Special demonic artisan candles hand made from the remains of those taken...
That makes me wonder what they're made of.
Ear wax and bone dust for the body of the candle maybe?
But then what would the wick be? Skin?
Maybe made from a paste of human hair and fat? (Presuming the hair was all short.)
That's actually much more logical than mine... heh. I think that would be superior as candlewax, but human fat only burns in the presence of more readily flammable materials like string or burning wood(Which human hair would kinda-sorta replace). My concern is that the strands may be too large to bring the fuel to the fire before it exhausts the wick, and may even lose their structure faster than a plant-based wick. Hm... perhaps the wicks are made of fibers from clothing? That is, of course, presuming that the uniforms on the mars base weren't made of fire retardant material.
Can Mythruna have creepy flesh candles?
