Dylan reads more of the description silently to himself. 'Rub the subject's right ear to engage Feeding Mode, and rub it again to disengage. Subject's eyes will flash green when the mode turns on, and red when the mode turns off. In Feeding Mode, the subject will eat any food and drink any liquid provided to it. Warning: Disengage before putting in anything you don't want the subject to eat or drink. Note: As a safety feature, utensils and the body parts of living humans will not be eaten during Feeding Mode, though anything on them will be licked off.'
Dylan sees more text, but reading about Feeding Mode has gotten him excited to try it out right away. Dylan isn't a patient kid.
Dylan runs to the kitchen, which adjoins the living room. He grabs a bottle of mustard, a bottle of hot sauce, and a can of green beans, all of which he knows Jeff can't stand. He opens the can of green beans. He brings all of it out to the coffee table and sets it to one side of Jeff. He sees Jeff look at it nervously.
"What's that for?" Jeff asks.
"Dinner." Dylan's tone is certain.
"Seriously? I'm not eating that shit!"
Dylan opens the mustard bottle. "There's a little feature you have now called Feed Mode. Just have to rub your right ear."
Dylan rubs his babysitter's ear and sees a green light flash from Jeff's eyes. Jeff doesn't appear to notice.
Dylan turns the mustard bottle over. Jeff jams his mouth shut. "Eat up," Dylan says.
Jeff's mouth opens up, and he sticks his tongue out. His eyes open wide too, panic clear in his expression.
Dylan coats his tongue with a swirl of mustard, and when he stops, Jeff's lips close and he swallows it all.
---
Jeff wants to throw up. He hates mustard. His head won't respond to his minds commands as his mouth swallows automatically.
Then his tongue sticks out again for more. He pleads with his eyes, while Dylan laughs.
"You should see your face!"
Jeff can see his face, as he glances at the mirror Dylan set on his right side. His tongue is obediently sticking out. He looks like an idiot.
Dylan gives his tongue another coating of mustard, and Jeff looks in the mirror to see him swallowing.
"Ugh, stop that!" says Jeff when he's swallowed it.
Dylan sets down the bottle of mustard and picks up the hot sauce.
"No, no, no!"
Jeff watches Dylan pour the hot sauce onto his finger, and Dylan shoves his finger towards Jeff's mouth, which opens automatically. Dylan smears the hot sauce into Jeff's tongue, and at first, Jeff is more grossed out by Dylan's dirty fingers than the hot sauce... until it starts burning. Jeff's mouth, working on its own, swallows it, and then licks Dylan's finger clean.
"That feels funny," says Dylan, still feeling Jeff's tongue.
Jeff's face is starting to sweat, and he glances at himself in the mirror and sees how beet red his face is getting.
Dylan pulls his finger out, allowing Jeff to regain control of his mouth. "That's fucking hot, Dylan, please, get me some milk or something!"
Dylan shrugs. "Or something?"
He tilts Jeff over so that Jeff's head is resting on the table, then pours a generous helping of canned green beans, and green bean juice, into his mouth. Jeff has never tasted anything so horrible as the burning, tangy hot sauce mixed with cold green beans, yet he still isn't able to throw up, and his mouth starts chomping away at it. Dylan tilts him back up, where Jeff can see his miserable face in the mirror. Tears are coming out of his eyes, and he doesn't know whether it's from the taste or the heat or the complete helplessness he feels.

While Jeff is crying like a baby, Dylan grabs the laptop and continues to read the Chronivac screen.
'Rubbing the subject's left ear lobe turns on Silent Mode, and rubbing it again will turn it off. Enable and disable are confirmed by flashing the subject's eyes green and red, respectively. Silent Mode will disable the subject's ability to make noise, including lip noises and tongue clicks. Danger: Subject will not be able to call for help in this state.'
Blah, blah, blah, Dylan thinks as he reads the warning text. Jeff will be fine. Dylan rubs Jeff's right ear lobe to disable Feed Mode, then rubs his left ear lobe to enable Silent Mode.
Jeff's whining cuts off. Jeff appears to be trying to complain, but he isn't actually making any noise. Music to my ears, Dylan thinks. Jeff glares at him as he realizes he can't speak. His face is still sweating. Dylan lets him sweat in silence and turns his face back to the laptop.
'Blow Mode can be engaged by rubbing the subject's head in a counter clockwise fashion twice. Subject will be very skilled during this mode.' Dylan wonders why he'd want Jeff to blow on stuff. Maybe he can make Jeff cool off a cup of hot chocolate for him?
Dylan wonders what else the app can do. He goes back up to the main character sheet screen, and looks at the options.
