donates portions to the kitchen or not, please tell him that it would be useful if whatever isn't suitable for consumption could be turned over along with any of the victim's personal information and belongings he doesn't wish to take for himself. I'd be happy to collect them from him myself, if that's easiest.
Criminals or not, chances are they have importance to someone. It would be nice to offer those they leave behind some kind of resolution. Any remains at all is better than nothing.
If you could let others know about this sort of thing, as well as encourage interest in helping us at the morgue move away from La Forteresse, I'd appreciate it. If it comes up, I mean.
