'Kayyyy...

That answers one question...

And raises so very many others.

For instance, is the Posses favorite desert... Dream whip?

Ooooooooo.....I just thought of something that could be "fun". As Slick would say..."Oh yeah, this has potential."

Picture Slick or even Zoot snaggin' a "morsel" from either Ben's or Lily's thoughts and it's something like a burrito packed with Jalapeno and Cayenne peppers and slathered with wasabe masquerating as guacamole!

Yeah....I know....I'm a real nasty sumbich....ya don' gotta tell me!!!

And if the posse starts to get chubby, Ben can just hyper-ventilate before imagining their next meal.

If he's light headed, then the food should be low cal, right?

This also helps explain where Gunther gets his heavy weapons.
On the other hand (Ralph probably doesn't want to go here) could Ben and posse use this ability to 'apparate' things like clothes, gasoline, etc.? Yes, they'd probably be short lived but if the gasoline, for example disapeared after use, this could be a plus!
Also, next time Ben is on a diet, maybe he could scarf down the posse's food. All the pleasure of a triple chocolate fudge cake, but no calories!

My guess would be that anything the posse takes from other's thoughts can only be used by themselves or other tulpa.

Does taking something from another's thoughts cause the person to lose the thought? If so, all Ben would have to do to lose weight would be for the posse to take turns stealing food from his thoughts. If not, and if dieting causes him to think about food more, it could result in a fat posse. That is, unless the posse are already in the habit of looking for food only when they're hungry.

If only I could feed my 6' 5" teenage son the same way!

Totally off subject - but for those who really want to lose weight, I've lost 75 pounds over the last 9 months using a combination of Atkins and South Beach (both low carb diets). I get to eat a lot, and by careful shopping and cooking it can be very tasty. It just isn't what I used to be eating.

Hmm, that sounds interesting. I'm trying to lose weight myself. My goal for the year is to reach (and maintain) 86 kg. I'll read up on those two diets.

I say follow WalksFar's advice.

Try not to think too much about it.

With food like that I wouldn't want to get near them. They would either be floating on the ceiling or doing Braveheart imitations.

Good evening.

So, to an extent, the Posse can read Ben's mind, and by extension, Lily's?

The tulpas are creatures that sorta "evolved" out of certain people's brain patterns. Seems pretty natural to me that they'd eat thoughts of food. I don't think they feed on the actual brainwaves themselves so much as the thought the person has. They can see it, and they snatch it out of the air, then eat it. And the person thinking it is left with a suddenly blank mind.

Far as I can tell, that's as simple as it gets.

=P Follow the dragon's advice: Try not to think about it too much.

I was going to post a clever, witty comment, but I just lost my train of thought.

Oh, wait, there it is. Velvet borrowed it.

Choo! Choo!

Like, is that a soyburger, or is Velvet carnivorous like Coney from Kevin & Kell?

Velvet is an expression of Ben's inner child. Since Ben is a bear, eating meat is no biggie for Velvet.

That and maybe the fact that kids normally don't associate things like chicken legs, hot dogs, hamburgers, and such with 'meat'
