So it's a good thing the Yeerk let Jake eat in book 6.
« on: April 14, 2009, 06:39:39 PM »
Yeerks aren't the only creatures that could die in three days without proper nourishment. The Human body needs food and water, and I believe could starve to death or become dehydrated enough to die if he/she doesn't take anything.

So let's discuss what the others might do if the Yeerk refused to let Jake eat. Would Cassie have something where they could give him nutrition intraveinously? Or would they try other means?

discuss. Or if I'm wrong, and Jake could very well last three days without dying, then correct me.

Well, humans can go 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food.  So yeah, the yeerk could have killed him.  Though, that is a good question as to why the yeerk didn't drain him.

However, if Jake died, the yeerk would have died as well.  Why the yeerk didn't take Jake down with him, though, is a good question.

I agree with B-Rad, I'm confused.... how does this relate to role playing?

Did you post it in the wrong forum by accident?

I honestly have no idea. Messed up that one real good. :-[

It was supposed to be in Animorphs discussion. Not roleplay. If a Mod would be so kind to move, I would be grateful.

3 weeks seems like a very long time to go without food. I heard it took longer to go without food than water, but 3 weeks seems to be pushing it.

If he was trying to kill Jake, why wouldn't he just have him committ suicide?

stopping his hearts? yeerks do have some control over involuntary things, like controlling hearts. aftran slowed Ax's hearts a little in #29.

Interesting thread by the way Chad28!

except he was tied up and guarded so...it'd be a bit different.

I think Aftran had to try hard just to slow down Ax's hearts. I don't know if stopping it would be an option.

Judging from how many times he was able to morph sfter the tiger, I question just how closely guarded he really was. He probably could have thought of something. Especially after he gave up trying to get away.

I actually got the idea from a roleplay I was in, where Kelran's character by the same name was infested. The Yeerk was going to let him starve, so I had my character convince him to come out on the grounds that I'd let him become any nothlit he wanted to. We had the blue box at the time.
